LONDON, December 1. One of the most important issues to be decided at the conferences this week between Mr Lloyd George, Mr Leygues, and Signor Sforza, is the fate of Austria, whose financial position recently became most critical, threaten ing her continued existence. Vienna newspapers state that the (Reparations Committee is of the opinion that Austria can be maintained independently of Germany it reconstructed by the investment of $300,000,000 spread over a period of five years. Political and financial circles in London favour Government participation in such an investment on the ground that it is sound insurance against a worse alternative. It is generally believed that the residue of the Austro-Hungarian empire cannot again be thrown in to the political melting pot without great danger of war. Banking and is dustrial interests are also anxious that the slump in British trade should ak be aggravated by the economic upheaval that must inevitably follow the dissolution of Amtria, as Vienna is still regarded as the gateway to Balkan trade. If paralysed, British trade in the Balkans cannot be restored and Japın
employment in Britain will show a corresponding increase.
FUTURE OF GREECE.
LONDON, December 1. The Downing Street conferences between Mr. Lloyd George, “M. ygues and Signor Storza are being resumed to-morrow. It is understood that conversations have hitherto proved no strong divergence of views on cek and other matters. It.secens certain, however, that Greece, under new regime, cannot or very likely will not want to, do all that was This alone will involva a revision d of Greece under M. Venizelos. Arenty of Sevres.
