An

yesterday
to
be
imminent
at
the
war
debts
and

conference
here
after
Germany

declaring
that
she
would
demand
a
complete
revision
of
the
Treaty
of
Versailles
before
entering
into
any
undertaking
for
payment
of
reparations
at
some

date.
On
the

France
expressed
willingness
to
negotiate
with
Germany
for

of

if
