BRITAIN FIGHTS PROPOSED CUT i IN REPARATIONS y Fear Effect on Voters If Conservatives Accept Reduction. BY SAMUEL DASHIELL l nited Press Staff Correspondent PARIS. May 8— Britain's domes- ' tic politics may provoke anew crisis in the already shaky conference of financial experts who are trying to find a solution to the postwar economic problems. Although the conference was resumed today without any outward evidence of anew danger to its success, it developed that the British delegation, headed by Sir Josiah Stamp, might oppose Owen D. Young s new compromise plan by which, it was hoped, an agreement between Germany and the allies would be reached. British conservatives would not be happy to face the voters in the impending general elections after accepting further reductions in its reparations share of $220,000,000. Stamp told a group of British journalists today that he would opi pose the Young compromise plan if !it considered reducing Britain’s ' quota. On top of the French and Belgian coolness toward the new Young project, this letest development does not augur well for the success of the conference. Nevertheless, Young continued in the hope of overcoming even the latest obstacles. Young distributed a supplementary memorandum today tending to explain how he arrived at the figures contained in his compromise plan. It was assumed that he indicated ! how the reparations should be divided among the chief creditor powers, and it was this phase of the memorandum which may stir up all the trouble among the British dele-
gates. who seem determined that j the proportions decided upon at the Spa agreement be lived up to. The London press hinted that the conference was about to break up over Stamp's announcement, but the American delegation regarded it as an effort to forestall any further British sacrifices and as British election propaganda. PRESIDENT'S UNOFFICIAL SECRETARY UNDER FIRE Seek to Force Walter Newton to \Resign Seat in House. B / Scrippn-ll<ncard Xcicspaper Allia icc WASHINGTON. May B.—Pressure is being brought to bear on Representative Walter Newton of Minnesota to resign his seat in the house. The pressure is coming both from Minneapolis, the district Newton represents, and from senate and house members. Newton has often been referred to during the present session of congress as the most powerful man on the floor. He is occupying unofficially the post of secretary to the i President, but draw's only one salary, that as representative in congress. He comes directly to the capital from his office at the White House. Some critics contend that to have Newton continue in this dual capacity is a violation of the spirit of the Constitution.

Consider the Advantages of Asphalt Ail Asphalt wearing surface is waterproof. An Asphalt wearing surface resists temporalur<changes and expands and contracts without injury. An Asphalt wearing surface is resilient, serves as a cushion, takes up the shock of heavy loads and prevents the foundation from cracking and crumbling. An Asphalt or Asphaltic Concrete pavement is the only pavement that can be successfully repaired. Asphalt can be laid successfully on cither. Portland cement or Macadam base. Asphalt is dustless and noiseless, absorbs grease and grime without marring its beauty and lends character and distinction to any street.
