Oreat Britain's, policy to the Brussels
economic conference had not yet been
formulated, it was learned' rom t-aa
authoritative source that Premier
Bonar Law is groins to take asOffer
attitude on German indemnity than
that taken by former Premier- Lloyd
George
Under
the new Tory govetnmeht.
Great Britain will swing closer to . the
French viewpoint, but it is not yet
determined how far the British will
go in supporting the French demand
for new military sanctions east of the
Rhine to compel German payments. -.
Opinion exists in semi-official circles
that the British are likely so agree to
the French proposal for a ..two-year
Indemnity moratorium If Germany
meets the conditions which the French
demand. These conditions r so
drastic that, up to the present, Ger
many has rejected them.
" "Whether or not allied war debts will
be discussed along with the Indemnity
issue will not be determined until the
allied premiers meet here 'next week.
Tentative arrangements have - been
made for. this preliminary meeting to
open next Saturday. Those who will
take ipart are Premier Andrew Bonar
Law, Premier Poincare of France,
Premier Mussolini of Italy and Premier
Tbeunia of Belgium. ;

either charge employers s higher rate

.- In 1929 the United States department
of labor, statistics completed - an ex
haustive study of the comparative costs
of exclusive state funds, such as Ore

Monthly Labor Review of Ieeember,
1920. the department declares that em
ployers would have rgaved $XO,&00.000
for themselves In the year 1119 alone
if every state had had an exclusive
stats fund, thus eliminating- the cas
ualty company and self insurers from
this branch of business.
