LONDON, Aug. 14.--The conference
,,Af the Allied premiers on German rep
erations broke down to-day, but the
Entente is not formally broken and
there is no immediate prospect of in
dependent French action in the Ruhr.
That is the official resume of the stu
alton as seen from the French as we'll
as the British side after final sitting
of the conference at which in the words
of Premier Lloyd George, of Great
Britain, the Allies agreed to disagree"
When this conclusion was reached,
Premier Poincare, OF France, declared
he would have to consider the new sit
uation with his government, but it is
conceded in French circles that Britain
is legally right in insisting under the
Versailles treaty that the question of
moratorium for Germany is strictly
enc for the Reparation Commission,
and that France is not legally entitled
under the present circumstances to
take independent action. Poincare's
plan is to call an immediate meeting
of the French legislative chambers to
consider the anfavorable position into
which ne has been jockeyed, according
to the French view.
Schanzer Effort Fails
The conference came to an end after
the failure of a final ATTEMPT by
Foreign Minister Schanzer, of Italy. to
bridge the gap between the French and
British viewpoints. When the del
egates met this morning Schanzer
proposed that discussion should be ad-
journed without prejudice until all
Allied funding operations with the
United States were carried out. Poin-
care agreed to this provided there was
no moratorium in the mean time and
throughout the subsequent discussion
refused to concede the moratorium
without fresh guarantees.
The full extent of the clash in views
was revealed when Lloyd George de-
clared the whole fact of the confer
ence was that Germany couldn't
pay now. The new guarantees proposed
by Poincare would not produce cash,
Lloyd George contended, and would
only complicate the situation. His view
was that Britain was compelled to
take a firm stand becauses<it wanted
TO lay down conditions by which Ger
many could raise an international loan
from which substantial reparation pay
ments would be available.
Lloyd George insisted that the Brit
ish stood by the Treaty Of Versailles,
under which the moratorium should be
left to the Reparation Commission,
proposing at the same time that
Britain waive claims of the Allied
debtors pending new conference in
the fall, the measures proposed by the
guarantees committee to apply in the
mean time.
With Poineare standing out against
the moratorium common policy
toward Germany was finally abandoned,
and when the plenary session of the
conference was held this evening
nothing could be salvaged from the
wreck of Allied unity except the agree
ment that the desperate financial stu
stion of Austria should be referred to
the League of Nations.

the conference to-day by Lloyd George
and me. were strongly supported by all the
ailled delegates except M. Poincare,
VINO explained that the position of his
country was that a moratorium could
NOT be granted without fresh cages"
al aho guarantees. 1t was understood that
tne expression cages meant liens.
Lloyd George, in declining to agree
TO an adjournment of the conference
Without moratorium, explained that
great Britain disapproved OF cages
ana guarantees, not out of tenderness
1or Germany, but because Great Brit
am was convinced guarantees would
defeat their own object.
Lloyd George added that the Allies
could not get coal out of German
mines-that must be done by German
money-and foreign management would
agement by the Germans. Regarding
the forests, the Premier declared it
was impossible for the Allies to deal
~~ith property belonging to a separate
herman state without adding enor-
,mously to the already difficult relations
between the central and state govern
!ments. He considered that any further
interference with any German economic
machine would react very seriously up
on the German nnliticai and financial
