Aug.
8.
Rt.
Hon.
Philip
Snowden,
chancellor
of
the
exchequer
of
the
Labor
Government
of
Great
Britain,
declared
categorically
today
in
the
meeting
of
the
financial
committee
of
the
conference
of
nations
that
Great
Britain
would
not
give
way
on
the
demand
for
an
increased
share
in
the
German
reparations
money
and
that
his
Government
regarded
the
point
as
fundamental.
Mr
Snowden
previously
declared
that
Britain
would
not
agree
to
continue
making
sacrifices
while
other
nations
benefited.
The
conflicting
viewpoints
on
the
Young
reparations
plan
were
submitted
to
the
committees
in
secret
session
with
the
hope
of
a
reconciliation
between
England
on
the
one
hand
and
France
and
Italy
on
the
other.
The
:
British
attitude
is
supported
by
the
sma'ler
powers
in
this
;
measure.
Germany
is
keeping
out
of
the
argument.
