ors who n year ago began to outstrip
Great Britain in furnishing fuel TO
Italy. Egypt and Portugal, in the near

owing to the rehabilitation of the
French coal mines and the influx in
demnity from Germany, according to
Alfred r. Dennis. commercial attachc
to tho American embassy here.
The showing up of French industries
Mr.. Dennis said today. has created a
surplus of coal from which the French

Under present conditions. the
worlds coal trade is visibly changing

CONFERENCE WITH ALLIES
ON memo FROM GERMANY
United States Will Be Guided in Answer by Allied
Decision As to Feasibility Of New
Proposals

Washington, n. C.. April 2s-(By
The, Associated Press)--Events here
today indicated clearly that the United
States in replying TO Germanys
counter proposals on reparations would
be guided almost il not wholly by the
decisions of the allied governments as
to whether the new reparations put
forward by Berlin were of such a
nature as to form the basis for further
negotiations
Secretary Hughes conferred late to-
day with each Of tho allied diploma tic
representatives, discussing with them
briefly the German communication
which was received early in the DAY
from American Commissioner Dresel
at Berlin. The foreign ENJOYS immed
lately reported to their governments
by cable and it was understood that
the framing of a. reply to Germany
would await the outcome of these ex-
changes.
As the allied governments were be-
lieved to be in possession of the text
of the German proposals which was
made public today at Berlin. it was
not thought that reply would be long
delayed. 1t was suggested. however
that exchanges between Paris and
london might be necessary before a
hnal decision was reached. If Secre-
tary Hughes received from the for
elgn diplomats any indication of the
views of their governments with re-
gard to the. counter propositions the
fact was not disclosed, nor was there
any intimation as to how American
government officials viewed them.
There was some evidence, however,
that the statement contained in press
dispatches from Paris that the German
offer was believed to be unacceptable
to France. caused little. il any, sur
prise
Discussion of the German memoir
andum is understood to have occupied
much of the two hours session today
of President HardinE's cabinet. What
| happened in the cabinet room, how
ever. remained carefully guarded
secret.
The text is withheld by the depart
| ment for the present, at least, is un-
derstood that the summary as given
in press dispatches today from Ber-
| lin corresponds very closely to the text
as received here No official cxplana-
ton. of. the decision not to. make the
memorandum public was forthcoming.
but unofficially it was explained that
its publication at this time might
give rise to n suggestion that the
United States was endeavoring to in
huence public opinion aud thus place
herself in tho role OF guiding forcc
in the controversy.
