IS THE PLAN NULLIFIED?
AMERICAN SENATORS .ANNOYED,
{AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) NEW YORK, 28th October.
; The "New York World's" Washington correspondent says that' distinct congressional opposition, especially from j.rate irreconcilables, must be expected to Mr. Hughes's acceptance of the French reservations on the reparations settlement plan, by which the- committee of experts will become an adjunct of the Reparations Commission and the Treaty of Versailles. Irreconcilable Senators whom the correspondent interviewed declared that a bitter revival 6f the Treaty of Versailles fight will occur immediately' Congress is convened in December. Objectors- state that since France controls 4Be Reparations Commission,' no independent findings can be expected, and Mr. Hughes's original proposal is effectively nullified by the French action. High Government officials in the meantime insist upon the good faith of France, and state that the French reservations are not a nullification. They indicate that the committee of experts will only be concerned with German's capacity to pay, and once this is determined it will have a moral influence upon M. Poincare's dictum that the committee must not reduce the total of the reparations.
