"The 1929 Conference of The Hague" Gets Down to Business (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 6.-- The first business session of what is officially called "The 1929 Con- ference of the Hague" opened here at four o'clock this afternoon. In the words of Premier Briand of France, the conference got down to work in the hope of giving "a new decisive impulse to peace by liquidating the last important prpb- lems of the great war." It is assumed the Young plan will be given first place on the agenda since on its adoption depends the other question that will come before the conference under the agreement arrived at by the powers at Geneva. This question is the evacuation of allied troops from the Rhineland where they were stationed under the provisions of the Versailles treaty. Smooth sailing for the Young plan is hardly to be expected, but the attitude attributed to the British de- legation is regarded in some circles as a matter of tactics. It is not thought that Chancellor Snowden feels he has .any real chance of bringing about a revision of the Young plan, but it is admitted he is likely to make use of the demand for revision to obtain other advan- tages during the negotiations. Protests from Greece and Jugoslav- ia against the cut made:in their share of reparations may .give the is thought they cannot stand out against the argument that without sacrifices: by every- body, Europe's troubles can never be settled.
