The pl..H In-, eludes the suggestions of I’rt Hoover, which Secretary Stimson said were really both American nnd Brit ish in conception. Here, briefly sum marized, are the recommendations adopted: \ " First—That the central banks and the World Bunk for International Set* tlements extend the $100,000,(XX) Ger- man credit for a further, period Of three months. Second—That prjVate banks be urged to leave their credits now in Germany In German hands for the present. Third—That a world bank coiumlt- tee be appointed to consider the ques tions of short-term loans to Germany and the conversion of existing short term loans to long-term loans. Fourth—That the conference “note with satisfaction” the action of Ger man Industrialists In creating a re serve of apprQxjmaVely $125,000.000 on the German gold discount bank. After the conference aujouryed. Chancellor-Rruenrpg and Minister Cur- tlus consulted the American delegates concerning the possibility of arrang ing a new long-term loan. If France refused to participate, they thought the loan might be made by America, Great Britain and several other coun tries. Herr Bruenlng also conferred with Premier Laval of France on the pos sibility of the latter visiting Berlin within the next three months. That France is not at all in aympathy with the Hoover credits proposal was made clear by Premier Laval when he informed the confe^nce: “Our coun try saved herself in 1026. That Is an example which Germany should - medi tate upon." Prime Minister Ramsay McDonald presided over the sessions of the con ference, and at its,opening he aought to impress on th* delegates the Im perative need of speedy and decisive action. “If we cannot find a solu-’ tlon of the present crisis," said he, “no one can foretell the political and financial dangers that will ensue. It will be difficult to stay the flood be fore It has overwhelmed, the whole of central Europe, with consequences social and political, as well as purely financial, which no man can estimate. “Time is against us. Every day'adds to the risks of a collapse which will be outside of human control.” nnouncement is made by ti>e Insurgent government at Canton, A China, Hint it will begin operations uguinst the Nationalist government on August 1, when Gen.
