Text on Allied Reply to German Proposals Shows Progress
Reported progress tonight on the Allied response to German counter proposals. The reply may be ready for delivery by Friday with a five day limit for final action, potentially by June 18. Reparation terms were settled in principle, with the amount to be fixed within four months of treaty signing. The changes clarify but do not alter terms, addressing concerns of vexatious financial controls. Final action on Germany’s admission to the league remains undecided as discussions move toward a record. The Silesian issue is nearly settled. Wilson’s return is indefinite as no Brussels trip plans are made yet.
