Sees Futility Of Work in Face OF
French Stand.

Restrictions insisted upon by France
on the proposed inquiry by experts
into Germany's economic condition
would render such an effort to solve
the r6paratlons problem useless and
futIis. In the opinion of the Washing
ton government.
This decision was reached late yes
terday after the sitdation had been
discussed during the day by President
Coolidge with bis cabinet and Ambas-
sador Jusserehd at conference with
secretary/Hughes had explained in
detail ne nature of the French limi-
tatiehs.
<fhe result was that word was sent
70 Premier Poincare. through the am
bassador, that his determination to
restrict the scope Of the inquiry. ad-
ministration officials here believed,
would Illustrate the object Of the
United States in offering the allies
aid in bringing about an adjustment
What the future might bring forth
officials here declined to predict They
would discuss only what had transpired.
entitled to know just what was the
position Of the United States Declin-
ing to speculate as to future possi-
bilities, they would not admit that the
door through which American aid might
be rendered had been closed.
No Formal Invitation.
No formal invitation to participate in
a reparations inquiry, it was pointed
out, is before the Washington govern
ment, and consequently a declination is
not In order. While. under the circum-
stances, no invitation from the allies is
now expected. 1t was plainly indicated
that such an invitation, II France con-
tinued to insist upon restrictions, would
be declined.
In his talk with Mr.. Hughes yester-
day the French ambassador explained
that Premier Poincare's stipulation that
the experts. be limited to an inquiry
into Germany's present capacity" to
pay reparations meant that the survey
should be restricted to the period end
ing with 1880.
This limitation In itself was re-
garded by the Washington govern
ment as making a comprehensive
study Of the situation and the formu-
lation Of financial plan that would
avoid economic disaster In Europe i'm
possible.
Futile, Coolidge Holds.
President Coolidge feels that the
French limitations render the inquiry
plan useless and futile. He believes
the French restrictions would reduce
the inquiry to mere audit of Ger
man accounts; that the United States
could serve no useful purpose by sane
tioning American participation in an
investigation that could not produce

entered Germany today from his

AMSTERDAM. November 10.-Ths
Dutch government officially an
nounced today that former Crown
Prince Frederick William Of Germany
crossed the German frontier this
morning en- route to Oels, Upper 81
lesia. The estate to which he recently
expressed a desire to retire is To-
Gated at Oels.
The Exchange Telegraph account OF
the ex-crown princes departure says
he left the Island of Wieringen at
4:30 o'clock. Two big motor cars
awaited him in the village of
Ewijcksluis. on the mainland. Fred-
erick William entered the first car,
accompanied by Burgomaster tAolf of
Wieringen, while his luggage was
loaded in the second. Both cars drove
off at daybreak.
Before leaving Wieringen Frederick
William addressed a letter to the
population expressing his regret al
being unable to say goodbye and ex-
pressing gratitude for the friends he
had made during his years of exile
AMI for the hospitality shown him.
IT Is considered here that the Dutch
government had no right to detain
him in Holland. that his departure is
quite legal and that 1t will not in
volve Holland in any diplomatic con-
nict. 1t none the less has caused a
sensation.
