Young Plan Signed Ends War Reparations Dispute
The Young plan for World War reparations was formally adopted today ending the long diplomatic dispute. A new international bank will operate from Basel and Germany with cross border oversight, removing the prior reparations machinery and shifting control away from the old commissions. The plan cuts Germany’s indebtedness to a much smaller figure and unifies creditor and debtor nations under the new bank. Parker Gilbert watched the ceremony in Basel as the old reparations apparatus dissolved.
