work for a complete and definite
settlement Of the reparations prob
lem. After a series of conversations.
Great Britain, France. Germany.
Italy, Belgium and Japan reached an
agreement to name the commission
and an accord in principle for special
official negotiations looking TO evacu-
alton az the R~hineland.
In some circles opinion was held
that discussion of PREPARATIONS would
lead 70 a discussion Of war debts in
general.
Disclaimers we're issued, however,
that Europe had any wish to drag the
United States into the r~eparations
discussion. Nevertheless. general
opinion IN political circles appeared
20 be that nothing sound. complete or
final could be achieved without the
collaboration Of America either
through governmental representa-
tives or ~financiers who would reflect
Washington's views.
When delegates Of fifty nations TO
