WOiJT BE REVISED
i NEW TORK, Aug.f 15 (AP)
The New York Evening Post
today attributed to-"the highest
authorities available' among in
ternational lawyers, and bankers
the view that the final agreement
reached this week on the Hoover
moratorium indicates an end of
war debts on the basis formerly
existing." r
No encouragement was found
from the Post's sources for the
belief that Germany - would re
sume her schedule of payments
at the end of the holiday. ! The
-opinion was advanced that the
least the world may expect is
that Germany will " ask two or
three years' extension beyond the
closing date of the. moratorium.
What was described as of
greater probability Is that the
reparations question wo-Jld be at
tacked from an entirely new an
gle. Having inextricably eon?
nected these debts with the war
debts of the allied nations. Ger
many might: ask for. a revision of
the'Versallles treaty. . ; .
; Should she be able to remove
the so-called "war. guilt" from
her ' shoulders, the theory pro
ceeded, she would at the' same
time have , destroyed all legal
grounds byt which she Is com
pelled to pay reparations to the
nations vktbrious W. the war.
