A COMMON COURSE
BEITAIN AND AMERICA
THE ECONOMIC CONFERENCE
LONDON, 12th January.
The Geneva correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says-that as a result of the discussions of the Preparatory Commission for tho. World Economic Conference British and American experts have agreed on the general lines of a common course of action. It is hoped that the French experts will simLliarly produce concrete proposals which will lead to a definite formula. The American delegates hope that the Powers will roach some arrangement regarding war debts before the Economic Conference meets. Their contribution is that if a satisfactory agreement on debts is reached America. will probably entertain the idea o-f lower tariffs, but at the same time she will require Britain to stabilise sterling, if not on the gold basis, then on a determined basis which will aot admit of insecurity. The correspondent* adds: "A feeling of optimism is justified. This is a new Geneva, a Geneva faced .with catastrophe,, and all parties prepared to make concessions."
