The Committee of Experts upon Reparations have got to work
in- Paris. Its proceedings are private, and we can only wish success to their inquiries and deliberations. They IiitW done the obviously right thing in making Mr. Owen Young chairman. Although the British delol gates might almost be called impartial, because our posi- tion is fixed by Lord Balfour's famous note, yet it was plainly desirable that an American should preside, and Mr. Young, by his work on the DitweS Committee and afterwards in Berlin, fully proved . his personal, fitness to lead.. Among his colleagues, Sir 'Josiah Stamp, M. Parmentier, M. Francqui and Herr Dr. Schacht - know this well; The fact that the chief men on this, Committee have worked together, and produced good results before now gives us great confidence'in them. They themselve have only to read the reports 'of Mr: . Parker GilbeA, the Agent-General in Berlin, to gather Confidence for a further advance towards final settlement.'
