British Fail to Agree With French
Demand for German Customs Check

Laval and Foreign Minister Aris-
tide BRAND Of France.
It was estimated the weekend
conference between French and
German officials might drag out
so long as to make it impossible
for the French statesmen to reach
here in time for the opening of
the meeting.
Things Are Unsettled
Some circles inclined to the be-
lief that tOday'S optimism on the
stock exchange was based upon
der-cstimatiOn Of French ten
acity in pursuit of its century old
aims against Germany, which she
might now be able to realize with
gold where the sword had failed.
French acceptance of participa-
tion in the London conference ap-
parently was still conditional on
the progress of negotiations with
German officials. 1t was reported
Premier Macdonald might go to
Paris if the occasion demanded.
With Ambassador Hugh Gibson
attending as unofficial observer
on behalf of the United States,
representatives of Britain, France,
Italy, Japan and Germany gath

LONDON, July 17.-An ir1dica-
ton that all Is not yet clear sail
Ing at Paris, where the German
Chancellor Bruening will arrive
today to negotiate with French
officials for a new long-term Ger
man loan, was thrown out here
today. =
London evening newspapers
published q statement, obviously
from irlspired sources, declaring
the British government will not
view with favor any proposal for
foreign control over German Gus
toms collections.

derstood to be one Of the French.
conditions to participating in a
new loan to Germany. The state
ment read:

over German customs as one of
the conditions to French partici-
patton in loan to Germany will
not be acceptable to the British
government" q.

) French officials before the latter
proceed to London for the confer
ence of ministers. Just what con-
ditions will have to be embraced
in the agreement are still not
known. "
Premier Pierre Laval conferred
with United States Secretary of
State Henry L. Stimson and For
eign Secretary Arthur Henderson
of Britain in his offices at the
ministry Of the interior this
morning.
President Hoover and Secretary
of State Stimson were credited
here today with having brought
bout change in the attitude of
the French government toward
the German financial crisis.
Their intervention was believed
responsible for the invitation of
Premier Laval to Chancellor
Bruening and Foreign Minister
Curtius to come to Paris today.
The good offices of Arthur
Henderson, British foreign secre-
tary, now in Paris, also were be-
lieved to have induced the French
to adopt a more conciliatory at
titude.
Hope for Cancellation
The London conference, 1t was
said, would take up the question
of revision Of the Young plan, to
which France in the past has
been unalterably opposed.
However. the acceptance by
President Hoover Of an invitation
to send representatives fully EN-
powered 20 discuss all questions
was taken here as a hopeful sign.
France was pleased that at last
the United States Government
should recognize a connection be-
tween reparatiOns and interaIlied
war debts. Hitherto, the Amcri-
can Government had denied this
connection.
The action of President Hoover
revived hope that cancellation Of
allied debts to the United States
might become an eventuality.
The Washington times., 1931-07-17

In ordering this widespread SUP.
preston OF the radical press was
interpreted as a safeguard against
the government being under
mined by hostile outbursts in this
section of the press during the
chancellor's and foreign minister's
absence in Paris and London at
the forthcoming conferences.
Customs Idea FIayed
Whereas, a few days ago, the
newspapers directed their ire
against the reported French de-
mands that Germany forego COM
pletion Of more west pocket"
cruisers, and renounce negotia-
tions for an Austro-G German Gus
toms union, as the price for
French participation in an inter-
national loan to Germany, today
the press was stirred to it's depths
by reports that France was now
asking supervision over German
customs to guarantee a loan.
Some of the editors regarded
such proposal as tending to
make Germany a colony" of
France.
The newspapers resented any
implication that Germany is not
capable of managing her own
finances.
In the absence of official COM
mel1t on Frances alleged condi-
tionS, it was significant that Ger
mania. organ of Chancellor
Bruening, declared flatly that
they were unacceptable even as a
basis for discussions.
The newspaper rejects financial
control of Germany through the
League of Nations, stating that
"a clear, decisive no" would be
GeTmany'S answer.

woes today in joy over the mag

from Harbor Grace, N. F., to

Gasoline Depleted
The fliers were forced to land

supply.
Emerging from the plane I'M
hurt but with tears in their eyes
that they had failed to reach
Budapest, their goal, when it was
almost in sight, the fliers were
warmly welcomed by the farm
ers.
Today they reaped the glory
Of their achievement. Thousands
thronged the wide boulevards of
Budapest to hail the fliers as
they went from reception to re-
ception. Flags f1uttered along
the famous Corso and the An
drassy Boulevard as the airmen
rode to the ancient castle of
Hungary's kings overlooking the
Danube to be received by Ad-
miral Horthy. regent for a king
not yet chosen.

The reception to Magyar and
Endres was fully as fervent as
that accorded in America to Lind

Against French on Loan Conditions

BERLIN, July II GN.SD THE
departure Of Chancellor Heinrich
Bruening today for Paris, where
he win take up negotiations with
French officials looking to an
international loan to Germany,
was marked by a particularly vio-
lent outburst in the Berlin press
against the conditions which
France is reported to be de-
n1anding.
"A second Versailles" Ger
many Will become a second
China" "the colonization of
Germany" are some of the head
lines appearing in the Nation
alist press. This section Of the
press Is most indignant over the
terms which France is reported to
have attached to the granting of
any long term credit.
Cancellation Proposed
The Deutsche A1lgemeine Zei-
tlng, organ Of the industrial in
terests, strongly urged the chan.
ce1lor to consider cancelling his

Her annulment action against
her new husband, Rev. Guy Ed.

he had a former wife living, Mrs.
Margaret Newton Hudson, of Los
Angeles.
Mrs. Kennedy signed the COM

international News Service e
learned that France believes a
ioan of from $3.50, ,0O0, 900 to $780,
600, 900 would be sufficient to see
Germany out Of its difficulties.
Germany has been reported
asking for credits tOtaling $780,
900, coo, but it was pointed cut
she already has received an ex-
tension of the 100000, zoe credit
allowed by the Banks of England
aMd France, the Federal Reserve
Bank of the United States. and
&he Bank for international Settle
m1enf.
This, coupled with the $780,
O00, 600 French credit, would give
Germany a large amount of new
money to aid her in straighten-
ing out her tangled financial stu
atiOn.
If this proved insufficient. it
was understood the French gov
eminent might agree to an addi-
tioH1al loan at some later date If
requested.

Considerable Importance was
attached to the fact that Secre-
tary of Treasury Mellon has been
asked by the President to attend
the London conference with Sec
retary Of State Stimson.
In making the announcement,
the President said:
"AS has already been an
nOunced, Secretary StimSOn will
attend the conference in Lon
don which has been called by
the British government for
Monday to consider the pres
ent emergency problems in

Secretary Mellon. il consistent
with his plans, to attend in
order that we may have the
benefit of his advice as well.
1T is our understanding that
the conference is limited en-.
tirely to questions of the pres.
ent emergency"
Stimson's principal role at Lon
don will be to bring the French
and Germans together.
The feeling here is that the
result, IL successful. is worth the
risk of reOpening Of the question
of debts and reparatiOns, which
until recently this Government
had maintained were separate
questions.
In some quarters the London
conference is likened to another
