FRANCO-GERMAN PACT, OF COASTMAY UNITE
Months of Negotiations Expect-'Consolidation of Fir Concerns
ed Before Final Agree
ment Takes Form.
Berlin. The Franco-German entent
la on the march. Tola la assured fol
lowing the approval of the now hle
toric aaxeemont bttwtn Brland and
Streseniann at Tholry by the govern
menta ot both Germany and Franc.
With the unanimoua approval ot the
German cabinet Proaident Hlndenburg
thanked Forelfm Minister Streaemann
In a notably warmer endorsement ot
the agreement than the somewhat
hesitant endorsement of the French
cabinet. It now will take months of
weary negotiations by commissions
and experts from both countries, as
well aa with Reparations Agent Gil
bert and American bankers, tor the
necessary foundation for the final
agreement.
France wants Germany to put up aa
amount approximating a billion gold
francs to stabilise the franc In return
for evacuation of the Rhineland, the
return ot the Saar Basin and -other
political concessions. Germany pro
bably will try to raise the money la
the world markets and from the sale
ot five per cent rail bonds.
The German press already la begin
In g to appeal to America to help the
project aa the best means for pacify
ing Europe. The success of the pro
ject, it is held, would mean the final
settlement of all the vexing problems
left by the war between France and
Germany. '
Once the project la accomplished
there are high hopes It will form the
foundation for far-reaching political
consequences, ending possibly In a
Franco-German alliance for the revi
sion and perhaps the abolition of the
Dawes plan.
