Allied leaders fail to agree on German reparations in Paris
At a Paris session last week premiers of the Allied nations failed to reach a common plan for German reparations. Britain and France clashed over terms, with Bonar Law demanding a lighter bill and Premier Poincare insisting on a fixed large sum. Britain’s plan called for a 12.56 billion dollar target and a four year moratorium, while France proposed 33 billion with continued material payments and occupation of Ruhr area. Italy and Belgium leaned toward France. The conference dissolved, leaving France to act independently.
