VITAL PARLEYS AT
 COMING SESSIONS
Germans Expect to Garry on
 Important Conversations

Berlin, Sept. 25 P'-The German delegates to the security conference, invitation to which was accepted by the cabinet yesterday, are expected 10 carry on vital private conversa- lions with the allied statesmen while the negotiations for the security pact are proceeding.
 In fact, interest in political circles here centers quite as much In these private talks as in the formal con- yersations on the security issue. It Is recalled that the value of the Lon- don reparation conference lay as much in the gentlemen's agreements reached between the German and allied delegates as in the adoption of the Dawes plan.
 The Germans at the forthcoming meeting, the date and site for which are yet 10 be fixed, will stress pri- vately that hand in hand with the security pact must go the following: Deduction of Germanys burden of maintaining occupationsl forces. lmmedidte evacuation or me Col ogne bridgehead, held by the British
