<P> To simultaneously defuse this situation and increase the chances of Germany resuming reparation payments , the Allied Reparations Commission asked Dawes to find a solution fast . The Dawes committee , which was urged into action by Britain and the United States , consisted of ten informal expert representatives , two each from Belgium ( Baron Maurice Houtart , Emile Francqui ) , France ( Jean Parmentier , Edgard Allix ) , Britain ( Sir Josiah C. Stamp , Sir Robert M. Kindersley ) , Italy ( Alberto Pirelli , Federico Flora ) , and the United States ( Dawes and Owen D. Young , who were appointed by Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover ) . It was entrusted with finding a solution for the collection of the German reparations debt , which was determined to be 132 billion gold marks , as well as declaring that America would provide loans to the Germans , in order that they could make reparations payments to the United States , Britain and France . </P>
