WINGED that more is needed, turned to-

of State Stimson, who agreed to accom-
pany them home to Berlin, where 1t
was hoped his presence would reasSure
the German people that the wealthy
American republic is interested in their
fate
The German statesmen counted on
the friendly gesture of the Secretary OF
State to assist them in retaining the
confidence of their country in eliminat-
ing any tendency toward panic dealing
with the opposition of Nationalist and
Communists. who are dissatisfied with
the results Of the London Conference.
In Berlin the Secretary will discuss
with German leaders the question OF
further financial aid to Germany by
the United States.
Pin Hopes on StimsOn.
He volunteered to make the visit dur
ing the session of the conference which
enSed yesterday after accepting re-
lief rrogram which includes extension
of the e1O0,000,00 loan to Germany
from centrSl banks of the world powers,
concerted measures in all countries TO
maintain existing credits in Germany,
and recommendations for her future
needs.

from private sources, American and
otherwise. And they are convinced also

Of greatest importance to American
financiers.
Mr.. SNmson probably will be the din
ner guest tomorrow night OF American
Ambassador Frederic NJ. Sackett in Ber-
lin. Heads of the German state also
will be present.
On Sunday the chancellor and the
foreign minister will take the Secretary

The Germans hope that the three
day visit will provide them with some
thing more than a breathing space in
which to straighten out Germany's tam
Rled financial troubles.
London, they feel, accomplished moth
ing more than a breathing space so
far as international financial relations
are concerned. A similar period OF
grace In internal affairs resulted from
