BY CHARLES P. STEWART

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-The ad-
ministration credits Germany with
good faith in its. representations re-
garding her policy of summarizing par
ucularly as to the Arabic.
1t is learned from an authoritative
source through a confidential state
ment that it is believed the danger is

Nothing is in writing as yet. Dip
lomats say that the farther America
gets from trouble with Germany the
nearer friction with England becomes.
No one believes the impending Anglo
American controversy will result in
severing relations but it will undoub-
tedly be difficult to settle.
1t is stated America is under an
implied obligation to Germany to
adopt firm tone toward England.
Many think the administration will
yet be compelled to declare an EN-.
barge on arms.

CITY Notes DR.. Helfferich'S
CRY That Germany Faces
Colossal Taxation.
PLAN FOR AMERICANS
TROUBLES EXCHANGE
Ministers Much Criticised, but
No Tolerable Alternative
Yet Proposed.
By FRANCIS ". HRsT.
Editor of The Economist, London



London. Dec. 21.-The City Is
about to adjourn for the Christmas
and New Year holidays, with the
feeling that. although peace must be
nearer. the restoration of good VIII
among the nations is further from
the earth than ever. Clearly the
flames of war famed by religion VIII
be damped down and distinguished
eventually by the dismal but woful
silence Of political economy.
Newspapers arc still found that
declare the net cost OF the war Will
be small, but mounting debts tell
their own tale.
On a modest computation, assuming
the war to end by March 81 next,
Germany's war charge for debt IN
annual interest will be &lOO,OOO,OOO,
against a French deficit Of $780,
OOO. 900 and a British debt of &IO.-
600 900. Fortunately. in our case
this deficit is already covered by
new taxation.
The revenue of all continental
belligerents, except perhaps italy
will be much less than before the
war. The Socialistic idea is that
new interest will be found by taxing
the rich and that interest coupons
will practically be paid by an in
come tax on those who receive them.
The "yorwarts" has begun to agl-
tate these questions, and DR.. Helt-
ferich has TO confess colossal new
taxation will be necessary. Ger
many's junkers ask for increased
protection for agriculture after the
war to meet the starvation Of Ger
man policy and to increase the value
of their estates.
The "Vorwarts" asks that all pro
lection duties on foods be abolished
so that German industry may have
/ lowered costs for competing with its
rivals.
Much relief is felt here at the sue
cessful removal of our eXpeditlonary
forces from Gallipoli. another won
derful achievement OF the British
navy. which may be compared with
the Decentralization of MoOre's forces
after the battle of Corunna.
| find the City to-day looking for
ward with eagerncss to the Christ
mas holidays. The American securi-
ties mobilization scheme is unpopu-
lar in our Stock Exchange and some
amendment is expected. The Minis
ters are now getting plenty to crit
icism, but no tolerabic alternative
has yet been proposed.
Exchange conditions seem better
and may continue 50 for good
while if credit funds are skilfully
used.
Scandinavian exchange has fallen
all to pieces through want Of conf
deucc, and experts think Russian
exchange cannot climb much higher.
Some strong insurance companies
arc much incensed at the proposal
to forbid the distribution of any
bonus as being highly unfair TO
I policyholders.
May ! end by wishing my friends
in New York a happy Christmas and
world peace long before the New
