U. S. COMMISSION IS SOLVING EUROPE’S KNOTTY PROBLEM ? ' By MILTON BRONNER Copyright, 1924, by NEA Service, Inc. PARIS, Feb. 22. —Thanks to the Americans on the reparations commission the latest conference on the subject will be a thumping success or result in a tremendous bust-up, in which the Americans will tell the world the French don't really want a set-

tlement. Chances at prepent are all for success because the French are eager to settle and they also are more tolerant flue to the fact the franc is still despite all efforts to stabilize it. They realize now maybe the Germans didn’t want the mark to go to pieces either. In American work Gen. Charles G. Dawes has been the picturesque figure. but Owen Young has been the real power by reason of his keen business sense and driving force. Weary of Conferences The Americans have realized the Europeans had attended sixteen such conferences, were weary of them, had dis cursed the same subjects over and over, and ail had fixed opinions. Contrary to reports which have been published. I am able to state the present conference has so far not tackled the amount of reparations Germany should pay. the number of years In which to pay. a moratorium, nor any'of the old chestnuts. The American method" was to start afresh by seeking the subject on which It was possible for all to agree. Therefore, the first topic taken up was that of currency. AH agreed Germany Vprinie need was stable currency. Stable currency meant a gold basis. Stable currency also meant a stable ventral" hank of Issue. A stable honk mefent one controlled from outside of Germany, so It would be removed from German internecine political quarrels. Payments in Money It was also agreed Germany must balance Its budget. To do this it must revamp its entire taxation scheme and impose heavy taxes which would reach all classes. Such taxation \H)uld not I only provide for all governmental needs but it would leave a balance out ! of which payments to allies could be !

gin. Such payments would not be in kind but in money. To get the best value out of this, money would have to be spent in Germany by allies purchasing things which they moat needed and which would not come into competition products. For instance. France has a great scheme for installation of hydro-elec-tric power stations. France doesn't manufacture such stations, and Ger many could supply them A practical agreement has ’been reached on these topics by all inelud ing the Germans. Tt is not true the final report is being written and that the subjects of payments and moratorium are being invknded. f .-- * - The crucial period is coming in

time. The real controversial subjects will then come up. The Americans are prepared then to ask what the allies really want—destruction of Germany so it won’t ever be a military menace or a reconstitution of Germany so it can be economically sound and pay reparations. The allies can’t have it both ways. If they want payments then this will involve allowing Germany to be an economic whole. This means reopening of the Ruhr question and Rhineland. If the allies follow the American lead an agreement will be reached which will mean at last Germany will get to work and pay. If not, the Americans expect to tell why they failed.

Its members think the best way to get German capital back to Germany ig to produce stable business conditions in Germany which will induce capital to go back of Its own accord.
