Dawes Plan Sets Stage For Welt Reparations Settlement
The Dawes Commission led by General Charles Dawes, appointed to address Germany’s reparations, began assessments in January and produced a plan accepted by Allied powers in April. France and others delayed final approval while Ireland and Japan joined Britain and Germany in pursuing the arrangement. The Dawes plan enabled Germany to start payments on September 2, with Seymour Parker Gilbert later named agent general of reparations as major agreements moved forward.
