DEBT AGREEMENT GIVEN APPROVAL General Satisfaction Ex- pressed in Official Circles of Washington. News of the settlement of the German reparations problem, received here yes. terday, gave general satisfaction in ministration, official, diplomatic d congressional circles. The fact that a definite understanding had been reached was received with gratification even among those who do not like the terms of the agreement themselves. The prevailing feeling here is that the failure of the reparations conference would have been calamitous for Europe and for the rest of the world and that it might have had results of the gravest nature. On the other hand, the mere fact that there has been an agreement is looked on as calculated to work for stabilized conditions and peace and to glomou the well being not alone of rope but of other countries. It is expected to have a tendency to remove the jealousies and bitterness which have been manifest in various ways as between Germany and some of her late foes by reason of clashes over reparations and some of the pro- visions of the Treaty of Versailles. Await Official Text. Diplomatic and official circles pre- ferred to give no public comment on the settlement until the official text bad been received. Absence of many House members over the week end also tended to cause silence in that direc- tion. High officials and diplomats pri- vately, however, the Dbelief the settlement was fortunate and would bring on an era of good feeling and prosperity in Europe. A number of prominent members of the Senate declared themselves much pleased over the fact there had been an agreement. They feel that it makes for better understandings in Europe and that the financial and other effects the world over will be helpful. Senator Claude A. Swanson, ranking Democrat on the foreign relations com- mittee, said: “It is very gratifyingthat the allied and central powers of Europe have come to an agreement on repara- tions. It means an insurance of peace people and the financial and industrial stability of Europe. favorable condition in Europe will be most beneficial to the entire world. I think that the world is to be congratu- lated on the successful consummation of these negotiations. Owen D. Young is deserving of the highest commenda- tion for the patience, skill and ability he has displayed in accomplishing these wonderful results.” Sees Good Effect. Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, Mrubfifln, said: “I cannot speak with knowledge of the details of the set~ tlement as I have not yet seen them. But to me the most important thing is that & definite understanding has been | Bo reached. So lons as the situation was unsettled and indefinite, it had serious possibilities. I believe the announce- ment of a definite settlement will have & good effect both in Europe and in this country.” Senator Sam G. Bratton of New Mex- fco, Democrat, member of the appro- priations committee, said: “News of an agreement on German reparations is This | Congress, held here at the call of Com- ' True to Tradition l Like her mother and grandmother before her, Ethel Barrymore Colt, daughter of the famous actress, will be graduated from the Convent of Notre| Dame at Moyland, Pa., June 5. —Associated Press Photo. GEOREIANS SEEK TARFF BARRERS Congress to Be Asked to TaxI Coconut Oil, Jute and Long Staple Cotton in Bill. By the Associated Press ATLANTA, Ga, June 7.—A resolu- tion asking Congress to apply the pend- ing protective tariff bill to long staple cotton, coconut oil and other edible oils, jute, hides, pimentos and pecans was adopted today by the Georgia Tariff missioner of Agriculture Eugene Tal- madge. A supplementary resolution, intro- duced by Representative T. N. Brown of Swainsboro, made clear that the meeting was not taking a stand either for or against a protective tariff policy in principle, but was merely asking “for consideration of the l‘lg:lbs of the South der t.h_g protective tariff policy now Adopted Without Dissent. Both resolutions were adopted with- out dissent. The first resolution em- wered Commissioner Talmadge to ead & committee of five to appear be- fore the Senate fmance committee in Washington with the resolution when the tariff bill again comes up for con- :éd:’l;lflgenémlt also wiill b,e presented e a congressional delegation. Mr. Talmadge and his committee also were instructed to co-operate with sim- ilar committees from other Southern States. Mr. Tal has not yet an- nounced the members of the Georgla committee. It will have & good effect ton, Republican, chairman of merce committee, sald: “I am giad to hear an agreement has been reached. 1t should have a good effect financially, industrially, commercially, morally and in every way possible not alone in Eu- rope but in country and through- out the world.” Senator James E. Watson, Republican leader of the Senate, sald: “The an- nouncement that an agreement has been Teached is gratifying.” Senator William E. Borah, Republi- can, chairman of the foreign relations committee, said he did not desire to comment. Some Dislike Terms. ‘While the general expression.among Senators is one of satisfaction that an reached and the arising hp“'ll by blem has been removed, there S?me.m entire commendation of the terms of the settlement. Those who take the view that Germany alone can- not be held responsible for the war maintain that he terms are too onerous upon that nation. They also say that the present settlement will no_ more prove to be permanent than the Dawes agreement _and that in the course of the next 5 or 10 years, as Germany feels herself stronger, she will demand a revision of the terms and insist on tting them or, perhaps, even refuse g pay unless there is a revision. From this point of view, the agreement 1s Jooked on &8 only another temporary adjustment, which will serve for the present to quiet down agitation. It is pointed out that the German reparations has not been linked Il&:lth the settlement of the allied del to this Nation arising from the loans and advances made to the allied powers in the war period. Now that the repara- ment has been made, it 18 pointed this country is in & stronger position with reference to ar- riving at & settlement of the French debt.

Harry D.

A tariff on jute alone, Mr. Wilson sald, would mean increasing consump- tion of cotton in the United States by about 3,000,000 bales. He stressed what he termed the seriousness of co- conut ofl's competition with American vegetable oils, saying that coconut oil enters the United States from the Phil- ippines duty free. A. M.
