COOLIDGE PLEASED.
WASHINGTON, July 19. President Coolidge is well satisfied with the progress of the negotiations in London. American Government circles welcome the suggestion that Mr. Owen Young should he chosen as the fiscal agent of the Reparations Commission.
SMILING DELEGATES♪
LONDON, July 19.
The smiling and satisfied appearance of the delegates to the inter-Allied Conference given reason to believe that substantial progress lies behind the colourless and formal communiqués. TR is now known, thanks to the helpful suggestions of other delegates, especially the American, that the first committee has gone a long way towards reconciling the conflicting Anglo-French proposals concerning German derault and sanctions. The main plank has already been adopted, and this provides the Reparations Commission with the addition of an American, who is to be the deciding authority regarding default. Such American delegates will be appointed by the unanimous vote of the Reparations Commissioner, in the event of failure to secure unanimity, shall be appointed by the International Court of Justice. It is generally" believed that the remainder of the agreement is now largely only a matter of adjusting formulae. The centre of activity was this week-end removed
