Germany Refuses Bond to Back World Bank Reparations
In Lausanne on July 1 Germany declined a Franco British proposal to deposit a 6.0009 billion mark bond with the World Bank as a stand in for reparations annuities during talks on revised debt pacts with the United States. Foreign Minister Baron Von Neurath relayed the negative reply to Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald after consultations in Berlin. One third would help fund European reconstruction, the rest under safeguard would keep Germany liable if the US refuses to cut debts. Ramsay MacDonald urged acceptance saying Americans would be generous.
