millions more with the resultant to-
tai implying the existance under a

Washington, Dec. 31-FranIe
may soon be asked to place all its
cards on the table. With the sue
cess or failure of Americas move
looking toward a solution of the old
world economic crisis virtually hang
ing on the attitude of France, this
government is understood to be pre-
pairing to ask Premier Poincare for
a definite statement as to the ut
most concessions he is willing to
make on the reparations and kindred
questions in order to relieve the sit
uatiOn.
This government realizes Poin-
cares government faces difficult
political situation because of the
strong demand in France for the
use of force in the hope of compell-
ing German to pay the huge re-
quired reparations figures which
have been imposed on her, and the
inquiry to the French government
will be concluded in the most friend
ly manner. s
This government has received the
German proposal, calling for COM
mission of experts, preferably Amer
leans, to revise the reparations down
to the highest possible figure that
Germany can pay. This proposal
was revealed exclusively by the
United Press and caused the utmost
interest in official circles.
1t is believed that any plan the
United States agrees on will be ac-
ceptable in the main to Great Brit
ain, thus making it necessary to har-
monize as much as possible the wide
differences between France and
Germany if solution Of the problem
is to be reached.
