In the memorandum accompany
ing the original British invitation to
italy. Belgium and Japan to attend
an interallied conference, the British
government proposed that In the
event of a German default. the mat
ter might be referred to the League
Of Nations or The Hague arbitration
tribunal, thus lifting 1t out or the
hands of the reparation commission.
n was this prospect that caused SO
much resentment in France ana gave
