presented in the intcr-alicd financial
confer renee today signed the agreement

servations.
Limitation Of the American damage
claims to $350,00O,000 was stricken out.
This was the only change made in the
text Of the agree mcnt before it's sigma
ture.
Signature of the financial convention
brings to Il fitting close what has been
by common consent the nest successful
inter allied mct ting since the armistice.

ample set at the beginning of the con
ference by the Anne rican delegation and
Winston Churchill, an example of mod
crate good will and determination tG

Everybody. seems satisfied that order
has been evolved from chaos at the ex-
pcnsc of the least possible sacrifice to
each of the participating nations.
Even the smaller powers, notably Ru-
mania. whose situation is undeservedly
hard, go away with the conviction that
their intert st will be taken care Of and
that means will be found to satisfy their
requirements in the not too distant fu-
turc.
The convention is a carefully drawn
document in French and English, and
contains 27 clauses divided into five
chapters. The first chapter deals with
apportionmcnt Of the annual Dawes pay
ments, the second with the Ruhr and
other back accounts and the third with
cation of the previous agreement.
