Coming direct from tho Fronch capital Ambassador Jusserand waB behoved to he In a position to Inter pret more definitely tho intont and purpose of tho restrictions which un official reports have seemed to place on tho committee's investigation. Tho statements made by American Ambassador Hcrrick In a speech yes. tcrday In tho Champaigne district havo served to add considerable spice to the general mixture of toolings with which those outsido tho Inner circle of state department officials hero are observing " developments. Many members of -congress, finding tho ambassador's assurances or am spread across tho front page of their morning newspapers, . speculated in conversations with tho(lr colleagues as to how tho romarka. Bhould bo as sessed in view of all tho circum stances. ' Even' the return to Washington of J. J.

Information reaching the slate de partment Indicates mat uermany is not making any reparations payments of a substantial nature and that such payments are not to be expected In tho near future without stabilization of conditions In Germany. On the con trary, the United States la almost fac ing the time when It may bo called uin to make available largo sums of money to feed German nationals who might otherwise die of famine due to the) confused oconomic situation In Germany. In the circumstances the . United States government is more than ever convinced that 'the ' .time has come when a plan to make possible tho rep arations paymonta should be devised and that such a plan to. have any prac tical value 'must rest upon a study of every phase of Germany's economic condition. Washington officials do not regard the creation of a commlBsslon to pro pose sach a- plan as In any way Jeop ardizing the treaty of rights so Jeal ously guarded by France. PARIS, Nov. S. (By Associated Press).
