World conference seeks quick action on German relief plan
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald led talks in London where seven powers backed a set of Hoover proposals. The plan extends German credit for three months, urges private banks to keep German credits, and forms a world bank committee to study short and long term loans. Bruening and Curtin discussed a possible long term loan with American and British participation, while Laval warned France against imitating Hoover’s credits. The Hague heard the Austrian case on a German Austrian customs union as Austria shifts its stance amid financial strain.
