ONE ISSUE. BRITISH AND U.S.A. LOANS. (Received Wednesday, 7.30 p m.) LONDON, August 26. The longer the debt.; discussions: continue, the more obvious it becomes that the British, and American settlements ha,ng together. . The. "Daily Telegraph's" diplomatic correspondent hints that some means may be found of co-ordinating in the meantime, the newt British minimum, fourteen millions being mentioned. The correspondent states that Mr. Churchill would rather have this sum from France direct than twelve, millions direct, plus six millions nominal from the Dawes plan. M. Caillaux, however, felt he was quite unable to agree and showed despondency, which was not dispelled by a talk at luncheon with Mr. Houghton and Mr. Chamberlain. The French Minister contemplated going to Paris this morning, but changed* his mind, "although," concludes the correspond dent, "any British concession below fourteen millions- would seem incredible."

CtITTUSG TtOC CAKE. MAY BE MORE FOR ENGLAND. (Received Wednesday, 8.25 p.m.) LONDON, August 24. After to-day's conversation with Mr. Churchill, the only, concrete statement made by M. Caillaux was that the present Anglo-French negotiations had not ended in definite agreement, but he would return to Paris with a new proposal, which he would submit to his colleagues. The American Ambassador gave a luncheon to M. Caillaux. at .■the French Embassy, and afterwards had a long conversation. Tlie interview is regarded as important, as if M. Caillaux is able to gefc a definite indication of American claims, he may be able to increase the offer to Britain.
