PARIS. November 25.-Col. James
4. Logan. ir.. American observer
with the Reparation Commission,
has been actively pegotiating for
several weeks with the finance min
isters of the allied powers, or their
representatives in Paris, for full
recognition of the American position
respecting the United States claims
under the Dawes plan. The neget-
atoms have been in the form of prior
conversations to the coming meeting
Of the tinanct ministers i'll Paris to
distribute the proceeds of the repa-
rations under the Dawes system.
An agreement with France, to
which attention was drawn by an
allusion made by Finance Minister
Clementel in the Senate last Friday
during the debate on the American
loan, is i'll the form of memoran-
dun of, a conversation that took
place between Col. Logan and NJ.
Clementel October Is last which was
initiated by both.
The French government accepts the
American view. that not only should
the costs of the army of occupation
be paid under the Dawes settlement;
but also between $250,000.000 and
S300.000.0 900 of war damage claims of
American citizens against Germany.

Gated by a mixed commission, so that
the precise total has not yet been

as an inopportune time to disclose
the identity of this government, be-
cause OF the fact that. conversations
are still going on with the other
finance ministers concerned. Opposi-
ton, if there should be any, is likely
TO come from the British treasury
only, which appears reluctant to
c"ncede so large an American in
t"rest as upward of S500,000,000 in
the receipts under the Dawes plan.
The American position is that in
equity the United States is entitled
10 the payment of war claims under
the Dawes arrangement, regardless
of the fact that America did not
ratify the treaty of Versailles; that
a separate American treaty with
Germany is of equal authority.
