GERMANY TO BE HEARD

LONDON, Aug. (By The Asso-
ciated Presj) The Allies and the
Germans have reached a complete
agreement on the manner in which
defaults are to be declared under
the Dawes plan.
The council of fourteen today
adopted the full text of the report
of the first committee of the inter-
allied conference. The council will
meet again at 500 P. M. to take
Zip the report of the third COM
mittee.
Frank B. Kellogg. the American
ambassador, told the newspaper men
after the first session of the council
that the whole atmosphere of the
conference was good, although the
chief difficulties were considered to
be centered in consideration of the
reports of the second and third COM
mittees. He was optimistic and be-
lieved an agreement would be reach
ed without undue difficulties.
The conference leaders on the
allied side met first this morning
and shortly afterward the Germans
were admitted to take part in tho
discussion. 1t was decided TO refer
the question of amnesty for German
nationals in the occupied territories
to the conference jurists. An agree
ment on this subject is considered
probable.
French circles expressed them
selves quite satisfied with the morn
ing meeting. They said the Ger
mans presented their propositions
in a moderate way and that the tone
of the discussion was most court
eous.
One of the French spokesmen
asserted that many of the points put
forward by the Germans were cap
able of adjustment and reconcilia-
ton with the agreements reached by
the allies. 1t was said that in some
instances only a slight explanation
seemed necessary to make the Ger
man and allied views coincide.
This mornings meeting was again
held in a committee room of the
House of Commons so as to permit
Prime Minister Macdonald to with
draw from time to time in order to
take his place on the floor of the
House where his proposed Anglo
Russian agreement was being sub
jected to hostile attack.
Meanwhile the conference experts
in Downing street considered their
consideration of the question of the
restoration of Germany's economic
unity and the problem presented by
tn etransfer of reparation receipts
After this mornings meeting
of the big fourteen" of the
international conference on repara-
tions a French spokesman said an
agreement was In sight by which
Germany would be allowed to ad-
dress the interallied reparation COM
mission should she be adjudged in
default under the Dawes plan.
1t was emphasized by this infor-
mant that this concession would be
accorded Germany as a privilege
rather than as a right, and that the
final determination of Germany's
possible default must remain strictly
an allied affair. OM this point the
French spokesman was optimistic
that the Germans would accept the
agreement reached by the allied
delegates among themselves before
the Germans were invited to Lon
don.
In a lengthy summary of the Ger
man memoran lum t. the conference
Daily Telegraph today says that
some of the objections raised by the
Berlin delegates are serious. especi-
ally that regarding the protocol of
the third commission. which deals
with deliveries in kind and trans
fers of reparations.
The German criticism in this re-
spect he says, goes amazingly far
and is wholly destructive of the ,on-
clusions reached by the third COM
mission and the conference"
Among other things the Germans
insist, according to the correspon-
dent, upon the right of appeal
against the program for deliveries in
kind to be elaborated by the repa-
ration commission and the bodies
emanating therefrom.
