LONDON, July 22.-Leaders OF
the allied conference, attempting to
agree on a plan for applications of
the experts report TO solve the
German reparations question, met
hurriedly in Downing street today
to discuss the serious situation
which has arisen, following de-
mand of the Anglo bank
ing groups for better guarantees to
safeguard the proposed loan 20 Ger
many.
News that the bankers did not
consider sufficient the guarantees
proposed by the committees caused
CONSERVATION. Prime Minister Nc.
Donald Immediately got in touch
with Premier Herfiot of France,
Premier Theunis of Belgium and
the ItaIi;p Minister of Financa De
Stefani, who heads his country =
delegation to the conference, and
the four went into session at No
10 Downing street at 10 a. m.
The meeting of the big Five
at 10 Downing street was informal
and no communigue was issued.
Premier Herriot, who previously
had break tasted with Premier Nc,
Donald, departed from the meeting
obviously pale and worried and
conversing earnestly with Premier
Theunis, occasionally punetuating
his remarks by tapping the ground
with his ebony cane.
Cabinet Meets Hastely
Herriot and Theunis remained on
the eurbstone outside for some time
in deep conversation.
Immediately after the allied states
men had departed the British cab
met met hastily at the prime min
ister's residence and it was under
stood the reported hitch in the con-
ference was discussed.
1t is virtually admitted that the
Wall street and Throgmorton street
observers at the conference have
flatlv rejected the report of the
committee as to safeguarding in
vestors in the German loan against
a repetition of the Ruhr invasion.
Nevertheless, it is denied that
crisis has occurred, as the authori-
ties involved hope for an early so
luton of the situation by means OF
Il revision of the report. Ii this
should prove unsuccessful, howeveE,
the. crisis will be fact.
Conferences were continued today
between bankers and experts in an
effort to find formula to present
to the plenary session when the re-
port of the first committee is rea
dv.
The possibility of disapproval by
the bankers was foreseen when the
British and Americans insisted that
the first committee s report be re-
garded as a recommendation mere
lv and not as final agreement.
