that thoUd had beon purchased from

told of one enso where a veteran had
died of tuberculosis and diabetes
within one and one-half months after
the medical officers of the bureau
had reported that tho tuberculosis
had been arrested, and tho patient s
rating had been reduced from total
permanent disability to n 26 per cent
disability. A review of tho case was
made. Dr. Smith said, and" in a final
finding approving the 25 per cent
rating was returned seven weeks after
tho veteran had Tlied.
Dr. Smith said also that a Dr. Bn.1
lard, who is employed In tho vsteran's
bureau and who made tho review in
question, himself has a disability
rating of 35 per cent on the basis of
an operation performed while In the

nally was 25 per cent, the witness said,
but was increased when ho appealed.
Senator Oddie, republican, Nevada,
asked how it was Dr. Ballard had
agreed with Dr. Rogers, medical di
rector of tho bureau in tho case of

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. Ambassa
dor Jusserand of France who has Just

rotary Hughes today"for a conference
which. promtos o'-BO lir Howard
clarifying In the minds of wasning-
ton between tho French position with
reBpect to restricting the scope of the
proposed Inquiry Into tho reparations
question.
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. Jusserand, thw'fiTrcnch. ambas
sador, to give Secretary Hugnes an
outline, of tile position of Franco as
ho received It from Premier roin
care, failed today t6 dovclop any In
dlcallon whether tho decision hero
would be for or against Amorlcan
participation ' In tho new Inquiry Into
Germany's capacity to pay.
M. Polncnre's position in favor of
only a restricted Investigation as re
iterated by him in public addresses in
Franco yesterday, still is : regarded
horo ns In conflict with the view taken
by the American government. It still
Is to be determined, howevor, whether
tho French restrictions will be Judged
so great a handicap as to impel Wash
ington officials to wash their hands
of tho entire proceedings and refuse
tho allied invitation for appointment
of an American export on tho investi
gating committee.
A full statement of the French posi
tion was brought to Washington today
by Ambassador Jusserand, Just back
from Paris, and It was Indicated that
after Ills talk with Secretary Hughes
during the afternoon, the American
government might be in a position to
dotormlno without much delay wheth
er participation In the expert Inquiry
would be regarded aB worth while
Tho government holds to this view,
meantime, that there should be the
fullest possible exploration by the ex
ports of the facta that underlie Ger
many's industrial productivity, re
gardless of any factor of time.
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). Great Britain's Insistence
upon conditions unacceptable to
France in connection with the pro
posed inquiry into Germany's capacity
to pay and the tendency of the British
press to raise point after point, paf
tlcularly disagreeable to France, hae
developed a feeling i:i French official
circles, as expressed there today that
there Is systematic effort going on to
isolate Franco.
