A New Conference

The latest newspapers have brought fresh news about the conference planned by Herriot and MacDonald.

The conference of the Allied states is to assemble on the 16th of July. The participation of Japan and America is assured only in those matters which they themselves will determine. The English dominions will have only a consultative voice. The first point on the agenda will be the matter of putting into effect the reparations programme of the commission of experts. Germany will be invited in order to settle this chief question in practical terms.
