Ambassador Dawes at Chicago last
night issued the following statement on
President Hoover's plan:
President Hoover's proposal, made as
1t was in consultation with leaders of
both political parties, represents a
united American position. 1t is an
augury Of improved conditions here
and abroad. I deem it wise and helpful
in every way"
Senator Couzers at Detroit an
nounced that he had given his ap-
proval to the plan. A statement by
the Michigan Senator read as follows:
President Hoover called me by tele-
Tphone Friday night and discussed the
suspension Of inter-governmenta debts;
promised to support him in it at
that time.
"The primary object of the measure,
as understood 1t, is to aid Germany,s
recovery by relieving her of the huge
burden she carries in reparations.

would greatly relieve the deplorable

AS the case stands now, reparattons

Some Of the war debt settlements
