Every newspaper Jas far as T have seen backs you. All parties in the House of Commons stand by you, 1 hope most sincerely. that "your colleagues on' the Financial Commission will see that they have to face a position when the most elementary considerations} lof fairplay as between country and jeountry compel a reconsideration fof some of the recommendations of the report. Our action up to the present in' promoting a settlement]
Surope on the basis of goodwill is proof that we wish the Conferlence to_ succeed both financially, bat we ha ancial Commission opened in a calmer atmosphere the result of the clearing personal misunderstandings, the chances of settlement still seemed most remote. The vigorous. wording of Mr.' Ramsay MacDonald's telegram to Mr. Snowden did not improve matters. The decision to Adjourn was reached after speeches by Herr Curtius, (Germany) Signor Pirelli (Italy) and -M. -Loucheur (France).
M. Lotchear had not finished his statement when Mr. Snowden moved the adjournment.
The rumour that Mr. Plerpont Morgan is mediating appears to be baseless. It is unknown even that 'Y}he is at The Hague.
