LONDON. Aug. 13.-A compromise
proposal aimed at the breaking down
OF the deadlock in the premiers' con.
ference due to the clash of interest.
between Great Britain and France will,
be offered by Carlo Schanzer, the Ital.
ian representative, when the meetine
reassembles tomorrow. 1t ia under.
stood that the measure will have the
support Of Premier Poincare and M
Iheunis, Of Belgium. The proposal will
como on the same day that the mex,
German payment of 100000 gold
marks becomes due.
According to the outline of the COM
promise, which The Tribune CORE
spondent was able to obtain tonight
Signor Schanzer will propose that the
reparation installments for August
September and October shall be paid
with stay of fifteen days for the
August payment-but that further con-
ference looking to moratorium on the
September payments shall be held, in
which the whole question of repara-
tions and the inter-Allied debt shall be
taken up.
Three Leaders Agree on Move
This new tack was decided upon TO-
day after M. Poincare, Signor Schan-
zer and M. Theunis discussed measures
of meeting the situation arising out
of the divergent views of Lloyd George
and the French Premier. 1t will be
moved by Signor Schanzer, who last
week protested against his exclusion
from the premiers' meetings. In view
Of the fact that he stands in more
or less neutral position between the
British and French, his suggestion can
come as a new proposal.
No official indication Of the British
attitude toward the Schanzer compro-
mise could be had tonight. The
French, however. are hopeful that Lloyd
George will welcome it as means of
averting rupture of the conference
OF course, it is recognized that the
proposal would call for some sacrifice
on the part of the British, since they
have taken the position that the mora
torium must be made Immediately
Against this the French point out that
if the proposal was accepted all their
own plans applying to sanctions from
Germany would lapse automatically
This in itself would be a considerable
concession on the part of France.
There is no doubt that Lloyd George
is ready to go far to avoid any occa-
sion for separate action by France, and
while it cannot be predicted that he
will accept the new plan, it is probable
that some sort of compromise will be
made that will permit of another con
ference.
PARIS, Aug. 13 (By The Associated
Press ANGRY demands for the re-
lection Of the British reparations pro-
gram characterize all the comment in
to-day's newspapers, except that in
"Temps" and the journal des Debats. f"
adjectives, but they reach the same
onclusion-that France cannot let
Great Britain have her way.
The "Temps" sums up the general feel
ing of the editorial writer's when it
says that Great Britain "shows to Ger
many leniency she does not extend to
her Allies" The Temps" protests
against the British plan primarily be-
cause it says Paragraph 10 would give
the Reparation Commission, on which
France is outvoted, absolute control
over the number of French troops along
the Rhine and the duration Of their
stay.
The "Temps" remarks that France
was refused the protective guarantees
she needed, and now is refused mort
cages to guarantee her reparations
claims, and she cannot now have taken
from her the only means she has left
for her security and to enforce her
1t is recalled by the "Temps" that
Great Britain refused to cancel
Frances debt to her, and it declares
that France likewise should refuse to
grant Germany delay until Great
Britain displays toward France the
same generosity she displays toward
Germany.
The newspapers generally give scant
notice to the two German notes of pro-
test, simply publishing them with the
remark that Germany would not have
adopted such a tone under other cir
cumstances, implying that British en-
couragement is responsible for Ger
manys various objections.
Resolutions approving the foreign
policy of Premier Poincare at the Lon
don conference have been sent to the
Premier by the following City Coun-
ellis: Bar-sur-Aube, Bernay, Clermont-
Ferrand, lie Puy, POrient, Louhans,
Neuchatel, Figac, Rouen, Vannes and
Yvetot.
