PEACE TASKS.
NEGOTIATIONS FAIL
| TROUBLE OVER COAL DEMAND. • By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright, Received July 14, 515 p.m. Spa, July 13. Marshal Foch and Sir Harry Wilson were summoned in extreme urgency, as the German offer of coal deliveries was considered insufficient, and pourparlers were discontinued.—Aus.-M.Z. Cable Assn.
NO AGREEMENT IN SIGHT. COERCIVE MEASURES PROBABLE. Received July 14, 11.35 p.m. London, July IS, The Daily Chronicle's Spa correspondent says it is hardly possible to hope that the deadlock will be solved by an agreement. .The German delefates are listless, like a bankrupt whose case cannot be made worse. Unless 'some unexpected interposition occurs the Allies will certainly be driven to take the coercive measures repeatedly fore-shadowed.—Aus.-N.sfc Cable Assn.
COAL' AND REPARATIONS. A DEADLOCK REACHED. Received July 14, 11.40 a.m. Spa, July 13. A communique states that the heads of the Allied delegation conferred with Dr. Fehrenbach and Herr Simons as regards coal and reparations. It was decided that the Reparations Commission should meet the Allied and German delegates an;] experts to examine the German plans and report to the Conference. The delegations exchanged proposals reparding the tonnage of coal deliveries without result, and it was thereforo declared that the Reparation Commission's figures must be adhered to. The Allies spontaneously announce that, in consequence, of 'information with regard to under-nourishment of mine-workers, they are prepared to study the question of improvement of their food.
Regarding reconstruction of the devastated regions, Germany proposed that the work be undertaken by a real international colonisation syndicate of contractors to carry out agriculture, railways, etc., and erect new homes. The syndicate should be empowered to invite contractors and workmen of the Allied and Associated Powers and Germany to participate, and should be conducted on business, not bureaucratic lines, without undue profits. If the scheme is accepted in principle, a conference of representatives of the Governments and countries wishing to participate with representatives of the population of the devastated region should be held immediately to consider the practical execution of the scheme. —Reuter.
