By the Associated Press. 4 LONDON, October 26—The tele- gram from Marquis Curzon, secre- ! tary for foreign affairs, to the Brit- ish charge d'affaires at Washington on October 12 says “The information which reaches: America will have acqualnted the; American government with the ex-| tremely critical economic position that has arisen in Europe owing to failure to find any solution for the reparation problem, which daily be- | comes more acute as the finuncial ' end political condition of Germany grows worse. “There does not among the European powers that unity of thought which either ren- ders common action icasible or will be successiul in tnd.ng un early so- lution. iis maj ¥ 8 govehancnt have during the pasi nine mont s made & serics of proposals to ther aliles for meeting these dificultie., none of which has been so iortunat #s to meet with & measure of ac- ceptance sufficient 10 bring about common action. And yet without suek action, not merely Germany, but Hu.ope, appears to be drifting into ecoromic disaster. L. Co-Operation Essent “In these circumstances his maj- esty's government have for long en- tertained the belief that the co-oper-: ation of the United States govern- ment is an essen.ial condition of any ! real advance toward a settlement. ' America, by reason of her position ory, is more _disinterested of the European powers; at the same time she is directly and vitally concerned with the solution of the European problem, if, for no other reason, because in it is involved ! the question’ of the interallicd debt. “When Mr. Hughes made his decla- ration in Decembed last both reat Britain and Germany made it ciear that they would warmly welcome proffered assistance.

The ma- Jority of the papers does not regard Secretary Hughes’ statement as going much, if any, further than Washing- ton’s already declared attitude: The Daily Telegraph heartily wishes that the United States was ready to joln now unreservedly fn regulating the affairs of Europe, but infers that ' {nothing ts intended. beyond the cau- tious position indicated by President Coolidge a month ago. | The Westminister Gazette, declaring that America’s reservations are not | understandable, says that if Premier Baldwin's appeal has no effect upon France, separate action must be con- sidered. The Daily Mail thinks the American response cautious, vague and cold and | that it carries the world very little, if at all, further. Cafls it Reafirmation. The Daily Chronicle says that Wash- ington’s note merely reafirms in pre- cise langua what was already { known. | The Dafly News, on the other hand, akes the view that Secretary Hughes' reply concedes formnal accession of tthe United States to the confersnce | policy, and publicly avows the inten- tion to consider the summoning of & conference without France, if the {latter refuses to share in it. The { paper declares: “We believe that the turning point in this tragic history | has now at last been reached.” | | The Manchester Guardian_thinks | | that the correspondence and Premier | | Baldwin's statement will carry things | “several steps toward the light” It remarks that America will not nec- | | essarily abstain from a conference 91[ | France refuses.
