American Loan to Germany at Present Held "Idle" Talk. BCnifflHlEffilffifflEEEfl Washington, D. C. Adjustment of tho reparations dispute between Lon don and Paris is the crux of tho Euro pean tangle, in the American view point, as stated hero on competent authority. Talk of any American loan to Germany was described as "ldlo" until such an adjustment had been made. It also was made clear that tho ques tion of allied war debts to tho United States was not viewed in Washington as involved In tho Anglo-French dif ferences as to the amount Germany can pay. Beyond this official spokes men refused to go in outlining what tho Washington government had In mind. There was no hint as to the purposes or progress of informal dls otiBslons with allied leaders, 7hich have been indicated both here and abroad to be under way. With the field of operation thus nar rowed, howovor, It was evident in of ficial talk that administration hopes that American influence can aid in the European situation were quite gen erally believed to bo based on possi bilities that may result In bringing British and French thought into har mony as to Germany's present eco nomic plight and capacity to pay. In this connection it is known that in some diplomatic quarters one Im pression prevails that American par ticipation In seme form when tho council of premiere resumes Its ses sions in Paris January a is te be expected. 0.

We have adequate evidence for this viewpoint In telegrams from large bodies of our population." Lord Curzon, In his note to Ismet Pasha on tho Mosul question, declared that aside from the fact Mosul reoelved a mandate from tho leaguo of nations and therefore only tho latter has a right to restore it, there are racial, political, hlstorica) and strategic rea sons why England cannot give back Mosul to tbe Turks.
