DEAL WITH FRENCH.
by GERMANS URGED.
T. w. Lamont Thinks Reich
Should Take Initiative
on Preparations.

By tire Associated Presa
NEW YORK, October 2e.-Thomas
W. Lamont Of the firm Of J. r. Morgan
a. Co. writing IN the Saturday Review
Of Literature today. calls upon Germany
TO take the initiative for q direct read
tustment with France on the repara-
tons problem.
Il is not now a matter for America
TO urge, said Lamont who was q mem

drew up the Young plan, Germany. he
said. should not expect President
Hoover 70 save the situation.
The financier advised Germany to
stop agitating for revision Of the YER
satlles treaty, expressing the opinion
that the French viii be found to be not
unreasonable" concerning any revision
that may be justified provided IL comes
about through orderly processes"
Settlement Held Essential.
We may say" he wrote, that for
II years, ever since 1919, the American
financial or investment community has
been carrying altogether too much Of
this reparations burden, and has thus
made il easier for the creditor powers
TO avoid seeking q really final solution
OF the reparations question"
American people. he said, cannot be
expected TO continue lending money to
Germany TO pay reparations. Some set
Element on realistic basis, he thought,
has now become essential
Some well considered move" for
tariff reduction Is essential to inter-
national economic recovery, Lamont
said. He added that America could not
permanently reconcile her policy of
nigh protectionism with her position as
the worlds leading creditor.
Neither Germany, France nor any
other country should gain the idea Che
wroeel that President Hoover, having
undertaken his one-year debt holiday to
meet an immediate emergency, Is neces-
sar1ly called upon to make the next
move. This whole problem of inter-
national indebtedness Is not now up
20 the American Government. Presi-
dent Hoover has made q great and
helpful gesture 1t now becomes
the prime business Of the European
governments to undertake to settle the
questions Of PREPARATIONS, ana that with
out American initiative"
Appeals for Tariff Revision.
The article made a strong appeal for
tarin revision as an essential pre-
requisite TO world rehabilitation.
American bankers and investors
have about come to the point where
they win no longer feel safe In making
loans abroad while their Government
continues to stick rightly to q tariff
policy that threatens to take away from
foreign borrowers the means for re-
payment of such loans.
Certainly ways could be found, with
all due regard for our industries, which
long ago graduated from the infant
class. TO reduce materially the height
OF our tariff barriers and at the same
time, through encouraging greater irn-
ports In certain schedules, to increase
substantially our customs revenues"

Mr.. W. kaufman and Mr.. Hiber-
man are planning to- establish a
racket control of the fish trade, even
to the detrinent of the bosses: at
