L] " A4 TANGIBLE RESULTS | OBTAINED IN TALKS Path Is Cleared for Action on Reparations and War Debts.

After the German situation has been duly considered and a decision regard- ing the moratorium has been taken, the European countries which owe money to the United States will be in a posi- tion to submit their individual case to the Congress of the United States, which will decide what reductions of debts each nation is entitled to.

In any case the Prenéh do not consider a consultative lactory or sufficient to guarantee the security of their frontiers. Mr. Laval is leaving for Paris to- night, if not delighted, at least satisfied with the results of his visit to the United States, The concrete results of his visit may have been achieved by the ordinary fl.\zllmlue and banking chan- nels. The intangible results of his visit have been more than satisfactory. He Bas ¢reated, by his frank talk and power- ful personality, an excellent impression on all those who have come in contact with him. His clear understanding of our problems and his realization that Europe's political troubles, while affect- ing us, are not suffclent yet to induce the people of this country to take an active part in their solution will eventu- ally help a better understanding be- tween the two countries.

QGermany, because of her pres- ent financial situation, is not expected to be able to resumc her reparations payments at the' clos¢ of the Hoover | moratorium next June. It will be up | to Germany and the other European | ation without further delay. It 15 expected that the process of resurvey! intergovernmental war | debts will be start:d soon by Germany's exercising her right to apply for per- mission to institute & moratorfum on | her conditional reparations payments. | It does not appear that it is the plan worked but by the President and the | French prime minister to seek a further extension of the Hoover moratorium. Insists on Present Structure. The head of the French government continued to insist upon the retention | of the present structure set up under | the Young plan. It is believed that under the isions of this Young plan the Bank for International Settlements will organize a committee for the pur- of examining Germany's capacity paAy. If this examination deter- mines the modification of Germany's capacity to pay as originally fixed, the United States may be expected to set in motion machinery to determine the capacity to pay of the European natlons owing this country war debts. Secretary Stimson said today the con- versations had fulfilled alk his expec- tations. One thing the conferences here be- tween thé President of the United States and the French prime minister, and between the prime minister and Senator Borah, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, accomplished was to throw into the discard the old theory advanced in this country, but denied by Europe, that there is no connection be- tween the payment of German repara- tions and the payment of the war debts owed this country by France, Great Britain, Italy and other European na- During the conversations between the President and M. Laval, it was made clear that the United States intends to keep aloof from the political side of European problems. Adjustments of these E:bhm must be made in Burope with responsibility resting largely upon France as the strongest nation in Europe today. Emphasis was lald upon the necessity of the maintenance of the gold standard, both in the econversa- tions between the heads of the two | governments and in the official state- ment issued by them last night. Specifically, the communique - listed the subjects considered by Mr. Hoover and M. Laval as follows: The problems of the forthcoming con- | ference for limitation and the effect of the depression on payments under in- tergovernmental debts; the stabilization of international exchanges and other financial and economic subjects. “It has not been the purpose of either of us to engage in commitments binding our governments, but rather, each country to act more effectively in its own field,” the statement contihued. ‘The accord reached by the President | » revision of the “Polish corridor.” | ernments in inti and Premier Laval during their con- versations at the White House deals al- with the ique, except, announced determination of the two men to seek to make the international conference on disarmament & success. Indeed, President Hoover caused the is- suance of a separate White House state- ment yesterday denying that he breached to the French prime mln\ne; number of newspaper dispatches have declared within the last two days that Mr. Hoover had definitely proposed a revision of the Polish corridor. The White House statement sald in this connection: “A press statement that the President | has proposed any revision of the Polish corridor_is sbeolutely without founda- tion. The President has made no sug- gestion of any such character.” With regard to the disarmament con- ference, the statement issued by the President and M. Laval sald: “It is our purpose that the conference | for limitation of armaments will not fail to tage advantsge of the great op- | portunity which presents itself and that it will be capable of meeting what is in reality its true mission—that is, the organizaticn on s firm foundation of | permanent peace.” Useful Purpose Seen. While the conferencé here between President Hoover and the French prime minister have brought forth no definite programs of action on the part of the two countries, it is belleved that they have served a useful purpose in bring- ing together the heads of the two gov- contact, with op- portunity for free exchanges of views of problems of world importance as well of importance to America and France. Despite advanced talk of the possible adjustment of international political problems as between the two govern- ments, &s & result cf the visit of the French premier to Washington, it has been realized in informed quarters that there was little opportunity for such adjustment because of the wide differ- ence of public opinion in France and in the United States regarding, for ex- ample, a revision of the Versailles treaty and the negotiation of & “security” or “consultative” pact between the United s;:tels‘ ln;ih?tlm:e. . Laval had another busy day, prepar- atory to his departure last night for New York, whence he is to sail tonight for France. He again visited the White House to go over with Mr. Hoover the final draft of their joint statement. ‘This statement, however, was under re- vision for a greater part of the day and it was not until nearly 5§ p.m. that it was made public. A luncheon at the home of the Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Lamont; a reception at the Na- tional Press Club and a dinner at the French embassy filled up his spare moments, Before M. Laval left Washington he repeated in speech and interview- and in a brief greeting over the radio a renewal of France's enduring friendship for America. His departure from Wash- ington was accompanied with a minie mum of ceremony. His train left the Union Station for New York at 1:30 am. In contrast with the elaborate wel- come which greeted the French prime minister on his arrival in Washington Friday, only Undersecretary of ‘State Castle, representing the United States, and Ambassador Claudel of FPrance were at the Union Station when the Laval train left.
