 LIN PREPARATIONS NEXT SATURDAY
Republican A. p. Leased WIreJ


 LYMPNE, April 24.-It is learned authoritaively that no advance on the Ruhr will be made until after a definite decision and approval by the supreme council. Premiers Lloyd George and Rriand regard Germany's note concerning her willingness to undertake reconstruction of the dew astated regions as a distinct conces- sion, satisfactory ar far as it goes.
 M. Briand recalls, however. that France has repeatedly applied to Germany for certain materials for the work of restoration. without getting an answer.
 Premier Lloyd George told the cor respondent tonight that the weekend conference with M Briand only took the form of informal conversations and never was intended to formulate any conclusions. This would be Nn- fair, he said, until the ministers had consulted their cabinets and the allies whose representatives meet in su- preme council on Saturday next.
 The French plan to be put in oper- atiou 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 satis- factory proposals, it would be neces- sary for the supreme council to de- eide what action should be taken
 Undoubtedly this would indicate the occupation of Ruhr.
 He could not say whether the Brit ish would send a force until the ex- perts were consulted.
 Great Britain, continued the prime minister, did not desire to impose the impossible on Germany. but was con- vinced that Germany could pay what was demanded by the Paris terms.
 There was no objection. said the premier. to notes being forwarded through Washington.
 Indeed Great Britain would be glad if America could offer any assistance he said. America took no responsi- bility In forwarding notes.
 The two premiers have a few more points to discuss but will certainly conclude their conversations during the night and return to their respec- tive capitals tomorrow.
 The allied governments i'll be in- vited to send representatives to a meeting of the supreme council next Saturday to consider the German pro- posals. if they are received in the meantime. and to determine upon inn mediate collective .action should the German proposals be unacceptable This was decided upon by Prerniers Lloyd George and Briand today
 If the British coal strike is ended the supreme council will meet in Paris; if the strike is not ended, il will meet in London.
 The United States government will not be invited to attend, as it not a signatory to the treaty of Versailles under which the supreme council meets, hut both premiers would well come the presence of American del egates.
 They consider it unfortunate that the German government should not have sent a copy of it's latest pro- posals to them, so that they might have begun an examination at this meeting.
 The conversations between the premiers have turned upon the French project of occupation and economic control of more of the Rhenish Westphslian region. Both premiers are quite agreed that the Ruhr coal fields must be occupied if Germany continued to default in payments already due, or coming due May 1. and in case of failure to ac- cept with satisfactory guarantees. the terms of the document signed at Par is January 29 by the allied govern mentS.
