Representatives of the principal World war allies, including secretary of. state Stimson, met at Paris and; invited Chancellor Bruening to come there as soon as he can. Prime Minister MacDonald of Eng- land cancelled a visit to Berlin which he was to have made Friday and will remain at London for a meeting there Monday of representatives of the principal world powers. This meet- ing may supersede that of the Young plan experts who were to have gath- ered to dovetail that plan with the Hoover moratorium. At Berlin the banks which were tlosed two days ago by government | degree reopened to meet the mid-/ month payroll. There were no dis-; orders. The cabinet remained inj session considering Chancellor Bruen- | ing’s trip to Paris and London. Hope Crisis Averted | The re-opening of the banks after; ®@ two-day holiday and the curbing of the purchase of foreign currencies, led the German government to hope} it had averted a dangerous financial | crisis. At the same time alarm was felt over the spread of riots by Commun-; ists and jobless through a large part} of the Reich. At least one persun was} killed, a number were injured and} many were arrested.

The vigorous, admonishing voice of Herr Dietrich was heard warning ‘against wild rumors and urging cool- ness and common sense. “Even the strongest government can’t iead & nation that has lost its nerve,” he ald. Rumors that the printing presses! once more were turning out bales of | marks were described as sheer false- hood.
