in future not far distant the national
and local debt of Nicaragua will be COM
pletely eliminated there is no reason why
there should not speedily be established
very gratifying commercial relations be-
tween this ciuntrv and Nicerae1a The
impression among bankers of this city
is that the federal Senate is likely some
time In the approaching winter to ratify
treaties with Nicaragua by the terms of
which we shall secure a naval station on
the gulf of Fonseca, shall possess for
ever the right to build a Nicaraguan
canal If We ever want to do that in re-
turn for which the United States will
pay Nicaragua $3,0O0,OOO If that treaty
be ratified then as soon as payment is
made by the United States Nicaragua
will be in splendid condition to develop
her great resources.
Expert Assistance
1t may be that there was some Know
ledge in Washington of the success of
the undertaking begun some time ago by
American bankers, Brown Brothers and
the Seligmans and made possible by the
expert work of C. M. Conant whereby
the Senate committee on banking and
currency was persuaded to call upon Mr..
Conant for assistance in drafting certain
contemplated amendments to the banking
and currency law.
Mr.. Conant is singularly qualified for
this work for several reasons. He is not
a banker in the sense that he has any
executive relations with any bank. He,
therefore. cannot be assumed to have any
selfish interest in the banking and cur
rency bill. But he has been wonderfully
successful as an expert. The work which
he did In the Philippines whereby order
was put of chaos and a successful cur
rency system was established compares
favorably with any great national finan-
cling. So also his services at the time
Mexico decided to establish her financing
upon the gold basis were authoritative
and have proved satisfactory. His know
ledge of banking. both in this country
and in Europe, and of the history of the
beginning and development of banking as
well as his mastery of some of the most
difficult details of banking are probably
the qualifications which have persuaded
the Senate committee on banking and
currency to seek his expert aid in formu-
1ating amendments to the pending bill.
