GERMAN REPARATIONS
REPORTED SECRET ALLIED AGREEMENT
NEW YORK, July 21
The Washington correspondent of the "New York Herald Tribune" says that Messrs. Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt reached a secret agreement at Yalta last February requiring Germany to pay 20,000 million dollars in reparations in five years, Russia to receive half, Britain 4000 millions, and the United States 4000 millions, and the remainder to be divided among the minor German victims in Europe. Stalin is reported to have said, in effect: "If you leave the situation to me, I will get 30,000 million dollars out of them." Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill demurred, presumably after hearing expert advice on the amount Germany, could pay. The British and American leaders also wanted to make the term of payment 20 years. Stalin got his way on the term and Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill on the amount.
