Premier Herriot of France has agreed to give the Ger- mans a measure of satisfaction in regard to their demand for the elimination of the war guilt clause of the Treaty of Versailles, it was understood. True the accord will not cover as wide a field as the , Germans contemplated but it goes a long way toward fixing up the European financial muddle. Fhe conference-wit prebably-wind up with a plenary session tomorrow at which the draft agreement will be signed, The agreement provides for German payment of a nominal three billion marks or about $750,000,000, which will replace the reparations annuities. The agreement wipes out the German reparations an- nuities. In place of the annuities, which would have run for another 5 years at a total of roughly twenty-five bil- lion dollars, Germany will issue bonds to the amount of $750,000,000 when her credit position permits and in any event not for three years. The German payment of her final liability will be under the figure mentioned because the bonds will be issued at 90. If it is not considered advisable to issue them within 15 years, then the whole issue will be cancelled. The sink- ing fund is fixed at one percent. ' The “war guilt” difficulty was overcome by a phrase | | in the draft which vaguely refers to closing the doors on | the past. The reparations debt was originally capitalized at sixty-four billion dollars but has been successively scaled down to the present figure. The next step is a revision of the debt agreement with the United States. made in the transconti passenger service f the National Railways where yp-over at Winnipeg was ‘ i I i ‘ be | { eal, T' and otl Canada p in mast has led nan re i being i n olf the l } ake the Compa » il ne followl i was i at Ca lian headqual ‘onve n of resulting n the pre emen etted bu mfidently bel that the] provia I grea nience to by fur the great tion of the people travelling hese trains.
