LONDON, Aug. THE Allies and
the Germans have reached comp!ets
agreement OH the manner in which de-
faults are to be declard uender the
Dawes plan.
Ambassador Kellogg told the newspa-
permen 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 committees he
was optimistic and believed an agree
ment would be reched without uniuc
difficulties.
The conference leaders on the allied
side met first this morning. and shor,
ly afterwards the Germans were admit
ted to take part in the discussion i:
was decided to refer the question of
amnesty for German nations in the oe
cupied territories to the conference
jurorists. An agreement on this sub
iect Is considered probable.
After this mornings meeting of the
:" Big Fourteen Of the International
conference French spokesman said an
agreement was in sight by which Ger
many would be allowed to address tho
inter-allied reparation commission
should she be adjudged in default un-
der the Dawes plan.
Ii was emphasized that this conces-
sion would be accorded Germany as a
privilege rather than as a right and
that the final determination of Ger
many's possible default must remain
strictly an allied affair. On this point
the French spokesman was optimistic
that the Germans would accept tn
agreement reached by the allied dele
gates among themselves before the Ger
mans were invited to London.
The council Of fourteen today adopt
ed the full text Of the report Of the
first committee of the inter-allied con-
ference. The council will meet again

REPORT HEAVY
COTTON YIELD
in MATAMOROS
Alleged Combinations to
Keep Down Price Are
Unfounded; ming
Is Steady

With crop one-third larger than
that Of last year. ana with the price
running fairly steady, cotton condi-
tions in Matamoros and vicinity are
promising, according to reports receiv-
ed here from Mexican Consul A. c.
Nasquez, and from other persons fam
iliar with conditions in the city acros,
the river.
Reports that cotton growers in Ma
tamoros are smarting under an alleged
combine among cotton buyers who re-
fuse to pay more than three cents
kilogram for cotton are evidently un-
true, as the Mexican consul stated that
he considered his figures. of six cents
a pound for seed cotton. NJ fairly ac-
curate. and believed the three gins
across the river as paying about the
same for the staple.
The consul declared that cotton in
Matamoros is being bought from the
growers at six cents a pound for seed
cotton. which is equivalent to about l8
cents a pound for lint cotton. The cot
ton sold at 80 cents a pound BY the
blyers, which nets them close TO II
cents a pound. the consul said.
This figure shows that the buyers
are reaping a heavy commission for
handling the cotton. but shows that re-
ports Of a combine, and Of paying a
price Of one cent q pound Is exagger-
ated. Mr.. Vasquez declared.
Matamoros cotton cannot be shipped
across the river on account Of the pink
boil worm menace. and most of il goes
to the interior Of Mexico-to Mexico
City. where there are several cotton
factories. The selling price Of cotton
in Matamoros is close 10 that here. al
thought the farmer does not get the
selling price Of the staple. as does the
farmer on this side Of the Rio Grande.
According 90 reports today, Matamo-
ros has one Of the largest crops in its
history. The three gins, one owned by
Andres Pacheco. one By Milton Cross.
and one at Las Rucias, owned by the
successors Of Juan II. Fernandez, are
running regularly.
