France today was credited with the intention of claiming the bil- lion marks (about $2,5600,000,000) of an immediate payment which Germany is expected to make, Bel- gium, it is stated, will ask reim- bursement of six billion marks, for allegedly worthless forged German currency which the Ger- man invaders left behind, Great Britain claims in the first payment are expected to total about four billion marks (about $1,000,000,000.) It is understood thas Great Britain will claim that previous agreements do not apply to the claims of the Dominion and that she expects further to be re- imburséed mow. for what has al- ready been paid the United States on the war debt account. An effort is being made to ar- rive at some understanding re- garding the amount and number of the annuities before Thursday when Dr, Hjalmar Schacht leaves for Berlin to attend a meeting of the directors of the Reichsbank.
