The next step In debt postponlenlent

This technical step is merely to settle
details within and subject to tile al

The concrete effects Of the Hoover
plan begin with a longtime fllnda-
mental political and social result to
Germany, and indirectly to the rwor1d.
The original cause of Mr.. Hoover's ac-
ton was that Germany politically and
socially was on the way to 60 either
Communist or Fascist. probably the nat
ter. The chief reason was that radical
leaders were able to tell the German
people that the world regarded that
country as a pariah and q criminal and
that the policy of the other nations, was
to keep Germany chained and helpless.
President Hoover's action was con-
vlncing evidence that this charge by
the radical leaders Is not true. His &C.
Cion has seized upon the imagination of
tne German people as proof that the
world Is willing to treat Germany with
justice and sympathy. Hence the con-

One evidence of this is that these
radicals are the only groups lin Ger

on the contrary have reviled President
Hoover and America. The German
