Reparations Terms to Be Presented in Supplementary Agreement
Allied experts expect a supplementary agreement to define the Reparations Commission procedures and instructions, avoiding a fixed total reparations sum. The plan would set categories with fixed figures per ton for ships and other duties, while delaying the overall amount. Debate includes avoiding a set total, with France wary of public reaction and Germany unable to pay a large sum. The process may push Austrian treaty changes and continues to raise questions about penalties and colonial disposition. British correspondents probe why early dispatches on Council of Four changes were delayed.
