Dawes plan eHectlNe'
 Tho Serene says that the conferee,
 in their declarations about harmon,
 carly thiH week perhaps succeeded ir
 fooling the reading public but they
 did not fool the English and American
 bankers who refused 10 lend cent
 to Germany as long as there was nc
 guarantee that policy of violence
 would not be repeated.
 The newspaper say it does moi blame the bankers for their refusal 10 lend money under the present prospects because they understand that the Dawes plan has been com pletely destroyed since the London conference began"
 The Dawes experts drew up plan which was perfect from the technical and economic points of view but the London conference has transformed it into captious. dangerous, political plan.' the Serene continues, declar- ing that the nations should once and for all put squarely up 10 France full responsibility for the rupture and failure to execute the Dawes plan.
 The newspaper praises the declara- tions of Secretary of State Hughes that the United States will not help to carry out any plan which does not offer guarantees to the investors. It adds that although Mfr. Hughes has declared that his presence in London Is entirely unofficial. he nevertheless Is not spending all of his time admiring London architecture.
 The Euovo Paese says that the Hughes speech demonstrates that the American entrance into European af- fairs through diplomats Is not off, cially authorized and that the en- trance through bankers seeking to further their own interests indicates a tendency to take the reparation question out of the political-economic sphere and to place it into the sphere of business operated by business men. The newspaper adds that the decision !, of the English and American bankers | shows what powerful force business interests will exert in the reparation question.
 The Giornale DItalia makes a simi- ar observation concerning the French attitude but seems to sym pathize with Premier Herriot

LONDON CONFERENCE.
 STILL DEADLOCKED.
French Unable to Agree With
 FinanCiers
II, The A.seeiated Press.

Ii The Associated Press.
 London, July 24.--The conflict IT
 the views between the French dele
 gates to the inter allied conference and the American and British fnan. ciers regarding the safeguards for the protection of investors in the German loan proposed under the Dawes plan. remained unreconciled today. according to well-informe d persons. Formal and informal meet ings of the delegates this morning produced no indication of a way out of the impasse.
 The principal meeting was at Downing street where Premier Her riot of France. Premier Theunis of Belgium. American Ambassador Kel- logg and Italian Finance Minister De Stefani had a two hours converse tion with Prime Minister Macdonald, 5 Hughes Being Watched.
 The greatest significance Is being attached to the comings and goings of Secretary of State Hughes and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon of the United States. who are having a most difficult task in convin Ing Lon don that their mission here is unoffi- cial. Such high hopes were raised at the outset of the conference by the participation of the United States that observers still are optimistic that the two members of the American cabinet can yet find way despite the unofficial character of their good offices, to be of assistance in solving the deadlock.
 While the all-important committee on defaults and sanctions did not | hold any full meeting. its members whose preliminary reported proved | 50 unsatisfactory to the financiers, | had convefsation with both the British and American bankers.
 All that can be said with certainty about the deadlock Is that misun- derstandings still remain to be cleared away. The financiers express dissatisfaction with the reparation commission as the arbiter of defaults and sanctions and insist upon cop per-riveted pact against separate &C., ton by any power before they will agree to underwrite German loan.
 The French delegation insists that this Is the first step towards the de- struction of the Versailles treaty and all that 1t implies and an infringe mcnt upon French sovereignty. , There was little abatement of the l tension when all of the delegations suspended their conversations to at- ! tend King Georges garden party at { Buckingham palace this afternoon.

FISHERMEN STRIKE
1s00 Fishing Boats Tied Up At San Diego When Owners Refuse To Go After Ffnny Rascals.

San Diego Gal, July 24--Fifteen hundred fishing boats were tied up here and at San Pedro today and more than 2,O0o cannery employees were out of work as a result of a strike of fishermen begun when their demands for increased prices were refused by canneries for albacore.
 A phenomenal run of albacore, or white meat tuna, was indirectly re- sponsible for the strike, according to cannery officials, who said that the fishermen insisted on an Increase of s20 ton despite their greater profits because of the big run. Delegates of the Fishermen's Protective association and the Japanese Fishermen's associa- tion said that the operators not only refused the increase, but sharply re- duced the price offered. The retail price of canned tuna was reduced re- gently.
 The price recently paid to Asher men here has been $240 a ton. This was cut to s12o, representatives of the men said. In San Pedro the price is said to have been $22O a ton and to have been cut to $50.
