These were thd obvious develop- ments of the first day in which the 1id wag supposed to have been nailed down tight on the proceedings of the financlal conference, The interpre- tation of the suddenly-expressed de- sire for secrecy and the fact that the principal delegations were consulting their governments is that the nego- tlations have reached the point where decisions of moment must be taken, There {8 a tendency in French political ecircles to attribute the sil- ence of the negotiators to the desire of the Grench government to keep ammunition from the opposition press. The fact that it was M. Clementel who asked for secrecy is much commented upon, and s con= strued by the opposition as meaning the French are once more on the point of giving way on some of the leading questions in conflict. Prominent delegates declined today to indlcate what the program was for the immediate doings of the con- forees, This increased the mystery surrounding the negotiations and accentuated the note of perssimism which has developed in political cir- cles despite the optimistic notes giv- en out yesterday by the heads of the delegations. In the afternoon, Premier Theunis of Belgium’ went into conference with Mr. Churchill and M. Clementel prepared to sacrifice a reasonable part of the Belgian priority.on Ger- man reparations. The Belglan of- ficial view, it is sald, is that Belgium alone of all the allfes has had some- thing real out of reparations and is willing to have two of itas eight per cent of these repearations turned back to the allles for the benefit of either the United States or the small powers.

An Extraordinary Purchase of OPPOSITION PARTY MAY HAVE TO ACT Aventines Now Expected fo Af- tend Italian Deputies” Meeting By The Assoclated Pross. Rome, Jan. 9. — Signs were not wanting today that the Aventine op- position to the Fascisti, despite its actlon yesterday in declaring for continued absentation from parlia- mentary participation, might all put dn an appearance in the chamber when that body meets next | Monday. Both the Glornale D'Italla and the Sereno, two of the leading opposition newspapers, reflect the apparently growing idea that the opposition will remain sterile so long as it lifits | |itself to written protests such as the | long one dssued yesterday without any tangible action to confront the government with fts accusations. The Sereno declares the retreat of the Aventine opposition has produc- ed the desired effect and that the time now has come for action; that the country must have placed before it the alternative of facism or anti- faclsm, with the electors judgment, enter the chamber, This statement, which s belleved to have been authorized by the op- lno.flflnu leaders, is taken to mean |not only the return of the Aventine (absentees to parliamentary work but the determination of the opposition |eral elections. Doubts now are ex- pressed In opposition quarters, how- the elections hefore next fall, Another indication that the ah- chamber is seen in an urgent call from their leaders to be in Rome Monday without fail and to remain on hand subsequently. 'This is in- terpreted as meaning that no decls- fon has yet been reached as to whether the entrance of the Aven- tine members into the chamber should take place Monday or later— at the moment considered most op- portune to produce the desired ef- fect. |NEW BRITAIN G.[_RTIN SENATOR BINGHAN'S OFFICE Miss Viola F.
