Presents information on an agreement signed by the U.S. government with its former war associates regarding the reparations obtained from Germany under the Dawes plan. View that the new contract is chiefly a recognition by the Allies that the American government surrendered none of its rights in a settlement with Germany through its failure to ratify the Versailles Treaty; Fact that under the Paris agreement the U.S. will share to a certain extent in the benefit of any reparations which may be extracted from Germany; Opinion of the English newspapers on the agreement signed by the American government; Report that in the event of default by Germany it would share with its associates the responsibility for any action which they might take in order to collect their claims; Assumption of the U.S. regarding a partnership with unlimited liability for the successful operation of such a profoundly doubtful experiment as the Dawes plan; Effect of the failure of the agreement on the future policy of the American government; Discussion of the question that whether the U.S. should or should not participate in Europe in business and politics; Description of the Dawes plan that was intended to bring about the evacuation of the Ruhr, Germany and to restore the possibility of economic activity in Germany.
