Proposals for Reparations Inquiry Await French Reply
The United States has sent its proposal for a reparations inquiry by a commission of financiers to Paris but awaits France’s definite reaction. Secretary Hughes stated there is no time limit, and the plan remains before the French government. Ambassadors and officials expect further steps, while cautioning that forcible measures would not secure payments. American troops remain in the Rhine area, with withdrawal unlikely at present, and the U S will protest any French troop movements through the American zone toward the Ruhr. Berlin notes Germany’s position as France engages on reparations discussions.
