Reparation plan eyed to mortgage German rail system
Paris Feb 1 The expert committees on Germany’s resources propose using a ten billion Reichsmark mortgage on the German railway system and other government revenues to fund a shared loan. France would hold about 1.2 trillion geld marks in bonds with payments of 412 million yearly, backed by German guarantees. American financiers may be invited to invest, with bond payments directed to creditor nations under a Spa conference plan. The move aims to finance reparations without new direct loans to Germany, amid Allied occupation concerns.
