all discussions Of the Dawes plan
were discontinued.
They were resumed, however,
when the diplomats returned to

Predictions were freely mads
that an agreement would be ready
for submission to the plenary ges-
sion Of che conference Monday.
Six plans have been advanced TO
break the deadlock between the
bankers and the French Representa-

Practically all doubt that German
representatives would be invited to
the conference disappeared today
when It was learned the jurists'
committee which had been discuss.

plan, would report to the plenary
conference Monday that the plan
was without the treaty. and it's
various decisions would require
German consent as well as Ger.

On the other hand the history
and the lesson OF the first twenty
years Of this century cannot be

years the prices OF farm products
