Allies Accept German Terms Conditionally
Paris reports Allied reparations experts have conditionally accepted most German terms led by Dr Hjalmar Schacht. Two sticking points remain for decisive talks as the German delegation reviews views, with a delivery of a formal note and reservations expected tomorrow morning. An American offer for a substantial annuity reduction sparks new optimism in Paris. The proposal aims for about 10 percent less in U.S. payments and Rhineland occupation costs, roughly 1.19 million dollars yearly for 37 years, a small share of total reparations.
