British Plan Aims to Settle Reparations With France
London dispatch reports Premier Bonar Law expects to win French approval at the Paris conference for a final reparations settlement. The plan purportedly fixes Germany's total obligations at about one third of Versailles figures and seeks a fair trial under the new scheme, with coercive options if needed. A German counterproposal suggests a mortgage on up to 20 percent of national wealth via income tax, seeking abrogation of Versailles clauses hindering German commerce.
