 Up Conference

London, Dec. 15 P,-Despite the best offices of Prime Minister Ram say Macdonald the differences be- tween Hindu and Moslem delegates to the Indian round able confer ence still remain and present what may be an insurmountable obstacle to conference success.
 The prime minister had as his guests over the weekend at Che quers representatives of both re- !igious sects and attempted to af- feet a compromise between them, but found his efforts no more avail ing than those of other negotiators for more than a century past.
 'We had very interesting tims at Chequers and enjoyed the pre-. miers hospitality. Our conversa- tions were most pleasant but no set clement was reached" said Reja Narenda Nath, Hindu.
 Sir Saved Sultan Ahmed, Moslem, said T regret that so far no satis- factory solution has been reached despite the earnest efforts of our premier
 The objection of the Moslem mi nority to unequal representation in the projected Indian legislature is one of the chief bones of conten- tion between the two camps.
