(By the Asso dated Press. Solution of tne European economic problems, inso far as thev depend for their solu tion unon an international loan to Germany, in which the American investor would take, part, is not possible without a general settle ment, declared J. Pierpont Morgan, New York banker, in a statement Mr. Morgan, the American repre sentative on the international com mittee of bankers, who have been advising with the allied reparation commission concerning me possi bility of an International loan to Germany, said that in his opinion the two fundamental conditions of American participation In such an enterprise were unanimity among the leaders and the establishment of the credit of the borrower. The reparation commission, by voting 3 to 1 that the committee of bankers should discuss an ques tions which might have a bearing unon the general re-establishment of German credit. Mr. Morgan saia. had shown that the first condition, namely, unanimity, had not been met. - Fench Statementa Cited. Official French government state menta made while the bankers were deliberating to the effect that they were attempting to decrease tne Germaa debt, he declared, and that this could not be tolerated by tne French government, had served to convince the '.ankers that the sec ond condition the establishment of Germany's credit, could hot be met He declared, however, that the committee had never thought tnat it had any power to pass upon eums owing by the German government, hut merely that it had been re quested to advise the reparations commission as to a oasis upuu which Germany could raise a loan. Ho aaiii there had been no aiscus- slon of the capital amounts oi reparations payments, but only or a possible arrangement for annual payments, and these, either in cash or in kind, were the only methods whereby Germany could enect pay ment of her just deDts. Text la ftuoted The text of Mr. Morgan's state mATit. follows: "When I waa invited by the rep arations commission to serve on the ..nkB s.r.mmittee- I had some hesi tation in accepting, as it appeared that under the terms of the refer ence I could accomplish little more by coming to Paris than by cable advice from New York. Upon further consideration, however, I felt that the matter was of such enormous imnnrtance to Europe and also to the United States because of their commercial relatione wltn Europe, that I could not well refuse. "Therfifnre. In the hope that some thing constructive could be arrived at, I came, purely as a private citi xen, holding no authority from my government, to discuss in any way, matters under their control, but as a banker engaged in the aistriDU tion of securities in the investment markets of the United States and only representing those markets insofar as their condition might permit. America Is Disinterested. "I explained "at the first meeting of the committee that there is no interest In the United States in a loan to Germanp, per se. There is, however, in my opinion, a growing appreciation in the United States of the fact that its own prosperity is to a degree dependent upon the prosperity of the allied nations, and that the prosperity of .the latter is, In a large degree, dependent upon the rehabilitation of German credit. "I consequently believed that the American banker and investor could be interested to a substantial de gree in the purchase of German ob ligations if two fundamental condi tions were satisfactorily established. "First, such a loan should be at the request and would be for the benefit of the allied nations. This could in no way be better expressed than .by the active co-operation of the private bankers of the allied countries in the distribution of the German securities to their nationals. Grrmon Co-operation Needed. "Second, through the technical se curity to be given by Germany and the rehabilitation of its internal fi nancial situation. Germany should clearly ehow a desire to meet its obligations in the hope that by ful fillment of these obligations it could re-establish its credit as one of the commercial nations of the world. v "Shortly stated, therefore, the two fundamental conditions of American participation were, in my opinion, unanimity among the leaders and the establishment of the credit of the borrower. . "Early in the discussion .of the committee it became apparent that there was a difference between the English and French texts of the ref erence from the reparations com mission to the bankers' comrnittee. This difference touched the very root of the matter, in that the French reading definitely prohib ited the committee from giving con sideration to the schedule of pay ments as now determined, thus pre venting any practical recommenda tions as to the basis upon which a loan to a potentially solvent Ger many could be devised. English Text Different. "The English text, on the other hand, was susceptible of a broader interpretation. The committee, how ever, impressed with the impor tance of, the subject under consid eration, rather than report imme diately that no loan was possible under the terms of the reference, asked the reparations commission to define exactly the terms of refer ence. An answer received, which was supported only by three of the four members of the reparations commission,. the French member dis senting, to the effect that the com mittee should discuss all questions which might have a bearing upon the general re-establishment of Germany's external credit. "In the meantime, official state ments had been made in Paris to the effect that the banker's committee was attempting to decrease the amount of the German obligation to the reparations t commission, and that this could not be tolerated by the French government. The com mittee had never thought, and In this I agreed completely, that it had J any power to pass upon the sums owing by the German government,' but merely that it had been re quested to advise the reparations commission as to a basis upon which Germany could raise a loan. "There had been no discussion -of the capital amounts of reparations but only of a possible arrangement of the annual .payments. These an nual payments, either in, cash or in kind, are the only method whereby Germany can effect payment of its lust debts. I do not need to enlarge upon this, as it is fully stated in the pub lished report of tne committee to the commission. In view of the foregoing I am forced to the reluctant conclusion that neither of the conditions stated above, which I believe to be essen tial to a loan to Germany, could be complied with, and that no loan to Germany of tie character necessary in tne situation could be offered to and purchased by the American in vestor. As it was to advise on this point alone that I was invited to serve on the committee by the rep arations commission, it was neces sary for me to expiate this fact to the committee, as I am not compe tent ana am tnerefore unwillme to advise on matters which pertain solely to the European governments. General Settlement Hade. "I am now and shall continue to be ready to do everything in my power to assist in the eolution of the pro-blema which confront the economic life of Europe, but I be lieve that insofar as euch prob lems depend for their solution upon an international loan to Germany, in which theAmerican investor would take part, the solution i not pos sible without a general settlement of the reparations question, and only as a part of such settlement Undoubtedly a settlement of this question involves the consideration and arrangement of macy other questions which must be settled be tween the governments in order to arrive at the unanimity required for the first condition of a loan; I ' shall, of course, aa I have stated to the reparations commis- sloh, be ready at any time to re turn and do anything in my power when conditions permit and the conditions permit and the commis sion may so desire."
