Conference of Premiers
Takes Up Question Of
Splitting q Per Cent

July o. 10y
The Canadian Press.)-The
conference of prime ministers
yesterday grappled with the
problem of PREPARATIONS. Un-
der the decision reached by
the supreme allied council. the en-
pire receives % per cent Of whatever
Germany pays. SIS per cent goire to
France and the balance TO Belgium
and Italy and the other allied nations.
Tbe task now confronting the con.
.Erence is TO fix a basis upon which
the amount to be collected by the I'm
pire shall be a~pportioned among it's
different parts.
This, 1t IL found. involves no little
difficulty. because a basis that might
work advantageousiy for one might
prove unfair to another. Thus. for
example, OF loss to shipping wer.. TO

would get practically everything, AMI
the dominions practically nothing.
Capital investment in pensions has
been suggested as a guide. but mas
much as the pension scales in the
various dominions differ to a con
siderable degree. as well rs the rca-
sons for the payment of pensions. this
too had TO be abandoned
The subject vas discussed from
every possible angle today. the repre-
sentatives of all the dominions making
suggestions and each, advocating a
system calculated to bring the larg-
est amount to this respective country.
No decision was reached. but It is
understood that 1t is not improbable
that the amounts will be determined
by expenditure and the number OF
casualties.

that nothing could be done until the
water receded normally.
Unless heavy rains occur within
