SOCIAL CALL" DOUBTED.
London Believes Mellon Is Studying
European Economic Set-Up.

European ECOuOllHC OGt-Ops
BY Gable TO The Star.
LONDON, June 18.-In so promptly
seeing Premier Macdonald and Mon
tagu Norman, governor of the Bank Of
England, after his arrival in London,
Andrew w. Mellon has increased the
difficulty of trying to convince the Brit
ish people that he is here entirely on
q private visit
about what was discussed when the
American Secretary of the Treasury
was with Premier Macdonald at the
House Of Commons for an hour on We'd
nesday, the general conclusion today is
that the major economic problems of
Europe were touched upon. But If Brit
ish statesmen fail to go very deeply
into such subjects with Secretary Mel
lon, he will find large section of the
British press determined to inform him
fully how much the Strengthening out
of Europe is dependent upon action by
the United States.
Austrian Loan Discussed.
Commenting today on the tempo
rary stabilizing effect which the bank
of Englands $20,000,000 loan to
Austria will have on that country's
finances, the London Times declares
IIldL events III the laSC lew InOntIS
have proved beyond a doubt that some
drastic reorganization of economic con-
ditions in Central and Eastern Europe
Is urgently needed.
Mr.. Mellon needs only to turn to the
Manchester Guardian to find something
in the nature of a ready-made plan
which, if adopted by America, would
in this liberal papers opinion give the
Hoover government credit for playing
- lark IT,, fIA af nf 4
envisageS the suspension of war debt
payments over given period in re-
turn for drastic reduction in arma-
ments, which should be guaranteed at
the disarmament conference in Geneva
next February Also the relief pro-
vided by the Young plan in the form
of a moratorium might be increased
by the actual cancellation of a certain
amount of the reparations payments.
German Dictatorship Feared.
The Guardian adds: THE startling
fact about the situation in Europe, as
Messrs. Mellon and Stimson will see it,
cannot fail to be the intcrdependence
between economics and politics-be-
tween the immediate crisis and the
Versailles treaty." Mr.. Mellon is
warned that the alternative to the
Bruening government in Germany Is
merely in reputation of reparations.
which might involve losses to the United
States in war debts, but in catastrophe
that would bury American loans and
Investments beyond reach for an in
definite period"
The London News Chronicle tells
Secretary Mellon that only the United
States can relieve the extraordinarily
difficult financial situation, this papers
plan being the sacrifice by America of
some of the war debt payments.
In short, very active press campaign
