Germany Will Aid France to Revise Financial System
Briand and Stresssemman
Agree Upon Essentials;
Approachment
Under Way
10. 2.2.1.1.1.1.1
Berlin, Germany, Sept. 13.—Ger-
man has agreed to help France in its
financial distress, according to a
report by the French press.
Press today from the private convers-
ations between Briand and Stresse-
mann. Much of the case would come
from an agreement.
The program agreed upon was:
1. Three hundred million dollars worth of German railroad bonds will be issued to the embassy enshrining France to obtain cash from her capitalized liabilities and to relieve her immediate financial distress.
2. French occupation of the Rhinemaes reduced from 82,000 men to 38,000 men.
3. In accordance with the Versailles treaty, Germany would be permitted to purchase the Saar valley coal mines for $50,000,000.
4. Inter-allied military control in Germany would be diminished.
b. Consideration would be given a German proposal for the return of the Eupen and Malmelya area now possessed by Belgium in exchange for German financial concessions to Belgium.
Such a program probably would encounter manifold obstacles here. The German nationalists today were preoccupied with the battle against Stressman's scheme.
Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 19.
France and Germany through their foreign ministers have found a basis for collaboration in the settlement of a new framework that is routinely informed today. In exchange for commercial and industrial concessions by Germany, France will gradually evacuate the Rhineland and gradually release the various guaran-
tite agreements and the treasury treaty and of the Dawes plan.
The agreement was reached at a session yesterday at which Briand and Stressmann discussed the problems of their countries. It was recognized that Briand would encounter considerable difficulty in obtaining the appraisal of the Poincare cabin for his commission. The government's present ministers supported the policy of Ruhr occupation and still oppose conciliation.
