GERMANY ACCEPTS
ALL ALLIED TERMS
Of WAR DEBT PLAN
Agreement on Dawes Pro-
posaI UnconditionaI-Ruhr
Evacuation Planned

LONDON, AIg. 11.-tBy the Asso-
ciated Press. THE allied and Ger
man experts attached to the interna-
tional reparation conference, have
reached a full agreement on the
Dawes program, it is announced.
They remained in session until .
o'clock this morning to arrive at an
understanding on reparat1ons pay
ment in kind on which the Germans
held out until the results of Premier
Herriots Paris mission became
known
Names for the post Of permanent
agent general to carry the Dawes
plan into effect are being discussed
in conference circles since the an
nouncement that the French will
gree to the evacuation of the Ruhr
on conditions which it seems likely
the Germans will accept. James A.
Logan, American representative on
the reparatiOn commission; Dwight
+. Morrow, of j. p. Morgan & Co.,
and Paul d. Cr.;vath are mentioned
frequently.
Owen d. Young Of the Dawes COM
mittee, seems TO be generally re-
'garded in conference circles as the
ideal man to initiate the Dawes plan,
but his announcement that he would
only consider taking the post tempo
rarlly makes the selection of his sue
cessor necessary at an early date.
This morning the big Fourteen, "
the allied and German delegation
leaders, met for an hour and a half
at No. 10 Downing street and heard
M. Herriot's report of his Paris trip.
They then briefly considered the one
remaining problem within the PR
view of the conference proper-that
of the, allied railwaymen remaining
on the German lines.
This issue is so closely connected
with that of the evacuation of the
Ruhr. that both seem likely to be
settled at the same time, although
the Ruhr issue will be kept outside
! the conference.
The French premier's return with
his cabinets full approval of his
Ruhr evacuation policy put new life
and nope into the delegates, and
British observers believe the confer
encse will end by Thursday.
puring the morning the allied dele
gates also met with the Germans
who approved the conclusions of the
second committee which has been
studying the problem of the econom-
. ic evacuation of the RUIN.
Prime Minister Macdonald accept
ed a suggestion made by M. Herriot
that the allied delegates, some time
before the end of the conference, ex-
|change views with the German dele
gates on the resumption of military
control OF Germany. in order to give
France assurances regarding her Sc
.curity.
M. Herriot declared that the Ge-
cisions taken in Paris at the cabinet
meeting concerning the evacuation
. of the Ruhr had shown the peaceful
spirit of France, and had brought
immediate results. He said the con-
ference now was assured of success.
