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.
