i 5 Jen Years of Controversy Over German Payments Ends In Compromise "reading's representative store 89c THIRD FLOOR C. K. WHITNER CO. TO SIGN REPARATION THURSDAY PARIS, June 4 () Ten years of controversy over the payment by German reparations for damages caused during the World War to allies ended today in a compromise which was due largely to the patient and skillful mediation of. American delegates to the reparations conference.

The agreement will be isigned Thursday, it is believed. From a formidable total of $125,000 000,000 claimed in the original allied demands filed with the peace conference at Versailles in 1919, the new settlement agreed upon today scales down what Germany must pay to approximately $9,000,000,000. This sum is between a third and a fourth of the $33,000,000,000 fixed by the reparations commission in 1923. Locarno Brought Cut Th enormous reduction in the amount to be paid the reparations creditors of Germany represents changes in sentiment and evolution in ideas rcsrardine financial and eco nomic possibilities that have taken place since Wilson, Clemenceau, bioya George and others signed the treaty of Versailles. The reduction is almost a direct consequence of the celebrated Locarno pact, signed in 1925, which set going the idea or conciliation oetween me former enemies of the World War.

Out of the final settlement, the tfiirnnean associates of the United States in the war will get enough from Germany to pay their war aeots to the United States with a portion pf their outlay for reconstruction. France, who is the biggest repara tions creditor and the biggest war debtor, will receive enough to pay both Great Britain and the United States, with about a quarter of her outlay for the reconstruction of her devastated regions and for pensions. The final settlement cannot be said lo have satisfied everybody. French Main Losers The French consider themselves Josers by a big margin, if receipts are considered in comparison with out Jay. But they, along with everybody rise, are apparently ready to accept the decision as the best likely ever to be carried out.

It is recognized that Germany's capacity to transfer money is far below the original allied claims, while the German deliveries in kind are proving a sort of economic boomerang which threatens the industrial 'prosperity of the creditor countries. It is now hoped that the report may be read for signatures by Thursday. In any case, all the members of the American delegation are sailing Saturday on the Cunard liner Aquitania, so that the report must be signed Friday at the latest. The report will clean up everything that the experts were able to (settle. Several questions, however, must be left to the various governments, such as the, choice of a site for the new "bank for international settlements." Acceptance by the Belgians today of the procedure proposed by the Germans for settlement of the question of redemption of worthless German marks left in Belgium may turn sentiment favor of Brussels as the site.
