OPPOSITION TO
MORGAN BANKERS
Reparations Deal Gets
Along Slowly

PARIS, March 13.-The plenary
session of the reparations experts
conference adjourned after a short
session this afternoon and it gen
orally was assumed that negotia-
tions were not progressing very
rapidly. The next plenary session
was scheduled for Friday.
1t had been expected by the allies
that DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, who re-
turned from Berlin where he had
held conversations with his govern
ment, would have some definite
proposals or a definite German an
nuity offer. This apparently failed
to develope.
The elaborate schemes for collect
ing and distributing German pro-
ducts will not mean much, the "ex-
perts" fear, unless the amount Ger
many is to pay can be settled. If
the board dissolves without fixing
the amount of war loot, the French
cabinet may fall. 1t is under fire
now by extreme nationalists for
agreeing in advance to the U. S.
controlled central bank and sales
corporation, and if the total repara-
tions sum is fixed low, it will break
down.
On the other hand, if the sum ex-
ceeds about 1,500,O0O,O0O gold
marks, the German cabinet will
probably fall, as Germany, through
its delegates to the board, has never
offered more than 1,200,000,00O.
