United States officially represented
bv Ambassador Kellogg, reached
full agreement on the program for
making the Dawes PREPARATION plan
effective After eighteen days. and
good part of many nights, spent
at the British foreign office in Down
ing street, the parleys have terml-
mated successfully so far as thelr
inter-allied aspect is concerned. The
conference now becomes an inter
national one.
With the arrival Of German repre-
sentatives in response to the invita-
ton dispatched this afternoon by
Premier Macdonald the inter-allied
formula for launching the new
scheme to obtain war compensation
from Germany will be reviewed and
the Berlin emissaries will be asked
to agree to it. Final adjournment
is expected the end of next week.
The delegates tonight character
lied the negotiations as the most
successful of all the European con
ferences held since the great war,
and many of them expressed APP
probation Of the assistance of the
American delegates and observers.
L. S. Delegates Praised
1.-THE conference has been a won
derfuI success so far" said Ambas,
sador Kellogg to the Associated
Press. 1T has taken a good deal
of time, but there was a vast amount
Of ground to be covered. Everyone
was determined to accomplish the
task. and think we have done it
;cs
one we will take UP with the Ger
mans next week"
Mr.. Kellogg paid high tribute to
the valuable work done by James A.
Logan, Jr.. and the other American
experts. He also praised the helpful.
ness of Owen d. Young, who in his
unofficial position as one of the
Dawes committeeman, placed his
knowledge of the scheme before the
conference whenever he was called
upon.
In Mr.. Logan's opinion the agree
ment reached by the allies today
marks their greatest success since
Versailles. Mr.. Young likewise ex-
pressed approval of the program as
a sound basis for working the Dawes
scheme and in keeping with the
spirit of the expert commission s
work.
The meditative role of the Ameri-
cans continued throughout the CON
ference and aided materially in
bringing final accord during the
plenary session this morning, when
it was found the French and British
views still were widely divergent on
technical points which the expert
during day and night sessions for
the past As hours Vainly tried to set
tie.
HerriOt Proposals Modified
Ambassador Kellogg made short
speech, eiviigs his opinion as to what
should be done and quick agreement
followed.
During the past two days all of
/ Premier Hcrriot's proposals calling
for application Of the principle of
/ arbitration to differences arising in
operation of the Dawes plan wore
modified and adopted with the eX,
/ ception of a difficult technical point
| involving the powers Of the trans
| fer committee, which is the heart of
| the Dawes plan.
! The experts sat around the table
/ most of Thursday night but could
! not reach an agreement. They con.
/ tinUed their efforts throughout Fri
! day, remaining az Downing street
/ until 8 o'clock this morning. Snatch
! ing a few hours rest they returned
/ agan at 10:30, hoping to conclude
| their work before the plenM SEES

The British anG French were wide

committees work, and when their
/ views were re-Stated in the plenary
/ session there seemed no tendency to

point that Ambassador Kellogg in

received by a high American author
