France and Germany have had no economic relations since midnight

Mr. Trendelenburg is expected this afternoon by our Minister of Commerce

JANUARY 10. A new economic regime has been in place since midnight between France and Germany. Or, more precisely, since midnight, there has been no regime at all. Both countries are free to impose whatever customs tariffs they deem fit. It is understandable that a certain emotion has taken hold of French traders and industrialists, and in particular those who do a large turnover with Germany.N head of
The head of the German economic delegation, expected yesterday evening in Paris at six o'clock, that is to say early enough for negotiations to still be able to succeed, delayed his trip and did not arrive until this morning at 11 o'clock. The conversation taking place this afternoon between Mr. Trendelenburg and our Minister of Commerce is therefore decisive.
At noon it was still not known whether the head of the German delegation would bring back conciliatory instructions or acceptable counter-proposals.

Financial conference. Today and tomorrow, special conversations on the various questions of the program: Ruhr accounts, Belgian priority, America's participation in war damages and also on questions not on the program. Transactional formulas are being sought.
