Dawes Plan Seen as Path to Economic Recovery
The Dawes committee reports a plan to ease reparations for Germany, arguing it can fund payments from taxes, railways and debentures totaling up to 2.5 billion gold marks initially, with phased increases. It calls for a German central bank, foreign help to capitalize the bank, and a general board including an American member to guarantee compliance. The second committee notes Germany has 6.75 billion gold marks abroad and outlines recovery options, while the Times favors the plan and Britain cautiously welcomes it, fearing French Ruhr control and a four year moratorium.
