FORTHCOMING ECONO3IIC CONFERENCE.
In Europe, especially, there has been a drawing closer together of the various countries, and there is little doubt that there is now an eager desire on the part of most of the European countries, and probably on the part of America as well, for the World Economic Conference which, it is hoped, will result in a united effort on the part of the various nations to deal with some of the causes of slack trade, such as exchange restrictions, tariff barriers, unnecessary hoarding of gold, &c., while so far as the European Allies are concerned there seems little doubt of agreement being reached with regard to Reparation Pay- ments, if only the way is not barred by an unreasonable attitude on the part of the United States with regard to War Debts due to that country.
