Our records show that exactly 77.3

PREPARATIONS PACT
FINALLY AGREED ON
AT PARIS Meeting
Germany Will Pay Creditor Ma.
tions $z7,ooo ,ooo, 900 for
World War Losses

Paris, May 30.-(P)-After Is weeks
ay3uous negotiations, at times SEEM
ingly hopeless. representatives Of Ger
many and her creditor nations have
reached an agreement o. how much
the Reich must pay for allied losses
incurred during the World war.
The total. over a period Of 50 years
effective as of september /. 1929. was
estimated today to approximate 49,
000. 900 gold marks or about ST.
O00, 100000. This amount. at 5E per
cent interest, would represent q pres
ent or capital value Of something
more than $500, O0O, 600.

which are in effect those proposed as
a compromise by Owen D. Young.
va given with reservations all OF
which the creditor nations have not
been disposed to accept. Pending
something approximating agreement
on these reservations few close to the
conference were willing, today. to pre-
dict, unqualifiedly. its successful ter
mination. Conclusion Of negotiations,
with agreement or non-agreement on
these reservations written into q final
report to the governments, is expected
this week.
Permits Quick Change
The agreement on figures came
after Encouragement Of the figures
contained in Mr.. Young's compromise
scheme to permit q quicker change
over from the Dawes plan to the
Young plan, the average annuity Of
which had been accepted In principle
by all parties from the beginning.
The creditor nations wished to have
the heavy payments under the Dawes
plan OF $500, OOO, 1000 marks (abou,
$685. ,000, OOO) continue until the enc
Of this year, but the Germans de.
manded the Young plan come int
operation as originally contemplatee
by its author on April l, 1923. Tit
difficulty was solved by splitting thu
difference. and making it effective q!
Of September I. 1923.
Hitches Ironed Out
Other minor bitches were ironet
out by q certain arrangement o
annuities which did not offer tn
general average proposed by MI
Young. This average Is 1850 ,O00.0 Ot
marks (about $402, 900 .000) for 8
years: l.700,000.000 marks (abou
$408, 0O0, 0OO) for 81 years; and 900,
100000 marks (about $216,000.000) TO
the final year.
Members of the German delegation
in describing the rearrangement sai'
it provided for an increasing scale o
annuities until the figure Of 100000,
600 marks was reached in tn
eleventh year, after which the an
nuity figure would increase slowly
VARYING between 2,200, 100000 an
1900, 0OO, 900 marks, resulting in q
average Of 1855, 800. 900 marks. whic|
would not include the interest on tn
Dawes loan.
It was inferred in certain quarter
that the new agreement implied evac

LONDON. June 1.-The leaders
Of the three principal British po-
litical parties began conferences
with their advisers today to deter
mine their next moves in the stale
mate situation that resulted from
labor's failure to gain a working
majority in the next parliament.
With the Laborites holding more
seats than any other single party,
Ramsay Macdonald their leader,
was waiting at his Hampstead home,
apparently ready to form the sec
ond labor government if he should
be summoned.
Macdonald realized. however. that
labor's lack of a majority meant
that he was virtually powerless in
the face of a possible combination
of Conservatives and Liberals.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
left Ger Chequers Immediately after
the election and was receiving i'm
portant Conservatives today. He
will remain there until Monday, dis
cussing with them the various pos
sibilitieS before him as leader of the
second strongest party, which now
forms the government.
