BAD CRISIS
: YET FACES
DIPLOMATS
Complete Failure London
Conference Brings
About Crisis
PUT UP TO U. S.
Threatened Occupation OF
Ruhr District by
France
By A. L. BRADFORD
wright. 1922. by the United Press

C0pyrlght, 1872, by the Onlteo rress
WASHINGTON, Dee. 13.-The
serious European situation is now
souarelv before the United States
government.
II has been placed there within
the last "a hours by diplomatic rep
'resentafives of the allies and Ger
iSnny, who by informing this gov
eminent as to the latest European
developments are inviting the Unit
ed States to make any move that
: it deems wise.
Georges Clemenceau, who came
here to bring America back to Eur
one sails for his France today with
the knowledge that the American
government is studying the question
as to what it can do to save or re-
lieve the plight of Europe. These
are the facts that make up the
present significant situation:
1.-Immediately upon the down
fall of the London conference, Great
Britain through Ambassador Ged
des here, who was acting on in
stuctions from London, laid the
whole question before the American
government.
Following the conference be
tween Geddes and Secretary OF
State Hughes, the United Press
learned that Hughes has also just
been informed by the German gov
eminent of its latest PREPARATIONS
proposals to Premier Bonar Law OF
Great Britain which the allies vir
tually rejected. In view of the col
lapse of the London conference and
the threatened occupation Of the
Ruhr by France, formal appeal to
= the United States may soon come
from Germany.
U. s. Government Active
3.-The White House has let il
be known that the American gov
eminent is active in trying to bring
about an adjustment of the Euro
pean problem although the admins
tration Spokesman declared that 1t
is impossible at present to reveal
the exact details of what is being
done.
4.-Seeretary Hughes is known to
be following the whole situation
most closely and TO be prepared to
act if the circumstances warrant.
The discussions and deliberations
of the United States government on
the European questions are no the
direct result of the campaign in
America by Clemenceau and these
conversations really started before
Clemenceau came to this country
Washington holds that Clemenceau
has been advocating and supporting
the very policies of France that are
largely responsible for the present
plight of Europe, but this govern
ment is trying to find way to helr
Europe.
