is no cause for alarm about the final result. The reports that Mr:: Snowden has been relentless and truculent are misrepresentations or exaggerations designed to advance particitlar argunienti. Of course, the whole subject of the major reparations has' been complicated by the growing importunity of those interested in the non-German reparations, but it seems to us. that as the non-German reparations represent less than a tenth of the amount in -dispUte they ought not to be allowed to obstruct an agreement on...German reparations. Although a universal agreement is very desirable the Conference ought to make an end of as much controversy as it can, if necessary leaving some, or all, of the non-German reparations over for further consideration.
