Change Due in Eight Months. Within six or eight months the corner wnll have been turned. If the money is not found by the 2sistent Dr. Luther, then what? No- £oay seems io know, and those wiih Spinions prefer to leave them unsaid. Here arises another problem which y prove a stumbling block—namely, the French dctermination to make po nomic need. So long as it was a que: tion of the Hoover plan, the Germans were sure that President Hoover could not allow his scheme to fail, and they refused to give any political guaranties except the bare promise that they would not use any of the unpaid reparations $0 Increase their military budget. ¥ Opposes Customs Union. This does not eatisfy the French, who want the Germans to suspend construc- tion of the second wonder battleship and postpone the project for a customs union with Austria. This viewpoint, if one can judge by the opinions of such po- litically opposed English newspapers as the conservative London Times and the Labor Daily Herald, is shared by the British. Before the Hoov:r plan was accepted. British Charge D'Affaires B. C. ton and _American Ambassador Frederic M. Sackett visited Foreign | Minister Julius Curtius and asked| whether he would not postpone the cus- toms union project and battleship build- ing. The Germans refused to bind themselves politically. Today they cannot find shelter be- hind President Hoover unless British and American banks alone are prepared to satisfy the German credit demands. Dr. Luther will have to approach Paris in a humble frame of mind and, in the TFrench sense, “talk politics” which means giving political guaranties such as the PFrench require—or renouncing their desire for money.

PARIS, July 9 (#).—America has reached the end of her policy of politi- cal isolation, Henry Berenger, formor Ambassador to Washington, said today, and henceforth the United States ‘rust concern herself with the affairs of the vest of the world. * The most significant feature of the Hoover moratorium, he said, is the il- ustration it provides of the fact that 'diplomacy henceforth will be dominated by “intercontinentalism.” Commenting en last night's radio speech in Wash- ington by Acting Secretary of State Cestle, M. Berenger said: “The whole world is in peril the moment one nation is endangered. How- ever repugnant it may be to them, America and Europe no longer can evade the law which commands speed in all its forms. Would Widen Briand Plan. “For a dscade the United States has tried to imprison herself in the citadel of her own continent. In vain has she tried to obey President Washington's warning against foreign entanglements. Each year America is mixing more in the affairs of Europe.” He declared it would be stupid for Eyrope to think of existing alone, and asserted that if the European union projected by Aristide Briand is to suc- ceed it must be intercontinental in character. Prance will lose nothing in the forth- coming international conferences, in- cluding that with Germany, he said, adding that “she will be more in a position to direct intercontinental evolu- tion than to have it imposed upon her.” France had Germany's pledge today that the savings realized from the moratorium would not be utilized for | armaments. Text Handed to Laval Ambassador von Hoesch handed to | + Premier Laval the text of Chancellor | Bruening’s recent statement to the| United States to the effect that Ger- | many would use the benefits of the | holiday to reconstruct her economic life. | The premier jssued a communique | saying Germany had acted on_ her own | ; initiative in the matter and had “ex- | . pressed her happiness over the conclu- jon of the Franco-American -me-\[ ent.” Preparations for the visit of Secretary of State Stimson on July 15 are under way. Arrangements have been made for a luncheon at the foreign office, to be attended by members of the cabinet, and a dinner at the American embassy Armament is expected to be the chief topic of conversation between Mr. | Stimson and officialdom. ‘The cabinet will meet tomorrow to select the French delegates to the meet- ing of fiscal experts on the moratorium | in London on July 17. | The press attaches great importance to Mr. Stimson's presence in Europe, contending that it foreshadows a ‘wholesale revision ‘of armaments to; complete the work of the moratorium in stabilizing world economics.

Isolates Self for First Day of Vacation at Cap Ferrat. CAP FERRAT, France, July 9 (#).— On this first day of his European vaca- tion Secretary Andrew W. Mellon put cares of state out of his mind and went with his family to a small private beach near their villa. His son and daughter arranged with the local police to discourage visits by outsiders and even by friends for the first few days of his stay, and the route to their home is barred to all! unannounced visitors. ‘The prefect of police offered Mr. Mellon a special telephone and tele- graph line to Paris, but he declined, explaining that he intends to do no work while he is here. The Secretary will sail for home in two weeks, probably from Genoa or Monte Carlo. MAY NOT PAY ON JULY 15. A Germany Expected to Pass Part of Debt Due at This Time. State Department officials said today they were proceeding on the assumption that Germany would not pay its condi- tional reparations due July 15. The Franco-American accord, they pointed out, called for postponement of inter-governmental debts as from July 1, while the agreement contem- plated assent of the other European powers and arrangement of details, | they did not look for Germany to make | any payments except the unconditional annuities, provided under the plan. In announcing the accord, President Hoover Monday described the plan as morally in effect. Since the actual ar- rangement of details is expected to require some time, State Department officials said today it would of necessity have to be retroactive. LEAVES LONDON FOR PARIS, | Luther Has Hurried Conference in| Britain After Trip by Air. | LONDON, July 9 (#).—Hans Luther, head of the German Reichsbank, paid a flying visit to London today and, after a two-hour conference with the ambassador at the German embassy, | left for Paris. He left Berlin last night without an- nouncing his plans and crossed the Channel by airplane today. His itin- erary,- it is understood, will take him | to both Paris and Brussels before he goes to Basel next Monday for a meet- ing of the directors of the Bank for International Settlements. Officials Are Silent. His visit here brought no statement | from any of the officials concerned, but it was understood that Dr. Luther is visiting the financial centers in an effort to negotiate a long-term credit of between $250,000,000 anc 5 000 to shore up Germany's financial structure, weakened by heavy foreign withdrawals in the past two weeks. Only preliminary _discussions took place here. it was understood, but these Bank of England to join private bankers in the United States and the Bank of France in underwriting the loan to Germany.

MANILA, Philippine Islands, July 9., —Tod: newspapers, including Fili- | pino journals, all carry special articles on the second anniversary of the inauguration of Governor General Dwight F. Davis, emphasizing his tact- ful diploma: pronoun “we” in referring to his ad- ministration, which, La Vanguardia says, “includes the Filipino members in cabinet.” Governor General Davis said: “We are es hing a governmental policy and initiating a far-reaching program not superficially visible, but taking a firm root and better judged years hence.” Yesterday's Manila Herald published a letter from an unnamed United States Senator declaring that leaders | in the Middle Western and Western farm States were grooming Gov. Davis for the Republican presidential nom- ination. According to the letter, these leaders want Gov. Davis to resign his governorship and get into the Washing ton picture again. For his weekly conference with foreign correspondents, Gov. ~Davis tbday armed himself with & sheaf of typewritten statements. “I am not a candidate for the nomi-| nation of president in 1932 he said. “I believe strongly that the Republican party should re-nominate my chief,| President Hoover.” | Gov.

July 9.—Suggestions that Germany suspend naval construction now in progress and drop her projected customs accord with Austria to contrib- ute to world betterment were made "y two newspapers today. The Times and the Herald, of widely divergent political views, pointed out that while other nations had been called on to make great sacrifices Ger- many had not been asked to make ma- terial concessions in connection with the Hoover debt-suspension plan.

' | ‘The next step in debt post) will be the meeting of Eurcpean . dred- itors of Germany under the Ing plan, in which America has no fpart. This technieal step is merely to |settle detalls within and subject to the al- ready accepted Hoover plan.

The concrete effects of the plan begin with a long-time funda- mental political and social reshlt to Germany, and indirectly to the rwonld. original cause of Mr. Hoover's mc- tion was that Germany politically snd socially was on the way to go either Communist or Fascist, probably the flat- ter. The chief reason was that radical leaders were able to tell the Gemman people that the world regarded 'that country as a pariah and a criminay and that the policy of the other nationg was to keep Germany chained and helpless.

OF DEBT HOLIDAY Wants Plan Extended by Private Bankers to Latin Ameri_ca. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, July 9.—With a for- eign debt of $700,000,000 outstanding and a disheartening economic situation to deal with, Mexico has received news of the success of President Hoover's debt-suspension plan with the hope that the holiday will be extended by pri- vate bankers to Latin America. Press comment is divided as to the motive behind Mr. Hoover's plan, but the papers agree it will help the world to its feet, especially, La Prenss says, if its benefits can be extended to Mex- ico and other Latin American debtor countries. Now that the benefif of the plan has been extended to Europe, La Prensa says, Mexico should refuse outright to make payments on her (orelgn debt. “We will not pay our debt,” the paper declares; “we have a right to live.” ‘The Mexican government is supreme efforts to solve its finan difficulties.
