Germany Will be
After War
SIR HARDMAN LEVER, BRITISH
FINANCIAL EXPERT, so ASSERTS
INTERNAL LOANS PILE UP
Forecasts a Central Purchasing Com
mittee in Washington for Purchas-
ing of Supplies for the Entente
Allies.

Washington, May 3.-Crea ton of a
central purchasing committee in
Washington for all supplies bought in
the United States for the allied gov
ernments was forecast here today by
Sir Hardman Lever, financial expert
of the British war mission. He point
ed out why a joint directing bureau
would be essential to secure the most
economical administration of the huge
credits authorized by this country and
the fairest distribution of supplies
among the various nations.

the British expert expressed the opin-
ion that Germany will be virtually
bankrupt in the credit markets atser

boasted efficiency, have never had the
courage to face their financial prob

Piiing Up Internal Loans.
The Teutonic governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained, their inteheSt
charges would be so great that he be-
lieved they would either have to re-
pudiate large part of their debt, or
face inability to buy the enormous
quantities Of material they would
need.
Allies Have Paid Their Way.
The allies, he added, had paid their
way in the war by pouring out our
gold, by selling enormous masses OF
American securities and by raising
loans AS q result. he predicted that
the end of the war would find them in
very good shape financially.
United States A;d Timely.
Sir Hardman said the financial aid
of the United States had relieved
Great Britain of a load of anxiety.
'T am convinced that the financial
test which awaits this country will be
readily solved. 1t is worth remem ber-
ing that in assisting the allies, you
are working with the great advan-
tage that the money which you ad-
vance is all spent in this country and
returns to your banks to furnish the
necessary"
