the views which they held on all
these points. and they urged upon
their allies that an inter allied dis
cussion should be opened with as
little delay as possible, wheather
little delay or otherwise, elaborat-
ing a comprehensive plan for a
general and final financial settle-
ment.
The prime minister then made
the same statement to the members
o. the common that Lord CurZon
made in the upper chamber, ex-
pressing regret that the government
could not Ind enough mate sial in
the French and Belgian reposes to
send a joint allied reply to the Ger.
man note.
Great Britain and France stand
even further apart in their attitudes
toward Germany than the British
people and probably the world at
large have understood. This seems
to be the conclusion drawn from
the explanations Premier Baldwin
and Lord -Curzon, the foreign sec
rotary, gave parliamen- today OF the
latest British attempt to lay the
foundations of a united policy.
The ministers revealed that the
latest communications from France
and Belgium furnished no material
for an allied answer to the German
reparation proposals and they
brought to light surprising dead
lock in the correspondence.
Neither reply, they stated, even
mentioned the draft note to Ger
many which Great Britain had sub
mitted to the two allied govern
ments. Apparently the French and
Belgian communications were limit
ed to replying to Great Britain's
covering note, sent with the draft
or dealt only in generalities.
Some Salient Points Revealed
Some of the salient points in the
proposed Brit sh rlars were revealed
in the ministerial statement One
was that Great Britain had proposed
some form of international control of
the German financial administration !:
also that she had put fcrward pro-
rCsal for the much discussed exam
nation bv an impartial body Of ex-
perts. cooperating with the repara-
ticn commission, in Germany's capa-
city to pay.
Great rrltain, it was revealed, had
proposed to tell the Germans that IL
Germany ceased her passive resis-
tance there would be at lesst a re-
consideration Of the conditions OF the
Rubr occupation. permitting gra
dual return TO normal industrial life

inns Mornings Report
At 1920 o'clock this morning,
President Harding was awake and
his physician, Brigadier General
Charles Z. Sawyer, went in to re-
ceive a report from the doctor in
charge during the night, Lieutenant
Commander Joe T. Bone. on how the
executive had rested. The president
apparently had slept later than he
did yesterday.
President Harding had "a restful
night" last night, his second within
forty eight hours, and his tempera
ture this morning was normal.
An informal statement issued by
Brigadier General Charles E. Say
wer, his personal physician, gave
the executives condition at 1855 a.
m. as follows: Temperature 98.6;
respiration go; pulse no"
Doctor Sawyer's announcement
set at rest apprehensions which had
been expressed by some of the
watchers outside the presidential
suite several times during the night
These were based on the fact that a
light was observed In the presidents
bedroom where none had burned
previously since he came here, i'll,
last Sunday.
1t was learned that Commander
Boone. who mad spent nearly the en-
tire night in the sickroom, had caus =
ed the light to be kept burning.
DR.. Sawyer later, announced that
"a mistake had been made" in the
presidents respiration which was
thirty six instead of thirty-two, he
said. He explained that thirty two
had been the low point, but thirty
six was the correct figure.
