US. ENHANCEMENT
SECUTED IN BRITAIN
English Press Is Convinced
America Will Not Interfere
With European Mess.
By Univerrai Service.

LONDON, Dec. 1e.-The British
press Is at last convinced that
the statements. attributed TO the
Washington administration, an
nouncing that the United States
would step in to solve the problem
of reparations and stabilize Euro
pean finance. are preposterous.
The Daily Chronicle tomorrow
will say:
No sane person ever imagined
that America intended to ladle
out millions TO Europe until se-
curity is given that Europe is a
safe investment. British finan-
ciers refused to give a compara-
lively small sum to aid to put
Austria on her feet until she had
conformed absolutely to the most
stringent conditions.
There is really no hope here now
that America can be lured into
European entanglehents. as is evi.
denced by the declaration OF the
Daily Chronicle, which view is
shared generally by the man in the
street, that the settlement OF the
reparations question is for Ger
many, France and the allies. Ger
many. to avert ruin. must make
an offer which the allies can &C.
cept.
The Chronicle asserts that the
scheme must be one involving sta
bilization. reduced expenditures. in,
creased taxation and sacrifice all
around. adding Significantly:
France can only get her repara.
tions by falling in line with this
proeram."

All the evidence they have to

1-Bundles Of hundreds Of some

wives, sweethearts. even mothers

The State Department has been

L. 8. TO TAKE HAND.
So long as these influences remain
in power there will be no settlement
of the reparations problem. it is said.
The United States. meanwhile. it
was indicated, following the Cabinet
meeting with President Harding at
the White House, will exert it's in
fluence quietly in discouraging i'm
perialistic designs and bringing
about a settlement Of European dif-
ficulties. The Administration be-
lieves that little can be accomplished
by ''megaphone methods"
While refraining from public and
official participation in the Anglo
French controversy over a. policy to-
ward Germany, American diplomatic
representatives are seeking to har-
monize differences by expressing
their personal" views.
The United States, for example,
took no official attitude toward the
French plan for seizing the Ruhr
valley. American diplomats. how
ever, both at home and abroad. are
understood to have pointedly in
formed French officials that such a
seizure would not be well received
by American opinion.
ANXIETY FELT.
Without questioning the integrity
Of French motives, there is q pro-
nounced tendency in certain official
American groups, to view this
course Of developments with real
anxiety. In the four years since
the armistice. it Is pointed out,
French policy has attained impor-
tant ends. The recent triumph in
the Near East, unless the Turkish
Nationalists get out of French con-
troll, is regarded as fitting in ex-
actly with French domination Of
Poland, Czecho-Slovakia and Ru-
mania.
British opinion as reflected here
is known to view with concern the
growth Of French influence and
what is regarded as a correspond
ing fall in British prestige.
