LONDON PINS DEBT
CUT HOPES ON u. S.
Sees Change in Public 0pin-
ion, But Says America
Must Take Initiative.

By the Associated Press
LONDON. August 2o-The initiative
in revision OF the war debts and repa-
rations schedules recommended by the
Wiggin Committee, authoritative Brit
ish circles believe, must come from the
United States.
America. it is contended, is the even
tual repository Of the war debts pay
ments and most Of the reparations
and Europe can do nothing until
Washington leads the way
The British viewpoint remains as It
always has been, that Great Britain
receives only as much in reparstions
as she needs TO pay her war debts
and so long as the debt obligations
remain she will not take the initiative
in urging cancellation or scaling down.
New Hoover Plan Seen.
1t is believed possible that of1cial
and public opinion In the United
States may come around to the British
conclusion that the debt situation is
retarding business recovery and that
eventually there must be some change
A statement in the Daily Herald.
which sometimes speaks for the govern
ment, that European diplomats are dis
cussing the possibility Of a new Hoover
plan for revision Of PREPARATIONS and
scaling down war debts has attracted
wide attention here, but, so far as can
be learned, it has no basis except in
the realization that Washington must
be the source Of any such move
The Herald said plans for an inter
national conference to consider the re-
vision question and the scaling down
Of war debts would be laid when Secre-
tary Of State StimSon returns TO Wash
ington.
There is a feeling in responsible quar-
ters here that public opinion in America
is undergoing some change -Four
months ago, it is contended, the popu-
larity Of Mr. Hoover's moratorium at
home would have been doubtful, but
when it was announced 1t was received
in America with wide acclaim.
The Wiggin report and its implica-
ton, however were of secondary i'm
portance today. while the cabinet con-
centrated its energies on the solution
Of the domestic budget problem. II
was said that Arthur Henderson, the
foreign minister. had not yet absorbed
the report because OF the demands made
upon his time by the budget situation.

i. S. HOLDS WIGG|N
PLAN IS PREMATURE
Prefers to Await Full Bene-
fits of Moratorium Before
Weighing Debts.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Recommendation Of the Wiggin Com.
that the nations of the world should
reconsider the whole question of repa-
rations and debts is received here as
an interesting suggestion from we'll in
tentioned bankers. The recommended
ton itself is considered as having no
practical value for the time being at
least.
The point of view of the admins
tration, as expressed unofficially is that
1t is premature to bring forth futile
discussions about reparations and debts
as long as we cannot yet measure the
full benefit to Germany Of the inter
governmental debt holiday.
The European situation is being close
ly watched by the administration and
for the time being it does not appear
encouraging Washington officials are
inclined to minimize the British f1nan-
cial crisis.
Has Tremendous Reserve.
1t is a budget crisis that troubles
Britain, and responsible officials in
Washington who are closely in touch
with London are inclined to think the
British government will be able to put
its house in order by draStically cutting
national expenditure, by increasing
taxes and by floating relatively small
internal loan. After all, it is said here,
the tremendous reserve of wealth which
the British nation has been agglomerat-
ing in the last so years is still I'M
tounched and the British people have
foreign investments amounting to some
$50, 900, 900 900 They could easily draw
on that reserve to save their budgetary
situation.
GermanyS situation, in the opinion
of Government officials. is quite differ
ent The national reserves of cash of
Germany have been reduced to almost
nothing and that country must meet its
budgetary difficulties out of credits
which the powers have agreed not TO
Withdraw for the time being.
The confidence of the German peo-
pie in their ability to cope with the
present difficult situation has been,
however. substantially enhanced since
the proclamation of the intergovern-
mental debt holiday, and the admins
tration hopes nothing will happen in
the course of the next few months to
shake this confidence.
1t Is hoped here that in the course
Of the coming months some sort Of a
political agreement might be reached
between the French and the Germans,
in which case the entire aspect of the
German financial situation would
change materially.
Would Aid Final Liquidation.
Experience has shown that every
time American diplomacy has stepped
into difficult situations in Europe and
tried to show the way to a settlement,
Europe's reaction has been, What will
YOU do for us If we settle our prob
lems?" This the administration wants
TO avoid henceforth.
It is Of course possible that once the
financial problems of Europe have been
settled or are in a fair way Of settle
ment. the administration would be
willing to help final liquidation Of all
the outstanding major problems. but
no action can be expected from Wash
ington unless preliminary agreement
between European powers can be
reached.

So long as the peace treaties remain
unrevised, Europe viii continue to arm
