London Papers Commend Atti-

Presidential Nominee.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
London. Aug. 2s.-All the London
newspapers today featured the state
ment given out Saturday by James
NJ. Cox, former Democratic candidate
for President. and deal with it IN
lengthy editorials, welcoming es-
pecially his suggestion that Herbert
Hoover represent the United States in
tackling the reparations problem.
Such proposal from the man who
is usually regarded az the leader of
the Democratic party" says the
Times, shows a real desire to come
TO the assistance Of Europe regardless
of the smaller considerations of do
nestle politics"
The Westminster Gazette assumes
that Mr.. Cox is committed to his
viewpoint by the fact that "the man
tie OF Wilson descended upon him at
the last election"
Like some Of the other newspapers,
the Gazette argues that America must
bear some share OF responsibility for
what has happened in Europe, but
says:
I'VE can scarcely hope for a quick
enough change in the American policy
to help us in our present emergency
The Daily Chronicle thinks that III
the great weight OF America. as rep
resented by Hoover. were thrown on
the side Of the sound policy OF repara-
t.ons. 1t would have the double effect
Of recreating confidence in Germany
and helping reconcile her creditors tc
the only scheme which the world
flnsnciers would back"
The Daily News terms Mr.. Cox's
suggestion the most hopeful that ha.
yet appeared.
