LAUSANNE EFFORTS
French and Germans Weigh
Possibilities of Recess
Until Autumn.

LAUSANNE. Switzerland. June 27.-
Is the statesmen gathered today for
resumption Of the Debts and Repara-
tons Conference. the French and Ger
.z.an delegations considered dropping
the whole thing until Autumn, fearing
that neither would be able to compro-
mise because Of domestic opinion in
both countries.
It was generally accepted that neither
Premier Herriot nor Chancellor Won
Papen wanted to delay matters, but
conferences with their respective cabi-
nets over the wee kend seemed to have
brought them no closer to basis Of
agreement.
Won Papen Denies Reports.
The German newspapers criticized
the chancellor sharply for an interview
in a Paris daily in which he was quoted
as having accepted the French claim
to compensation. He said he had been
misunderstood, that what he told the
Paris paper was that France and Ger
many would go further through CO.
operation than through continuation OF
reparations.
Likewise, Premier Herriot found in
Paris no inclination to recede from the
French demand for continued payments
by Germany.
Prime Minister Macdonald of Great
Britain and Dino Grandi. the Italian
representative, led the forces still de-
termined upon a definite settlement OF
the debts issue before this conference
closes.
The faction which advocates post
ponement of further negotiations sug-
gested creation of committee OF ex-
perts to determine upon a formula OF
agreement in the disputed question OF
cash payments by Germany.
Action Due Before December Is.
This committee would assemble its
data so that the powers could meet
again before a debt inst2llment to the
United States falls due on December Is
Meanwhile the German delegation
submitted a summary Of its position,
based upon a double contention-flrst,
that she is unable to continue repaTa-
ticns payments, and second, that she is
ready to participate in any concrete
plan to restore Europe's economic sta
bility.
At the same time Dino Grandi pre-
sented the Italian position in favor OF
wiping out the reparations burden, with
the understanding that final rerara-
tions settlement must entail settle
ment of the other war debts.

Relief, economy and money legisla-

hope of adjournment Saturday, but
bent their immediate efforts toward
passage of annual appropriations bills
that should be laws by the beginning

.GLASSFORD SOUGHT.
FOR HEAD OF VT. v.
Representative Connery Says
D. C. Official Should Be
National Commander.

Representative Connery of Massachu-
sets. one of the stanchest friends of
the Bonus Evolutionary Force, declared
today he was ready to boom Brig. Gen.
Pelham D. Glassford superintendent of
police, for national commander of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars
IF Gen. Glassford won't become a
candidate, we'll draft him." Representa-
tive Connery said.
Connery and Gen. Glassford fought
together in the old Goth (Yankee) Divi-
sion. Both are members of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars.
Connery said Gen. Glassford's record
and sympathetic dealing with the 10000
ex-veterans, who marched to Washing
ton to demand the bonus, makes him
the service mans candidate for ma
tional president"
THE Veterans of Foreign Wars need
a man of Gen. Glassfords personality
and rare executive ability" Connery
said. He could be counted upon to
represent the rank and file in the or
ganiza ton as no other man could. He
is the man we need.
VIII Start Real Boom"
"I have already written to members
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in
Massachusetts, and pretty soon we will
start a real boom for Gen. Glassford."
The general himself, has not indicat-
ed whether he would care to become a
candidate. He says his hands are full
with his present job. But Connery has
talked the matter over quietly with
veterans in Washington and whenever
he mentions Gen GlaSsford as national
commander, he said there is always an
enthusiastic response. The general
meanwhile, has consented to think il
over"
Representative Connery, who left to-
day to attend the Democratic National
Convention, was an enlisted man in
the 26th Division. He was promoted
from private in Co. A of the l01st
Infantry to regimental color sergeant
for meritorious service. He is a mem
Der of Lynn Post No. 240 Of the
Veterans Of Foreign Wars and also is
prominent in the American Legion.
Gen. Glassford was a brigadier gen.
eral in the 26th Division and came out
of the war with a fine record for dis
tinguished service.
An Additional Advantage.
AS a candidate for national president
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, he
would have the additional advantage OF
being a high-ranking officer.
What we need is a fighting man at
the head of the organization, one that
will speak for the enlisted men just as
stoutly as he would for the officers,
said Connery.
