NEW NOTE OF CONFIDENCE. French Consider Hoover's Statement of Outstanding Importance. PARIS, June 20 (#).—In PFrench cir- cles, buch official and private, outstand- ce was attached today to Pfllld!nl Hoover's statement indicat- ing that the United States is desirious of doing something to strengthen the sftuation in Germany. Tt was said that Prance, like the United States, wants to help German reconstruction and already has done considerable to that end. France, it is sald, sees a clear factual link between the reparations which ‘Germany pays the allies and the war debts which the allies pay the United States. The question is raised here whether this factual relationship could not be clearly recognized in some bind- ing form. ‘The opinion seems general that any Teduction of the French war debts to the United States and to Great Britain could be followed by an equivalent re- duction of at least that part of the Teparations due from Germany which is not strictly intended for the re- construction of French departments damaged during the war. Above all French spokesmen perceive in the Hoover statement a new and powerful note of confidence in the ‘world's affairs. BRITAIN HAILS DECISION. Expects Great Strides in Temporary Alleviation of Distress. LONDON, June 20 (#)—Great strides toward at least temporary alleviation of Europe’s economic distress were ex- pected in Great Britain today as a consequence of President Hoover's de- to assist in strengthening Ger- Vo le officlally the British govern- ment had nothing to say about the Hoover statement, feeling it is Amer- lctl problem, which can best be solved America wishes, unofficially the Pru!dznt‘l notice of his tntention to act soon was welcomed as preliminary to a step many Britons and continen- tals consider America might have taken advantageously 10 years ago. The private character of Secretary Andrew -W. Mellon's visit to fillllnd still is stressed, but it is remarked that he arrived most opportunely, coming as he did shortly after Chancellor Bruen- ing and Foreign Minister Curtius of Germany had discussed Europe’s prob- lems 'I'.h the heads of the British gov- eroment and when Europe’s financial situation was becoming most desperate. Me. Mellon, it is understood, listened almos$ without oomment to ane Klnr ister / MaeDonald, ‘fi‘ Henderson and Montaj orman, v- ernor of the Bank of gland, in their delineation of the ‘rowlni“lcuun& of the financial situation of Europe. He is Teported to have answered in effect that the situation was bad in America, too. 1t is assumed, however that Mr. Mel- lon informed President Hoover by cable of what he-had been told, and Mr. Hoover's décision to take 2 hand in the situation followed. ‘Two possible solutions were suggested here. One called for postponement of interallied war debt payments to the United States for one or two years, which would lead to a corresponding suspension of German reparations pay- ments. The second was an arrange- # ment for the Federal Reserve Board to extend lon ‘The former c( theu two plans is re- garded by cnthomlu here as the most Ikely to be accepted. BAND CON!
