BIZ RALPH II. TURNER

United NeicS Stdn Correspondent.
LONDON. Aug. 10.-Fear is ex-
pressed that the allied conference is
on the verge of collapse. The British
admit the situation is critical, and that
an agreement among the powers on
the reparations question seems hope
less.
The French are holding out for a
majority Of their original drastic de.
mands for supervision Of Germany's
internal financial administration and
for prompt clearing house payments
in satisfaction of private claims. The
British and the Italians, on the other
hand. are no more disposed to yield
on their moderate attitude. Belgian
offers to mediate have failed.
Premier Summons Cabinet
The seriousness of the situation is
indicated by the fact that Lloyd
George has summoned cabinet mem.
bers from the continent and other
places where they are sojourning. for
the purpose Of making what is semi
officially termed grave decisions"
These decisions, It was said. involve
the present threat OF q rupture be-
tween Britain and France. with France
pursuing her own course, single
handed, against Germany.
The experts committee was unable
to reach an agreement and has pre-
pared a report to that effect A ma
jority OF Premier Poincare's propo-
sails were rejected, the French stand
ing alone except in one instance.
when the Belgian representatives sup
ported them.
Conference Is Postponed
The full meeting OF the conference,
which had been set for today, was
postponed at the request OF the Brit
ish. who desire to have the questions
at issue thoroughly discussed in Cabi
net meeting before they are again de-
bated by the allied representatives.
The British deny officially that
Lloyd George has made concessions
TO Premier Poincare regarding the va
rious forms Of control which 1t is pro-
posed be put into effect over Germany.
The British also insist that conditions
cannot be attached to the granting OF
a moratorium which would destroy it's
effect.

Last, but not least. there are thou
SANDS OF idle people in the State who
would be employed. and who would
consume the supplies which are pro-
huccd by tho people. And the money
mat would be spent in the State
would stimulate business to such an
