...standard annual payment under the Dawes Plan is 595 millions. The Young Plan reduces this to $487,600,000.

The figures represent a triumph for the German stand that is best appreciated by comparing the $8,800,000,000 new decided upon as the total due with the $21,000,000,000 that was fixed at the London conference of 1921.
