UNCONDITIONAL PAYMENT CRUX France Ready to Aid Germany to Foster Solidarity. ¥ Br the Associated Press, PARIS, June 23 (#.—Infor- mation in diplomatic circles indicates France is now work- ing on a definite counter proj- ect to’ the Hoover war debt proposal, which will be submit- ter to the cabinet tomorrow. This counter plan, it was said today, is based upon Mr. Hosver's principle of helping Germany, but it also takes into consideration ! Prance's desire to keep on with the .[ Young plan and to assist Germany ¥ by payments through the Bank ‘for | International Settlements. ? — ' PARIS, June 23.—The French €abinet today discussed two DOs- | ;flble answers to President Hoo-; - wer's war debt moratorium pro- posal, and both of them were ‘s gurned down. * One of the suggested replies was Yormulated by the foreign office and the other by Finance Minis- ter Flandin. When agreement was found im- possible the cabinet meeting was adjourned until tomorrow, which time Premier Laval hopes to be able to submit a draft which his colleagues will accept. Although it was impossible at the conclusion of today’s cabinel session to forecast what form the French reply would take, it was truistic tone at the coming disarma- | light-heartedly, because it must reckon known that an attempt would be . made to settle the question of un- conditional reparations in a way satisfactory to the government. Criticism of the Hoover proposal has been largely directed at the fact that it would mean the loss of reparations payments tagged “unconditional,” and, therefore, not subject to postponement un- der the Young plan. | One minister declared after the | net session that France was| y to aild Germany in order to fester international solidarity. He said, however, that his govem-| ment certainly would insist on| a distinction between conditional | and unconditional reparations f payments. | it is unlikely that any definite | information about the French re- | sponse will be known officially | until after tomorrow’s cabinet meeting. Premier Confers With Ministers. In preparation for that meeting Pre- mier Laval, Foreign Minister Briand, Budget Minister Pietri and Finance | Minister Flandin conferred this after- | noon. Meanwhile the lobbies of the Cham- ber of Deputies reflected a scmewhat more sympathetic attitude toward the Hoover proposal than was evidenced yesterday. The Socialists of the Chamber de- cided today to issue a manifesto ap- proving the Hoover plan, so far as con- | ditional reparations payments are con- | cerned, but making reservations re- | garding unconditional payments. Several Deputies have filed notices of their intention to question the gov- ernment abcut the Hoover plan in the | Chamber this week. In diplomatic circles it was reported that the French government was draft- ing a counter plan to be considered by the full cabinet tomorrow. This plan, it was said, would endeavor to meet President Hoover's idea, namely, that Germany be helped. Le Journal Des Debats says France, Italy and Belgium exchanged views to- day on the Hoover plan. The paper declares that the political aspzct of the proposal was discussed, and also that conversations have been held by treas- | ury experts of the thre: nations. ‘ Laval Refuses Comment. | | Premier Laval absolutely refused to| comment upon a terse official com- | munique whicr he issued after the cab- inet session.

PARIS, June 23.—In the absence of an official statement on the Hoover moratorium proposal, it was said in ministry of finance circles today that the government had decided the Young plan should remain intact in so far as German reparations payments are con- cerned. This does not mean that the Amer- ican plan would be rejected, it was said, but that a suggestion may be made whereby its’ results can be attained without breaking the international agreement embodied in the Young plan and the Bank for International Settle- ments. Alternate Plan Suggested Unofficial Proposal Provides for German Payment of $125,000,000 to World Bank Which She Could Borrow at Discretion of Bank Officials. ‘The solution suggested under this formula provides for payment by Ger- many in the fiscal year of 1931 of 500,000,000 gold marks (about $125,- 000,000) to the World Bank. France would not draw against this, but would leave it for the bank to lend to needy European powers for a period to be determined. Obviously, Germany would be the principal borrower, and the deficit cre- ated in the French budget would be made up by an issue of short-term treasury bonds. Thus no new taxes would be imposed on the French people to met the -deficit caused by the re- linquishment of the payments. HODVER PLAN HELD DISARMANENTSTEP éltaly Says Proposal Must Be | So Regarded—Terms of Acceptance Outlined. BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN. By Cable to The Star. ROME, Italy, June 23.—Ttaly's con- | ditlons for acceptance of President | Hoover's proposal for postponement of the war debt payments due the Urited States during the coming year are re- vealed as follows: Germany must agree not to take ad- vantage of the breathing spell offered | by & moratorium by attempting to ad- | vance her political position in Central at | Europe and must give up the Anichluss; idea. Step Toward Disarmament. | President Hoover's move must be re- garded as a preliminary step toward ! disarmament by all nations and there | must be a tacit understanding that France will assume a slightly more al- ment conference than it has evidenced s0 far. All former allies must co-op- | erate in this move. | President Hoover’s move for post- | ponement of the war debts has made a | profoundly favorable impression in| |Italy. It has been the Italian policy | during the last year to encourage treaty | revision and it is hoped that the Hoover move will result in a general overhaul- jing of the reparations and war debt settlement. Ready to Make Sacrifices. Foreign Minister Dino Grandi has openly stated that Italy is ready to make sacrifices in order to assist Ger- many and the other defeated nations out of their difficulties and the authori- tative Virginio Gayda, writing in the Giornale D'Italia, has suggested Italy’s willingness to forego those payments due her from Germany which exceed the amount paid by Italy on war debts. Italy, which on June 15 made its annual payment of 50,823,000 marks (812,095,874) to the United States, will be called upon to make some sacrifices if she accepts the moratorium plan and allows Germany to postpone reparation payments during the coming year. The margin hetween her receipts from Ger- many and payments to the United | States and Great Britain on war debts | Must be adopted at once; otherwise the | would this year amount to $8.956,000. | “forest fire” of which he spoke last Sat- | Germany’s ‘reparations payment due.| Urday would be dangerously spreading. |Italy in 1931 amounts to 173,450,000 | marks ($41,281,000), while Italy's pay- | ments to Great Britain and the United States amount to approximately 136, {000,000 marks ($32,368,000).

FRENCH CHAMBER HOLDS PLAN' FATE Could Force Ministertal Crisis 1 as One Way to Delay Ap- proval of Debt Proposal. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The French Government is apparent- | ly in a dificult position because of | President Hoover's proposal for a debt | and reparation holiday. Prom newer information received | from Paris by the State Department it seems that the President's proposition | | has met with something more than a | cool reception. There is & general feel- | |ing in French political circles that| President Hoover intends to rush France into a hasty declsion on a mat- | ter vitally important to her not only from the financial, but from the politi- | cal point of view as well. | Well informed quarters in Washing- | | ton are of the opinion that even if the | French cabinet wanted to accept the| | President’s proposal it cannot do so with the somewhat incensed public opinion and with the French Chamber | of Deputies, which is still in session. Chamber Holds Power, Moreover, the French Chamber has the power of overtL.rowing the admin- | | istration whenever it does not agree | with an action of th> cabinet. Conse- | quently, the Freneh government must | handle the situation with greater care than the President of the United States. | It is explained that th> French gov- | ernment could accept President Hoover's | proposal without much difficulty, but that it would have to refer the matter to the Chamber because important ad- justments would hava to be made in | the French budget to meet the loss re- | sulting from the suspension of payments by Germany. Even If the French govern- | ment could postpons this issue for a while, any member of Parliament could | interpellate the government and if the | Chamber 1s opposed to the Hoover plan | the government which accepted it would | | be overthrown. A ministerial crisis }wh&ch may last for a number of weeks would jeopardize the plan, which, ac-| cording to Secretary of State Henry L. | Stimson, in order to be really successful Harmony to Be Sought. Opinion in responsible quarters here is the French government will do its | | utmost to harmonize France's vital in- terests with the interests of the rest of Europe and the Unitea States. Others closely following developments in France feel that the French cabinet will not “play politics” with such an important proposal and will noi provoke a con- venient ministerial crisis in order to | dodge the issue. " On account of this uncertain state of affairs the situation in Paris is being watched with anxiety by the President and the State Department. Il Duce's Silence Surprises. A certain amount of surprise has been expressed in diplomatic circles over Premier Mussolini’s silence. It has been stated that Il Duce, although & dictator and generally believed to be in a position to take decisions without consulting anybody, does not feel justi- fied to reply hastily. He intends first to consult his minister of finance and leading Italian bankers. Ttaly's reply . however, expected hourly and, ac- cording to indications from Rome, will be satisfactory.

United States park police will insist that children refrain from using the city’s fountains and the reflecting pool of the Lincoln Memorial as public batht ing places. Capt. R. C. Montgomery, the superintendent, in making this an- nouncement, ascerted that the office is not opposed to the children, but in kindness to them and to save them from infected water the rule must be enforced. Numerous tourists have complained to him, Capt. Monigomery said, that the beautiful statues of the city are marred by children bat in the ad- jacent waters. T fountains are not constructed for bath- ing purposes and added that pools which are not mechanically purified periodically are a source of infection, including eye, ear, nose, throat and foot troubles. Capt. Montgomery explained that the park police have been tryl to per- suade the children, through kindly methods, to abandon their bainhing in the fcuntains, but this system has ap- parently failed. He asserted tha‘ the locki! enders and will continue to Hoover to Seek Congress View in Canvass. OTHER NATIONS ARE IN ACCORD |Stimson to Outline Policy in Radio Talk. The American Government Is seeking earnestly the co-operation of France in the intergovern- mental debt suspension plan pro- posed by President Hoover to aid in the economic recovery of the world. In the highest official quarters it was clearly intimated today that attempts to coerce France into acceptance of the plan are not the program, and that reports of pressure being brought to bear on the French are erroneous. On the contrary, efforts are be- ing made to show France that the plan now advanced by President Hoover was not “cooked up” in advance by this Government with the governments of other Euro- pean nations and then handed to the French. It was stated today, for example, on the highest authority that there has been no prelimniary dis- cussion of this plan with any other nation. The President, who nat- urally has been following the sit- uation in Germany with keen solicitude, acted when the finan- cial crisis in Germany of the last two days of last week indicated that unless he acted at once dis- aster was imminent, and France was the first o the other nations notified when he reached a de- cision to act. That was Friday. Although President Hoover has Te- ceived assurances irom leaders of both parties and all factions in the Senate and House that they will support the legislation necessary for carrying out America’s part of the debt suspension plan, he is canvassing the entire mem- bership of both houses of Congress, it became known today, so that he will have & complete record of their posi- tions on the proposal. Text of Hoover's Communication. The text of the President's communi- cation to members of Congress was: “You, no doubt, have seen my state- ment in Sunday's press of the proposals of the American Government in respect to postponement for one year of all intergovernmental debts “Inasmuch as the proposal is. of course, contingent upon action by Con- gress and as the matter is one of na- tional interest having no partisan char- acter, in that light I consulted before action the Senators and Representa- tives of both parties present in Wash- ington and as many as possible who were accessible in the country. “This list of generous support from members was shown in the public statement referred to above. I regret that difficulties of communication ren- dered it impossible to make contact with all members of the Senate and House. “I do not wish to press any mem- ber for reply as to his views if he pre- fers not to give them at this time, yet if you are favorable to the proposal in the first paragraph of the statement above mentioned it would undoubtedly #id in the negotiations now in pra ress if you could inform me thereof.’ Conferences Arouse Specylation. A series of conferences between Treas- ury and Federal Reserve officials re- vived speculation over a possible exten- sion of credit to the German Reichs- bank. Undersecretary Mills was in closs touch during the day with'Gov. Eugene and also conferred by telephone with Gov. George L. Harrison of the New York Reserye Bank. ‘The Reserve Board held its regular meeting, but no public announcement was made. A credit extension by the New York bank would come before the board for approval. Mills said credit arrangements be- tween central banks were not unusual, but declined to say whether such a pro- posal was under consideration. Officials (Continued on Page 4, Column 1.)

Her doctor re- ported by telephone, however, that while the injury was painful it was in no way serious, as the cracked verte- brae were not dislocated and would mend easily and quickly. The X-ray examination showed Miss Nichols had suffered no internal injury and, besides the cracked vertebrae, her only hurt was a superficial cut on the knee. ‘When the plane crashed at the end of the first leg of a projected solo flight across the Atlantic, Miss Nichols was thrown forward and an oil tank behind her tore loose and struck the end of her spine. The doctor said that, as soon as the extreme soreness incident to the spinal injury, wore off, Miss Nichols would be tightly bandaged and could then leave at once for home. It was indicated this might be in three or four days. It was emphasized t cracking of vertebrae was not serious if they were not dislocated, thus pressing upon and twisting the nerves running through the spinal cord. e i German “‘Red” Dies in Clash.
