LONDON, Dec. "a eonferene,
which will have profound effect net
only on the European situation but on
Americas relations with Europe, will
open here Saturday. when Premier
Bonar Law meets Prcmiers Po.ncare Of
France and Mussolinl Of Italy and The
lnis OF Belgium 70 discuss the question
Of German repaTations. There Is little
OPTIMISM In any quarter on the eve a
this important gathering of Allied
statesmen, intended as preliminary
to the Brussels conference this month
A. the root OF the cntlre problem o.
the matter Of war debts. and there can
bc nothing beyond academic discussion
OF inter Allied cancellation until after
the British debt funding mission, led
by sydney Baldwin. has talked with
American authorities IN Warrington
next month.
Law Between Devil and Sea
Saturdays conference will result in
one Of two decisions. Either the Allies
will agree on a German loan which VIII
enable Germany 20 meet some Of its
obligations 90 France ard Belgium. or
the Poincaro goyernment will give
orders for the extension Of French oe-
cupation OF the Rhineland and the
seizure Of German mines and forests.
Whatever stand Bonar Law takes v
bound % weaken his position politi-
cally. The British government may be
willing to tear Up the Balfour note
and foreco al claims 20 o share IN tho
German reparations. II it should
gree alsO-which it not unlikelv-tC
cancel Frances war debts, the French
might demand America take the same
step.
There Is general feeling that
Poincare, who was put into the Pre-
miership 90 make Germany pa, and
TO strengthen France in the Near East
and who 20 far has failed 90 accom-
plish either objective, has now virtually y
decided on occupying the Ruhr. In
that case the conference here viii come
70 naught, for Britain Will stand alooi,
refusing any form Of cooperation. TX
p rte believe such move b. the french
would react disastrousiy and that the
French exchange would reflect quickly
n folly Of the plan.
L. 6. Opposed 20 Ruhr Advance
The first alternative offers the only
solution which the British regard with
any favor. II Germany will give her
state forests and mines es security
he British believe there would BE- COM
paratively little difficulty IN raising a
large loan here and IN America. II Is
rumored the United States governmt nj
has instructed Ambassador Harvey and
It's other Representatives In Europe 20
let Il be known Warrington would look
unfavorably upon French entry into
the Ruhr. II Britain and America
should find a basis for cooperation
he whole European situation would
change materially. The British seem
hopeful Of this possibility.

PARIS, Dec. 6.-Premier Poincare
will leave here Friday noon for the
premierS conference in London pre-
pared 20 resist any attempt 10 grant
Germany moratorium without pro-
ductive guarantees. Il appears here
that Britain will attempt 20 solve al
the problems at issue during the Ses-
sions and thereby supersede altogether
the Brussels conference, scheduled
later in the month. Poineare. however.
is determined TO prevent any diplo-
matte move TO cut out thSmceting in
the Belgian capital
II looks more and more from all in
dications here that France will be
forced 10 take drastic action against
Germany before long. but Poineare Is
trying 20 exhaust al other method
before resorting to force. lie is pre-
pared 70 wait until the ReparAtions
Commission officially declares Germany
in default before giving orders 20 take
possession OF its productive guar

Actually this commission has nothing
90 DO with the Affairs of the Berlin
government. but itl very presence with
a la-gc number Of Allied soldiers iu
Germany tends 10 make for bad rcla-
tlona.
The Germans have been guilty Of a
series OF disastrous blunders Their
treatment ~ the British and other Wis
itors has reacted strongly against
them. Instead Of dealing with foreign
nationals through diplomatic channels,
they have seen DO 20 levy taxes and
imposts. They have conducted, In re-
cent months, what amounts 10 n cru
sade' against foreigners, and this sys-
TEN OF pin-pTicks has alienated many
persons who ordinarily would like 70
resume relations
Despite these facts. The London
Tines" which perhaps Is the most
sympathetic organ the French have In
England, makes the following comment
regarding the reported intention of the
Po.ncnre government:
III Is possible that u the reports Of
the alleged intention OF France % have

ing her due are deliberately put out,
they may have been intended % en-
phasize In the eyes OF her allies the
urgency Of the Teparations problem. II
that Is their purpose, IL has not been
managed with much discretion. They
arc cminently calculated % defcat any
such end"
British Bitterness Gone
Most British bitterness toward the
"a l. p
age Briton has full appreciation Of the
feelings OF the French. and there are
many willing 20 admit both Great Brit
ain and America have treated France
rather shabby since the war. Ohiciais
here say the French policy has been
dictated largely by fear Of Germany,
but do not believe there IS any real
jLstihcation Tor it.
Had the o-Freaeh-Ameriean de-
fensivc treaty been ratified by the par
liamcnts Of the respective countries
the present situation could not have
arisen. btt to-day there Is not the re-
motest possibility Of such pact being
made, and consequently the Freneh
must adopt such measures as they
deem wise. In the British opinion
their present policy Is unwisc and IS
not calculated 10 bring the results ex-
pected, but no amount Of argument Us
likely TO change the minds OF the
French on this point.
Bcnar Laws government is not fet-
tered by the Bal.our note. Trade Is
expected 20 do what The diplomats
failed 20 accomplish. Competition may
improve relations and heal the wounds
left open By the war. Ordinarily, trade
works the other way around, but az the
present time most European countries

ADVERTISING SOME BANK

Why do not banks give more attention to the
paper they use? Every bank knows the import
ance of making good impression. No bank
erects building without considering howitwill
look.
But does any bank select paper for stationery
and checks with that idea in mind? Checks
especially are tokens of value, which stand for
money. They should be engraved on the best
paper obtainable, as bonds and stock certificates
are.
