GENERAL CONFERENCE MAY FOLLOW.
LONDON, Decembra 22. Prior to the supreme council meeting at Capnes there will be a series of meetings of business men and financers both in London and in Paris with representatives of the respective governments followed by joint discussions in Paris at which some Ministers will probably be present, The result of these conversations will be reviewed at Cannes and according to British sources it is not improbable that a proposal to ronvoke a general European economic conference will be considered, the Allies deciding what nations are to be invited. There has been no serious difference in London as regards reparations but naturally this cannot be dissociated from the larger question of the economic restoration of Europe.
EUROPEAN CONFERENCE DEEMED UNNECESSARY.
LONDON, December 22, After the final meeting of the Premiers this morn- ing M. Briand stated that agreement had been reached practically on alt points. It is understood that whatever ideas were entertained in responsible quarters regarding the eventual summoning of a European financial con- ference including Germany and Russia they have Low been definitely abandoned.
The Cannes meeting will pay close attention to the economic restoration of Europe therefore a separate con- ference is deemed unnecessary. Moreover Germany and Russia may be consulted diplomatically as occasion re- quires while the American Amb sador, Col. Harvey attend, officially with a watching rief.

The Ratificationists proposed and the secessionists opposed the time limit. During the ensuing heated speeches both sides professed their willingness to sit continuously till a decision was reached. Mr. Collins. foresaw a national advantage in adjourning over Christmas but Mr. McEntee, in moving an amendment to continue till a decision said there was a grave national danger. Eventually the amendment was rejected by 77 votes to 44. The news was received with
