One Cabinet OflUarr Says Europe Now Has Constructive Plan For Work. Washington, April Wash ington basing its impressions on still in j complete information regarding the re ports of the two expert reparations , in Paris, was inclined to day t<» be optimistic regarding the re ception which the report* will hi* ac corded In the power*, j The was privately expressed by cne cabinet officer that Europe finally had been given a constructive plan on which might agree and work out a peaceful adjustment of its most dif ficult problem—that of producing re parations from Germany. State department spokesmen em phasized again that the plans of the j expert committees were not a govern mental arrangemeni and reiterated* their inability to express any govern mental approval of the 'committees' work. Ileyond saying it was earnest’y hoped that the reports would lead to a solution of the reparations tangle, no j comment of any kind was available at the department. Hoover’s Formal Statement. The only formal statement was is : sued by Secretary Hoover. He pointed out some of the advantages to Ameri can trade nd farm production which j would follow if the plans led to a sott’e nienr of European economic problems. In addition to tlios*. advantages, it wav pointed out in other quarters that a solu tion would aid this country by making ,it easier for ’he allied governments i<* repay the wartime loans made them by the United State*. j “The greate*t single barrier to the economic recuperation of -the world has been the unset tlement of German re parations” Mr. Hooover’s statement j said, “with the malign forces that have flowed from it in unemployment, con tinued great armament, disturbance to world finance, instability of the ex change—all in a multitude of directions. If the commission now scares is just and practical settlement. the whole world will benefit. j sumption cf foodstuffs that will follow decreased unemployment will benefit the American farmer. Everybody gains in a stable and peaceful world—nobody losses.” Those parts of the committee re ports which had reached government quarters here tonight and which had been tentatively examined appeared to contain nothing in conflict with the Benefiicisl to America. “Restoration of courage, enterprise and confidence in Europe, increase in j industrial production, decrease in un employment. will in the end all react beneficially to our own people. Tin* con declared policies of the Washington ad ministration oil the questions with which they dealt. The decision of the first -committee not be relieve OeVmtfTrr of her obligations to make just repara tion payments and to protect just claims of the allies against Germany was interpreted as being in keeping • with the desires of this government. At the same time, it was pointed out. I the attitude of the Washington govern -1 nient with respect to the treatment of * Germany by the allies, the collection of 1 reparations from her without causing 1 prostration or threatening disaster to ! the national life, also had been follow led out by llie committees, to an ex it ent that made their views and those jof government officials here largely eoin cide- " i If has been repeatedly asserted by 1 Secretary Hughes that productivity ' must be the fundamental basis of any 1 plan for Germany’s discharge of her i obligations, either of reparations or 1 other just war c'aims. From what could be seen of the plan set up to aid Germany to produce and to maintain industry and national life during the time reparations were being paid, some officials here believe that world opinion will support the findings of the experts in that regard.
