COMPROMISE ON GERMAN
REPARATIONS IS POSSIBLE
Paris, Aug. 18. A compromise
ettlement on the German reparations
roblem acceptable both to Fra
,nd Great Britain was regarded
probable by reparations commission
officials last night following a i
given over to conversations and
informal new plans for meeting
the French position were discussed.
The details of these plans were with
held, but it was authoritatively stated
that the latest proposals would yield
re cash than the measures pi
bed by Raymond Poincare, the
French Premier, at the recent
don conference.
Everything possible is being done
by both the French and British
members of the reparations
mission to avoid a direct vote being
taken on the question of granting a
moratorium to Germany. The view
is held that such a vote would create
a breach between France and Great
Britain. The formal meeting of the
commission, which had been set for
yesterday and at which the mo
ratorium was to have been discussed
vas postponed hurriedly when it was
leen that real progress toward a
om promise was being made.
It i* said the commission will not
formally consider a moratorium for
Germany until some compromise plan
progressed for enough to reason
ably insure its adoption. So much
mcceess was achieved yesterday,
however, that it was indicated last
'night the commission might be in a
I position to consider a compromise at
