BRITISH TO DEMANDFINAL REPARATIONSSHOWDOWNPARISBonar Law Going to Parley

Armed With Plan forFull Settlement.

MORATORIUM AND CUTIN AMENDS IN PROGRAM

Britain Sees Isolation of France inHughes Speech.Not to Block

Ruhr Invasion.

By the A>x»« iated Press.LONDON', December 30..Since the

fidiournment of the allied premiers'meeting here on December'11 in orderto avoid an open break between GreatBritain and France 011 the subject ofreparations there has been a flood ofrumors and reports concerning thesolution of the deadlock that PrimeMinister Bonar Daw was likely topropose when the allied representativesresumed their discussions in

*. faris.only today, however, was an

authoritative statement forthcomingfrom official circles. This was to theeffect that the British premier would

, go to Paris next Monday armed witha new plan for a final and completeaettlement of the whole question ofGermany's war obligations.

French Drift Away.Immediately after the London breakdownDowning street's hopes were

that the French attitude would change,but the last fortnight has shown thetrend of French official opinion to beaway from instead of toward theBritish, with the result that Mr. Bonar

, Law yesterday presented to his cabineta plam which it is stated comprisesthe utmost limit of British conces-

In its broad principles the plan isSaid to be as follows:

First. Any reparations programagreed upon in Paris must be a finalone which will put a definite end tothe wranglings of the last three yearsand give an opportunity for the economicreconstruction of Europe.

%Moratorium Held Eiieatial*

Second. A moratorium for Germany isessential for a period of from two tofour years, in which tio^ Germany,must balance her budget, stabilise themark and iundergo general financialreform under allied supervision, but notiinilce 11in<4 ro^<kivAr«hln

Third. Reduction of the reparationstotal to approximately £2,500,000.000,which, if not forthcoming after Germanyis given a fair chance to makegood her obligations, will be obtainedby an ascending scale of economicpenalties.British official circles discount reportsfrom Paris that the French

have formed definite, unchangeableplans to be enforced against the Germansbeginning January 15.

Surprise for Polaeare.

It is stated that .Premier PoineaTeis likely to be surprised to find Mr.Bonar Law in full sympathy with himagainst the German tactics of evasionand non-fulfillment of pledges, theonly differences of opinion being inthe method or obtaining reparationspayments, the British remaining asunconvinced as ever that the Frenchplans for control of the Germansources of production will result inanything but social and economic upheavalsin the districts taken over.The speech of the American Secretaryof State last night is taken by

the British as full support of theirstand, and, while his recommendationfor a non-political boarcl of experts10 fix the reparations total is not new,the British consider that' his statementplaces France in an isolatedposition. ,

Vnt Wnrrlrd Ht Mnnanllnl.

The absence of Premier Mussolini ofItaly is not likely to affect the Parisconference, according.to the Britishview. It Is recalled that Signor Mussolinialso announced that it wouldbe impossible foT him to attend theDondon meeting, but that he arrivedon time. The appointment of the MarquisDelia Torretta as Mussolini'saubstltute is a more definite step Indicatingthat the premier will notappear, but', inasmuch as the real allied"differences lie between theFrench and the English, the Italianrremier will not be needed, accordingto the British view, unless a finalagreement is reached, when he couldbe hurriedly summoned to affix hissignature.

Thennla Moat Seeded.

As leader of the fasclsti movement,Signor Mussolini presents a pic-turesque ugure ana uuraas popularattention, but It la pointed out thatthe preeence of the Belgian premier,Af. Theunls, la faT more essential, fortn Paris, as during the recent Londonconversations and thojcopference herelast August, Belgium is expected totake the role of mediator, seizingupon every point likely to bringFrance and Oreat Britain info accord.British officialdom is unwilling to

consider the possibility of a deadlockat Paris, for such a result wouldbe regarded as disastrous. The alliedrepresentatives must agree amongthemselves, for. It is pointed out.there is no hope of assistance fromAmerica.The British debt funding commissionIs not expedted to obtain definiteresults which could possibly have

a beneficial effect upon the Paris ne-gotiatlonsby January 15, when thetemporary moratorium for Germanyends and the original reparationsschedule of 1921, involving.the pay-,ment of £100.000,000 annuaUlS isagain effectit^ rmt^men^^Bg the

NAVY BILL PASSESSENATE WITH ARMSLIMITATIONCLAUSENo Effort Is Made to ReviveDebate on Borah Proposal

for Economic Parley. .

ALL ATTEMPTS TO CUTPERSONNEL ARE BALKED

Extraneous Speeches Bring Chargeof Filibustering From Senator

Sjnoot.

The Navy appropriation bill, with theHouse provision unchanged requestingthe President to negotiate with GreatBritain, France, Italy and Japan lor a

further limitation of naval armaments.was passed Dy tne oenate yajtcroaj^afternoon. No effort was made to resumedebate on the Borah amendmentseeking an International economic con-'

ference. which the Idaho senator withdrewFriday following assurances byadministration leaders that the Presidentwas giving the economic situationabroad serious attention. The bill car- ,

ries approximately % 295.605.009.Threatened efforts to amend the

House limitation or naval armamem*<

provision did not materialise yesterdav.Senator King of Utah, democrat, didnot offer his amendment proposing a

land and sea armament limitation conference.I*. 8. to Repair \«Ty Ships.

Prior to the passage of the bjli by theSenate an amendment offered by SenatorBrookhart of Iowa, republican, was

adopted, which is designed to keep inthe government navy yards work on

Navy vessels, guns, etc., which, it issaid, now is let out to private Arms inconsiderable degree. On motion of SenatorBrookhart the Senate struck fromthe bill a proviso which would permitthe letting or contracts to outsiue concernswhen in the opinion of the authoritiesthe time and facilities at thegovernment yards did not permit of thework being done there promptly.Senator Brookhart said that it had

been found that the large contracts werelet to outside concerns on this ground.He insisted that the work should bedone In the government yards:Would Manufacture buns and Parts.Senator Brookhart also had an

amendments which provided that allguns, gun parts, rellnlng of guns andgeneral repairs to guns, torpedoes,torpedo parts and all other articles ofsupplies of the Navy for the manufactureor production of which anynavy yard Is especially equipped shallbe manufactured at the governseen t

navy yards. He withheld this amendment,however, believing that his firstamendment would largely cover theground -which he intended to oover.He said, h<Avever, that if it did not.he and Senator Jones of Washingtonwere prepared to put it forward whenthe next Navy bill is under conaideration.

Ship Bill Brought l>.After passage of the naval bill the

administration shipping bill, whiahhad been laid aside temporarily, traa

brought up again and placed in positionfor resumption of debate whenthe Senate meets again Wednesday.Protracted speeches yesterday on extraneoussubjects resulted In a chargeby Senator Sraoot, republican. Utah,that filibustering was In progress.The speechmaking stopped soon afterSenator Sjnoot's statements, all senatorsuniting in expediting the passageof the naval bill. Senator Jones, republican.Washington. In charge ofthe shipping bill, gave notice, however,that Wednesday he would callup his resolution to create a specialcommittee to revise the Senate rules,with a view to checking future fillbusters.Important changes in the naval bill

made by the Senate included the additionof f 1.000,000 for naval reservetraining purposrs and $560,000 additionalfor torpedo construction, thelatter designed to maintain the New-port, R. I., and other torpedo station*.The Senate, without a record vote,

rejected an amendment by SenatorMcKellar, democrat, Tennessee, to cutthe navy's enlisted personnel of 66.000men authorised by the House to 67,000tnen. The present strength Is 66,000men, but Senators McKellap-and Kingdeclared it unnecessarily Urge andout of proportion to the British navy.Other amendments rejected included

proposals by Senator King to reducethe Marine Corps and also to prohibituse of marines in Haiti and Domini- '
