Facts About Plan Paris, Jan. 16 Press)—An authoritative from American quarters Lere today makes it clear that “the American reparation plan" before the repara- tions commission was drawn up in an effort-to fit with the American gOvV- ernment's views on the reparations problem. The statement says the plan drawn here was mailed to Secretary of State Hughes for his "\lusnlt'r;h tion about November 20 last and @hat the secretary was believed to have had the plan before the end of November. Since Secretary Hughes made no changes or suggestions in regard to the statement resentatives of the state department here that it met with his approval. Certain minor changes were made in it ten days ago and Secretary Hughes was again notified, the statement de- clares. This message went by cable, it is stated and said that the sugges- tions made by Roland W. Boyden, un- official American observer with the commission had been placed on the commission’s agenda for formal dis- cussion next I'riday or early next week. Had the secretary of state not ap- proved the plan and had the plan not coincided with the state department’s ideas on reparations it was further assumed, adds the statement, that the secreary would have ordered the with- drawal of the plan before it actually came before the commission for dis- cussion. Considerable surprise was expressed that knowledge of the plan was dis- claimed in Washington and it was felt there must have been some mis- understanding Washington, Jan. 16 (Iiy the Asso- ciated Press)—Administration officials continued to'insist today that the Am- erican government considered itself entirely disassociated from the repar- ations plans which has been placed by the reparations commission by Roland W.
