In the face Of widespread indica.

and emphatic denial was made to-
day the Administrator has arrived

any definite plan" for the adjust
ment OF complicated international
problems.
Reports that President Harding
and his Cabinet had agreed upon or
indorsed any moves. in the Euro.
pean situation were officially de-
scribed at the State Department as
"ridicuious" and without ,founda-
tion."
The denial was accompanied by q
manifestation Of keen OFFICIAL dis
pleasure over the tenor Of many
stories appearing in the morning
newspapers Of the country to the
effect that the United States is
about to make q new and startling
move toward ironing out affairs
with Europe.
Nothing could be further from
the truth, II was asserted with
great positiveness by an authorized
spokesman for the Administrators
At the same time, however, in
quiries a. to the reasons behind
Ambassador Harvey's being sum.

Harvey's coming home was merely

The reasons for this view are
a. follows:
The one sure outcome OF all the

to the United States Is going to be

may not pay Italy and France and
Britain. Italy and France may not
pay Britain. Britain ID going to
