EUROPE MUST UNITE I
SELF BEFORE THE U. S.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 6. {&) ■
—Europe’s willingness to solve her;
own troubles without further tem-1
porizing and delay seems likely,
now to become the yardstick that
will measure future American prof
fers to help.
There is no expectation in in
formed circles that the United
States will take part in the pro
posed reparation conference or in
any general conference on war
debts.
The feeling seems to be that until
the European nations forget their
antagonists and jealousies and
unite on a program which will re
store confidence among themselves
there is nothing for the United
*>, States to confer about.
In, on the other hand, these na
tions put their houses in order in
a permanent fashion coinciding to
the American people, the possibil
ities of further war debt readjust
ments may be expected to brighten.
