Demand
for
Increase

of

Reparations
Payments
THE
HAGUE,
Aug.
28.
The
reparations
conference,
after
a
month's
labor,
early
today
reached
an
agreement
by
which
it
may
proceed
to
replace
the
Dawes
plan
of
settlement
with
the
Young
plan.
The
agreement,
which
is
tentative
until
accepted
by
Germany,
is
generally
regarded
as
a
victory
for
Rt.
Hon.
Philip
Snowden,
whose
firm
laconic
"no"
dominated
the
conference.
By
the
terms
of
the
agreement
Britain
is
to
receive
between
seventy
and
eighty
per
cent
of
the
additional
share
of
German
reparations,
which
Snowden
asked,
and
will
also
receive
a
sizable
cut
in
German
unconditional
annuities.
Broad'y
the
agreement
gives
the
London
government
nine
and
a
half
million
dollars,
against
the
eleven
and
a
half
demanded.
A
third
phase
of
the
agreement
was
concessions
to
Britain
in
payment
in
kind,
among
these
being
an
agreement
by
Italy
to
purchase
a
million
tons
of
British
coal
annually
for
state
railroads
on
reparations
account.
LONDON,
Aug.
28.
The
British
press
and
prominent
public
men
today
'auded
the
achievement
of
Snowden
at
The
Hague.
One
Liberal
newspaper
stated
editorially:

that
