FRANCE
AGREE
Procedure on German Reparations De
cided New Penalties Discussed.
London.—Great Britain and France
have reached an agreement on how to
deal with Germany to compel payment
of reparations and exact guarantees.
It has been agreed that the allies will
make a declaration, but not to Ger
many.
They will announce that the repara
tions commission will notify Germany
as to the amount she is required to
pay and how it is to be paid. The
allies will then announce that within
ten days, this period being subject to
possible modification by the supreme
council, they will proceed to carry out
the penalties, if the terms are not met.
The plan provides for supervision
and control of Germany's sources of
revenue It is not yet completed, but
while the experts are working on it,
France will proceed with all her mili
tary preparations to occupy the Ruhr.
This was the general result of an
agitated day of conversations and con
ferences. The agreement was brought
about by the intervention of the Bel
gian foreign minister, M. Jaspar, at
the supreme council Sunday afternoon.
The French premier asked for Brit
ish naval co-operation, suggesting the
blockade of Hamburg. The British
premier replied that American public
opinion would not approve such a
course and he could not agree.
M. Briand agreed to this point of
view. He added that the course of
the United States had been correct.
Uneasiness still exists among French
delegates over the possibility that
Washington may endeavor to mediate;
they declare this would not be ac
ceptable.
The French were not entirely satis
fied with the developments and the
idea of an ultimatum. M. Briand was
averse to delay and it was understood
he had undertaken that, failing Ger
many's compliance, some move should
be made at once.
