D oe THE DAY- [% IT Is NEWS| 5° TWELVE PAGES - voL. Dispatches Saying Boyden Has New Proposals in Paris | # Annoy Officials OF GOVT. IS HERE\ | Possible Results of French Oc- cupation Cause Grave Con- cern to Washington WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. -Porsistent reports from Paris that the American goverqment has approached the pow- erg with a new plan for settling the reparations controversy led to the positive anouncement from the state department today that: \The United States government has not submitted any_new plan' to 'the reparations commission, nor does it iniend doing so.\ © High officials of the administration . expréssed complete mystification and not 'a little irritation 'over the press dispatches that reported Col. R. W. Boyden, laying a \new plan\ before the commission. ~ While expressing complete confi- dence in Col. Boyden's ability and fitness to represent the United States' on the reparations commission, it was nevertheless apparent today that the state department is profoundly dis- turbed over cabled reports of Col. i oyden's reported plan: \The seat of the government of the United States is in Washington, not in Paris, and plans of the government are made in Washington, not in Par- is. It was anounced at the White House this afternoon that Col. Boyden has no plan of any kind which \has the sanc- tion of the United States govern- ment.\ The opinion was expressed by the White House that anything Col. - Boyden may have presented to the commission represented his personal views and not the government's, us was the case 'with his speech before to ihe reparations commission a week \ W ago. * It also was announced the state de- partment has cabled. Col,. Boyden for a complete report on the incident and is making every effort to clear up the apparent misunderstanding that ex- ists between the department and its unofficial observer on the reparations commission. Until Boyden's report is reteived, officials declined to comment other than to reiterate that the Amer- ican governmeni \has no new plans\ and is contemplating none in the pros- ent situation. . High administration officials viewed with increasing gravity today develop ments in the occupied area, particularly © the initial clash between Germans and | French Awhich resulted in German deaths. « One of President Harding's chief advsers on foreign\affairs said: \The whole of Europe is sitting on a powder keg, The match may be ap- plied at any time. \Apparently the only way the world can progress is for nations to try just such foolish stunts as France is now engaged in and fail in them. After the failure it may then be possible to do mmething.\ The view was also expressed here today in cabinet circles that France may soon have a problem of feeding starving peoples on ler hands. The German peoples in the occupied areas are placed in an impossible sit- uation by the French move; it was pointed out. France has ordered ming work continued under threats of pun- ishment. The German government has, ordered no deliveries of coal to the Fnenfih. The workers are confronted with tho problem of deciding which master to obéy. The opinion prevails in official cideles here that the work- ers will obey Berlin, and that ulti- mately this is going to devolve upon ips FWronch government responsibility, ¥r feeding idle workers in the Ruhr dr putting down widespread riots.
