BANKERS FIRM
IN SECURITY
DEMAND
Premier Herriot Threatens to
Leave Farley II Compromise
Is Not Made
BY DAVID NJ CHURCH.

SNAaeetANHNA 3NDttG DIEylCDs
propose to float s $200. 600, GOO loan
LONDON. July 23. Bankers who
Tor Germany continued ito hold out
today for better security than they
consider the allied conference agree.
ments give them. and Premier Her,
riot threatened to return 90 Paris
unless the bankers compromise their
stand.
AS between the loan to Germany
and the Versailles treaty, will
choose the treaty" Herrtot was re.
ported to have told Thomas w. La.
mont, Morgan representative.
In this situation other powers
were making efforts to reach 81
formula that will satisfy, both the
bankers and the French, ana to
that end numerous conferences
were underway.
Tentative plans were made 70 hold
full session Of the conference AZ
o'clock this afternoon, but they
were dependent on achieving q plan
satisfactory to all.
The situation, boiled down. Is
this:
The bankers do not want the
reparations commission TO have full
power to declare Germany in de.
fault and to exact sanctions, feeling
that such q course would jeopardtze
their chance Of collecting on the
bonds.
The French insist on the treaty
provisions that the reparations com.
mission is the body to declare a de.
fault and to fix sanctions. They
guarantee that such sanctions would
be applied to the loan, hut the
bankers point out that, as In the
case OF the Ruhr occupation, there
may be deficit In any attempt To
get sanctions. 5
The solution, It appeared today,
was In some way to get the power
In question away from the repara-
tons commission without appearing
actually to do it, thus satisfying
both the bankers and France.
OF numerous plans offered, only
that of Premier Theunis, of Belgium,
has been receiving any serious con.
sideration. It would appoint a com.
Mittee Of five to deal with sanctions
and default during the life Of the
loan only. The separations commits
sion would delegate the power, thus
in principle retaining its powers
Such a plan meets the wishes Of
the bankers and saves Frances
face but the French representatives
have not vet agreed to 1t.
The committee would be chosen
from the American and British ex.
perts, giving control to the nations
that win supply the money.
While this plan was advanced by
Premier Theunis, there were reports
II had American inspiration. owen
p. Young, unofficial American oh.
server on the reparations commits
sion. and Ambassador Frank KEEL
logg have been very active In strfN.

that music Is absolutely indispensa-
BILE to our community life"
Another statement Of the same
idea was made to the conference by
Olive M. Jones, president Of the
National Education Association.
