Hold Secret Session

There viii be a plcnary session on
Monday and DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
head OF the German delegation, may
have new proposals to offer to the
creditor powers in liquidation of her
war debts. Schacht reiterated today
that the negotiations would con-
tinue, indicating that Berlin might
have fresh proposals to make.
For the most part, the slight at
titudc Of optimism ON the part OF
some of the allied delegates was fed
by the secret meeting which was
called Friday by owen D. Young,
chairman Of the conference.
Young and Thomas w. Lamont,
another member Of the unofficial
American delegation. called in
Schacht, Sir Josiah Stair of Brit
ain. NJ. Quesnay of France and the
Italian representative at the con-
ference. Alberto Pireli.
What they discussed at this Sc
cret conference was not known. 1t
was assumed, however, that they
took up the reparatlOns question
afrCsh. perhaps after being told by
SChacht that he had taken differ
ent stand in the matter.
Demands Not Ultimatum
Schacht offered the allies. in his
last memorandum, annuitieS of
s393 100000 of $43O,OOOOOO a year,
with payments running over a period
Of fft5 EIGHT years.
It is believed that Schacht re-
Ceivec instructions from Berlin to
modify his demands and by all
means not to take the responsible
ity of breaking off the negotiations,
which were asked for by the Ger
mans in the first place.
Schacht, chief of the German
delegation. said he did not mean
his figure and his demands for the
restoration of former German col
onieS and frontier lines as an ultl-
matum He said he merely con-
sidered his proposition in the light
of basis for future negotiations.
