Berlin, Wednesday: The Anglo-German negotiations on Germany’s overdue debts for imports of coal, textiles, and other raw materials and unfinished goods, opened to-day at the Ministry of Economics. Sir Frederick Leith Ross, Chief Economic Adviser to the British Government, Mr. T. Q. Hill, of the Board of Trade, and Mr. H. G. S. Pinsent, Financial Counsellor to the British Embassy, represents Great Britain. Dr. Schacht, President of the Reichsbank and Acting Minister of Economics, is the principal German negotiator. German economic writers are alarmed at the various estimates of Germany’s foreign indebtedness, which, they say, “have a tendency to grow from day to day.” They appeal to the “business instincts of the British” by placing in the foreground the necessity of continuity of trade. They also lay stress on Dr. Schacht’s recent currency regulation guaranteeing payment to British exporters for future deliveries. The newspapers are confident that a way will be found in Berlin for settling the question of the old debts, and they expect from the British delegation useful proposals to this end. — Reuter.

Germany “Must Pay at Once”: Debt Demand by British Interests: … … In Berlin:  There is no doubt, however, that Sir Frederick (Leith Ross) was much impressed by the force of the arguments put forward by both Bradford and Manchester, and it Is believed that they will play an important part in the trade talks. Sir Frederick will begin his negotiations on Wednesday, and it is expected that he will remain In Berlin for a week or 10 days. Mr. H. G. S. Pinsent, financial adviser to the British Embassy in Berlin will also take part in the discussions. It is estimated that German merchants owe British exporters nearly £2,000,000 these debts being outstanding because of the foreign-currency restrictions imposed by the German Government. Even the exchange agreement designed to facilitate transfers has worked unsatisfactorily. Further difficulties have been added by Dr. Schacht’s announcement that after next Monday all German imports will come under restrictive management in 25 control offices. Effect of Control … …
