The proposal, said to have been made
by American bankers, that the commls-
sion would be given a loan of half the
sum originally asked, was widely
credited today. The commission let
il be known soon after its arrival
here that it was seeking a billion COL
lars. Five hundred millions, 1T Is said'
have been promised.
This proposal has not appeared to pc
altogether acceptable to the commits
sion. and it is believed the sum will be
increased by S100,000,00O, or possibly
to S75O.000,OO0. before negotiations eno.

having the credit cover exports Oh
every form.
Willing to Aid Loan.
Increasing Willingness on the part
of certain so-called pro-German finan-
cial institutions here to participate
was manifest today. These banking
houses, it was said. are pro-German
only in sympathy, and, if invited. many
would subscribe large sums to a credit
loan which would operate toward a
continuance of the present prosperity
enjoyed by American exporters.
The presence of the commission here
and the publicity given their negotia-
tions have had tonic effect on the
foreign exchange markets. Sterling was
up today to 4.70A, more than 20 cents
above it's low level of three weeks ago,
correspondingly strengthened. Francs
were quoted at $50. 2S cents better
than the lowest figure touched, and
lires reached 624 which is "a cents
above the low record Reichsmarks,

campaign into Wall street today and

several large signboards held aloft by

In these circumstances Mr.. Bryan's
opinions, because of his high position
in the democratic party, are of gen.
eral interest. and they were expressed
by him today as follows:
Il think the military preparedness
which is being advocated by the Ma
tional Defense League and the Navy
League would provoke war instead Of
preventing it. We cannot have the
preparedness which they are asking
unless We subject ourselves to the lead
ership of the men who believe in it,
and they would not only provoke fu-
ture wars. but they would lead us into
the present war if they could"
Asked as to the Swiss military sys-
TEN, whether that might not be suit
able for the United States in some cir
cumstances. Mr.. Bryan said:
'If we were surrounded by nations
greater than ourselves and separated
from them by an imaginary line it
might be worth while to consider what
nations so situated should do. But our
nation Is not situated or surrounded as
Switzerland is. and l see no reason for
the cultivation Of the military spirit
in this country.

Trouble in Raising Money.

On THIS point ne sad:
IF you want to get acquainted with
the difficulties that lie in the way of
the military preparedness ropaganda,
just suggest the method by which the
increased revenue necessary is to be
raised. If you attempt to raise it by
increasing the tariff. the tariff reform
ers will object. If you try to raise it
on beer and whisky, the breweries and
distilleries will object. If you attempt
to raise it on incomes. those who pay
these taxes will object. IT is much
easier to scare the army and navy con-
tractors into the advocacy of prepared
ness than it is to scare the taxpayers
into taking up this unnecessary bur-
den.
