Think Belgian Note May Lead to
New Allied Action.

By the, Associated Press.
PARIS, August 2s.-The impress
sion in official circles today. after
reading Belgium's reply to the recent
British reparation note, is that the
field is now clear for, a new start
toward negotiating a settlement OF
the problems between the allies.
Each Of the most interested powers
has stated it's attitude clearly and
the difference between them in actual
money figures is regarded as not
so great as to preclude an agreement
when their statesmen take an op-
portunity to talk the situation over.
The question now is as to who
will make the first move toward such
conversations. The British prime
minister, Stanley Baldwin, Is looked
upon here as the one from whom
the initiative would most properly
come, since he has the best occasion
to take the step before leaving
France. where he now is spending
a short vacation.
He is expected to call on Premier
Poircare at any event while passing
through Paris for London, and it
Is pointed out that he would fnd
no better opportunity for a heart
to-heart talk with the French premier.

while he was glad to get the federal
governments best information as to
the anthracite situation, he wanted
in the end to rely upon his own re-
sources.
There is, every reason to believe
that in preparing for the fateful con-

Mr.. Pinchot could not keep the
colonel out of his prepared public
address to the miners and operators.

many supposedly conservative people

general opinion of all French people
as to just what America should DO IS,
first, that she wipe out all European

He said there was a universal feel

LONDON, August 2S. Belgium's s

British government officials, to whom
it was addressed, as offering little or
no advance toward q solution Of the
Ruhr impasse.
While appreciating the generous
language and the marked amity Of
the document, British foreign ONCE
experts were regretfully forced to ad-

far short Of Great Britain's expecta-
tions. Tho acturiai formulae. with
which the note abounds, will be ex-
amined by the British treasury au-
thorities with an open and sympa-

even some slight basis of accommo-
dation to the British reparations plan.
But cursory examination OF the

said. revealed only slight signs of
agreement.
