The play is marked by the

that the audience was stunned

WAR DEBT QUESTION
HARD NUT TO CRACK
Present Arrangement Declared
One of Most Intricate
IN History

Washington, Oct. 27.-(P)-If, from
the conversations of Premier Laval OF
France and President Hooer, revision
Of all war debt settlements results,
one Of the most intricate financial
structures in international history
must be torn down and rebuilt.
The juggling of billions of dollars
by the worlds statesmen to the sat-
isfaction of more than half a dozen
nations would be involved.
Chancellor Bruening has already
been represented in Berlin as ready
to open the reparations question for
revision of the Young plan.
This is in conformance with the
plan of Premier Laval and President
Hoover that after Germany's pay
ments are adjusted on a basis of
her ability to pay. America would
view from the same perspective pro-
posals to cut the debts of her former
allies.
From congress, however, has come
no definite trend of thought yet to
indicate its eventual attitude toward
a scaling down of war debts.
Germany's expected step is to in
woke the clause of the Young plan
which permits her to seek revision of
PREPARATIONS upon proof of her inca
pacity to pay.
There is no such provision, how
ever, in war debt agreements cover
ing $11 .0O0, 0O0, 900 between the United
States and European nations. Any
effort to curtail these payments would
have to be initiated through diploma
tic channels.
The Young plan provides that
Germany, with total payments to
make Of about $4,000, 600, 900 can, If
she finds herself unable to meet
them, declare her situation to the
creditor governments and the bank
for international settlements.
