Stability to the World.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.
MISUNDERSTANDING acceptance
OF the ~reparatiOns terms imposed by
the allied governments, it is believed in
Washington, was due unquestionably
10 the diplomatic Intervention of the
United States which, without consent
ing in any way to act as mediator,
advised Germany to confer with the
allies again and to agree to pay to
the limit of its ability.
There are men in high places, not
partisans. who say freely that If the
United States had not done what it
did Germany still would be holding
our, the French probably would be in
control Of the Ituhr Industries, and
hlacker trouble still would be ahead.
All this is AS it may be, but the re-
suit of the German acceptance of the
payment terms means that the United
States instantly will start at the work
of extending It's foreign trade and of
paving the way for what ii believes
soon will be the stabillZation of eco
homie conditions all over the world,
except possibly In Russia and In one
or two places in the East.
Every branch of every department
of government which is charged with
such endeayor is to formulate at once
plans for the extension of the foreign
trade of the United States. Secretary
Of Commerce Hoover probably will
come into his own again as IN organ
izer and promoter, and, If he can be,
the deliverer of the goods.
The State department and the
Commerce department have of neces-
sity been marking time N the matter

been of the problems of the future with
a view TO securing the fruits of the
future, but until the German repara-
tions matter was settled there could

Diplomatic Agents Get Busy.
Every diplomatic agent of the United
States, in whatever capacity he is
serving, is today under Instructions to
give his government everything that
he knows, or that he can find out,
which will be of assistance In the ex-
tension of our trade, and in bringing
economic stability to the world. The
