By LUDWELL DENNY Scripps-Howard Staff Writer MOSCOW, March 31.—Possibilities of a reparations compromise are being explored at a lower level today as the Big Four foreign ministers maintain their formal deadlock. ' So far, thése feelers do not reflect .a spirit a spirit of positive

oonciliation on either side. Rather, they are an attempt usually delayed by Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov until the last days of a conference, Whether a major agreement on German reparations will be reached here is still doubtful. The present deadlock results from the following: Russia proposes $20 billion over & 20-year-period, with half going to herself (which she will share

on some indétermiate basis with Poland). She wants huge amount for three sources—capital equipment, labor, and goods from future current production. The Americans and British op-

pose the amount as too large and the period as too long. Also they object to payments from current production. The Americans further oppose the use of labor on the reparations account, except in the case of criminal sentences.

Numerous Factors Involved The position of the U. 8. and

the necessary increase in German industrial capacity, provided, ONE: Priority would be given to exports in exchange for imports of food and raw materials to make Germany self-supporting on a maderate living standard. This probably would take two or three years. TWO: Surplus, when it began to accrue, would be applied to repay subsidies which the Brifish and Americans pour into western Germany in the form of food and raw materials. This probably would take another two or three years. THREE: When Germany was in a position to pay reparations from her own surplus production, Russia and the others could take a moderate amount for a fair period. It is estimated that Germany economy under such ‘conditions might produce an annual exportable surplus of $1 billion for as long as five years. ; oF If s0, Russia might get a total of $2% billion.

Moreover, i would be impossible to revive Germany to the point of

their while, because Mr. will not permit the economic unification of Germany unless the British and Americans make concessions. Economic unity is highly desirable to the Americans and British as the best—perhaps only —basis for an orderly self-support-ing democratic and peaceful Germany, | Compromise Possible Such a compromise could take the following form: The western powers might agree to a reasonable amount of reparations from current production and
