PROBLEMS OF GERMANY.

MORATORIUM QUESTION. SEEKING A SOLUTION. I NEW PLAN LIKELY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyris Received August 18, 8.45 p.m. Paris, August 17. There are increasingly strong hopes that a compromise on the moratorium problem will eventually be reached on lines totally different from those die- ! cussed in London. The Reparations Commission pur- j posely delayed meeting until the feverish atmosphere had died awaw, but the j commissioners met infer many to-day. ! They are making every effort to avoid I an Anglo-French rupture, which a direct i vote for or against a moratorium might produce. It is understood the commissioners i are already deliberating on several com- 1 promise plans, which, while avoiding a. rupture, would yield more, and would be productive of the pledges M. Poincare demanded. It is believed an authorised German Cabinet Minister will be heard by the commission before a decision is reached- The first efforts will be an invitation to Germany to offer acceptable guarantees voluntarily in order to save herself financially.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. POLICY OF BELGIUM. LOYALTY TO THE ENTENTE. Received August 18, 5.5 p.m. Brussels, August 17. A meeting of Cabinet, after hearing M. Theunis and M.
