I Plan Experts’ Meeting By Associated Fresi. London, Oct. 26— America’s deci sion to lend its advice and co-opera tion in a conference for the settle ment of the German reparation mud dle seems to have lighted Europe out of the slough of depression. Secretary Hughes’ prompt and de cisive response to Marquis Curzon s plea for American assistance has given impetus to a situation which has heretofore been marked by utter inertia, and for the first time British officials today began to see a rift in the mists which have so long en veloped the problem. America’s voice, stressing the 1m -perative need of finding a suitable financial plan to prevent economic distaster in Europe, found prompt echoes in Paris, Brussels and Rome, for it became known late this after noon at the British foreign office that Frtince, Belgium and Italy had all accepted the principle of an ad visory conference of experts. < While the British authorities would have preferred a full conference of ministers to liquidate the reparation troubles, they hope the preliminary conference of experts will lead to a larger council of allied and American statesmen._ France’s consent to enter the ad visory conference of experts will in volve the question of acceptance of the American principle that the inter allied debts and German reparations must be divorced, a point upon which Premier Poincare heretofore has dif fered from Great Britain and the United States. France will also have to face the question of reducing the amount of indemnity expected from Germany under tiitf ^ oisaijies treaty, stucb *n the past has been fixed at 6,800,000, 000 pounds sterling, or 132,000,000,000 gold marks. This sum, and the ques tion of granting a moratorium to Ger W)(*iny, were the points which led to the failure of the last expert bankers’ commission, of which J. mi|tted a pe tition for inspection, but It was re turned because It failed to Include affidavits from the circulators. This is being remedied and the petition will be submitted agnln. «- ■ -■ --- ■■ ' ■ I Clarinda Poultry Show. Clarlnda, la..
