The Hague, Aug. 5 tJV-Repre- cntatives of six governments gathered here to-day prepared to in- to-morrow a conference vhich may write a closing chapter 3 much of the post-war finance The conference is that which igning of the Young reparations agreement on June 7 at Paris made necessary. That four months' long conference evolved a plan for liquidation of Germany's bill for the World War, but left for a future conference, that which begins here tomorrow, its application. The problems in application of the Young reparations plan principally problems involving political con-siderations which the Young committee of financial experts considered it had no mandate to meet. What Young Experts Did.

The Young financial experts, signing their agreement at Paris June 7, said in effect to their governments: "Here is a plan of payment Germany, and a tentative division of the German payments among the creditors, which we consider financially and economically sound. "The problems of replacing the Dawes plan already in operation, of determining what concessions, if any, must be made to Germany to enable her to meet her obligations, and of other phases of the work, are oolitical rather than financial problems, and best will be left to another conference." Now Politicians Step In. The conference at Paris in which the Young reparations plan was evolved was a conference of finan-' xperts, none of them intimately "'1th the government of nt which begins -nference of such British uer; Aris-remier, and Foreign Millie, represented a States is not observer. Uppermost anioi, the problems likely to come before the conferes is evacuation of the Rhlneland. Germany at last is in a position to demand a modification of the military control which the Allied countries imposed In the years after the Armistice.

Prance proposes to substitute a kind of "invisible control" which is nearly as hateful to Berlin as actual occupation. The question may be fought out and brought to tentative settlement here within the next two weeks. Distribution or Cash an Issue. Another foremost problem is essentially that of the creditor nations and not of Germany, that is, distribution among them of the money received from Germany. Britons consider the tentative division agreed upon by the Young committee slights British interests in favor of France.

Philip Snowden has already served notice he will fight for a revision of the distribution percentages. Organization of the proposed International bank for the handling of the reparations payments also will come up for some discussion. Opposition to the proposed bank has materialized in some quarters where it is contended the scope accorded the institution is much too broad for safety. With gathering of the delegations extremely crowded conditions prevail here. The German delegation of 70 which arrived last night, for Instance, was divided between several hotels in two towns, the Hague and Scheveningen.

The French also were unable to find central quarters. Wilson Is U. S. Observer. Paris, Aug.

Moscow, July 17 (By Mail) First Impressions of a city or country are important.

They are more vivid and strike in more deeply than those which come later. Nor is it accurate to say that they are apt to be deceptive. In some respects they are more accurate tnan tnose matured by time and further experience. Contrasts with other cities and countries strike one much more forcibly on the first day than later There is no doubt that people are better dressed in Moscow than they were three years ago. At this afternoon's reception to the visiting Americans in the Western Chamber of Commerce Building one of the stenographers serving tea had on a silk blouse, and among the Russian women present there were at least two pairs of artificial silk stockings.

Most of the comrades present wore shirts, collars and neckties in place of the more picturesque ana certainly more comfortable Russian blouse. Homeless Children Vanish. Homeless children appear to have been completely done away with. Beggars are kept away from the hotels though many are still scattered about on the streets. Poor, drab and dirty clothes are still uni versal, but somewhat better dressed men and women do not stand out from the crowd as they did three years ago.

The city ltseu is sua down at tne heel. Little effort has been made to repair crumbling facades or to paint laaed ironts. enow windows are often grimy, probably because the street dust makes it a thankless task to clean them. There are more luxuries on display such as perfumes, cosmetics, wines and articles of clothing for women, but most of them are of Russian origin. Asked to explain the encouragement of luxury consumption by a Communist State, a woman comrade replied: "People want them, so to prevent illicit imports, the State manufactures and sells them.

They pay a good price and thus help to provide employment as well as profits for the State." Forced Into Making Vodka, This sort of compromise with human frailty is universal.

So the Government began making perfume to prevent illicit trade just as it began making vodka when the peasant refused to get along without it and made his own. It is this realistic attitude on the part of the Soviet authorities that is enabling them to transmute impractical Communist theory into the successful practice of State Socialism.

Members of the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce group are facing one great disappointment. They will be unable to view Lenin's body. The curious cublstic wooden structure erected on the Red Square in front of the Kremlin Wall has been dismantled and work has begun on the erection of the permanent stone mausoleum. Lenin is still the great hero of the revolution. But it is to be noted that alongside the Innumerable portraits, busts, photographs, drawings and bas reliefs that portray his features those of other Bolshevist leaders are beginning to appear.

Refuse to Forgo Church. There is less insistent clanging of church bells in Moscow than three years ago, but the Church is still a large factor in the life of the common people. They worship at the street shrines and they attend the services. It- is said that at Easter time the various cathedrals in Moscow were crowded as never before, The Government made a special effort to provide counter attractions in the way of free performances in theaters and cinematograph houses. But it seems that all those who wished to make a protest against the regime as well as those who felt the need of worship on the great church holiday thronged into the cathedrals and paid their devotions.

People who live in Moscow tell us that there was quite a shortage of foodstuffs and various other articles three months ago but that since then conditions have Improved. No one starves but every now and then butter, eggs or bread is hard to get. The workers always have first call on all commodities and others are served only after their needs are supplied. But every one promises good timos after this fall. The present crop is the largest in Soviet history.

Some estimates place it at four times last year's rather scanty crop. If it does turn out according to present promise it will give the finances of the Oovernment a tremendous lift.
