HOPE STILL HELD
 FOR LOST PLIERS
Better Weather May Bring Res cue of Southern Gross Group

Sydney. N. S. w. April Pt-Im- heightened the hopes of those searching "somewhere east Of Synd- ham" for Captain Charles Kings ford Smith and his companions of the Southern Cross.
 Aviation authorities, admitting the immense difficulties of the quest due to the inaccessibility and wild nature of the northwestern Australia area. nevertheless encouraged every one to hope for its success. This. they believed, might be nearer than anyone suspected.
 The airliner Canberra left here early today for the northwest to join the search for the missing air men. who have been lost since their forced landing on a Sydney to Synd- ham flight last Sunday. The plane carried provisions and medical sup plies and was piloted by a Captain Holden with | Doctor Holden as passenger.
 Much of the search thus far has ccntered in the Fort George area. On the chance that Captain Kings ford Smith may have headed for the seacoast for possible beach land Ing a lugger started to cruise along the coast beyond the Port George mission today.
 Some believed that the aviators. realizing that descent in the wild broken country further inland prob ably would be disastrous, headed for the sea as soon as they realized they were in difficulty.

 When that plenary session is call cd there is a strong probability the total amount of the allied claims against Germany will be discussed and possibly debated.
 The view of French circles that pr. Hjalmar Schacht. president of the Reichsbank, was attempting to delay this discussion on the ground that the greatest delay was most beneficial to his cause, led to a meeting last night of four allied na- tions' delegations. IL was understood a set of principles which is to gov ern the negotiations on figures was decided upon.
 These will be communicated 10 Dr. Schacht and the talks. within the limits thus prescribed. can pro- ceed. Dr. Schachts questions at the plenary session yesterday. presumed to concern memorandum the allied nations handed him prior to the Easter vacation. were not taken un- favorably here. It was believed the memorandum given him was writ ten hastily and actually was obscure and ambiguous in some places, 50 that the German bankers request for further elucidation was not at all unreasonable.
