HARDING DROPS
ALL PRETENSE Of
j. 6. ISOLATION
Energies of Government in New
Year Directed Toward Ad-
iustment of Europe.
BIZ United NeCs

| BY CHitPd NetCS
| WASHINGTON, Jan. dropping
all pretense of standing aloof from
Europe, President Harding steps into
the new year with his chief energies
directed toward adjustment of chaotic
affairs across the Atlantic. In dealing
with the situation this governments
vital interests in foreign affairs, takes
the following line up:
l. Ambassador Harvey has come
from London to help the President and
| Secretary of State Hughes in their
negotiations with European powers.
2. The British debt funding commits
sion. headed by Stanley Baldwin, chan
cellor of the exchequer, arrives to dis
cuss terms on which Britain is to re-
pay the $4,000, 100000 she owes the
United States.
Await EurOpe'S Answer
8. The State department Is await
ing the answer of European powers
to Secretary Hughes suggestion that
an unofficial international experts
commission be appointed to fix fair
reparations sum.
4. Though not directly participating,
Z
as to the outcome of the allied pre-
miers meeting which begins at Paris
on Tuesday.
Two conditions have aroused con-
Germ in the Administration after two
years of virtual indifference. First,
the allied nations owe the United
States more than 1000, 900 which is
piling up accrued interest at a rapid
rate Secondly, American farmers and
manufacturers want more foreign
markets for their surplus and these
markets won't be fully opened until
European countries can produce goods
to send here in exchange.
France Has Treaty Rights
But circumstances force President
Harding to move cautiously. France
has treaty rights which cannot be ig-
nored against her viii. The repara-
tons commission has fixed the rep
arations figure at 1872 billion gold
marks and under the treaty Of Yer
sailles France is entitled TO seize GER
tain German Industrial resources TO
force collection.
Secretary Hughes. in his New Haven
speech. tried TO show that such
seizures would merely result in sabo.-
tage by Germans and would not pro
duce the desired reparations. He is
hopeful that the allied preniers will
reach a compromise at their meeting
this week. But anticipating possible
failure. he sent forth the alternative
of an unofficial expert commission to
determine how much Germany can
fairly be expected to pay without suf-
fering economic paralysis.

building purposes. He is expected to
ask that expenses be held down to the
lowest possible level.
After hearing the Governors mess
age, the Assembly may adjourn until
next week. In any event, no actual
business is expected to be done this
week.
