Germany Won't Discuss Paris Indemnity Terms Says Official
A German Foreign Office official in Berlin on January 30 told The Tribune that Germany will refuse to agree to the Paris reparations plan and will not send a representative to London to discuss it with the Allied Supreme Council. He called the Allies’ figures fantastical and warned that occupation of the Ruhr would ruin Germany, while noting Germany could only meet indemnities by producing and selling goods. The official cited Berlin Tageblatt describing the Paris decisions as opium intoxication and insisted German unity would prevent any government from accepting them.
