MELLON IS ASKED BY WHITE HOUSE
 TO VISIT FRANCE
Secretary of Treasury Will Try to Induce French Na=
 ton to Talk Like the
 Others
By RAYMOND CHAPTER United Press Stan Correspondent)

United Press StaH COrEcSpOAuChsI
 Washington, June 25.-(UP)- President Hoover to-day rested the fate of his momentous war debt holiday plan on the shoulders of Andrew w. Mellon, secretary of the treasury.
 Mellon was ordered from London to Paris to negotiate to-day with France in an effort to persuade her to relent from a stubborn desire to compel Germany to continue partial reparations payments during the year in which President Hoover pro- noses all payments be suspended. At the same time the United States Federal Reserve board joined with the Bank of England, the Bank of France and the Bank of Interna- tional Settlements at Basic, Switz- erland, in extending a credit Of $1OO, 100000 to the strained Ger man reichsbank. The credit will be effective tomorrow, the American share being supplied by the New York Federal Reserve bank. Of the major creditor powers ip-' volved in the Hoover moratorium
 plan, only France remains to be brought into line. England and Italy are whole-heartedly support ing the proposal.
 For the critical task of negotiat- ing with France, Mir Hoover aban. doned the conventional channels or diplomacy and chose his secretary of the treasury-one of the most famous and richest industrialists m the world, who until he entered the cabinet ten years ago at the age of 66 was stranger to the realm of public affairs.
 The presidents decision to send Secretary Mellon to Paris was re- yealed after the French reply to the American proposal was discussed at the White House last evening by MT
 Hoover, acting Secretary of the Treasury ogden L. Mills and Secre- tarv of State Henry l.. Stimson. The conference was the third that the three held during the day and ex- tended far into the dinner hour.
 The French note was understood to follow closely the lines forecast earlier from Paris. It conveyed France's insistence that Germany live up to the letter of the Young plan by continuing to pay the non postponahle part of her reparations into the International bank. These funds later could be turned to Ger many's assistance. the French were understood to suggest. This sug- gestion is not acceptable to the United States.
 The text of the French note will not be published until after 1t has been discussed in the parliament at Paris tomorrow.
 The tenor of the French reply was not unexpected, and administration leaders continued to voice confidence that Paris would swing into line. Secretary Stimson said he was every optimistic" The tenseness in ofh- cial quarters, the long and numerous conferences here and the decision to send Secretary Mellon to confer with the French gave evidence. however, that the situation has reached a critical point.
