Copyright. 1922. by the Chicago Tribune.) PARIS, Aug. 29. The allies are preparing for another effort to make the United States hold the bag for Europe. The new scheme provides for an American - commit tee to act as - financial controller of Germany, restoring to the reich. currency credits for a new budget and then negotiating a new repara tions bill with the allies. i .Sir John Bradbury, the British reparations commissioner, this after noon outlined the plan as the sole possible solution, for an impasse will be reached if the mark con tinues its precipitate plunge toward destruction and chaos.

Acceptance of membership in the committee by American financiers will result ia the United States representatives even though unof ficial and unsanctioned by Wash ington eventually being placed in the position of pleading Germany's case, and arguing in the reich's be half for a downward - revision of reparations, thereby incurring the ill will of all the allies as well as Germany, like the person interfer ing in a fight between husband and wife. Sir John Bradbury believes a mor atorium for Germany is necessary to prevent complete disaster like that of Austria, and to check the depreciation of the mark.
