8 YOONG PLAN PUTS GERMANY ON W Provides Proper Stimulus for Reich to Set Financial House in Order. BY LELAND STOWE. By Radio to The Star. PARIS, June 15.—Now that the Young plan is finished and signed, its future significance may be approached through many channels—international, | European or nationalistic. In the Jong run, none of these will be so important as the Young plan's international im-| portance, but for the moment one phase of the reparations settlement should not be overlooked, regardless of its al- most wholly nationalistic character. | This is wraped up in the query, “What { does the Young plan mean for Ger- All of the six nations' experts who have just left Paris entertained very definite ideas on this subject. It may safely be stated that in the minds of most of them, and in the mind of Mr. Gilbert himself, the Young plan resents an opportunity to the Reich ?or much-needed changes in Germany's financial structure and for overhauling and speeding up of German economy as & whole. It is not that the Young report makes any stipulations requiring fiscal reform in Germany. It is rather that the Young plan at last gives Ger- many the proper stimulus to set her | house in order. As long a5 the Dawes | regime left Germany's total obligations | unfixed and her payments in political form, no spur existed to prompt the Relch's statesmen to take steps which would only appear to make Germany’s capacity to pay still higher. "There was no reason for Germany to try to improve her mackine so that its profits would immediately pour in larger streams into the pockets of France and Britain and others. The Young plan| changes all that superficial relationship. | It puts Germany on her own. Ferdinand Eberstadt, epecialist on German loans, expressed it to me. “The | plan would cause no vital changes in| the German financial structure. The| Reich may now set up a committee to supervise the German budget committee with a veto power over all expenditures. There will probably be a revision in the financial relations between the Reich and the States—what the Dawes plan called the hole in the German budget. 1 believe you can expect important im- provements in the German financial machine in the next few years directly as a result of our agreement in Paris.” Provides Financial Reform. Those closest to S. Parker Gilbert know that he entertains the same hope and that he believes one great achieve- ment of the Young plan is that it pro- vides Germany an opporturity for financial reforms which were becoming | increasingly more essential. The sec- ond part of the situation is the question of how Germany will receive the Young plan. Experts such as Eberstadt, who for years was in personal contact with the German economic machine, antici- | pate serious opposition to the Young plan in certain quarters, but they are not alarmed over the possibility of Berlin rejecting the plan. In their opinion the heavy industrialists of the Ruhr will oppose the plan as will the | Nationalists everywhere, but they stat that the manufacturing of electrical in: dustries—the smaller industrialists. will favor it because the Dawes dustrial obligations are swept away. Likewise, they feel certain no serious strain on the Young annuities can come in the immediate future. ‘These factors, aside, there remains one_extremely interesting question in connection with the new regime about to begin in Germany. What will Dr. Schacht do when he returns to Berlin and what are his intentions? Dr. Schacht today, as & result of the ex- perts' findings, is in a most unusual situation in his colorful career. Al- ways & man of the Right, for the first time in his life Dr. Schacht finds him- self supported by the Left and criticized by his own party opinion. What will Schacht do with this unprecedented | Left support? Will he alienate the Left again or modify his course and strive t0_become ‘Germany's new ‘“‘mid- dle man”? ‘There are those who be- lieve that Schacht will take the latter course, trying to hold the Left support won to him by the experts’ accord, and at the same time striving to win back the Right favor which he temporarily lost. If Schacht succesds in doing this, he will inevitably become a po-: litical power and in all probability his friends will urge the Reichs Bank job is not big enough to hold him. Knew Future Was at Stake. many?” Dr. Schacht's denial that he would | ever hold office, given to the Herald ‘Tribune correspondent, the night of the conference’s breakdown in mid- April, can hardly be expected to hold water if fortune promises to make of him a super-Stresemann in German politics, and it is not impossible the experts' accord may do that very thing | for him. Schacht’s choosing of the ways came that night the conference broke down. | He was faced with the problem, #'Shall T quit or go on and get the best agree- ment I can?” Schacht courageously decided to hang on, whereas Voegler quit. But Schacht knew he was de- liberately casting away the old Right support and his entire future in Ger- many would be affected thereby. What | Schacht's future will be is not the least of the interesting questions posed by | the Young plan's consummation. It not too late to pay tribute to Schaeht’ chief assistants, Malchior and Kastl. ‘Their unceasing efforts fo find the | middle ground was an imporiant con- tribution to the experts’ success. It | should be added that in Eberstadt and | later in Samoff these German experts found a man in whom they could have | complete confidence, and thus the Ger- man experts’ relations with the Amer- icans were never estranged or even strained. Unquestionably. beyond his | own unique and unparal tion, one of Young's great gifts toward | the success was the gift of having the right man in the right spot. Without German confidence in the American delegation and particularly in its indi- viduals, no agreement at any figure wouid have been possible. It was not by chance that Schacht, Kastl, Mel- chior and Boden, chief of the German experts, were all at the boat train the other day saying “Bon voyage’ to! Young, Lamont and all the other | American delegates. (Copyright, 1929.) ACHIEVEMENT DAY HELD. Augusta County, Va., Women Turn | Out in Force.
