Understanding Vital.
To the average Frenchman a Franco
German understanding seems more vital
than an agreement with the United
States on financial questions, because.
Germany looms up as his great danger.
1T is more important to negotiate
with Berlin than Washington" said the
business mems newspaper Journee In
dlstrielle, land to determine whether
Germany intends to abandon manoue-
vres endangering the peace OF Europe.
Logic should lead us not to conclude
the American affair before talking with
Germany"
Prominently printed dispatches from
the United States rejecting the opti-
mism there with regard to Franco
American conversations created q burst
of good feeling here. Secretary Mellon
and Ambassador Edge will reach an
agreement with French officials. 1t was
predicted, If the American delegates
will only read the lesson of last nights
session and realize that M. Lavals
stand is the stand of the people.
Rupture Has Been Averted.
The Paris Midi said the lesson OF the
Chamber session was that a rupture of
the financial conversations with the
United States had been averted, as we'll
as the moratorium and perhaps the
Bankruptcy of Germany. THE wave of
confidence will doubtless take on q new
volume and will be reflected in the
stock markets of the world" 1t said.
It was learned in Official quarters
that 1t was improbable the German.
statesmen would be invited to Paris un-
til the Franco-Anerican conversations
were sufficiently advanced SO that
France would know where she stood In
reference to Germany from a financial
standpoint.
Importance was attached by officials
to the manner in which France might
transfer credit for Germany to the
Bank for International Settlements, as
to how the credit might be extended to
other countries and the technical as
poets of the entire operation. T.
The impression here was that It
would be unwise to ask the Germans
to come until the ground for discussion
had been thoroughly prepared. Eco
nomic circles informed the government
1t should be especially careful to pre-
vent the dumping OF German products
In France. 1t was said this question
would be handled at Geneva at the
forthcoming committee meeting OF the
Pan-European Union. .-s
Mr.. Mellon stayed up until q late
hour with Mr.. Edge at the embassy,
getting the news of the session. He
rejoined Mr.. Edge before lunch today
for a discussion of the situation, as af-
fected by the Chambers attitude, pre-
paratory to his conference with French
statesmen this afternoon.
