The possibility of any development
abroad to change the policy of France
and bring American aid into the repara-
tions breach in Europe appeared last
night to be fading hour by hour.
There is reason to believe that the
Washington government not only sees
no further opportunity at this time to
suggest a way to Franco British rec
onciliation. but lacks also any intima-
ton that it's good Offices will be sought
from across the Atlantic, at least in ad-
vance OF an actual test of the French
theories on reparations
Once the French plan has been tried
and its results demonstrated, the situa-
tion with respect to American aid may
change. But there is no doubt that
American official opinion is graveIy con-
