THE COAL STRIKE.
London, April 19.
WEDNESDAY, AFRIL 27, 1921.
A significant statement was made in the House of Commons-late last night which it is thought Will increase the prospects of a settic- ment of the coal situation. Mr. Lloyd George declared that, although the Government is unable to accept indefinite liability, it has not excluded the possibility of a subsidy for a permanent settlement. The Northumberland Miners' Association instructed its delegates to the National conference which meets on the 22nd April, to ask the Executive Committee to meet again the conlowners and the Govern, ment in order to ascertain the temporary wages settlement they are prepared to offer provided the question of a National Wage Board and pool is discussed later.
The fact that the coatowners met this morning and proceeded after a short conference to the Board of Trade to interview the Secretary of Mines is the only indication of any movement with a view to a solution of the drifting situation. It is surmised that the mineowners will take an early opportunity to respond to the roquest of the Miners' Federation for elucidation of Lord Gainford's offer to forego profits mentioned on April 15th, The Federation says that before the offer can be treated seriously it must explicitly Le stated whether the owners in suggesting readjustments of the wage schedules are prepared to agree that richer districts must assist the poorer and contends that the offer is worthless as it at present stands.
GERMANY'S LIABILITIES.
Paris, April 15.
According to the latest advices, Germany, as the result of the failure of her recent overtures to the Cabinets in Berne, Prague, Washington and Brussels has abandoned the attempt to find an intermediary to convey to the Allies her new counter-proposals which are believed be largely a recapitulation of the proposals in London on March 7th. Meanwhile, the Eeparations Commission is completing an estimate of the amount of reparations to be claimed from Germany on May 1st and French experts are continuing the examination of the economic and military penalties to be applied in the event of Germany's continued refusal to meet her obligations. According to the Echo de Paris fresh territory is to be occupied in the Ruhr region which comprises the district of Elberfeld, a totul area of 75 kilometres long and 25 kilometres wide with a population of 4,000,000. It is believed that seven divisions will be ample für the task.
