II. _ " __ M. _ U.S. Spurns French Bid toDropDebt President Rules Reparations v Question Fails to Affect Claims Against Al lied Powers. Is Firm in His Position By Universal Service. "Washington, Nov, 3.—The State de partment today flatly rejected the suggestion from Paris that France ■would approve a full Inquiry into Germany’s capacity to pay if the United States would accept simul taneous consideration of Interna tional debts. ^0 The American government, It was explained officially, had ruled out International Indebtedness because the question of debts had nothing to do wtlh the question of reparations. Germany's capacity to pay, it was stated with emphatic finality, is in no way affected by what other gov ernments may owe the United States. The American situation remains unchanged since Secretary Hughes Informed the French charge d'affaires that the United States wished to do something worth while If It were to do anything. France has two alternatives. Isola tion on- acceptance of the Hughes plan for a full Inquiry Into Germany's “ultimate” capacity to pay. The United States, Great Britain and Italy stand together In favor of a thorough investigation Into Ger many’s ability to pay reparations. President Coolidge and Mr. Hughes can see no harm In & full Inquiry so long as each nation concerned re serves the right to accept or reject the findings made by the commission of financial experts. Publl# sentiment throughout the country has compelled both the White House and the 8tate depart ment to take a firm stand. Within the 24 hours Immediately following the publication of the Hughes-Curxon correspondence the protests reaching Washington exceeded In volume even those received after the world court proposal became public. The attitude o the administration changed accordingly. After being will ing to accept the restrictions immedl vsBtely Imposed by Premier Poincare, Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Hughes sud denly took the stand that the French limitations must not be allowed to render the proposed Inquiry abortive.
