BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Europe's economic future, and par- ticularly the drop in the value of the French franc, is .occasioning much |more concern here than appears on the sarface. President Coolidge has gone out 6f 1his way several times to make it i'clear that Owen D. Young, Charles G. Dawes and Henry M. Robinson, who ' are serving w3 expert advisers to the reparations comiission, have o offi- government, but the purpose of that declaration {8 merely to prevent the Hiram Johnsons and Medill McCor- imicks from charging that the Ameri- can government is meddling in Eu- rope once more. The greatest interest prevails here in what Messrs. Dawes, Young and | Robinson are doing and may do. It is no exaggeration to say that the government here has so much -con- fidence in the ability of these three men that it is hoping the entire rep- aration problem may be solved ulti- mately as a result of their efforts. “ Confidence in Youns. Owen Young is an intimate frlend of President Coolidge. The President has unlimited confidence in _Mr. Young's judgment. When Mr. Cool- idge entered the White House one of his first talks on foreign affairs was with Mr. Young, who had just re- turned from a trip to Burope. What Owen Young says will have all the weight of an official recommendation whenever it is made. It is fmportant to bring out this re- lationship because the denial of offi- cial connection is intended for home consumption, and is, offcourse, liter ally true, but the government's in terest in the mission of the three e: perts is as great, if not greater, than It would be if the mission were official. For one thing, neither the President nor Secretary of State Hughes is send- ing Instructions to the three experts, They are working independently..Th chances are that if they had been officially appointed the government here would have felt a measure of responsibiiity for every move made and every statement uttered. As it is, the experts are free to express themselves—and Mr. Dawes already has done so—in a fashion that is un- restraine dby diplomatic etiquet or governmental Instruction Everything that the three Ameri- can experts do is, of course, officially reported by Col. J. A. Logan, who represents the United States gov ment in the capacity of “observer” at the reparations commission meetings He has an office with the delegates from other countries and has at his command all the data which the tother nations have collected with r spect to reparations. Since his busi- ness is to report to the Department of State on all things happening in the offices of the reparations commission, he reports in the natural course on {the work of the American experts. He lalso places at their disposal any “in- formation” he may get either' from Washington or elsewhere. Mr. Coolidge has found it necessary to spread again a denial that the United States plans further participa- i tion in European affairs. He does inot understand that America is par- ticipating at the moment in Europe's i problems. So far as the government ncerned, it is a helpful and col- lateral influence only in the settle- iment of what it rezards primarily as a business and economic problem. | The fall in the value of the French !franc has stimulated the, theory that . France now will be more tractable in considering the economic rather than | the political phases of the reparations | controvers; ! "While this kind of a development i would be welcomed, the depreciation {in French currency has, on the other {rand, caused some uneasiness.- Know- {ing the relationship of all the cur- {rencies of Europe to each other, the {fear is growing that a collapse of {foreign exchange may bring a cur- tallment in purchases from Amer- ica on the part of Europe and ad- orsely affect America’s economic tuation, especiaily as the next presi- dentlal campaign approaches. Con- versely, an early settlement of -the | reparations question would be ex- {pected to start foreign exchange up- ward and bring increased buying from tamerican producers. The three ex perts may be technically “unofficial !but they have in théir hands an in- {fiuence which keeps the American { sovernment very close to their work {and exceedingly unxious for - their {success. No mission, unofficial cr i official, in recent vears has developed 80 much real importance in govern- ment circles here. | (Copyright, 1923.) (REALTORS’ SESSIONS .
