Generally favorable comment on the
expert committees reports to the rep

Washington. both in official circles
and among representatives here of
American business and industry
Although it was reiterated at the
state Department that the reports of
the eXpefts are in no way govern
mental, nor authorized by this ad-
mthistration. it was agreed among
those in position best to know that
there was optimism here regarding
both the reception which the reports
VIII be accorded by the powers, and
the ultimately helpful effect on this
country should their Recommendations
be placed in effect
The only formal statement was is
SIed by Secretary Hoover. who point
ca out some of the ADVANTAGES to
American trade and farm production
which would follow if the plans led
problems
In addition, it was said in other quar-
ters that solution would aid this
country by making it easier for the

time loans made them by the United
States.

tradiction to her continued pleas Of
distress
One of the unexpected results of
the filing OF the reports is to end all
talk OF an approaching entente con-
ference. 1t is declared at the foreign
office that official circles are ignorant
of any intention by Premier MacDon-
aid of Great Britain to come to
France and are unaware of any ten
tative suggestion to arrange meet
ing OF the British premier with M.
Poincare.
"The reparation commission has
the floor" Is the stereotyped reply as
to what the allied governments are
likely to do concerning the experts
plan. The impression given out at
the Quai d'Orsay Is that there will be
no contact between the entente gov
ernments or their premiers before the
French elections
Meanwhile it is thought probable
that the reparation commission will
endeavor to draw out the attitude or
the German government and that II
viii refer the report to the allied gov
ernments only after it has acquired
clear idea as to whether the Berlin
government is ready to accept the e&-
perts' suggestion.

Dawes Praised Highly.
Cnstinted praise is heaped on Gen.
Dawes for his exhauSting efforts in
this connection. Great hopes are ex-
pressed of Americas cooperation
with the allies in eventually applying
the terms of settlement. Every one
close TO Prime Minister Macdonald
has known since the day he took
office how anxiouSly he awaited the
expert committee reports. He de-
sires fervenuy this chance to prove
his ability as statesman, carrying
with il possibilities of outstanding
success in the field of foreign poll
tics, where his predecessors met only
dismal failure.
Mr.. Macdonald now is devoting the
greater portion of his time to pains
taking study of every sentence in the
committee reports, preparing himself
for the day not far in the future
when he must meet personally the al
lied representatives and come to grips
He approaches the task
with every assurance of support from

See Right Note struck.
From the British point of view the
experts proposals seem to strike ex-

Administration OF the packers and

at hearing before the House com

fashion" in which he said the House
agricultural committee had conducted
hearings on the subject. He said he
had pointed out that the Secretary

OF the packers books.
The question of regulation is a
matter of public concern" the wit

Lyman charged the packers have
sought to have appointed men of

not say this was illegal. but the
Department of Agriculture has not
properly functioned with men sub

The Federal Trade Commission, a
