EUROPE'S REVIVAL
SEEN HELPING U. S.
Senator Weller, Maryland,
Returning From Trip, Calls
Dawes Plan Pivot.

The revival of Europe as a result
of the adoption of the Dawes plan
for the settlement of the German
reparations tangle is seen by Senator
Weller of Maryland who has just re-
turned to this country after attend
ing the interpar;iamentary confer
ence in Switzerland. Senator Weller
discussing conditions abroad, said
Yesterday:
THE Dawes plan was adopted dur
ing our stay in Europe. Secretary
Hughes, who made splendid i'm
preston there, laid the foundation
for it, and Ambassador kellogg was
potential in bringing the London ne
Eotiations to successful conclusion.
France Most Prosperous.
"The London pact is a recognition
OF the principle of arbitration for
settlement of international disputes
IT was necessary for the peace and
progress of mankind. The Dawes re-
port is the greatest piece of con-
structive work of modern times.
France is the most prosperous
country in Europe. ! crossed it
twice by rail. spent two days on its
hattlefields and flew over its North
crn part by airplane from Paris to
London. Frances crops are good,
her business expanding and 100000
laborers year are being imported
to meet the demand. The restoration
of the war region, which produces
- per cent of the output of France
in coal. coke, iron, steel, sugar. cotton
and wooden goods, is practically COM
plete. Her coke output has increased
from 100000 tons in 1913 to 5000, 900
in 1929. She has largely increased
her investments in SoutheaSte
Europe. Her industrial and military
position is stronger than for years.
Heavy Public Spending.
France has accomplished this by
heavy public expenditures for the re-
construction and industrial re-equip-
ment of her devastated war areas
This has averaged $1,000 900. 900 a year
since 1919, and this enormous sum
has been spent in a country no larger
in area than New York. Against
this, her public revenues have aver
aged $1,000, 100000. This leaves a
deficit of $500, ,00O,0 900 for the five
years which has been borrowed out
of the savings of the French peas
antry. France has made no provision
for balancing her budget and paying
- off her national debt. She does not
even acknowledge her indebt edness
of $3.500.000.000 to us. The French
feel strongly that we should cancel
IT. Her attitude regarding what she
owes Great Britain is much the same
I'm England the situation is not
