LETTERS REFLECT HOPEFUL FEELINGS U. §., France and Germany Op- timistic on Reparations Washington, Dec, 13. — 1In the in- terim while the appointment of Ameri- cans on the two expert committees of the reparation commission, which will fnquire into Germany's financial sit- uation, was being awaited here, the state department made public today correspondence exchanged hetween Louis Barthou, French delegate on the reparation commission, and Col. James A. Logan, American observer with the commission, as well as a communication from the German am- bassador. The correspondence had to do with the committees of experts to be es- tablished by the commission and pre- pared the way for American action under the plan. Steps looking to the appointment of Americans on the committees are looked for in Paris, as the Washington government, if it has knowledge of any selections, has not revealed it. The state department made public the correspondence as follows: “Paris, December §, 1923, Iy Dear Mr. Logan: “I have just had a conversation with our colleague, Monsieur de la Croix, upon the observations which you have exchanged. In order to give you more definite information and to clear up points which might leave doubts in your mind, we desire to furnish you with more precise de- tails. Work of Experts “The first committee of experts will endeavor to find: (a), the means of balancing the budget; (b), the meas- ures to be taken to stabilize the cur- rency. Concerning the stabilization of the currency the expcrts would be in- vited first of all to determine the con- ditions to be realized in order that a currency could be stdbilized and then the measures to be progressively taken .o as to realize all of these | conditions. “As the stabilization of the cur- rency necessitates budget equilibrium the expert would similarly be invited to study in detail the receipts and the cxpenditures of the reich as well as of the different states. “The reparations commission would ask the experts to give it in all sin- cerity their professional opinion on the questions submitted to them. “Monsieur de la Croix and I hope that it may lead your government to acquiesce in the aceeptance of invita- tions by American experts to partiel- pate in the labors of the. committecs. Furthermore, if you accept this sug- gestion T am quite prepared to sub. mit it to the reparation commission, “Accept, ete.
