Washington, D. C. - With COM
plete statement of the conflicting views
of the European allies before it,@the
American government today weighed
painstakingly the question whether the
door had been closed to American aid
in an expert reparations inquiry.
In no quarter was there any anthem
tic indication how soon a decision
would be reached, or in what direc-
tion the opinions of high officials were
trending. 1t was apparent, however,
that hope of an eventful agreement had
not been lost.
Shortly before President Coolidge
and his cabinet assembled for their
regular Tuesday meeting, Ambassador
Jusserand of France called at the
White House and spent thirty minutes
with the chief executive. He said he
had come primarily to pay his respects,
but left inquirers to draw their own
differences as to what subject may
have been discussed.
Met With Secretary Hughes.
Yesterday the ambassador just back
from Paris talked for more than two
hours with Secretary Hughes, outlin-
ing the reasons why Premier Poincare
objects to the unrestricted separations
inquiry favored by the United States,
and apparently agreeable also to Great
Britain, Italy and Belgium.
The long conference between the
secretary and the French plenipoten-
tiary. led to many rumors of compro-
mise, on the one hand, and of a dead
lock on the other.
In authoritative quarters it was in
Dictated that further exchanges be-
tween Washington and Paris intended
to insure a clearer understanding of
the position of the two governments,
must be awaited before there could
be a final decision.
Poincare's Position Popular.
1t is recognized here that M. Poin-
care, although his present position is
difficult, has much popular support in
France, and it would be difficult to
/ him to recede from his present posi-
ton.
While it is recognized that ques-
tions of detail about the proposed IN
quiry should be adjusted at the quick

Ambassador Jusserand's call at the
White House preceded by only a few
minutes the arrival there Of Secretary
Hughes, prepared to make a general
report on the whole situation. An
swering the inquiries Of newspaper
men as he left the executive offices, the
ambassador said:

An effort was made here today to To-

URGED ON COTTON
+. C. c. Examiners Recommend
Joint Charges by Roads
in Mississippi.

Railroads operating in Mississippi
should be required to establish joint
through rates on cotton from that
state to cotton milling centers in
North and South Carolina and other
southeastern milling points, accord
ing to the report made today to the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
examiners assigned to investigate a
complaint by the Mississippi state
government.
The conditions disclosed by the in
vestigation, it was reported, indi-
cate that the Mississippi cotton
growers have been subjected by the
railroads to unreasonable freight
charges on this traffic by the failure
of railroads to make through rates
which would be lower than combi-
nations Of local rates on the same
movement.
On the other hand. the examiners
report indicated that railroad regu-
lations and rates on shipments to
other parts of the United States af-
fecting Mississippi cotton are justi-
fable. If the commission itself sus-
tains the examiners conclusions rail-
roads will be required to make the
changes suggested in the southeast

the amount Of $45,0O0.0oo offered at
a price to yield about 4.45 per cent

whether any other tax-exempt secur-

large a yield. 49, 4.

Foreign bonds were comparatively
firm. There was some recession in

were placed SO far negotiations to
this end have not begun.
