AWAITS MOVE [100,000 City Employees Saved BY EUROPE; WON'T TAKE INITIATIVE ‘Will Not Call Economic Con- ference, as It Did Dis- armament Parley. HAS NO PLAN TO URG No Intention of Setting a Program That Might Com- mit This Country. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 (Copy- right).—When the Allied Premiers meet In Paris, on Jan. 2, they will In all probability invite the United States Government to help solve the econ- omic situation of Enrope. Poshibly an American diplomatic representative may be summoned to attend the meet- ing. But it is becoming more and more apparent that the initiative must come from European Governments as the United States does not want to be placed in the position of assuming esponsibility for the execution of its ®ugeestions, nor does it want to be forced into the position of having tried to dictate to Europe. This explains to some extent the vehemence of Secretary Hughes in denying the story that a commission of American business men were to act with the unofficial sanction the American Government tn trying to fix the amount of German indem- nity. Mr. Hughes was perturbed to- day, because some of the press re ports took his statement as the usual “diplomatic denial The plan to have a commission of American business men co-operate in fixing the sum that Germany can pay has many sponsors here, and business f prominence are trying to get this vernment and European Goy- ernments to nt to it, but the De- partment of State is not connected with the proposal, either officially or unofficially, any more than was with J. P, Morgan's visit to, Paris last June and the meetings @f the International Bankers’ Committee. It is an Interested onlooker, but not a promoter of these plans. The truth .s, the United States Government is feeling its way, Thus far it has not done any more than make plain informally to the Eure pean Governments that it stands ready to help them with Its influence and adv whenev it shall be sought. This in itself is a step for- ward, because Europe } en clam- oring for three years for American help and has pointed to the numb: of invitations which have gone un- accepted. What America wants Europe to un- derstand now ts that the United States will sit at the councils of Europe and discuss these matters. The thought of an Internationel Economie Con- ference still is in the minds of many Governments, but it may be suid ut this stage of the proceedings that the United States will not call it, 1 are certain obligations imposed on the host to lay down a program and to, set forth what can be done by the nation calling the conference An illustration of this was the Naval Armament Conference a year here (Continued on Second Page.)
