Cox, who recently served, as Vice Chairman of the American delegation to the World jtlcWoiriic 'Conf erericb, shed t new 'ray of light' on that chap ter Iri an interview not long ago. '"' '" ' .To Milton Bronner, London correspondent for .the News paper Enterprise Association, Mr. Cox revealed that a work able 'and final settlement of the German reparations ques tion was actually within sight in 1922. ' if it had been at Itained.'he said; the 'world' probably Would have been spared its present economic, industrial and financial chaos and some 80,000,000 people would have been saved, from uiiempjov Inetit, hunger and want. ; It failed of attainment, Mr. Cox feaid; because the' Statesmen of France, England, Germany ohd Ameica failed to seize the opportunity that offered it-, pelf fo,,lhem.V- 7" ' " '' " ' "" ;: ( ' ,; -In 1922, said Mr. Cox, he went to Europe to study the sit uation. He knew Gerirtany could not pay the fantastic re-1 partitions theli demanded of her' without ruining herself and . the' nations' id wh6rii the payments' were due. So he set out io'fin'fjl just' what 'Germany 'really could pay. In Paris 'he . jtalked with a spokesman for Poi'ncare, then premier, and got from him, -in' confidence, a figure which the spokesman said was the minimum French statesmen and financiers thought Germany could pay. ! ' r IThen )ie' went to Germany and talked with Chancellor Worth, who gave his figure as to the maximum Germany coud pay. Between this and thb French figure there was only a gap of four billion marks a gap which, as Mr. Cox said, could easily be' bridged by negotiation. Then Mr. Cox vent to England and got Lloyd Goorce's ficure which.? in its tuni, was hot far fr bin the Jjuu none oi mo statesmen aareci move, ine Hatreds anq suspicions of the war had not yet cooled. In each capital Mr. Cox was assured that only ' if Ameribit took' the initiative coiild'an "agreement" be miched. Mr. Cox returned to America and issued a statement urging President Harding to act. President Harding' ignored him. Tho great oppor tunity passed. ' 11 " i In London this spring Mr. .Cox was told by Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, a lender of the German delegation: '' ' '"If President Harding had acted in 1922, we would not be here today. There would have' been iio occasion forW economic conference, because tho world would have been well ! on its way to complete recovery."
