Economic Appeal to America
for European Relations
Marks Turning Point-De-
flies G, 0, P. Anti-League
Group
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
Special Leased Wire - The Journal
(Convripht 1928

NEW YORK, April 22.-President
Coolidge has undertaken to convert
the plnlic opinion of the United
States to an economic rather than
political relationship with Europe.
Pointing out that formulas for
peace, armament conferences anu
even the revision of international
'aw must await "a composed state
of mind in Europe" the president
has appealed to America TO give It's
moral and material support to the
Dawes-Young report for the econo-
mic reconstruction Of Europe.
While Mr.. Coolidge bodily deflea
critics inside the Republican party
nv announcing his unaltered belleI
in the necessity of American mem
bership in the world court, he seized
the OPPORTUNITY afforded him in adj
dressing the editors assembled at the
annual luncheon of the Associated
Press here to beginning a campaign
of education on the part America
shall play in helping Europe to econ
omic stability.
Mr. Coolidge asks. in effect that
the investors of the United States
shall subscribe to the forthcoming
loan, not merely to resuscitate Ger
man finances, but to aid in the gen
eral reparation settlement. He sig
nificantIy pointed out that the
United States refuses to discuss re-
duction of allied war debts still owing
to America, but that this policy
never meant that America was not
willing to lend its assistance to the
solution of the European problem in
any way that did not involve us IN
their purely political controversies"
Turning Point Of Policy
Mr.. Coohdge's address carried with
it an appeal of transCendent import
ance. 1t means the turning point
in the policy Of isolation which has
been enormously interpreted not
only as political detachment but as
economic ~eclusiOn.
The president follows the note Of
Secretary Hughes recent speech in
arguing that political independence
for America does not mean economic
aloofness. Realizing the pendulum
has swung away from Europe too
much. Mr. Coolidge attempts in his
New York speech to bring Ameri'
can opinion back to economic reali-
ties-the very thing which League
of Nations advocates used in their
early championship of that cause.
Mr.. Coolidge, however, draws the
line sharply between political asso'
citation and economic conditions. The
one is product Of governmental

GERMANY SENDS NOTES
TO ALLIES ON PROPOSALS

BERLIN, April 22.-Germany has
prepared a careful program for her
conduct during the coming negotla-
tions in Paris to effect . settlement
of the reparations question on the
basis OF the Dawes report, It was
learned today, and already has sent
notes to the principal allied coun-
trie outlining her position.
Following the inquiry addressed TO
England, in which it was made plaln
that Germany believes that her SOW
ereignty over the occupied regions
should be returned to her and Ger
man prisoners restored, similar notes
have been sent to the other allied
powers.
The foreign Office intends these
notes to serve as clarifying the Ger
man position in accepting the Dawes
report and should serve as an addi-
tional basis for negotiations.
1t is no secret that the foreign
office, in view of Premier Poincare's
recent attitude, feels that there still
is a cOnsidera Die divergence in the
Franco German viewpoints.

AMERICAN MAY HEAD
SUPERVISION BOARD
IN PREPARATION PLAN

PARIS, April 22.-Reports from
New York that an American would
be chosen to supervise the putting
into effect of the experts repara.
ton plan were found impossible or
confirmation here. In French Off
cial circles it was said nothing was
known of any such project, and
similar reply was made in repara'
ton commission quarters.
The report, it is thought here,
may have grown out of speculation
as to who might be named on the
various control boards under the
experts plan and to act as com
missioner" to utilize the index OF
prosperity to determine when Ger
MANY could increase her payments,
and to decide when it would be dan.
gerous to the German currency ana
budget to export German payments
on reparation account.
Louis Barthou, president Of the
reDaration commission, IN a long
talk with Premier Poincare concern
ing thu methods of procedure in put
ting into effect the reparatlon pro-
gram agreed that it is for the repa-
ration commission to proceed tlrst
with the organization as far as the
commissions jurisdiction goes, after
which the interested governments
will deliberate on the points they
must decide.

SIX YEARS on SECOND TRIAL

The second case of the Common
wealth against Henry E. Grabill grow
ing out of the act of the defendant in
firing into an automobile driven by
Frank Robinson on February 2, came
to a close on Wednesday with jury's
verdict of guilty, carrying with it a
penalty of six years in the penitentiary.
The trial just ended was for the
wounding of the Robinson child.
With but few changes the evidence
was identical with the testimony at the
trial of Grabill for wounding Robinson,
held at the March term of Court, when
seven year verdict was brought in by
the jury.
The public's desire to get all of the
details of the unfortunate act of 9
drink crazed man was surfeited at the
former trial, and the attendance in
Court this week was small. Tx shoot
ing attracted wide attention and the
evidence and circumstances are famil
lar to HERALD readers.
The cumulative sentences mean that
the defendant has before him thirteen
year prison sentence, and future actor
in the case is as yet not fully deter
mined upon.

An anomaly in the trial OF Henry E

was discovered that Fred w. Grand

which the trial jury was selected, drew
