WASHINGTON. April 27.-Secretary
OF state Hughes was expected to de-
eide today whether the moral influence
Of the United States is to be thrown
behind the latest German reparatlons
proposals with view to having them
accepted by the allies as a basis for
resuming negotiations.
The proposal of the German govern
ment has created a distinctly favor
able impression here and predictions
were freely made in official circles
that unless unsurmountable objects
were interposed the administration
would see fit to recommend favorable
consideration by the allied govern
ments to the suggestion that discus-
sions be re-opened.
1t was pointed out however that the
situation is extremely delicate. Sec
retary Hughes, in accepting the task
OF mediation. made it plain that he
would bring a German counter-pro-
posal to the attention Of the allies
only in a way which would be accept
able to them. The serious objection OF
one OF the interested powers it is be
lieved would be sufficient to defeat an
effort at mediation.
with respect TO the disposition OF
the German offer it was suggested
that three courses are open TO Hughes
First. he might peremptorily reject
the proposal as unsatisfactory.
Secondly, he could forward IL to ths
allied governments without comment.
Or thirdly. forward the proposal
with the recommendation that It be
used as a basis for further negotia-
tion.
In commenting upon thees possibll-
ties, officials pointed out that the pro
posal IS not only better than any tho
Germans have previously made but is
even more liberal in It's terms than
even the most optimistic had expected
