The International poker game in Paris, with German reparations as the stakes, came near breaking up on April 18 when Hjalmar Schacht, Berlin's chief representative, was understood to demand a new deal as the price of continuing to play. The representatives of the Allies seem to have exaggerated what they conceived as Schacht's political demands. The text has not been made public, and probably Schacht's diplomacy was at fault, but it has been explained in Berlin that the allusions to colonies and East Prussia were intended primarily to emphasize the economic limitations of Germany under the Treaty of Versailles.
