THE

Hon.
Phillip
Snow-den
told
the
other
creditor
nations
at
the
reparations
conference
today
that
if
they
could
not
offer
something
more
substantial
toward
Britain's
request
there
was
no
use
going
on
with
the
conference.
The
chancellor,
who
had
been
demanding
a
return
to
the
Spa
percentages
in
reparations,
as
contained
in
the
Dawes
plain,
repeated
the
previous
statement
that
Britain
could
not
make
any
further
sacrifice.
After
refusing
the
compromise
offer
of
France,
Italy,
Belgium
and
Japan
to
aJow
Britain
an
increased
share
in
the
German
reparations
payments,
the
chancellor
claimed
the
offer
would
amount
to
only
about
20
per

instead
of
