Experts from Seven Nations Confer:  Representatives of the Governments of seven nations arrived at the Treasury in Whitehall this morning for the beginning of the conference of experts which was set up to work out the technical details of President Hoover’s plan for the suspension of war debt payments for one year. The swift march of events in the financial crisis in Europe has shorn the conference of much of its initial importance, but the gathering of such a body of specially qualified men is regarded as opportune and especially valuable in view of the conference of ministers hurriedly summoned by the British Government which opened in London on Monday.
