I The 'French premier M. Eriand fav
org Immediate action on the ground
that the Germans are evading the
iterms of the treaty while the Brit
ish and Ralians have advised against
precipitate movements. After a long
conference on ttie proposed economic

Italian and Belgian experts partici-
pated a unanimous decision was
reached.
Germans Are Despondent.
Members of the Gorman delegation
were despondent when their hopes
that differences might anise between
the allies .to lighten their countrys
burden were dashed hy the finding
of the conference. One of them re-
marked: '
"Well perhaps tOat is the only
way out. If Briand yielded hia gov-
ernment would fail;' if we yielded
our government would fail; there-
fore the only course is for tho al-
