Wiixlilnnii'ii Doc. 16. President
Harding tmluy sought tbo counsel of
IiIh most trusted advisers at to tho
best moans of Intervention to pre
vent the approaching economic crush
- In Europe.
U la understood the president fool
rnroiiuigcd liy tlio fuvnrublo re-
action In European capitals la the
news of America's determination to
prevent a collapse.
In oililltion to frequent consult a
t j'ntu with liN riihlni't cable dlHcus
bIoiih with American ambassadors
abroad nr.d his forthcoming confer-
ence with Ambassador George Har-
vey lu preHldcnt will peek tlio ad-
Vlco of loading RonnlorH. Including
tlio Irroconcllubles In tlio treaty
fii:h ii nd of prominent leaders In
Amcrcati thought.
Not snce tlio drnmatc days that
developed tins great disarmament
conference hero has Washington
been so tended t an anticipated
move by tlio government. It Is be-
lieved that tho prepcnt contemplated
action may even surpass the ills-
' armament conference In world Im-
portance. The Impression continued to pre-
vail In official circles that another
international conference would ba
ci.lled but it was believed a final
decision would not bo reached until
aftir the consultations here with
Harvey about Jan. 1.
The coming move by the United
States will In effect call for a "show-
down" In Kurope; It will require an
answer from the European nations
concerned whether they are reidv
In a broad way to approach a solu-
tion of the world problem thac has
developed abroad consistent with In-
ternational peace and reconstruc
tion or whether thev prefer to con-
tinue on the rood that Is dragging
Kurope Into a pit of disaster
Three gVeat weapons that the
United States has to aid it in bring-
ing about a settlement of the Euro-
pean crisis were soon here tod.iy
l y observers:
1 The readincB ot Amsrlcnn
bankers to float a loan for Ger-
many up to any figure neces?.ry
cptimated from Jl.fiOO.POO.OOO pro-
vided an agreement Is reached on
reparations and Frmce abandons
such policies as those calling for
f;b:ure of the Ruhr valley.
2. More leniency in the collection
of the allied war debt of $11.000000.
(100 to this country Including re-
ductions In Interest rates provision
for reloaning to debtor nations and
a material extension of the present
period of 25 years for repayment of
the principal.
3. The moral influence of the
United States throughout the world
which President Harding has indi-
cated he believed 13 one of the
greatest factors in the situation.
However in any economic confer-
ence in Washington or whatever
move Is made by the United States
those three things will be offered
only on the provision that the Euro-
pean nations reciprocate.
Finally settlement of the German
reparations problem the root of the
trouble in Europe will be asked.
This country also wishes assur-
ances that France will not take
such drastic steps of coercion tbat
would again bring turmoil in' Eu-
rope and tend to prostrate Germany
permanently. .
France's fenr of Germany has
eeain broucrht into discussion here
the possibility of an agreement in
Europe modeled after the four-power
pacific treaty. Such a European
pact for nonaggression including
for Instance Great Britain France
Germany and Italy might give
France the necessary guarantees
against a future attack from Ger-
many. Keller Continues

WINNER IN VOTE
Poincare More Firmly Seated In
Saddle Than Before Detplte Ene-
mies' Attack When He It
Given Vote Confidence.
(By The United Prcwi.)
Paris Dec. 16. Despite attempts
of his political opponents In the
chamber of deputies to make the
breakdown of the premiers' confer-
ence at London an excuse to over-
throw him Premier Poincare was
more firmly in tlio saddle than ever
today strengthened by an over-
whelming .vote of confidence given
him by the chamber last night.
Tbo strength of tho "bloc na-
tlonale" which stuck to Poincare
when strong Interpellations by Depu-
ties Tardieu and Harriot threatened
his position accounted for the pre-
mier havins an overwhelming man-
date to continue reparations parleys
on his present platform "France
will act alone if necessary."
The vote of confidence was car-
rled 512 to 76.
Opposition to Polncare's policies Is
growing nevertheless. Many polit-
ical observers feol that reticence
of deputies to overthrow the prime
minister at such an important junc-
ture in international affairs was
largely responsible for bis victory.
(By The United Press.)
New York Dec. 16. Dr. Otto
Wiedfeldt German ambassador to

feldt saw the financier and planed

"If thl U trw" (ho Guardian
continues "it menus that the whole
moral weight of the most powerful
nation In tho world Is to be thrown
Into tho scales which nave been so

Tremendous curiosity has boon
aroused here and on the continent
as to tho form American aid for
i.uropo will take. It was stated here
that oven Ambassador Harvey was
entirely Ignorant as to what the
VUiito House Intended to do.
Tho enthusiastic reception alven
announcement of the step proposed
by President Harding by the British
press was echoed somewhat . less
warmly across tho channel. The
trench conservative press has re-
ports of determined American oppo-
sition to Franco's Ruhr occupation
pluns to offset tho news that the
United States may come to Europe's
assistance financially.
In London It' Is felt that France
can prevent American intervention
by adopting a recalcitrant attltudo
towards Germany. For that reason
the strong vote of confidence Won
by Poincare is considered signifi-
cant of diirger to the whole scheme.
British circles understand that
much depends upon the outcome of
the premiers' conference which Is to
bo resumed nt Paris next month.
Bonar Law's hand nt that meeting
will bo greatly strengthened by the
American move. It Is believed hore
where tho tendency to describe the
prospective Intervention as Indica-
tive of a "United Anglo-American
front with a vlow of obtaining re-
straint in treatment of Germany."
Tho intervention of the Unilted
States Is not expected suddenly
Conference between Ambassador
Harvey and President Harding will
tuke place at Washington and no
notes will bo dispatched to Euro-
pean governments according to the
view of British official circles.

Say Allies Notified.
(Ily The United Pram.)
Paris Dec. 16. The United States
government already has Informed
the allies it contemplates interven-
tion in European affairs but from
an economic standpoint only it was
stated authoritatively today.
The allies understand Washington
will maintain its previous attitude
toward political matters; also that
President Harding is not yet cer-
tain what form the proposed action
will take.
Already the move of America to-
wards assisting Europe has changed
the allies plans of action towards
Germany. It may result in a com-
plete about face on the part of those
in France who have advocated seiz-
ure of the Ruhr. Premier Polncare's
obvious vakueness on this point in
the chamber last nlgbit may be ac-
counted for by this. There Is no-
ticeabio cooling on the part of
French extremists who desire Inde-
pendent action.
The news from Washington re-
sulted In a sudden rise in the Franc
which opened fifty centimes higher
than yesterday's close.
