United States Proposes China Indemnity at 440 Million
Berlin reports confirm a U S plan to make the powers accept a total Chinese indemnity of 440 million with immediate cash payment. German officials note the sum would largely seal debts but doubt feasibility due to the cash clause. Germany weighs apportioning costs by powers partly because Britain and other claims exceed 17 million pounds versus costs already borne. Associated Press notes Germany appears ready to discuss in conciliatory spirit, spurred by belief that China cannot pay all claims.
