Concessions on Reparations Considered in Hoover Talks
Washington May 20 AP A suggestion grows that the United States may be asked to concede payments to ease the German reparations problem after President Hoover conferred with congressional leaders. Secretary Stimson said the White House session was to inform leaders about the reparations experts in Paris. Dawes Plan provisions show the United States receives 260 million to cover occupier costs and 2 14 percent of Germany receipts, with priority given to certain claims. The Paris 1925 agreement requires U S consent for any precedence of American charges over German reparations, fostering debate on possible revisions and a special Congress session.
