The reaction on Secretary

sams hangers that lurked in

"I was greatly struck by this

Senator Johnso OF California and
Senator Reed OF Missouri had not

vigorous opposition they have ex-
pressed to every new effort to In.

MANY PITFALLS FEARED.
Even some Democratic Senators
who heretofore have favored every
proposal for American participa-

the Hughes proposal many pitfalls
for the United States.
In privately-expressed. unbiased
comment by both Senators and
Representatives who have kept
abreast Of the reparations. war
debt and general international eco.
nomic situation, two emphatic objec.
tions to Mr.. Hughes idea were set
forth. These objections dealt with
the certain effort that would be
made to link up war debts with
reparations and the fear Of inabil.
ity to select financiers who would
not have axes to grind.

the United States becomes obvious.
