(By Telegraph., Copyrinks, Telegraphic Mearnges Ordinauer, 4895. Retired, May 6, 444 aan)
London, May 5. WIDELY DIFFERING ESTIMATES are being made in London political circles regarding the probable duration of the World Economic Conference when it assembles in London on June 12.
Calculations vary from six months to two months. Some suggest that the discussions may last for even more than six months.
An idea of the size of the conference may be gauged from the fact that fully two thousand delegates and attendant experts are expected and that the public sittings at the outset will last for a fortnight.
Although much valuable committee work will pro- reed continuously, it is likely that the main conference will adjourn over the greater part of August and the whole of September as many of the delegates will have to go to Geneva during those months to attend the League Assembly.
