hopeful the German offer may
prove the forerunner Of another.
1t is, felt that the latest German
note has not advanced the repara-
lions problems any further towards
an immediate settlement.
British officials say the docu-
ment was clunsily written and
arouses needless French and Bel
gian irritation. It is playing into
the hands of the extremists.
The cabinet met today, with Act
ing Premier Stanley Baldwin presid-
ing, and it is understood that the
German note was discussed.
It is possible that there will be
an exchange of views among the
allies before the end of the week.
while Anglo-American pressure is
expected in favor of acceptance of
Secretary Hughes plan. There are
intimatiOnS that informal converse
tionA already have taken place upon
this subject.
Great Britain is most anxious for
q settlement, and will not lose an
opportunity to use the German offer
as q vehicle for comforting with
France, Belgium, Italy, and the
United States.
DOesn't Solve Problem.
1t is pointed out that, even\if the
French has rejected the present Ger
man offer, they cannot refuse to dis
cuss the subject with the allies.

fleet will be offered for sale
by groups and If purchasers

cannot be found at satisfac-
tory terms the government will adopt
new plan of direct operation, with
view to the maintenance of an ade-
quate American merchant marine.
This program was outlined in an
official White House statement issued
following conference between the
members Of the shipping board and
President Harding.
Before offering the ships for sale
there will be consolidation of for
eign trade lines now in operation into
not more than four systems. All serv-
Ices from North Atlantic ports to Eu-
rope, for example, will be merged un-
der single organization, and all the
ships operating in these lines offered
for sale as group. The exact details
Of the consolidation plans were not
made known.
Direct operation by the government
will mean the abolition of the pres
ent managing agents contract by
which the actual operation of the
ships is in charge Of private shipping
companies which receive a percentage
Of the gross revenues without any
