"MR. MACDONALD'S'

STATEMENT

Europe Must Face the Hard Facts

[Taлovan TER'S AGENCY.]

LONDON, Jan. 10.

The Prime Minister, Me, Ramsay MacDonald, in the course of a statement on Dr. Bruening's Ro- parations declaration, "asid he was sure that it would be found that all the Governments concerned realis- ed that European recovery depend. ad upon facing the hard facts:

The policy and viewpoint of the British Government could only be announced at the proper place and time, but meanwhile, it might be said that in view of the economie conditions disclosed by the Report of the Experts who recently dis eussed the issues at the Beele bank.

conferetien, and in view of the internal political problems of Ger- many, it had been considered hot unlikely that more such declaration as Dr. Bructing'a would ha, made at the Lausanno Conference,

The fam that it had already been made, in advance of the Confer ence, rendered that Conference more necessary than ever.

The present situation, declared the Prime Minister, was the result of international agreements, and hav international conference was there. foro necessary to deal with it.

[BRITISH WIRELESS. SERVICE.];

RUGBY, Jan. 11." It is anticipated that the Cabinet meeting arranged for to-day to con- sider the statement the Premier will make at the concluding stage of the Burma Conference to-mor row, will also consider the repara- tions situation in the light of Dr. Bruening's statement,

Can Germany Recover? Commenting on Dr. Bruening's statoment the Times anYS: The supreme question which partści, pants at Lausanne will have to con- sider is whether there is any renl chance of recovery in Germany- and therefore averling danger of collapse in rest of the world--ns long as there is hanging over her the prospect of being called upon, in the near future, to resume these payments which drain her economic resources and strain her interna- tional financial exchanges.. The answer can be found only through thorougs and frank discussion of the whole situation. So much de. pends on the solution of the prob. lem-not only for Germany but for her creditors as well, and indeed for every country in the world, includ. ing those who seem to have no direct interest in it-that there is no room in its disenssions of any prejudice prepossession for national Byropathies and nnti pathies, or for political cohaidera- tions of any kind. Only things that mutter are economic realities.

What of the Future?

The Daily News thinks the state- ment clears the air and that Lau- banne Cin now settle down to realitics, but makes a point that "no

reasonable person, even in Germany, would be prepared to swear to the bounio impossibility of Germany's resuming some small payment of reparations in the dia- tant future if world trade revived.”
