GILBERTS REPORT TO
HAVE GREAT INFLUENCE
Is Last to BE Issued Bef0ro Nego-
tiatims for Revision of
Dawes Plan Begin.

Berlin, Jan. . R-The signifl-
canoe of Seymour Parker Gilbert's
report as agent general for repara-
tons is emphasized in ofiicial quar-
tiers and the press since 1t is the
last one to be issued before nego-
tiations for a revision of the Dawes
plan begin. 1t is felt that the re-
port will exercise a considerable In
fluence upon the experts who will
be called upon to establish Ger
many's final Indebtedness.
Newspapers asser. that Mr.. Gil
bert is seeing Germany through rose
colored spectacles and that the re-
port presents an unjusti1ably fav-
orable picture Of German economic
life.
When II is said 1.-THE Dawes plan
is functioning" it simply means,
commentators say, that Germany
has been borrowing money to pay
her creditors.
On the other hand, a section oil
the press readily acknowledges the
justice of Mr.. Gilbert's structures
regarding excessive expenditures by
states and communes over which
the Reich exercises an insufficienl
control.
