That feeling is voiced at the White House, However, it is added that no an nouncement is imminent. Things may be occurring behind the scenes, it is said, “that cannot be exhibited on the stage’’ without prejudice to the cause the Washington govern ment hopes to serve. Such was the brief glimpse of offi cials at the close of the day and was idled with speculation as to what the Washington government might be contemplating towards averting the threatened Anglo-French break .over- German reparations. The White House statement was made after a series of developments beginning with the official admission that Am bassador Harvey hail been called from London for consultations here. It appears certain that the State Department has seriously considered the possibilities of American Partici pation in some form in the proposed economic and financial conference at Brussels, which was projected by the Allied statesmen, but for which itj has not been possible to make defi- { nite plans because of the split over German reparations.

The call of the German envoy at! the State Department however, com-1 ing just before the usual Friday eabi net meeting was regarded as a pos- j sible indication that the President! and his official family might desire to i have before them at once all availa- j hie information as to precise condi-j tions in Germany as they relate to the problem of reparations payments. Whether the ambassador will be able to complete his consultations: here and return to his post before the Premiers meet again is not known j here, but it is assumed that some. means will be taken to make known I to the European statesmen at once; any conclusion which may be reached here as to possible American moves to clear up the reparations tangle, j In some quarters there has been a disposition to link up with the Euro- THE BRUNSWICK NEWS VALUE OF PRINCIPAL FARM PRODUCTS SHOW ENORMOUS INCREASE (Bv Associated Press.)
