General Dawes today after turning
over the voluminous report of Commit

of the reparation commission.

: NJ. Barthou, whose short and stocky
form contrasted markedly with the
ranginess of Dawes and Young. re-
piled somewhat at length. expressing
the commissions sincerest gratitude,
and saying that the experts had ex-
eeeded its hopes, "thanks to the un-
ceasing labor to which the whole
world, when aware of the difficult
ties and strains of your heavy task,
cannot fail TO do justice"
Thus ended the simplest ceremony
of handing over a reparation docu-
mcnt since the Treaty of Versailles.

Reception Of Preparations
Plan Decidedly Cool
in France.
FRENCH NOT SATISFIED
Say Findings Do Not
Recommend Method to
Make Germans Pay.
By the Associated Press.


Paris. April 9.-That the first ex.
pert committee found resources in Ger
many previously unsupported in most
quarters excepting France, is the con-
clusion drawn BY official circles from
the report handed to the reparation
commission by Brigadier General
Dawes.
The summary Of the report. which
is all that has been thus far digested
by the staff at the Quai d'Orsay, fur
nishes a basis for fresh negotiations
regarding reparations they think, but
they indicate decided tendency to
resist the idea incorporated in the cx-
perts' report that their suggestions
must be taken as whole or re-
jected.
There are some excellent suggestions
in the findings, it is said, but sew.
eral governments are interested and
assurance of their acceptance of all
the features of the plan is lacking.
On the whole, the reception of the re-
port is much cooler than the optimism
shown around the foreign office dur
ing the last few weeks would have in
Dictated.
1t is intimated that there would
have been more enthusiasm for the ex-
perts' findings had they devoted some
thought to ways and means of max
ing the compliance of Germany with
the terms of eventual settlement more
certain. As the recommendations
stand, it is remarked, the only guar
antee France would have would be
the presence of her troops in the
Ruhr.
On this point a controversy with
Ramsay Macdonald is apprehended.
The British premier is understood to
be fairly opposed to the continued
presence of troops on the other side
of the Rhine. and laborious negotia.
tons are anticipated before final
plan of settlement can be built on
the foundation laid by the experts.

index.
League Brought In.
When the resources exceed the IN
dex, supplementary payments on rep
arations are to be made in proper
Tomato amounts; when the index
proves deficient, basic payments shall
be made for the period on which the
calculations are based. But subse-
quent supplementary payments shall
not become due until allowance has
been made for previous deficiency.
At this point the League of Nations
is brought into the plan; any disputed
point upon the application of the sta
tistics on the index is to be referred
TO the finance section of the league for
arbitration.
Germany's railroads. estimated by
the experts to be worth 26,OO0,00O,-
600 gold marks, with a net earning
capacity as high as 1000, 900, 900 gold
marks yearly, were found to be an
available means for securing repara-
ton payments and aiding German
finances. The experts propose n
blanket mortgage of 11.OO0,O O,OW
gold marks on the entire German rail-
road system. bearing . per cent inter
est, with l per cent sinking fund
annually.
The interest and sinking fund on
the mortgage, they figure, represent
less than 3 per cent on the entire
capitalized value OF 00O.OOO,OOO
Full interest will not be required dur
ing the period OF reorganization, but
the payment of 330,000,O 600 marks
will be asked in 1925, increasing on a
sliding scale to 660,0O0,000 in 1927
and 1923, which the experts think
ought to become normal years.
To Tax Industry.
German industry under the plan is
expected to provide 5000. 900, 900 gold
marks, represented by first mortgage
! bonds bearing the same rate of inter-
est as the railroad bonds. This
amount, the experts explain. is less
than the total debt of the industrial
undertakings in Germany before the
war.
The interest on these bonds will be
paid on a progressive scale, beginning
the second year with2 IL per cent
5 per cent the third year and 3 per
cent. plus 1 per cent sinking fund. the
| fourth year. In the event of default
in the payment of the interest on the
sinking fund or principal upon either
railroads or industrial bonds provision
is made for the recovery of the DELI

PROFESSOR TO BROADCAST
STORY OF TRAIL BLAZER

Delivering another talk on Amer
ica's mountaineer trail blazers. Prof.
Howard r. briggs of New York
University will introduce the radio
audience to the life history Of John
Golfer, the Daniel Boone Of the
Rockies. Professor briggs is not
only an unusually popular radio
speaker but is well known for the
personal and intimate way in which
he has written the life story of
those whom he has investigated.
Professor briggs gathers his ma
terial by personal association with
the original trail blazers and their
associates and dependents. He
studies the ground which they COW
cred and investigates and checks
up the stories which they tell him.
John Golfer was a Kentucky boy
who won his spurs as an explorer
with the Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton. His most brilliant 1eats were
single-handed explorations when he
; went out as message bearer to
the indian tribes for old Manuel
Lisa, the fur trader. Professor
briggs intimate views Of American
history gives the real story of the
men who made America all the
more realistically because briggs
himself was brought up on the
plains Of the Far West.
