SUCCESS Of j. s.
AID To EUROPE
RESTS ON F RANCE
Poincare viii Be Requested to
Lay All His Cards on
Table.
By United Press

bU OHtteU FT6SS
WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-France
soon may be asked by the United
States to place all her cards on the
table.
With the success or failure of the
American move looking toward IL
solution Of the old worlds economic
crisis virtually hanging on the at
titude Of France, this Government is
understood to be preparing to ask
Premier Poincare for a definite state
ment as the utmost concessions he is
willing to make on reparations and
kindred questions in order to relieve
the situation.
This Government received the
German proposal calling for a COM
mission Of experts. preferably Ameri-
cans to revise the PREPARATIONS down
to the highest possible figure that
Germany can pay. 1t is believed that
any plan the United States agrees
upon will be acceptable in the main
to Great Britain.
The plan of this Government is to
get the views of all the powers and
then outline a common ground upon
which negotiations could be opened
with the United States acting as a
sort of mediator.
This Government is inclined to be-
ueve that France, while so far assum-
ing an unyielding attitude in direct ne
gotiations with the Germans, will
manifest a more conciliatory attitude
in response to direct inquiries from
the United States. Georges Clemen-
ceau, it is believed, soon will confer
with the French government and state
that American public opinion demands
some concessions, but that Germany
be forced to pay reparations to the
limit Of her ability.
