BERLIN, April 30.-With DR.. Hjalmal
Schachts day occupied by sessions OF
the Reichsbank directorate and with
members of the cabinet discussing the
budget at the Reichstag. the reparations
situation was at a standstill today sc
far as Germany is concerned.
The Associated Press, however
learned from an excellent source that
/ DR.. Schacht personally expects the
/ Paris conference of experts to be merely
preparatory to later and more fruitful
parley. Although he and members of
the cabinet who conferred with him
yesterday followed their custom of de-
clining to divulge details of the conver-
sations, DR.. Schacht is represented as
believing that the committee has COM
pleted much valuable work which will
serve as starting point for subse-
quent conference.
Report Causes FURRY.
For brief period today there was a
slight furry and curiosity in political
circles when the Augsburger Zeitung
stated that former Foreign Minister
Richard Won Kuehlmann had been sent
TO Paris to negotiate provisional ar
rangements with the allied experts. But
this quickly subsidized on the issuance
of an official statement that Herr Won
Kuehlmann was in Paris solely on pri-
vate business.
AS to the Reiehsbank, the Associated
I,a{ E.4n 0t eli
ton is considered to have been so well
stabilized by DR.. Schacht and his coll
laborators that the Reichsbank directors
determined at the beginning of today's
session not to depart from the practice
hitherto observed. of issuing no COM
muniuues on these regularly recurrent
meetings.
If owen D. Young. American repara-
fions chairman, should arrive at COM
promise reparations figure acceptable TO
the allies it probably would receive
favorable German reception.
Expect Elastic Terms.
Germans believe that If the settle
nent should be too big burden Its
terms would be elastic enough 70 pro-
vide some measure of relief.
Granting even that Mr.. Young SUBJ
Ynitted figures Judged here beyond Ger
many's capacity to pay, If they We're
accompanied by a protection" clause
similar to that contained in the Dawes
plan they might prove workable, at
least for the present.
Germany, it was said, could make
real and determined effort to meet
them. but If such measures. Loyalty un-
dertaken, proved ineffective the Ger
man government would want to be IN
uosition to demand revision without
being charged with bad faith.
Several Reports Likely.
DR.. Schacht. it is said, foresees two
and possibly three reports from the Sec
ond Dawes committee to the govern
ments of the various delegates, one by
the allied experts, one by the Germans
and perhaps one by the Americans.
The study of these will be most
valuable for delegates to any later con-
ference.
One of the most pleasing aspects OF
the negotiations at Paris from DR..
Schacht's point of view is the unanirn-
ity that has characterized the opinions
of members of the German delegation.
He told a friend that he never dreamed
the delegation of four men, with strong
views personally. could see so perfectly
eye to eye.
