which Frances payments would be re-
duced If Germany should fail to meet
her obligations under the Dawes plan,
is still being insisted upon by some
members of the foreign affairs COM
mittee Of the Chamber Of Deputies.
but it is hoped this opposition can be
surmounted.
A majority of the members of the
foreign affairs committee favors an
accord on the principle Of liquidation
of the debt in SO years, with initial
payments of $25.o00,o 900, whether or
not the safeguard clause Is incorpo-
rated in the agreement.
Premier BRAND again has told the
committee that some agreement is
imperative. He said the Ambassador
in Washington was making great ef-
forts to obtain conditions so that pay
ments by France could be proportion
ate to her capacity TO pay and to the
receipts from Germany.
