LONDON, MAY 31. R. BRUENING'S BREACH WITH PRESIDENT HINDENBURG, LEADING TO THE RESIGNA- TION OF THE GERMAN CHANCELLOR AND HIS CABINET, HAS CAUSED A PROFOUND SHOCK IN EUROPE, PARTICULARLY IN BRITAIN, WHERE IT IS FELT THAT MR. RAMSAY MACDONALD'S HOPES OF AN ECONOMIC UNDERSTANDING, AS WELL AS A WAR DEBTS AND REPARATIONS] AGREEMENT, HAVE -BEEN DASHED TO THE GROUND.
No attempt is now being made to hide the fact that! the Prime Minister's purpose in pressing for an exten-{ sion of the scope of the Lausanne Conference was to bring the United States to the conference table at the eleventh hour. America has repeatedly refused to par- ticipate and a fresh statement to this effect was issued by the State Department to-day consequent upon Mr. Rámsay MacDonald's Doily Mail interview,
But for the crisis in Germany, however, further efforts might have been made to induce Washington to change its mind. The unfortunate development upsets
