ALLIES. PREPARING
TO INVADE GERMANY
ADJOURN CONFERENCE UNTIL
NEXT SATURDAY-DRA
MEASURES CERTAIN.

1
Lympne, England-The allied and
associated governments will be in
vlted to send representatives to a
meeting of the supreme council next
Saturday to consider the German pro-
posals it they are received in the
meantime, and to determine upon i'm
mediate collective action should the
German proposals be unacceptable.
This was decided upon by Premiers
Lloyd George and BRAND today.
! If the British coal strike is ended
the supreme council will meet in
Paris; if the strike is not ended, it
will NEE in London.
The United States government will
not be invited to attend, as it is not
signatory. to the treaty Of Versailles
under which the supreme council
meets, but both premiers would well
come the presence of American dele
gates.
They consider it unfortunate that
the German government should not
have sent a copy of it's latest propos-
ais to them so that they might have
begun an examination at this meet
ing.
The conversations between the pre-
miers have turned upon the French
project of occupation and economic
control of more of the Rhennish
Westphalian region. Both premiers
are quite agreed that the Ruhr coal
fields must be occupied if Germany
continued to default in payments al
ready due, or coming due May 1, and
in case of failure to accept, with sat-
isfactory guarantees, the terms of
the document signed at Paris, Janu-
ary 20 by the allied governments.
Lloyd George Statement
Premier Lloyd George told the cor
tonight that the week !
end conference with M. BRAND only
took the form Of informal consider
ations and never was intended to for
mulate any conclusions This would
be unfair, he said, until the ministers
had consulted their cabinets and the
allies, whose representatives meet in,
supreme council on Saturday next.
The French plan to be put in oper
alton against Germany should Ger
many fail to comply with the treaty :
of Versailles was not complete, he
explained, and if before Saturday
Germany did not put forward salts
factory proposals it would be for the
council to decide what action
should be taken. Undoubtedly this
would Indicate the occupation of the
Ruhr.
He could not say whether the Brit
sh could send force until the ex-
oerts were consulted.
Great Britain, continued the prime
did not desire to impose the
impossible on Germany, but was con-
yinced that Germany could pay what
vas demanded by the Paris terms.
There was no objection, said the
to notes being forwarded
through Washington Indeed, Great
Britain would be glad if America
ould be of any assistance. America
ook no responsibility in forwarding !

The two premiers have few more I
,oints to discuss, but will certainly !
onclude their conversations during !
he night and return to their respect .
