Juno 12 CAP) Fast breaking develop ments here and abroad Illuminat ing the strong. if unofficial tie which binds reparations and war debt discussions, recall events which hare shaped the two since the war. . . The world's financial Indiges tion has caused a reduction In original estimates of both, al though the debts have been fixed since the commission appointed to negotiate them ended Its work in 197. Since then, however, the Toung plan has succeeded) the , Dawes plan tor German reparations pay ments. - Financial experts sighed with relief after the myriad dis agreements attending such a con ference were finally reconciled In 1930. The United States was repre sented unofficially but the agree ment took its name from one of the American delegates. Owen D. Toung, J. P. Morgan, T. W. Lf mont and TV N. . Perkins took Teadin'g part )n Ita formulation. 1924,x left the period of repara tions payments indefinite. They rose under a sliding scale to more than a half billion dollars in 1929 "30. By comparison the Young plan substantially reduced the sum due yearly from Germany for the first years v of the arrangement. It fixed the definite period of 68 years for payments and it lowered the estimated total from " 332,- 000,000.000 to about 327,000. 000.000. Everybody seemed satisfied and It was believed another era of swelling bank accounts and smok ing factory chimneys was just ahead. . . Germany's economic illness has become alarming since. In addi tion to the reparations burden, she . has borrowed heavily from foreign countries. Most of that indebtedness is short term. ' The total private Investment of foreigners In Germany has been estimated at 35.000.000,000. Her own investments abroad are small in comparison. She has millions i of unemployed. - Another gloomy ' factor is the decline In commodity values and the corresponding rise in the value of money. Germany's recent' cry that her burden Is intolerable has result ; ed In a flurry of conferences and 'President Hoover has. announced i that steps are being considered to help her. In Germany and . elsewhere abroad that arouses the hope or fear as the case may be, that there will be another : scaling down of reparations. Immediately war debts take their place fn the scop of speculation. They are linked in the same way as the family budget and the family sal ary. . -. . in'i IS TORONTO.
