Washington, Nov. 6.-The Wash

informed in detail of the position of
France with respect to the proposed
new inquiry into the reparations
question.
Whether Ambassador Jusserand in
the lengthy conversation in which he
n~esented his views to Secretary
Hughes yesterday had indicated any
p ibility of recession in it's
stand of restricting the scope of it's
study by economic experts had not
been disclosed.
A veil of official silence has been
thrown over this latest development
in the situation. Neither the French
ambassador nor Secretary Hughes
who later conferred with President
Coolidge on the subject would speak.
The White House also was silent.
It appeared that neither side re-
garded the issue as closed and that
negotiations would continue on the
French position which in it's insist
ence that the inquiry be limited to
the present" capacity Of Germany
to pay was understood here to be
the only obstacle to a final agree
ment.
