LONDON, July 22.

It is expected that the Bankers' view will be submilled at to-morrow's Conference.

The sub-committee of the second Committee expect to finish to-night their examination of the question of the restoration of Germany's economi unity, in readiness for consideration at the Con- ference to-morrow.

"The comments of the "French newspapers based on the long depatches of their corresponderis, make clear that, according to views held in Paris, serious difficulties have arisen.

The difficulties are chiefly due to the attitude of the banker, notably the American bankers, towards the protocol drafted by the first conìmittee, which they do not consider sufficiently secures investors in the proposed loan of £40,000,000 to Germany. Even M.
