widening breach that threatened to
break up the conference. it being vir-
tually expended except for private con-
ference. French circles give the Bel
gian delegation credit for the success in
reconciling the British and French
viewpoints.
The project in its final form. when
approved by the supreme council will
be submitted to Germany for accept
ance as an agreement outside Of Article
2s3 Of the peace treaty. which entrusts
the reparations commission with the
task OF fixing the amount of the in
demnity. Then another conference will
be called to which the Germans will be
invited.
The committee of experts was in ses-
sion at midnight considering the ques-
ton of shortening the period of the
payments to years. which the treaty
of Versailles specifically provides, But
1t is expected that the period of AZ years
finally will be adopted as the whole
agreement is outside the treaty and the
longer period Of payments will make
the task easier for Germany.
