PROPOSALS MADE PUBLIC.
Lord Curzon Requests American Pax
ticipation in Any Form.

London. Oct. 26.-Correspondenc
made public by the foreign office
shows that the British government
had seized the occasion of the first
public statement by President Coolidge
on the situation in Europe TO extend
another formal invitation TO the
Washington government to cooperate
in new conference in an attempt to
settle the reparations question.
Lord Crrzon's request is for Amer
lean participation in any form. either
official or unofficial. or, alternative
ly. to participation in an Inquiry by. a
special commission appointed BY the
|rcparation commission.
In his reply TO Lord Curzon, Sec
rotary Hughes declared that the
United States is willing to take part
lin an economic conference in which
nil the European allies chiefly con-
ccrned in German reparations partici-
pate for the purpose of ascertaining
Germany's capacity to pay and an APP
propriate plan for payment. He en-
phasized three points. however. First.
that. while the United States has no
desire to see Germany relieved of her
responsibility or Just obligations, re-
gard must be had for Germany's ca
pacity to pay and for the fundamental
condition of Germany's rehabilitation
second. that such conference should
he advisory. and. third. that the qucs-
ton of the inter-allied debt is en-
tirely separate from the question of
reparations.

gun Thursday morning and during
which a score or more of witnesses
were examined.
The four defendants up to 1 o'clock

Washington Not Surprised.
BY the Associated Press.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 26.--Thc
decision of the British government to
accept in principle Secretary Hughes
proposals for twelve-mile right of
search in suppressing liquor smuggling
does mot come as a complete surprise
TO Washington officials, although the
British foreign office indicated its dis
approval of the project in the last
communication on the subject to be
made public. In that rejoinder the
foreign office disclosed that the ques-
ton was to be laid before the i'm
perial conference, move which Off
Gals here construed as hopeful
sign.
Pending receipt of the plans shaped
by the British committee, no official
can say whether the essential points
raised in Mr.. Hughes proposal have
been met. For the sake of convent
ence, the secretary's plan was incor-
porated into a draft treaty which COW
cred not only the right of search but
provisions which would release from
existing regulations the stores of ship
liquors brought into American waters
under seal.
1t is not entirely clear to officials
here whether the stipulations OF the
American draft treaty have been sub
stantially accepted. Presumably the
agreement must be in treaty form and
must be ratified by tn, Senate before
it can become effective.
