ties when they make trade impossible.
1t Is certain, officials say. that the

France may have superfuous money for

have G serious bearing on the future Of

ference is considered the most impor-
tant since the treaty was signed.
Russia will figure in the discussions,

and also that the economic and indus
trial restoration of Germany is advisa-
BILE and necessary for both British trade
and French reparation claims. But the
French are inclined more to accord Ger
many every possible facility to make de-
liveries rather than agree to any reduc-
tlon in reparations
The British are expected to support
the proposal for the establishment of a
moratorium TO last perhaps for many
years, in connection with other steps

of the financial fabric.
British officials say that Mr.. Lloyd

vision of indemnities and debts or the
bankruptcy of Europe, and 1t is under

CRAIG INJECTS NEW
SNAG IN IRISH PEACE
Continued from First Page.

cording TO the Dublin correspondents
of the London papers. who say a test
vote showed u two-thirds majority, q
new difficulty has been thrown in the
path of Irish peace by the threat of
Sir James Craig. Premier of Ulster.
not TO appoint an Ulster member to the
boundary commission. 1t is stated that
he has refused to be a party to the
section of twelve which aims to provide
a solution of the bitter factional prob
lens with Tyrone and Fermanagh on
one side and Donegal and Monaghan on
the other.
This is one OF the most important
clauses in the agreement, q point which
took much time to solve and oneNwith-
out which the pact Is likely to be ineffec-
tive. so if Sir James remains obdurate
other means must be adopted
Sir James insists that he has been
"triclSed and deceived" and the loyalist
circles in Ulster threatened civil war
in case any territory is taken. The
Ulstermen fear they will be reduced
to four counties. which. they say, would
compel her to give UP the struggle of
standing aloof, because the Government
thus reduced would not be able to carry
on. On the other hand, if England did
yield to the Ulster outcry against the
boundary commission the treaty would
be broken in n vital particular.
Officials are aware that the boundary
difficulty will keep the Irish problem
70 the front for some time. even when
the south ratifies the treaty.

in the Burgenland plebiscite, due to the
fact that the Austrians at the last min
ute told their friends not to vote as a
protest against the high handed manner
which the Hungarians assumed in FIX
ing the date for the vote. The Austrian
Government. ii Is understood. will refuse
to accept the plebiscite decision. consid-
ering the Venice agreement void, and
will insist that the st. German treaty be
carried out
Czecho- -Slovakian relief for Austria
will probably consist Of granting credit
of 100000 Czech crowns for the pur-
chase of Czecho-Slovakian products
The assurance of Czecho-Slovakia that
she is anxious to help as much as pos
sible is taken as an indication that at
least this issus will be met by prompt
accord.
Dr. Michael Hainisch. President OF
Austria, when asked whether a political
agreement is likely to grow out OF this
relief move replied: 1--WE Austrians can
not make an active foreign policy. We
