COMPLICATIONS ARISE
OVER U. S. RELATIONS
Difficulty Encountered in As
sessing Pre-war Debts
of Nations '
PARIS. March 26. (By The As
sociated Press) Technical experts
of the .American peace delegation in
consultation with experts of other
delegations, have been considering
a posible tmethod for carrying ouf
project brought forward yesterday
to include all four enemy powers In
one peace treaty.
The fact that the United State
was never at war with Turkey and
Bulgaria complicates the matter but
the opinion of the American experts
is to the effect that this is not in
surmountable and that it is feasible
for the United States. to sign such
a quadruple treaty 'with an explan
atory statement that the United
States accepts only such portions of
the treaty as directly affect It.
Preparatory to the execution of
the plan without delay in case it
should be adopted. , the commission
on reparations and boundaries are
to reduce to form as quickly as pos
sible all data they have collected
bearing on the financial and econom
ic ability of Turkey and Bulgaria
and what remains of Austria-Hungary
to meet the charges they must
pay as well as the new boundaries
they must accept in order to recog
nize the right of self determination.
The problem is rendered difficult
by reason of the necessity of assess
ing fairly the share of the pre-war
debts of the three nations which
must be assumed by the separated
provinces and this is receiving cars
ful study by experts.

terms are not drarted until sucb
time as the various commisisons
shall have finished their tabors and
have presented their respective re
ports, the representatives' of the
great powers have drawn up certain
proposals which seem ample to con
stitute the basis of the first treaty,
or one analogous to the one signed
at Versailles In 1871."
The correspondent adds that thes
proposals are under consideration of
the Jnner council of four. President
Wilson, and Premiers Clemenceau.
Lloyd George and Orlando, which
has temporarily superceded the coun

provide for an edurlng peacV, Justi
fy in large measure early demobili

pnoblem and pave the way for speed
industrial reconstruction and finan

"The principal alms of the pro
posals now before the'inner council
are: (l)-To insure ample security
for the future protection of France,
especially on her eastern frontier:
(2) To establish a strong Italy, with
a formidable northern barrjer
against agression: 3 ) To create
