Cabinets Approve Franco-German Pact Amid Hopes
Berlin reports that the Franco-German pact gains cabinet approval in Germany and France. Hindenburg commends Stresemann while Bonn expects months of negotiations with commissions, Reparations Agent Gilbert, and American bankers. France seeks about a billion gold francs to stabilize the franc in exchange for Rhineland evacuation and Saar return. Germany looks to world markets and five percent rail bonds. The project could reshape postwar relations and potentially end the Dawes plan through a Franco-German alliance.
