ON PREPARATIONS

Capital Saturday for Di-
rect Discussions.

Float $6O,OOO,OOO of Bonds
to Meet Demands.

PARIS, Aug. 1S.-(By A. PD-
The preparations commission Is to
send delegates to Berlin tc confer
dir eCIly in the German capital with
Chancellor Wirth and other Jcicials
on the reparadons problem. The
delegation Will consist Of Sir John
reparat!Ons commission. Eugene
MAuclery president Of the allied
committee on guarantees and two ex-
pcrts. The party Will leave Paris
for Berlin Saturday night.
One of the chief purposes behind
the decision OF the cOmisSaOn to
have representative confer direct
with the German authorities is to
determine whether Germany can
mobilize sufficient securities 10 float
a loan OF 1900. 900 pounds approx
imately 100000 with which 10 meet
the remaining cash payments due
this year. The commission has rea-
son TO believe that if adequate col
lateral can be found, certain inter
national bankers woulr arrange the
loan.
To Avoid Moratorium Issue
With such n big loan effected the
reparations COMMITTEES would be able
TO avoid the question or mora
torium for at least six months and
the feeling is gaining ground that at
the end cf this time the allies would
be ready 10 meet in conference to
discuss a general separations settle
ment in connection with a reduced
indemnify and cancellation of war
debts
Although L : officially stated that
Sir John Bradbury and NJ. Maucler
are going TO Berlin for the purpose
OF getting a firs, hand impression
and information regarding the Ger
man situation, Sir John is cry hope
ful that some compromise can be
arranged with the Germans, either
through the suggested loan or by
means OF additional guarantees.
Have PoinCare's Consent
Sir John and hts associate are
proceeding 10 Germany with the full
consent of Premier Poincare. the
Associated Press learned today. Tho
French premier Is showing eager
ness TO settle the crisis within the
reparatiOns commission, proVid ed
French ins1Stence on more guaran-
tees can be met. The loan scheme
is only one of several proposals
which the commissioners Will discuss
in Berlin. But. in any event the re-
paratiOns problem will remain in
suspense for at least another ten
days or two weeks. according to the
length or time it takes Sir John
Bradbury and the other delegate to
complete their inquiry into Berlin.
The reparAtiOns commission, how
ever. has warned the allied govern
mentS that the chances for failure
OF the mission are just as great as
they are for SUCCESS, especially since
the recent fall In the mark
Ii was definitely stated today that
there was no intention for the pres
ent Of calling together the inter
national committee Of bankers. the
bankers unof!icially having indicated
that in the present state OF affairs
il would be futile even 70 consider
large loan and uhar a smaller loan
therefore would have to be arrnged
from other sources.

FORDSON TRACTOR
SALES INCREASE
April Thought to be Record-Break-
ing Month

Although the Ford Motor company,
Detroit, has been increasing the out
put of Fordsons daily since the first
of the year, retail sales have main
tained even a greater advance.
April requirements necessitate the
building of four hundred Fordscns a
day, and production is being further
increased as rapidly as possible. This
the Ford company's largest output
since 1919, and it is expected that
production will have broken all pre-
vious records.
The increased buying of Fordsons
indicates that the farmers position
is better and also is the farmers en-
dorsement of the Fordson prlce-cut
which created considerable comment
throughout the country.
Besides the Fordson being sold for
farm use, many are being sold in the
cities as power units for hauling, ex-
cavating, grading and other kinds OF
industrial work.
