FIVE NATIONS
MEET MONDAY
Snowden Declares His Coun'
try Has Made Too Many
Sacrifices Already

THE HAGUE. Aug. 17.-F1-
Chancellor Of the Exchequcr Philip
Snowden tonight accepted a pro-
posal Of France. Italy, Belgium and
Japan that experts Of all five Of the
principle reparations creditors OF
Germany examine the previous pro-
posal by the four powers for in
creasing the British share.
The experts would attempt 70
agree upon what is the actual mon
ey value Of the new offer Of d.
vision. The French claimed IL is
60 per cent or more Of the British
demand while Snowden asserted ii
amounts 10 20 or 30 per cent.
The experts will begin their work
on Monday morning.
Chancellor Adamant
Whether agreement is reached or
not, the acceptance or this propos-
al slaves off for another brief
period anv breakdown of the con
ference which has had q precarious
life ever since 1t opened. The Brit
ish chancellor has been adamant in
opposing the modification Of the spa
rations as set forth in the Young
plan.
Still the central figure Of the ne
gotiations. Snowden told the other
creditor nations TODAY there was
no use going on with the conference
unless some substantial offer to-
ward Great Britain's request Is
made.
The creditor nations consider they
have offered so per cent Of the pay
n-ents Great Britain demands.
Too MANY Sacrifices
The German foreign minister. Or,
Gustav Stresemann. called on Chan
cellor Snowden iust before noon.
Snowden animated it might be
more effective for a meeting II he
arranged between himself as Brit
fish delegate dealing with finance
and Premier BRAND.
The british DELEGATION Is not only
dissatisfied with the Young plan
but hit back at the INTERPRETATION
placed upon the British stand
against II.
'"The monev involved Is insignif-
icant." he said. There Is some
thing else involved. That Is the
fact that when we have made sac
rifices they lead only to demands
for more sacrifices. and we are
through with that

made this admission to Smith,
quoted part of . letter written to
the minister, Oct. 10. 1928.

used or will be used to promote the
anti-Smith movement the letter
said.

ment Of his board at Lake Juna-
luska last year. Cannon said, he
sent out calls for 4 conference at
Ashville, n. c.. inviting certain
persons to attend the conference to
determine what course to pursue
