WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER
MORATORIUM NOT DEFINITE

conformance to any rigid plan which
might now be made"
Senator William H. King of Utah
is M of those who expects that Ger
many will be inspired to struggle more
bitterly than ever for a complete re-
mission of PREPARATIONS and one of the
few who publicly admits that the sit
uation at the end of another year as
to require a denomination of the en-
tire reparations and inter-govern-
mental debt questions. with readjuSt-
ment by treaties" A serious likeli-
hood also being considered here is
that AUTHORIZATIONS sentiment may
become SO strongly organized in Ger
many as to insure the immediate up
set of any German government which
consents to a resumption of payments.
If Business Picks Up
If economic conditions in Germany
and the rest Of the world are but
slightly improved by the end of next
spring it will be argued that although
the reasons for the moratorium still
hold good the respite has been insult
ficient and must be prolonged. Any
marked alienation of the world wide
depression, on the other hand is likely
to be followed by general desire for a
still further stimulation of business
which might be attained by the same
method, as we'll as a fear that re-
sumption of payments on the old bas-
is might throw the world right back
into a slump, Proponents of cancel
lation of both debts and reparationS
are expected to be more vociferous
in any event.
1t has been pointed out that the de-
cision about what shall be done in the
| year after the proposed moratorium
must be made at about the time a
presidential campaign begins in this
country and that politicians will fear
to offend sympathizers with Ger
many. But the fear of taking any
course which bears the least POSSIBLE
ity of causing panicky conditions or
a setback in business will be the most
potent factor in Washington.

Proposed Suspension Without
Assurance Payments Will
Be Resumed

Copyright, 1881, NEA Service, 1nc.)
Washington. July H. What hap
pens to war debts and PREPARATIONS at
the end Of President Hoover's one
year moratorium?
Resumption of payments on the re-
cent basis? Further suspension? Re-
vision of terms? Or is the moratori-
UNI a first step toward cancellation?
No responsible member of the ad-
ministration, the diplomatic corps or
Congress appears to have any real
confidence that operation of the
Young Plan and of Americas debt
funding agreements will pick up
where it left off. Some profess to
have hopes and others do not.
Have No Assurance
The Hoover administration, Spurred
by fear of the likely consequences of
inaction, proposed the suspension of
international payments without any
assurance that they could safely be
resumed.
theoretically this government still
stands firmly against war debt re-
vision and refuses to accept the COM
monty acknowledged close connection
between debts and reparations. But
Hoover's move demonstrated that our
real-and realistic-policy is to col
lect what we IA of the nine billion
dollars Of outstanding war debts with
out upsetting the rest of the world
and seriously damaging ourselves.
Politicians Of every degree cautious
~ refuse to discuss the future openly
and their orthodox objection to can
collation. appears not to have weak
ened.
Further Concessions Likely
But belief is general in the likeli-
hood that the moratorium will be eX-
tended to at least two years. And
uncertainty is equally widespread as
to what will eventually happen to
debts and ~reparations.
The French have been expressing
to the world their fear that the mora
forum will lead to a revision of the
Young Plan for reparations payments.
That fear, according to the best opin-
ion here, is we'll : founded. The
Hoover proposal itself completely OBJ
literates the Young Plan for the COM
ing year.
Owen D. Young himself is under
stood to have favored a two-year sus-
pension and there is plenty of private
doubt whether a single year will be
enough to put battered Germany in a
position where she can again begin to
pay. But President Hoover, who had
to be sold on the moratorium idea.
was unwilling to take such a long step
at this time.
Must Face Realities
Newton D. Baker, who has always
stressed the depressing effect of the
nter-governmental obligations and a
few years ago v e urged cancella-
ton, indicated the apparent thought

tons as they are then, rather than in

COAL MINE FARLEY

Labor Delegates Will Confer
With Lamont and Doak on

Secretary Doak in calling the confer

the United Mine Workers of America,
10 bring labor leaders together. Lewis
a month ago asked President Hoover to
call a general conference on economic
conditions in the coal industry.
Phillip Murray, first vice president of
the United Mine Workers; Van T. Bit

Pittsburgh, president of the fifth dis
trict of the Mine Workers, will attend.
There also will be representative

The conferences resulted from the
request of President Lewis to President
Hoover for a general conference on the

The President instructed the secre-
taries to ascertain the possibilities of
getting operators and labor together
After the situation has been sounded
thoroughly they are to report to him.

German economic system shall once
more be enabled to work with its own
means. it is now necessary If severe in
terruptionS are to be avoided, that
further Withdrawals shall cease.
Efforts of the ReichSbank and the
Gold Discount Bank are directed to OBJ
tanning from abroad credits of the long
est possible term to aid private bust
ness and to relieve their distress.
Despite all efforts, in the course of
these events one of our largest banking
institutlons-the Darmstaedter und Ma

The government considers it to be
| its duty-and the President has granted
the necessary powers-to meet the great
dangers which threaten as a result of
this suspension.
1T is not question Of saving the
banks assets, but of saving the prop
erty of hundreds of thousands of its
customers, thereby saving their business
from interruption or even from ruin.
From these viewpoints alone the gov
eminent will, in case of deficiencies. step
in. 1t is self-evident that the bank
business will be watched by the gov

pie in this difficult situation retain their
courage and not increase the trouble by
losing their self-conf1dence."

STATEMENT MADE BY MILLS.
German Aid Up to Reserve Bank, Says
Acting Treasury Head.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July l3.-It was up to
the Federal Reserve Bank to decide to-
day whether it cared TO join European
banks in extending aid to Germany.
Ogden l.. Mills, acting Secretary of
the Treasury, after Sunday conference
with officials of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, said: 1T is we'll
known fact that the Government has
no control over the foreign credit poll
cies of the Federal Reserve banks"
Expectations were that an announce
ment would be made by the Federal
Reserve after the meeting Of the direc-
tors of the Bank of International Settle
ments meets at Basel, Switzerland,
today.
At the Sunday conference with Mr..
Mills were Owen D. Young. S. Parker
Gilbert, former agent general for repa-
rations; Gov George L. Harrison of the
Reserve Bank and William H. Woodin.
Clarifies u. s. Position.
It was understood that matters under
discussion were the renewal of the
ST. .O0O, 900 credit to the Reichsbank,
falling due Thursday. and the extern
sion of new credit estimated at from
5000 00O, 900 TO $500 900 900.
No announcement was made except
Mr.. Mills statement, which he said was
merely to clarity the Government S
position and was not intended as an an
nouncement for the bank.
The statement in full said:
The position of the United States
Government in the present phase OF
the German situation is clear. Through
the Presidents debt suspension program
the German government has been re-
lieved of the critical strain due to its
international governmental financial
obligations. Over $500, 000,000 has thus
been made available for the rehabilita-
ton of German industry and commerce
during the present year instead of its
payment upon PREPARATIONS account
That is the only direction in which
our Government has either the oppor-
tunity or the authority to intervene.
Declines to Amplify.
'It is. of course, we'll known that the
Government has no control over the
foreign credit policies of the Federal
Reserve Banks, and under a well es-
tablished and sound public policy they
have been kept free from executive in
f1uence or interference.
1T should not be forgotten that the
problems with which we are concerned
today are fundamentally European prob
lens and can be best solved through
the initiative and concerted action OF
those who are closest to the situation
At his New York home Mr. Mills de-
clined to amplify his statement.

DECISIVE ACTION
NEEDED IN 4S HOURS
France May Have Waited
Too Long to Reply to
Hoover Proposal.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Did France wait too long before an
nouncing her acceptance of President
Hoover's war debt proposal, and was the
financial situation in Germany such
that only prompt action could have
saved the present crisis?
This and dozen other questions are
being asked today as news of the dis
tressing conditions in Germany comes
in, while officials. frankly perplexed
point toward Paris and London as the
centers of action in the economic drama
that is causing anxiety to the whole
world.
Political Guarantees Asked.
When once a run starts on any bank
it takes quick action to prevent loss OF
confidence The German Reichsbank
was in the midst of a run when PreSi-
dent Hoover interviewed. The hesitancy
on the part of France caused European
investors in German securities and even
German depositors to doubt whether
steps could be taken in time to ward of
disaster.
The head of the Reichsbank, Hans
Luther, has been to Paris to solicit
financial aid. Instead of being met
with prompt measures Of relief, he is
requested to give certain guarantees
on political relations as the price of
French financial aid.
While he and others might be willing
to make such concessions, 1t means only
the overthrow of the Bruening cabinet
and the rise of the Fascist or Com
munist groups which are bent on a
program of reputation of all war debts
and the obligations of the Versailles
treaty. France is in no position to
start a campaign of force to achieve
compliance with the treaty, and, hence,
political chaos in Germany Is hardly
the way out of the problem for anybody
America Stands AIoof.
Chancellor Bruening. has probably
advised the French government of his
difficulties and the dangers of yielding
on political questions at this time. The
United States Government stands aloof
because the matters in controversy are
purely European-namely. the abandon
ment OF the German-Austrian Customs
Union and the suspension of naval
building in Germany and other steps
emphasizing the complete pacification
of Germany.
the central banks of the world arc
powerless until the political aspects
have been cleared up. For there is no
use, 1t Is recognized, in pouring short
or long term credits into Germany if
the confidence of Germans with money
Is going to continue to be shaken by
French policy. 1t is the withdrawal
of German deposits by tie Germans
themselves which is causing gold to
flow from the Reichsbank Rigid meas
uses to prevent the export IT gold ,'ill
have to be taken by the German gov
eminent before any large credits can
be extended.
The next 48 hours will require deci-
sive action at London, Paris and Ber-
lin. The United States Government
has done its part and the Federal Re-
serve banking system stands ready 10
do more, but the Job now is largely
European and the opportunities fo-
laundering as well as constructive
craftsmanship are numerous.
