REPARATION FIGURE LIKELY TO BE FIXED \ (By The Associated Press) BRUSSBLiS, Dec. 20.—The appro- ximate aimount Germany iWill have to pay in reparations seems likely to be developed at the' present conference here between the allied and German delegates. It apjpears to be agreed that the rejparations must be accepted chiefly in goods. The conservations between the alli- ed and Gerfean experts are proceed- ing so- satisfactorily that it is gener- ally believed the delegations will be able at no distant date to tell their G-overnfmfenta with same degree of deftnitenegs what Gemoany Is willing to do and also give to thean the high- «tft figure when they 'b.eileye eaoi be rom Germany vWthout a too grfeat depletion of the country's re- sources. * The secrecy of the experts concern ing the negotiations have been greatly Increased, for it is now generally Jad- ntitted that the facts thus far estab- lished shotw that it will be impossible to compel Germany to pay the im snonse relaxations expected from her, particularly those deumajitfed by thi French (people. The Gerpranst for their part, seelm conscious that a-ny- thuxg acceptable by the Allies will be considered too great by the Geiimah people. AH a consequence, it is sakt the de- sire now is to give all the Govern- ments a chance to educate their peo- ples to that state of mind where they will accept any necessary cotnpro- miise. The Germans are still working on the thirty-six questions submitted by the Allies. Their private -conserva- tions will continue tomorrow. The question as to what goods shall be delivered will be handled by M v Sey- doux of the French. .Foreign Office, and that of cash by Lord D'Abernoi of. Great Britain.
