PARIS, June s.-The financial ex-
perts who cudgled their brains for IT
weeks to evolve final plan for payment
of reparations by Germany to the allies
of the Great War today folded up their
brief cases and some of them tonight
were homeward bound to resume their
regular jobs.
1t is now up to the governments Of
the six countries concerned to accept or
reject their scheme, which goes by the
name of the Young plan as the result
of the active Craftsmanship Of owen D.
Young of the United States. Whether
the governments will call another con-
ference or exchange their views through
diplomatic channels remains to be seen.
So. too, does the choice Of methods for
ratifying the report Of the experts,
which can be done by decree In each
country since 1t Is readjustment of the
Versailles treaty rather than q new one.
AS the plan is intended to go into
operation on September /, replacing the
Dawes plan, it is hoped by the experts
that the governments concerned will
have taken action by that time. In
their report made public tonight the
experts recommend that the Young
plan be adopted in full; otherwise they
could not guarantee its success.
Amendments Are Habits.
This remains to be seen, for 1t Is the
habit Of governments and parliaments
to make amendments and reservations
to international agreements. Once the
plan is adopted, 1t is expected that the
question OF the war debt agreements
will finally be settled and put securely
on the shelf so that no amount Of howl
ing by press or politicians can be Of
further purpose.
The Young plan, although it re-
duces by many millions the sum that
the Dawes plan asked Germany to pay,
provides France, Great Britain, Italy
and Belgium with enough money to
meet their war debts to America and
to one another, with something besides
what the war destroyed.
France gets more than half of the
sums Germany is to pay from now until
1889 and Is expected to take action
soon on both the experts report and
her debt agreements with Great Brit
ain and the United States. 1t Is the
desire Of Premier Poincare to ratny
all three agreements by decree after
81;
political difnculties may crop up in this
path.
The banks of issue along with the
governments Of countries involved in
the Young plan have a new job cut
out for them to put into effect. for the
plan contemplates that they should
aid In founding new international
bank to replace the agent general for
reparations. Eventually this bank Is
expected to play an even broader part
in international finance.
Evacuation Expected.
On the political side adoption of the
Young plan Is expected to lead to de-
Of the allied troops from the Rhineland.
In their report the experts said they
had endeavored to reach their conclu-
sions on economic and financial grouncs
but realized that political factors
necessarily set certain limits within
which they had TO seek solution.
Owen D. Young and the other Ameri-
can experts, Thomas M. Perkins and
Thomas W. Lamont, sailed for home to-
night on the Aquitania Most Of the
other delegates had left or we're prepar-
ing to leave The Germans will remain
until Monday to finish translating the
report into their own language. The two
