WAR DEBTS FOUND.
Committee Plan Subordi-
mates Total Due to Amount
of AnnuitieS.
By the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated Press.
! PARIS, February 22.--An avenue of
attack for the main problems Of the
.reparationss settlement seems to have
been discovered.
Working since the first of the week,
samorg them, a subcommittee of five of
sthe second Dawes committee" has
found a basis for possible determination
OF how many and how much the Ger
man reparations payments will be.
The subcommittee plan, 1t is under
stood, involves roundabout procedure,
I'm which the idea of a grand total is
gsubordinated to that of the size OF the
annuities themselves.
Two Provisions.
Under the Dawes plan, the transfer
clauses" determining the size of the
annuities. has two provisions, one pro-
tecting Germany from extortion OF too
large apyinents, the other providing In
crease in the size of the annuities &C.
cording to a device known as the index
Of prosperity.
Thus a serious financial depression in
Germany might have brought about
reduction in the size of the annual pay
ment. or an increase in prosperity have
resulted in an increase in the annuitieS
IL
derstood, to eliminate the protection
idea from the transfer clause on one
hand, and on the other hand discard
the plan of increased payments accord
ing to enhanced prosperity.
Believed Basis Of Settlement.
It is believed that this scheme may
prove the basis for settlement of the
size of the single annuities, the problem
then remaining being to determine over
how long period the annuities are to
be spread, or, in other words, what the
grand total of the payments will be.
+ It is thought probable the vast d.
vergence in viewpoint between the
Germans and the allies better may be
spanned in this way than by attempting
to find compromise between the maxi
mum which Germany says it can pay
and the minimum which the other ma
tons say they will accept.
