WIDE Of MARX
Stone Wall of Silence Still
Surrounds Gov ernment
Officials Regarding the
German Problem


Washington, Dec. 16---A stone
wall Of official silence still sur
rounds administration purposes
with regard to American aid in the
German reparations deadlock.
The one hint allowed to escape
from the lips of responsible Off
cials today was negative. 1t i'm
piled that decisions as to the gov
ernment's course still were to be
made and was coupled with q
warning that most of the published
conjectures as to that course had
gone wide of the mark.
Paris dispatches, saying that
Premier Poincare had sounded out
informally with view to Washing
ton Intervention toward unsnarling
the reparatlons knot, afforded a
glimpse of the method Secretary
Hughes is employing to bring
American influence to bear. This
informal method of approach
ing the problem, a White House
spokesman said yesterday, can
not be conducted on the stage"
The Paris dispatch did not draw
officials here from their en-
aroused the official attitude In
Paris toward the general principle
of American helpfulnesS in the
emergency.
In view OF the situation that
brought about the Anglo France
reparations deadlock at London,
1t seems obvious that any Amerl-
can overtures would be welcome
both in London and Paris. 1t is
that preliminary stage of negotia-
tions' which is now in progress,
Diplomatic usage would not sane
tion an offer of good offices or
help in any other form until it was
certain 1t would be accepted.
The report that feelers have
been put out abroad was in line
with the official statement, relt-
Grated today that there was moth
ing imminent in the situation,
