a memorandum protesting against the
new coal demands of France to take

because they have no coal.
The German commissioner, Secre-
tary of State Bergman. has request
ed the French government to con-
sent to delay of week or ten
days in the negotiations until the

industry into panic, but the govern
mcnt Is doing what IL can to get
the factory owners and labor back
into a more optimistic frame OF
mind.

The gathering radistcd optimism

detailed review OF the uncertain A.
