TO PARTICIPATE
BERLIN, Drc. .14. .Hy tho Asso
ciated PreHH) America's prospective
participation in he reparations dis
cusHion received a Konornl -welcome
from' the German press which, while
st rosing1 its unofficial character,
nevertheless believes tho part to be
playeW by American experts Is des
tined, 'to have a decisive bearing on
the ultimate conclusioni to be reach
ed by' the international commissions.
Reichstag circles also are inclined
to talce a more hopeful view of tho re
sumption of the repartions negotia
tions which It is recalled, foundered
about a year ago when Dr. Cuno'a
proposals found deaf ears In Paris,
with the subsequent result that Anglo
French discussions were broken off i
and tho ttuhr invaded.
Political quarters likewise express
gratification at the American decision
on the ground that It was largely In
fluenced by the German government's
request that tho United States enter
the conference chamber thereby
proving that Germany Is determined
to invoke every efficient agency avail
able for tho economic reconstruction
of Europe.
