Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-12-21

A confidential speech delivered by
the President before an exclusive club
of newspaper correspondents contain
ed the first intimation that the Ad-
ministration had actually approved
unofficial American participation in
a new inquiry to test the ability of
Germany to make reparations pay
ments in accordance with French de-
mands. The official announcement
was not to have been made for some
weeks yet, pending the working out
of concrete details, and although Mr..
Coolidge's remarks before the CORES
pondents were supposed to have been
made in the greatest secrecy, they
leaked out here and there. To avoid
misunderstanding either in the Unit
ed States or in the capitals of Europe,
the White House told the story and
the American people got the news.
Coolidge's remarks on Russia in his
annual message are interpreted in
some quarters as an actual invitation
to the Soviet leaders to line up so that
recognition can be extended by the
United States. One of the chief
causes of the present refusal of this
Government to recognize Russia is
that the Moscow Soviet will not agree
to pay the seven hundred or so mil
lion dollars that were borrowed from
the United States since the fall of the
Czar. The President wants to clear
up the Russian situation, but he
wants the Soviet officials to recog-
nize the rights of private property
and to admit their just obligations, fl
nancial and otherwise.
