Big Quarrel
LOOMS AMONG
The DIPLOMATS
For the First Time
Nobody Talks
tspeoIaI % The DaIIy w0rksrl


PARIS, Jan. IA IuII before
the storm atmosphere prevailed
in Paris this afternoon as time
brought ever closer the opening
tomorrow of the allied financial
conference.
In diplomatic circles there
was a distinct tenseness of ex-
pectancy and, for the first time
since the war debt situation be-
came a controversy no foreign
representative was willing to
talk.
United States Ambassador Kellogg
arrived from London this afternoon.
He would not discuss the situation. It
was thought possible, however, that a
statement outlining Americas insist
ence on payment of its war claims
thru the Dawes plan would be forth
coming.
U. s. Wants seo5, 5,ooo, 900 ReparatIons
Americas fight to obtain S605,000,-
900 as its share of loot and reimburse
ment for the cost Of the American
army Of occupation at the Coblenz
bridgehead will begin tomorrow, when
She allied financial conference con-
venes.
The United States claims $3.50, ,000,-
600 for damages to persons and prop
erty by Germany during the war, and
s255,O0O,00O for keeping the dough
boys on the Rhine for five years.
The finance conference must decide
whether the French and Belgians are
entitled to deduct the cost of the
Ruhr armies of occupation from the
cash and material obtained in the
Ruhr between January, 1923, and Sep.
tember, 1924, or whether all the pro.
ceeds shall be Jumped together and
divided pro rata.
Readjust Percentages.
Then the finance ministers must re-
adjust the allies percentages Of rep
arations under the Dawes plan, which
reduces the total indemnity Germany
was ordered to pay by the 1921 agree
mouJ from l0AyVOOsOVVsVOV SOlu udEAS
(S3s, 900, ,OOO,OOO) to an indeterminate
figure, generally set at 44,O0O,000, 900
gold marks (s11,OO0. .OO0,O00).
The fxation and deduction Of vari-
GUS priorities must also be solved, IN
cluding the American claim for priori-
ty tor the cost of the Coblenz garri-
son under the Wadsworth agreement
and the expenses Of various commits
sions.
The total OF these priorities exceeds
4OO,OOO.O00 gold marks (S100,0O0, ,00O),
so for few years the allies will have
only 600,000,0O0 gold marks (S150, ,000,-
O00) to divide for actual reparations.
No Discussion of War Debts.
The American delegates, Ambassa-
dor Myron T. Herrick, Ambassador
Frank B. Kellogg, and Col. James Lo-
gan, are instructed not to permit any
discussion of Americas war debts,
and to insist on a settlement of the
United States claims.

"There is no foundation for the re-

The article read in part as fol-
