(Received January 4, at 11.30 a.m.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr Philip Snowden) and the President of the'Board* of Trade (Mr William Graham), the chief British delegates to the adjourned reparations conference, arrived at The Hague this morning. A preliminary session of the conference, due to take place this evening, will be preceded by a private meeting of the delegates or the six inviting Powers to consider the question of procedure. _ , Prior to bis departure from London last night Mr Snowden, in a Prsfes interview, said: “I do not think our work will be as arduous as it was , last time. The preparation has been much more thorough; The various committees have got through an immense amount of work, and it is left for the delegates to fit together the loose ends. Among the questions to bo considered are ratification of the Young Plan, the international bank scheme, and nonGerman reparations, but I do nob expect that we shall be nearly so busy. The international bank question is a highly complicated matter, but I think it will be adopted.”
