BRITAIN WANTS IT
tBy Associated Press1
London, Dec. 21-Some form of in
tervention or meriation by the Unit
ed States on the reparations problem
as now repored in authoritive quart
ers, revealed that strong interest in
London had not failed to attract the
attention of the British public gen
orally because of the onhrmed belief
that only through satisfactorily settle
ment of this problemc can England
hope to surround her unemploy
ment difficulties.
The request made by German
trade commission that a committee OF
American business men, headed by
Herbert Hoover, visit Germany to un-
dertake a thorough survey of econo-
mic conditions that would be used as
the basis of a new reparations treaty,
was seen here today as perhaps the
starting point Of the flock of rumors
as to. American Intervention in the
Toparations problems
Great Britain, it is Officially
learned, has informed the American
state department of It's consent to-
such plan. The British government
message, sent in response to an in-I
puiry from the United States, it was
said. expected to be followed by the
assent of France to which the Ameri-
can government also communicated
the German suggestion.
The proposal was made by a Ger.
man commission, headed by Chancel
or Cuno to the United States Cham
Der Of Commerce, which in turn is
understood to have asked Secretary
Hoover to present the plan at .eabi-
net meeting. This was done and the
matter passed into the hands Of Sec
retsry Hughes.
The Germans propose that the
American commission determined the
extent of Germany's ability to pay
and assert that they would agree to
meet this amount if France and
Grea Britain approved Of the plan.
To this end Secretary Hughes open
de negotiations with the London and
Paris governments.
