Dawes Plan Hearts Europe Toward Reparations Settlement
The Dawes plan emerged from a Dawes commission led by Gen. Dawes to assess Germany's capacity to pay reparations. Germany and Britain approved it in April, with Belgium Italy and Japan accepting. France withheld initially. Owen Young became fiscal agent in July, and by August the pact was signed after London talks and parliamentary ratifications. Germany began payments in September as a step toward European recovery.
