GERMANS TO BE INVITED.

ANO

PLENARY SESSION.

Service)

LONDON, July 287: A plenary session of the Conference was held .this afternoon It sat for one and a half hours.

It is understood that it was decided to refer the question of inviting the German representatives to the heads of the five Allied delegations.

There was a certain amount of disagreement over the Report of the First Committee on the question of German defant. It was decided to call a further meeting of the Committee on Wednesday.

INVITATION TO GERMANS. Reuter's Agency learns that the Germans will be invited to the Conference immediately an inter- alfied agreement has been reached." The Repara- tions Commission will be invited to participate in the deliberations in London..

NO MATERIAL CHANGE.

A meeting of the British Empire delegation to the inter-Allled Conference was held following a conference of the heads of the Allied delegations who are preparing for this afternoon's plenary session.. Up to now it is gathered that the position has not materially changed since Friday. There is no official cognisance that any solution to the question of the bankere' security has come within sight, while the position on the question of the rail- ways in the occupied territory remains the same.

Sir Joseph Cook acted as member of the British Empire delegation...

COMMUNIQUE ISSUED.

WASHINGTON, July 27. Foreign Office at Toheran, indicates that the Minister Kornfield's Note, to the Persian United States expects Persia to meet the expenses of sending an American warship to bring home the late Mr. Imbrie's body. Persia is also required to furnish military guards at the American Legation so long as necessary.

In the House of Commons, Mr. F. W. Jowett, the First Commissioner of Works, replying to Mr. W. Foot Mitchell, Unionist Member for Saffron Walden, said the scheme for the renewal of sub! leases granted to arms on a 99 years' tenure in the British Concessions in Tientsin, Hankow.Cuinkiang, Canton, Amoy and Kiukiang had been approved by the Government, who were satisfied the terms offer ed were fair and reasonable. The Government, in arriving at the decision, had carefully weighed points such as the competition of foreign firms.

Replying to Rt. Hon. Sir Harry Saniael, Mr.

The Note adds that the continuance of Diploma-^ Jowett said holders of 64% of the lots had indicated tie and consular representation in Persia, will be their acceptance of the terms.

At the annual meeting of the China' Associa- tion, Mr. Landale, the Chairman (according to a message dated July 23), referring to the state- ment in the House of Commons, on July 16, by Mr. F. W. Jowett, First Commissioner of Works, that only 65% per cent. of the lease-holders opposed the new terras, said he had telegraphed to Tientsin about the matter.

That morning he had received a reply, stating that Tientsin and. Hankow alone, represented, 60 per cent, of the dissentients.,

Apparently Mr. Jowett had transposed the figures, but as he was willing to receive a deputa ton, he could be asked to explain his statement. Mr. Landale hoped eventually some reasonable terms for the renewal of leases would be offered.
