Commission Would Be
Named By Government

Washington Dec. DISAPPOINTMENT
OF American financicrs to sit upon q
commission. such as suggested tonight
by Secretary Hughes In his address at
New Haven. would be on nomination OF
the government if the proposal for this
method of adjusting the rcparations
dispute was accepted abroad. This was
the view expressed authorItati @!y In
White House circles in connection with
MIR. Hughes remarks.
1t was pointed out that any body OF
an advisory character to deal with the
question of the amount Of reparations
Germany could and should pay must
meet under the sanction of all govern
ments involved. II its work was to bear
fruit.
While no light was thrown upon pre-
liminary conversations that may have
been held between the Washington and
the allied governments relative 20 the
plan of operation Mr.. Hughes has dis
closed. the impression given in White
House circles was that such CONVERSE
tons had taken place. and that there
was reason TO believe the allied pre-
m.ers would not be found opposed to
the suggestion il. as Mr. Hughes point
ed out. the failed to reach a reparations
agreement among themselves. 1t was
noted by the White House spokesman
that Mr.. Hughes suggestion was put
forward as an alternative to drastic &C
ton to enforce reparations payments II
failure Of the rremiers to agree should
bring the lies face to face with that
problem. II Il commission OF tnanciers
appointed by the countries involved. but
freed Of political or other obligations In
their discussion, was to have much
weight. IT WAS said there must OF neces-
sity be, previous agreement among the
powers as to the agcnda of the discus
sions, and a preliminary understanding
which would insure sympathetic cotsid-
Grafton at least OF the commissions
findings.
There Ia no question that the United
States expects to be invited TO nomt-
nate members to sit On the inancierS
commission. should that be the course
adopted by the allied governments to-
ward settlement. The American minis
ters and those Of other countries. II was
Indicated. would OF necessity represent
their governments in whatever steps
might be necessary to make sure that
purely non-political consideration was
given by them TO the problem. and that
1t was viewed strictly from tho eco
nomic standpoint.

schools played baseball last summer.
At the end Of the season the two
stood at the top Of the ranks in the
Ohio Valley Scholastic League. A
series of three games was arranged to
decide the championship. The result
OF this series, It will be remembered
was that Ferry defeated Wheeling in
the third game for the championship
after each team had won one game.
1t developed last evening that al
though Wheeling went to Ferry for
the last game. which Ferry had won
the toss for the privilege Of selecting
the grounds. that the matter had all
been arranged before hand. Yet
Wheeling went over there without
arguing. Why shouldn't this spirit

1t IS the will Of the sporting public
that the two meet for the simple rea-
son that nearly every year both are

said, 'the avenues of American help
fulness cannot fail to open hopefully"
Will Not Arbitrate.
Referring to suggestion that the
United States assume the role OF ar
| bitter In the reparatlons dispute, Mr.,
Hughes aid sufficient answer to that
was the fact that we have not been
asked" He said he did not believe
this government should take such d
burden Of responsibility.
Throughout his discussions. the sec,
rotary recognized that the discussions
OF German reparations lay at the root
of any economic settlement. The
problems abroad, he said, are world
problems and could not he disposed
, of "by calling them European" lie
declared the United States would
view with disfavor measures which
I instead OF producing reparatlons
would threaten disaster" and said no
one could foresee the serious conse'
quences" which might ensue II forci'
bic means were adopted TO obtain
PREPARATIONS from Germany.
Mr.. Hughes Address,
The text of Mr.. Hugres' discussions
OF economic problems follows:
1.-THE economic conditions In Europe
give us the greatest concern. Thev
have long received the earnest con-
sideration Of the administration. IL
Is idle to say thai we are not interest
ed in these problems, for we are deep
~ interested from an economic stand
point, as our credits and markets are
| involved, aud from a humanitarian
standpoint, as the heart OF the Amerl'
can people goes out to those VINO are
in distress We cannot dispose OF
these problems by calling them Euro
pean. for they arc world problems and
we cannot escape the injurious con-
SEQUENCES of failure to settle them'
Tho crux OF the European situation
lies in tho settlement OF Teparatlnns'
There will be no adjustment or othrT
needs, however pressing. until orH-
mite and accepted basis FOR the dis
charge Of reparations claims has been
fixed. 1t Is futile TO attempt to erect
any economic structure in Europe until
the foundation is laid.
How Can America Hslp2
! How can the United States help IN
this matter. We are not seeking reph-
rationS We are indeed asking for the
reimbursement OF the costs OF our army
OF occupatIun: and with good reason
for we have maintained our army In
Europe at the request Of tho allies and
OF Germany. and under an agreement
that It's cost with Tx" army costs
should be first charge upon tho
amounts paid by Germany. Others have
, been paid and We have not been paid.
But we are not seeking genera.
reparations We nrc bearing our own
burden and through our loans large
part Of Eurore's burdens In addition.
No demands Of ours stand In the way
OF n proper settlement Of the repara-
lions question.
.Of course, we hold the obligations
OF European governments. and there has
been much discussion abroad and here
with respect 10 them. There has been
q persistent attempt ever since tho ar
mistice Was signed ~ INK up the debts
owing 10 our government With -ei'RrN-
lions or with projects Of cancellation.
This attempt was resisted in 4 doter-
