U. S. SNAPS BACK TO ITS ISOLATION POLICYINEUROPE Hughes Program Had No Chance of Success From Beginning. By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.—Like a rubber band stretched to Its limit then suddenly released, the United States has snapped back to its policy of isolation as the result of the collapse of the Hughes plan for settling the Franco-German reparations rumpus. It will require an engraved invitation officially extended on a silver platter to get Washington to take another such chance at participating in European affairs soon. Incidentally, intentionally or unintentionally, isolationists have been handed another round of ammunition. Yet what has actually happened was regarded as inevitable from the start by those acquainted with the situation In France. Plan Had No Chance The day the Hughes plan was announced, the writer telegraphed The Indianapolis Times the offer had not “the ghost of a chance unless Premier Poincare turns a double sommersault which no one who knows him expects him to do.” Time and again before Secretary Hughes repeated his proposal of a year ago, and several times since, Poincare talked himself hoarse repeating his formula of refusal to agree to reduce the amount of German reparations yet, in the face of ell this, Washington kept saying all was well and the French premier was only talking to make votes next spring. Washington Was Misled The truth is Washington was either 6adly misled by its European advices or was guilty of what Poincare was erroneously accused of doing in France. That is, playing to the grandstand with an eye on 1924. The gesture was indisputably good political tactics at that. Had it succeeded It would have been a feature in the administration's cap. Its failure would give the isolations a chance to answer criticism by saying the United States had offered to aid Europe and had been turned down. Bu United Press PARIS. Nov. 10.—Although France feels the keenest disappointment at America’s refusal to participate in a reparations conference under the reservations put forward by this government, there is little chance of Premier Poincare changing his attitude to make it easier for the United States to come in.
