sive discussion of international

BRITAIN WANTS IT
<By AsK.clat.eo Press.)
London, Dec. 21. —Some form of in- 1
Invention or meriation by the Unit- j
ed ,States on the reparations Problem
as now repored in authoritive quart
ers, revealed that strong interest in
London had not failed to attract the
attention of the British public gen
eiaHy because of the onfirtned belief
ttiat only through satisfutorily settle
ment of this problemc can England
hope to surround her unemploy
ment difficulties.
The request made by a German
trade commission that a committee of
American business men, headed by
Herbert Hoover, visit Germany to un
dertake a thorough survey of econo
mic conditions that would be used as
the basis of anew reparations treaty,
was seen here today as perhaps the
starting point of the flock of rumors
as to, American intervention in the
reparations problems.
Great Britain, it is semi -officially
learned, has informed the American
state department of its consent to
such a Plan. The British government
message, sent in response to an in-1
jptiry from the United States, it was J
Raid, expected to he followed by the i
assent of France to which the Ameri-j
can government also communicated,
the. German suggestion.
The Proposal was made by a Ger- ;
man commission,, headed by Chancel
or Cuno to the United States Cham- '
her of Commerce, which in turn is 1
understood to have asked Secretary j
Hoover to present the plan at a cabi
net, meeting. This was done and the
matter passed into the hands of Sec-!
rotary Hughes.
The Germans Propose that the
American commission determined the
extent of Germany’s ability to pay
and assert that they would agree to
meet this amount if France and.
Grea Britain approved of the plan.
To this end Secretary Hughes open
de negotiations with the. London uml
JParis governments.
