Mr. Snowden's Suggestion. Following Mr. Snowden's rejection of the four Powers' proposals yes terday, the latter told the German delegates that if Germany would re- nounce her claim to a share of the 300,000,000 Marks left by the over- Iapping of the Young and Dawes plans and agree to an increase of the unconditional annuities in the return for a corresponding decrease, in conditional annuities, the confer ence will be saved.
Herr Helferding and Herr Curting thereafter visited Mr. Snowden and explained their position. They said they saw no reason why Germany
should make further sacrifices be- vond the Young Plan, for the benefit of the four Powers, but that tho Germans were willing to make con- cessions which would not increase Germany's financial concessions for example, on a definite promire from France of speedy evacuation of the Rhineland.
Mr. Snowden's reply is not known but British circles believe that he will insist that the concessions must come from the four Powers and not from Germany.
