EVENIN 'WORLD TRADE BOON SEENIN DEBT PLAN { |Hoover Proposal Accepted as Turning Point in De- pression, Crisis.- BY MARK SULLIVAN. The sensational change in the busi- | ness psychology of the whole world thaf occurred last week is universally attrib- uted to President Hoover's action about war debts, The assertion is true enough as re- spects the element of 'psychology. in business, | however, | bave occurred and cannot now go ahead {unless the fundamental factors are right. It has been the belief in Wash- ington since before June'l that the de- structive forces of business disintegra- tion had largely worked themselves out and that conditions were right for the beginning of recovery. As of about the 1st of June there were two principal conditions about which those most responsible in Wash- ing on were vigilant. One was the state of farm crops in America. It was be- !lieved that, as respects America, every other tand that if farm crops should turn Jout to be good this condition would set | business recovery on its way. In short, !the expectation” was that business in general would watch the week-to-week \teports of the Department of Agricul- ture on the state of growing crops. Recovery Predicted. | If the reports should show normal | progress until about Sep.ember, marked business recovery, would be' evident about that time. Crop reports up-to- ite are favorable, and there is no anx- !jety ebout that condition, although it is imposeible wholly to forget so recent an ' experience as the drought that came in the late Summer of last year. The other condition. which has been a matter of concern to Washington for several weeks, was Central and East- ern Europe. It was realized that much of the continuation of financial depres- sion during April and May. expressing itself in the forced sale of securities in New York, was directiy que to bank- | ing and economic difficulties in Austria, Germany_and some other countries of Eistern Europe. Banks in all countries. being forced to find meney. | ! conducted liquidation that caused much | of Europe to throw the best American securities on the market. In addition, the menace of revolution in Germany 'had caused an increasingly urgent flight of capital from that country | If. es seems to be the case. the " mediate financial crisis in Germany, well as Austria, has been cured by the action about postponement of that one of the causes of depression in America will be ended. Values Are Boosted. One of the principal reasons for con- fidence in the lasting quality of the rise in business barometers that occurred last week is the fact that it is world- wide. Enormous values have been add- ed to commodities, crops and securities in literally every country in the world In spite of all the evidence, there is some apprehension in Washington about the s-nsational magnitude and {extent of the rise. The addition of , nearly $10,000,000.000 to the value of crops. commodities and securities in | America cannot be repeated week after | week. At some point the rises in prices | must pause to wait for actual volun | of industrial activity to catch up. It {is realized also that there are some | real, even thought relatively minor, ob- stacles to be hurdled before business can go on to high tide. In any event the seven davs ended at 6 oclock Saturday night, which be- | gan with President Hoover's announce- ment the Saturday before, composed & temarkable week. IL probably justifies {even the excited assertions of Euro- peans that politically and interna- tionally it was the most important week since the armistice.

June 29.—Nego- tiations are nearing completion, the government. announced yesterday, for a visi British banking experts to investi- | gate the country'’s financial situation.

A suggestion is understood to have been mad> that a fund sufficient to meet the government's obligations be set aside, but retained temporarily in the couniry to prevent a drop in ex- |hange, which might result fron a ship- ment of too much gold out of Chile.

BY CONSTANTINE BROW) Both the State Department and dip- lomatic circles in Washington are opti- { mistic about the prospects of an early settlement of the present intergovern- mental debt and reparations problem through the medium of President Hoo- ver's one-year moratorium proposal. It is believed in well informed quar- | ters here that an agreement may be | announced this week, representing a compromise between the original Hoo- ver plan and the French counter pro- { posals. So optimistic is this feeling that |it 88 said that nothing but a few de- tails remain to be straightened out be- fore a solution is officially announced Developments in Plan. Developments are described as follows Weshingt .n was confronted with a delicate situstion due to PFrance's in- sistence that Germany should pay the | unconditional slice of the reparations tegrity of the Young plan.

Mellon acting as a friendly mediator and adyisor. i It appears now German conversations have had a sat- isfactory result and that both nations have reached an agreement in princi- ple. submitting it yesterday to this Government. Its terms naturally are being kept confidential in order not to upset the working out of certain im- poitant detals. Diplomats Kept Busy.
