presiding over the deliberations, knowing
Ehat ii was intended for Belgium rather
than for himself.
Edwin II. Terrelrs speech was
awaited with keen interest as it was ex.
pecte6 to contain some hints as to the
course to be pursued by the American
commissioners. 1t was, however, a
purely formal recognition of welcome on
behalf of the American delegation.
Several delegates requested the Ameri.
can representatives to give the details of
Sheir plan, as the wording of the invita-,
ton to the conference had been toe
vague to convey any clear idea of its
cpnorete object. This the Americans de
clined to do, but they promised to sub
init their proposals one hour before the
next session, After arranging the de
tails of the procedure the conference ad
5ourned until Friday.
The conference will sit three days il
ZACH week.
Austria and Germany VIII Obstruct
There is no doubt that the English
German and Austrian delegates viii
follow dog-in- the -manger policy. Sc
far as can be ascertained none of then
has como with the idea of making
Serious proposal for the rehabilitation o
silver. and they will assume a purely
negative attitude toward any such pro
posal coming from the United States o.
France. The Austrian government doe!
not care to burden itself with any NOR,
conditions as to its currency, while il
the midst of its currency reform and the
concurrent coinage of new money.
Germany would under no circum
stances tolerate anything like even
partial abandonment of recommendation
not only because the whole academic
sentiment of the country seems to b
egainst it, but also because such cours
would benefit France. In both Austrit
and Germany the illusions of the pres
10 the conference are almost without ex
eeption to the effect that it represent
the efforts of the silver producing state
In America to enhance their product a
the expense of the rest of the world
Every observer of the Austrian and Ger
man delegates in the conference coul,
remark their opposition; in fact, the
were the ones responsible for the reques
that the American delegates should shoy
their hand at once. They, together wit
the English delegates, will he theleader
Of every effort to render futile any wor
ntteDDied by the United States or mem
bers OF the Latin union.
