Il was said in well informed
quarters that the conference has
been e~ncountering severe and dis

some to the insistence OF France
that Germany pay for outside aid

Complete Accord
r. Is understood the American and
and British views are In complete
accord. that they regard immediate
relief as imperative. but they do not
approve of a long term loan at this
time.
Rather. II was said. they favor
short term credits which would
bridge over the immediate desper-

creditors time to discuss what fur
ther measures Of relief could be
extended In the fall.
In a long talk Just before the

told the meeting the larger Ameri-

has been able 20 keep tab. have
not withdrawn credits from Ger

On the contrary. he said there
have been some increases or Ameri-

sured the conference that the
American banks will cooperate in
relief. provided aid comes from 9TH

II was learned that no concrete
proposals have yet been advanced

thus far have been along general
