As an aftermath of his vigorous
speeches. although not directly at
tributable to them, this government
within the. last few days has dis
played a stimulated activity in seek
ing a practical means through
which It can aid Europe. This gov
ernment's activities also have been
speeded up as the result OF the fail
ure of the London conference of
European Premlers and the threat
ened occupation OF the Ruhr valley
by France, because of the German
failure TO pay reparations. The cri-

clearly leaves the way wide open for
any American move.
