the whole story of the Hudson
Wohlthat talks.
Sir Percy Harris, opposition Lib
eral asked who was responsible for
leakage of the loan scheme talks
to the press.
That is question to which I
would very much like to know the
answer myself" Mr.. Chamberlain
said.
Lord Halifax spoke in reply to re-
ports Mr.. Hudson and DR.. Wohlthat
had discussed the possibility of a
huge international loan to Germany
in return for a German disarma-
ment pledge.
The foreign secretary said Mr..
Hudson reported to him that the
question of removing existing trade
barriers had been discussed and that
this led to talk of financial steps
which might have to be taken to
overcome the difficulties.
Any views expressed were Mr..
Hudsons own, Lord Halifax said,
and added that Mr.. Hudson had
emphasized this in his conversation
with DR.. Wohlthat.
There is no justification what
ever for stating or assuming that
these remarks arising in the course
OF an unofficial conversation con-
stitute proposal for a loan by this
country to Germany" Lord Halifax
declared.
Mr.. Hudson declared last night
he had given full report of his
talks to Mr.. Chamberlain. He
called the talks purely personal"
but his critics used such terms as
rank indiscretion" and "meddling"
and suggested that he might be
forced to resign.
The Evening News quoted Mr..
Hudson as saying:
"The whole story has yet to be
told. I would like to be able to
make full statement in the House
of Commons. If I resign I shall
make that statement. If don't, no
doubt the Prime Minister will make
the statement"
Mr.. Hudson said he had discussed
in a purely private conversation"
with DR.. Wohlthat the possibilities
of big loan to aid German econ
omy in return for the disarmament
arrangements.
Indicative of the trend of attack
against him was the statement of
the Daily Mail that his position in
the government has been compro-
missed" as result of "denials and
counter -denials" in connection with
his meetings with DR.. Wolfthat.
Embassy Suggested Meeting.
Mr. Hudson said he met DR.. Wohl-
that at the suggestion of the Ger
man Embassy.
Mr.. Hudson said he had made 1t
"abundantly clear to DR.. Wohlthat
their conversation was unofficial"
and that anything that might say
was entirely my personal opinion"
MY talk with Herr Wohlthat," he
added, was strictly confidential and
1 understand it was he himself who
made it public"

WhoIs Behind Hudson in Plan
For Loan to Reich? British Ask
London IS Doubtful
Talk Was on Own
Responsibility
BY WILLIAM H. sTONEMAN,

BY WILLIAM III. STONEMAN,
LONDON, July 24.-"Who exactly
was the man behind Robert s. Hud-
son, undersecretary for overseas
trade, last week When he suggested
to a representative of the German
government that Great Britain and
other democratic powers might
grant gigantic demilitarization
loan to Germany in return for
Fbehrer Adolf, Hitler's promise to
disarh and be good?"
This was the biggest question in
British politics today as details Of
the fantastic, and in many ways
hare-brained, plan proposed by Mr..
Hudson to the Germans were made
known to the public.
Mr.. Hudson himself yesterday de-
clared emphatically that the plan
was his own and that he had sug-
gested it to DR.. Helmuth Wohlthat,
economic adviser to the German
four-year plan, during the latter's
visit here last week as a purely
personal idea. The German En-
bassy, Mr.. Hudson declared, had
asked him to meet DR.. Wohlthat.
At the same time, Mr.. Hudson,
being minor member of the gov
ernment, cannot speak entirely as an
individual, and unless he is an utter
ly irresponsible person he would not
have dared to talk to DR.. Wohlthat
about such an important matter un-
less be had had the backing Of
more important people. He has also
admitted, since the story first leaked
out in the American press, that he
reported to Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain on Friday, the day
after he had seen DR.. Wohlthat.
Most people here accept one of
three theories in regard to the back
ground of the Hudson plan.
The first is that Mr.. Hudson was
instructed to make his unofficial"
suggestion to DR.. Wohlthat as a sort
of trial balloon, (which, if it sue
ceeded, could be followed by more
serious attempts to talk business to
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler. Since the
Hudson plan called for supervised
disarmament of Germany as one
condition of the international loan
10 Germany, it was patiently not a
serious proposition. Those who be-
lieve that the Hudson plan was a
first shot in the dark by the appeas-
ers ascribe it variously to Sir John
Simon, chancellor of the exchequer:
Sir Samuel Hoare. home secretary,
or Sir Horace Wilson, Mr.. Chamber
laln's confidential adviser, that best
known appeaser in the British En-
pire
The second theory is that the plan
was put forward as part of the cur
rent British propaganda campaign
the purpose of which is to convince
the Germans that they have nothing
10 tight for and that they can have
everything they need if only they
Will forsake the warpath.
The third theory is that Mr.
Hudson and his friends deliberately
tried to forestall any reversion to
the policy of appeasement by ad-
vancing this weird and clearly
ridiculous plan which would have
the maximum amount of publicity
but could not possibly be accepted
On one thing every neutral OBJ
server in London is agreed. If this
plan for a demilitarization loan tc
Germany was put forward seriously
then it is high time that its authors
| should take up tatting or some
equally harmless form OF amuse
ment.
