GERMANS ASK REPARATIONS WITHDRAWAL
Allied Debtor Is Unable To Meet demands Of Young Plan.
BASLE, Switzerland, L)ec. 7.— (I'P)—The German nation tonight officially declared her inability to continue repnratton* payments un der the Owen I). Young ‘plan, according to members of the Young plau athlsory committee.
The group organized today tin der »he chairmanship of Alfredo Beneduce of Italy, to investigate tiie German economic condition when Dr. Waller W. Stewart, the American member of the committee. w as offered the chairmanship, but declined. His refusal was interpreted as an Indication that the United Stales intends to take an actlvo part in the negotiations and desires lliat Stewart be free to support the American views.
BANKERS INTERESTED A* chairman of the committee, which will investigate the capacity of Germany to pay reparations, Stewart would be handicapped in the general debate because- of the responsibilities of thn post.
The United States does uot receive reparations payments direct from Germany, although payment.! on war debts owned by the former allied nations actually depend oil German reparations. Tho chief American Interest, however, lies in tho vast aums Invested iu Germany by private bankers, including some $1,200,000,000 now frozen in short-term loans. Germany's prlnelpln private creditors are Great Britain and America.
NEW DELEGATES Officially the committee will merely Investigate the reparations angel, but lt will undoubtedly be necessary to consider the private debts as directly supplementary to tiie reparations question.
After tho advisory committee was organized, the four new delegates were named, bringing the total up to 11. The four are Dr. R G. Btindschedla of Switzerland, vice-president and general manager of the credit sulsse; Dr. G. Duritcb of Jugoslavia; M, Ryd-beck of Sweden; and Hendrik Colljn of Holland.
