GERMAN REPLY CREATES GRAVE SITUATION,
T
LONDON, July 13. A Spa communique states that at the conference Herr Simons advanced the serious difficulties facing his government as regards-greater ccal tonnage until it obtained the assent of the owners and miners to increase the output. He submitted the German proposals for the delivery of 56,000 tons per working day from next October and 68,000 tons per working day from October, 1921, conditional upon the possibility of improving the feeding and housing of the workmen. He attributed the cause of the fall in the output to the position in Upper Silesia, and con“) tended that the Allied coal demands could better be satisfied if the plebiscite there was abandoned and mining agreemerits with the Poles and Bohemians were substituted.
MATTERS OF EXTREME URGENCY.
The Belgian Premier, M. Delacroix, on behalf of the "Allies, expressed deep disappointment. He said that the reply created a grave situation. M. Delacroix reminded Herr Simons that the Reparations Commission had already reduced the Treaty provisions as regards co from 3,250,000 to 2,400,000 tons a month and of the Allies manifest #llingness still jo hear German explanations and offers. In view of the German Govern- ment's attitude, which took account of neither the Treaty nor the Repars. tions Commission's programme, and made totally inadequate offers, the conference would be suspended to enable the Allies o examine the situation. The communique concludes": Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Wilson have been summoned to Spa for matters of extreme urgency,
