The executive committee was au-

should be taken in the gasoline in

cided was whether the various states
should handle the matter individually
or together on a national scale. Mr..
Coco will suggest the latter course.
with the cooperation of the federal
Attorney General and Department of

president of the Reichsbank is still
to be heard regarding the details of
the organization of the proposed
gold bank. The members of the
committees are now exchanging
texts setting forth their individual
opinions with a view to a final agree
ment.
Gen. Charles G. Dawes, chairman
of the first committee, is understood
to have handed M. Barthou, chairman
of the reparation commission, a docu-
ment containing bis summing up of
the evidence heard by his committee,
and the other experts will do SO as
soon as they can complete a draft of
their conclusion.
Confidence Felt.
1t is said on good authority that
they already have made known
verbally, the substance of their con-
clusiCns, the result of which is a
feeling Of confidence in the success

This optimism Is most evident In

preston from the little that is known
of what the investigation turned up
In Berlin, is most excellent, High
hopes are entertained that the allies
are finally on the road to a definite
settlement of the reparations

The German version of the con-
illusions of the experts which fore
casts that they will demand that the
Ruhr be handed back to German
control along with the railroad is
secuted in French circles, although

likely to make a reference to the
