GERMAN REPLY ARRIVES."
SITUATION SCARCELY IMPROVED.
FURTHER INTER-CHANGE OF VIEWS,
(Reuter's Service)
LONDON, August 15.
The German reply bus done nothing to relieve the immediate doubts as to the fate of the Con- ference!
The reply was received from Berlin this after- noon. It is a lengthy document and took three hours to decode.
It is stated to he of an indefinite nature, necės- Įsitating a further exchange of views.".
RAYS OF HOPE.
It is understood that no agreement was reached as a result of to-night's discussions between the French and Germans, which are being resumed to- morrow. It is stated that the conversations have given hope of a favourable.result.
GERMANS EXPECTED TO ACCEPT.
With entire settlement at stake, including the». benefits Germany can gain by carrying put the Dawes plan und floating the £40,000,000 loan, it is generally thought that the Gemans will recognise that half a loaf is better than no bread, and will accept the Herriot evacuation plan, though possibly they will temporise in order to save Nationalists' faces.
London papers endorse the opinion expressed to the German delegates. by Messrs. MacDonald, Kellogg and other Allied representatives that in view of the state of public opinion in France M. Herriot has gone as far as possiblo in proposing the maximum of one year as the interval before evacuation. The situation is eased by an intima- tion that circumstances might eventually make an earlier evacuation possible.
M. Herriot, at the eleventh hour, made two further concessions by offering to evacuate immediately a number of the more recently occapled places, like the Rhing ports of Mannheim and Wesel and the zones between the bridgeheads on the right bank of the Rhine, and also to withdraw the French and Belgian railwaymen while reserving the right to reinforce the railway: troops in case of emergency.
