French Reply to Dr Luther on German Credit Talks
Paris and Berlin news wires report a cautious French reply to D H Luther regarding a possible settlement of four issues tied to Germany’s finances and war reparations. France seeks a freeze on reparation payments, no expansion of the 12 year budget period, a commercial treaty with France, and strict limits on Reichsbank credits. Britain and America would waive short term loan repayments until Germany can pay without strain. Berlin warns that pressing France or Britain could trigger a political setback for the Bruen cabinet. Resignation chatter around Regent von Bismarck could delay proposals.
