MORATORIUM MADE.
YEAR AGO TODAY.
Anniversary Finds European
Nations in Conference
to Solve Problems.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
One year ago today President Hoo
yer, proposing that for one year inter-
governmental debt payments be sus-
pended, galvanized with tremendous
new hope a world staggering under
chaotic financial presSureS.
The anniversary of that event. hailed
as averting catastrophe in Germany
and throughout the rest Of Europe
finds the European governments at last
launched in a conference to solve the
fundamental questions which called
forth that temporary remedy - the
world wars legacy of debts and repa-
rat.ons.
Seeking Solution.
At the conference in Lausanne the
statesmen are seeking now to work out
the reparations question that lies be-
tween them and which the United
States in5ists is none of its affair The
starting point of the Lausanne meeting
was the formal declaration of Ger
many that not one more mark of repa-
ratiOns could be paid. Since Germany
has been virtually the sole source of
funds with which the allies have made
war-debt payments to this country, the
Lausanne objective is some agreement
which will persuade America to revise
or cancel those debts, an act which this
country has refused resolutely to con-
slider up to now.
The moratorium proposal last June
20 received immediate approval in Ger
many. Great Britain and Italy. France
held back, seeing in it the menace to
the Young Plan under which the repa-
rations were paid, and through it to
the Versailles treaty of peace to whose
exacting terms the French Republic in
sists on clinging tight.
General Agreement Reached.
But by July 6 general agreement was
reached after delicate negotiations. The
President had canvaSsed Congress. not
then in session, and secured wide sup
port Details were ironed out, with some
concessions to the French, and the
moratorium was declared in effect as
of July l, 1881.
1t was not approved formally by the
American Congress until early this year,
but debt payments due shortly before
that time had been left uncollected. In
giving the approval Congress recorded
emphatic opposition to any extension Of
the moratorium. to cancellation or to
any further reduction of the debts due
the United States.
So this Government left the further
necessary steps to Europe, rejecting all
invitations to sit in at Lausanne.
Ten days hence the moratorium ends.
But no sizeable payments are due until
December IS. so its actual period of
effectiveness is close on to l8 months.
and abundant time remains for Europe
to map course.

day reported favorably on House reso-
luton to prevent evasion of the new

There you are!" exclaims Europe
impatiently. eve no sooner take you

than you object. You refuse TO CO,

Nonsense" replies the United states.
"All we object to is your obvious eHort
to settle your difficulties at our expense.
Naturally we do not admit that. You
know our viewpoint. Forewarned Is

Such appears to be the situation
here today. 1t is to meet this situation
