The newspaper comments on the conference of Allied Financo Ministers suggest that M. Clemente! (Minister of Finance) is en- deavouring to induce Mr. Church!!! to modify his attitude of strict adherence to Mr. Balfour's note and adopt the more accommodating note of Lord Curzon (Leader of the House of Lords), issued in August 1923, which was, in brief, a etatement of the amount that France would still owe if Britain were to deduct from the annuities, under the Dawes plan, her share of 22 per cent,

The papers ulo declare that Mr. Churchill discussed with Mr. Loan and Mr. Kellorg, a compromise for the Folution of the Anglo-American friction, and suggest that If the Bank of England view to obtains from Ameries cne mard goid dollars, with a equalising the Anglo-American exchanges, the British Government will ratse no farther objections to the American clains regarding reparations and will adept a more generous' attitude towards her debtors.
