HOWELL OF LAFO[[ETTE I:
GROUP IS FOR COOLIDGE
ALLIED DELEGATES
RESENT DICTATION
lNT'L. FINANCIERS

London, July c5.-Although the inter-
allied conference marked time today,
there was observable tonight an unmis-
taxable hardening in the attitude OF
all OF the delegates against submitting
to the dictation of the international n
nanciers in formulating q protocol TO
launch the Dawes plan.
The French spokesman in expressing
the views OF Premier Herriot were
more unyielding than ever toward the
surrender of any rights which France
enjoys under the treaty of Versailles.
In American circles 1t was stated that
the Dawes plan was Of such Importance
that it could not be jeopardized by the
relatively unimportant disputes be-
tween the bankers and the delegates.
The British continued confident that a
compromise would be reached on the
question Of security for u German
loan that will satisfy both the bapkers
and the French politicians.
Among all the eXpertS-obserVers,
advisers and delegates-there Is a con-
certed effort to settle the difficulties
that have beset the parleys for weeks
and which at times have seemed to
threaten the very existence of tn con-
ference. Frank ID. Kellogg, the Ameri-
can ambassador, went so far as to say
that the problems Of defaults and
sanctions under the Dawes plan and
their relations to security for the Ger
man loan would not necessarily have
to be settled in London. This view,
however, is not shared by the other
delegations. where It was said the issue
bankers have injected into the pro-
ceedings is paramount and that as
soon as it is settled the conference can
consider its work completed.

pieces. according to the reports here.

Coolidge Sees
Better Business in
Higher Farm Prices

Washington, July % - Improve
ment in general business conditions
is expected by President Coolidge to
result from the. advances in the
prices of wheat. corn and other farm
products.
The president was said at the
White House today to see in the in
creased prices an approach toward
the long-desired state of similarity
in the levels of farm and manufac-
tured products.
Mr.. Coolidge also is hopeful that
the new S26.000.000 grain marketing
company. former through a merger
of five of the largest grain companies
of the country, will prove a method of
lessening the expense of marketing
and thereby benefit both the farmer
and consumer. The government,
however, has not approved or disap-
proved the new company, as, there
has been on occasion for federal au-
thorities to pass on the concern.
