BASEL, Switzerland, December IT
Members of the Young Plan Commit
tee examining Germanys capacity to
pay reparations are holding up their
recommendations as to the time and
place for an international conference
on this matter until after the Amer
lean Congress has acted on the Hoover
moratorium.
The interested powers, it was said,
are unwilling to make any definite
plans in this respect until the outcome
in Washington is known. 1t is ex-
pected that the conference, which will
approve or reject the Young Plan Com
mittee'S report. viii be held in the mid
die Of January, probably at Geneva or
Brussels.
Statisticians Report.
Preliminary conversations are going
on between the European capitals in
order to get the reparations business
out OF the way before the Disarmament
Conference starts on February 2.
Inc SIaClStlclanS' Subcommittee re-
ported today, it was understood, that
the reich'S foreign trade balance should
be more than sufficient to pay the
$l50,O0O,000 unconditional annuities
held essential by France.
The subcommittee report was not
made public, but it was turned in to
the main body and will be included
In the final findings Of the Investigators
Interest Bill Lower.
The reference to the foreign trade
balance was understood to have been
included in the report at the request
Of the French delegates.
The subcommittee also declared, 1t
was learned, that Germany's total an
nual interest bill is SIP, 100000 less
than the amount submitted to the COM
mission last week by Dr. Carl Melchoir
German member of the Young Plan
Commission.
The subcommittee, composed of sta
tisticians and headed by Maurice Frere
of Belgium, reported the proper inter-
est total to be 1887, 5000, while DR.
Melchior gave it as $450000,000.

"It is possible to conceive q high typ 4
