Germans Demand New Conditions In Reparations Talks
Paris May 7. Reparations experts resume confidential talks in a final bid to accept Owen Young’s plan. Hjalmar Schacht presents German conditions allowing revision or suspension of unprotected payments during economic hardship and calls for a new committee to reassess reductions. The unprotected annuities could total 750 to 966 million gold marks, a major sticking point. France supports commercialization to ease national debt but critiques the plan as only partially meeting amortization goals. The proposed payment schedule starts at 1.675 billion gold marks and rises to 2.05 billion by year sixteen, with in kind deliveries capped at 756 million marks the first year.
