The "Daily Telegraph's"—diplomatic correspondent says it is (hat the government people of the United States hold the key to the situation.

Berlin, June 10.
Official German assurance that Germany will avoid becoming entangled in any European coalition Agasst the United States on. the Question of war debts was giv ere today" as Dr. " Heinrich Bruening, the Chancellor, atd Dr. Sulius Curtius, the Foreign MMinister, returned from their" history-making conversations la Chequers.
Chancellor Bruening and Minister Curtius travelled to Berlin from Bremerhaven with Mr. Frederic M. Sackett, the United States Ambassador to Germany.
'Upon the return of the distin~ ished trio the United Press foamed: that rather than engage ina European coalition against "United States on the © war debts problem Germany' will seek the aid'of America. She will seek the help of, the United States her efforts to overcome the financial and economic crisis which she is facing.
From an authoritative source, it] was learned that the Government of Germany intends to fany moratorium on debt payments under the Young Plan until after the visit to Berlin of Colonel Henry L-Suimson, the American Secretary of State. "Secretary Stimson is to Visit Berlin on July 21, He wil remain until July 28.

After the consultations between envoys of the Washington, London fand Berlin Governments it is anticipated that there will be Franco-German and Ttalo-German meet ings.
Moreover, it is likely that a Ger man diploniatic representative omtered. to discuss war debts and parations payments will contact th Mr. Andrew W. Mellon, the American Secretary of the Trea sury, during his forthcoming European visit.

Unfortunately for the government this decision cannot be regarded as a victory for the exponents of the Cabinet's measure as the impression general-prevails that the beginning of the struggle around the emergency' decree and the position of the Cabinet in general has been delayed only in order to give the various Parliamentary groups time to make their mind as to the course of action to be taken by them.
