Lloyd George Refuses to Con
sider Belgian Compromise
Afternoon Session Aban
doned in Effort to Prevent
1 Break Decisive Day Has
' Arrived Declares Briand.
PARIS, Jan. 28. (IBy the Asso
ciated Press). The divergence of
views of the members of the allied
supreme council regarding German
reparations caused an Interruption
pf the conference today, and In sqme
quarters It Is regarded as In danger
of breaking up.
; PARIS, Jan. 28. ('By the Asso
ciated Press.) The supreme coun
cil of the allies reached the most criti
cal stage of Its deliberations this af
ternoon. The crisis came over the
question of finding the total amount
of reparations due from Germany and
the methods of payment.
The session of the council which
was to have begun at 5:30 o'clock
this afternoon was abandoned.
The optimistic feeling of this fore
noon when the members ot the spe
cial reparations committee appoint
ed yesterday expressed pleasure with
their progress,-waa Boon dissipated
when the Brttish prime minister,
Lloyd George, found the projects Un
der discussion by the committee
wore entirely unsatisfactory to him.
He'sent at once for Premier Briand
anil conferred with him for an hour
and a half.
-' Compromise Proposed
; PARIS, Jan. 2S.i Progress was re
ported jby the! expert. committee on
German reparations appointed yes
terday by the supreme council, when
the' committee adjourned after a two
hour discussion. ;
' The basis of the discussion was
the Belgian proposal presented by M.
Jaspar, Belgian foreign mlnlBter, that
Germany be compelled to make an
nual reparation payments of bIx bll
l'on gold markB, as: a maximum and
threo billion marks as a minimum.
As outlined by 'M. .Jaspar his plan,
would not fix the nupiber of annual
payments, but would leave this to be
determined later.
i The Belgian plan was presented to
Mr. Lloyd George after the committee
had concluded Its first session. The
French official .viewpoint is that If
the British prime minister agrees to
these terms in prlnclpld, the commit
tee will 'be able to put the finishing
touches upon the plan late today.
PARIS, Jan'. 28 Representatives
of Great Britain,. France, Italy, Bel
gium and Japan attending the ses
sion of the supreme , . allied council
here, faced today -what premier
Briand ' of Prance described as tlie
"decisive day" of tho meeting. The
discordant views' on the reparations
question had brought; about a vir
tual deadlock, and it seemed the cul
minating period of the conference
had arrived.
At the meeting of the expert com
mittee examining the amount and
time of German reparations payment
was set forth Belgium's viewpoint.
It was urged that Germany be com
pelled to pay a maximum of from' five
billion- to six ibllllon gold marks an
nually. '. ' '
The committee was expected to
reach Us decision today.
