Mellon Visit Seen
as Significant in
View of Events.

(Copyright. 1891. the Associated Press0
A surge of hope, rarely equaled
in it's mass effect, has been shot
into European economic and pol
itics by the few simple words is
sued by President Hoover at Wash
ington revealing his initiative to
assist in economic recovery both
in the United States and abroad.
With a world anXiously watch
ing developments in Germany,
where economic and financial de-
preston hold the key to its po-
iitical fate, the Presidents an
nouncement has come as a pos
sible starting point for a pathway
from the present economic moraSS.
What direction that path will take Is
being eagerly awaited in Germany,
where the government for the past
few months has been fighting desper-
ately against ultra-Radical and ultra
Nationalist elements, each struggling
to defeat the present government OF the
republic.
Was Warning to World.
That fight of the Bruening ministry
reached its high-water mark on June
6, when the cabinet issued manifesto,
ostensibly to the German people, but
at the same time carrying a warning
to the world that Germany had reached
the limit Of its resources and that lib
Grafton from the unbearable repara-
tons burdens Is imperative"
The manifesto called upon the Ger
man people for new sacrifices and was
issued simultaneously with a series of
DEGREES placing new taxes totaling ap-
proximately s400, ,000. 900 upon the pop
ulation. These DEGREES we're described
as "one last effort" beyond which the
German government could not ask its
citizens to go.
One paragraph in the cabinets mani
festo stood out particularly, reading as
| follows:
1.-THE putting forth of the last power
and reserves Of the nation entities the
German government and makes 1t its
duty toward the German people to tell
the world the limits of the privations
We have imposed on our people have
been reached"
Chancellor at Chequers.
While this manifesto was being issued
| in Germany, Chancellor Bruening and
Foreign Minister Curtius were at
Chequers. England, presenting the Ger
man case to Prime Minister MacDon-
aid. Little of what took place at the
meeting has been revealed to the world
but one of the men who undoubtedly
heard full report on 1t is Andrew w
Mellon, American Secretary of the
Treasury, who spent much time with
Mr.. Macdonald this week
Mr.. Mellon has stated his visit was
purely private, but the striking coin
cidence and the announcement from
Washington have been stressed heavily
in the European press.
Aside from the purely economic
aspect Of the German government;

the drive of the Hitlerites and Com

Data on Debts
FIVE NATIONS CHIEFLY
AFFECTED.

BY the Associated Press.
These are some facts and figures
about war debts which would be af-
tected by President Hoover's proposed
one-year moratorium:
Great Britain pays the United States
approximately $l65. 100000 a year in
principle and interest.
Allied war debt payments to Great
Britain total $50, 10000 In 1881 and
1882. and $9l,250,o00 a year there
after.
Germany pays Great Britain $780,
000,000 year in reparations annui-
ties, and thus Great Britain collects
from her creditors enough to cover her
annual debt payment TO the United
States.
France pays the United States in
creasing amounts each year, INSTALL
ments Of principle rising from about
s3l. 600, 900 In 1926 to $115,000,000 In
1887.
Interest did not begin until last year.
and until 1910 will be at the rate Of
only l per cent.
italy pays the United States about
$15,000,000 a year, increasing to about
100000 in 1887.
Germany this year owes 425,ooo, 900

imposing upon the country constantly
increasing tax burdens. He preferred
the inevitable unpopularity of such a
policy to the deceptive role Of the poll
tician who would sustain himself In Of

result of the Bruening policy was the
creation Of the Communists and the
Hitlerites, because it was easy for dena-
