Bankers Desire
To Handle After
War Credits Abroad
Small Commissions and
Favorable Terms to Allies
Are Forecast

The problem of extending financial
aid to the Allied nations during the
reconstruction period after the war
has been lifted out of the realm of
academic discussion, and has recently
become the subject matter of con-
ferences OF bankers in the financial
community. Although no concrete
plan of action has yet been formu-
lated. it was ascertained yesterday
that important banking groups believe
that after-the-war loans to foreign
countries should be taken out of the
hands of the government and placed
in charge of the bankers,
In explaining their attitude, bank
crs point out that France, Great
Britain, Belgium, and Italy. since the
outbreak of the war in 1914 have in
Cured an indebtedne to the United
States Government OF approximately
10,o00,000,000, and, in addition. this
country has liquidated obligations in
Europe to the extent of $4,000, 900, 900.
OF the aggregate European war debts,
private investors here hold between
$1,000, 900, 900 and $4,000, 100000.
The disproportion between the Allied
debts carried by the United States
Government and American individuals,
bankers maintain, make it advisable
that the burden OF financing the peace
requirements of the Allies should be
undertaken through banking co-opera-
tion, with government backing only if
necessary, An advantage of this
method, according to those who advo-
cate it, would be that it would re-
lieve the treasury at Washington Of
too great exertions, as it is fully
realized that large sums will be needed
to rebuild the devastated regions Of
France and Belgium, and Italy too
will probably need considerable tinan-
cial aid, in addition to the smaller
allies. The question OF the effect of
German indemnity upon the financing
of reconstruction by the Allies will
remain open until more precise in
able.
"rhese countries" well informed
banker pointed out yesterday, "have
no other place to borrow from. except
the United States. And Fl they buy
here the enormous quantities of ma
terals that they viii! need we will
have to continue to finance them. We
don't want their gold and they will
not have enough goods to sell here to
rectify the exchange situation. 1t
seems then that there is nothing else
for us to do but TO buy their securities,
which ! believe can be sold here to
best advantage through the medium Of
private banking groups.
"New York bankers in recent con-
ferences have given the subject serious
consideration and by the time that
peace has been signed I believe that
they will be ready to act quickly on
definite proposals from any Of the AL
lied countries. I think it is the unani-
nous opinion Of the banking COM
munity that such loans will not be
entered into with the idea of making
big commits s;ons, nor do I think the
American investor will demand high
interest rate even in the case of the
nation that has no security to offer,
except its I. o. u"

The Federal Reserve Bank last night
announced that the Secretary Of the

Only about sS0O,O00 GOO remains to be
paid on fourth Liberty bonds in this

mates, and if the manner of paying
off of the previous loans is followed,
most of this sum will be paid in on
November 81. The statement of the
Reserve Bank, duplicate of which
was sent out in the other Reserve dis
tricts, follows:
"The Secretary Of the Treasury has
to-day called for prepayment on No
treasury certificates Of indebtedness
dated August G, 1913, maturing Decem-
Der 5, 1918, known Jas series w ., the
call being in conformity with the
terms of the issue

"Under the terms of Treasury De-
partment circular 12l, certificates of
that series and also those of series
&C, dated July % and maturing No
vember 21. 1918, may be used in
making payments on Liberty Loan

issued in this district $211,7l4,000 and

"After the redemption of these two
issues there will remain outstanding

Farrell, in his report, "has been marked
by much discussion of proposals for

"lf the peace is satisfactory eco
nomic warfare will be impossible 1t
is for US to devote our fullest effort
now to insuring the enforcement of q
just and final peace" he said. "With
such peace we can go forward in

lens Of the future. Another problem
will be the negotiation of new COM

tured by the declaration of war"
To Protect Merchant Fleet
The committee on merchant marine,
composed Of Mr.. Marrell, P. A. S. Frank
lin, of New York, and Robert Dollar,
Of San Francisco, declared that the
United States will emerge from the
war with n large merchant fleet and
with the facilities for its renewal and
expansion.
But" the committee reported ''un-
less steps are taken this very year
toward the formulation OF sound ma
tional maritime policy, it may be set
down as absolutely certain that these
new American vessels will not remain
under the American flag. but will be
driven to other flags by inexorable
economic laws
CAT the conclusion of the war the
merchant feet will represent an ex-
penditure by the United States of S4,-
000,00o,000. It is obvious that no pri-
vate concern viii attempt TO invest
that amount in order to operate the
ships under the American flag.
"Manifestly the correct procedure
is that indicated by the chairman OF
the Shipping Board in his suggestion
that the valuation of these vessels
be written down and portion Of their
cost be charged off to war service"

Cotton

The intense excitement due to the
circulation Of untrue peace reports
on Thursday was followed by an ex-
tremely nervous and Irregular but com
paratiyely quiet cotton market yester-
day. Part Of the business probably
represented the readjustment of COM
mitments undertaken on belief that
the armistice had been signed yester-
day afternoon and trading was fairly
active during the early session. Later,
however, the volume of business ta-
pered off sharply and prices worked
lower under scattering liquidation in
the absence of any immediate support.
After selling at 1885 at the start,
January contracts rallied to 29.15,
broke to $3.50 and closed at 1888
with the general list closing steady at
net decline of SO to 67 points
The opening was unchanged to 60
points lower in response to weak Liv-
crpol cables and overnight selling
orders. The report Of the Census Bu-
reau on ginning made bullish show
ing, however, while overnight spot ad
vices in the South indicated that Of
ferings had been practically withdrawn
after the publication of the unfounded
armlstice reports yesterday, and the
market soon rallied. There was a
good deal OF covering, but after an
advance of 80 to 81 points from Thurs
days closing figures the more urgent
demand from shorts seemed to be sup
piled and prices turned easier under
scattering liquidation. The close was
within few points of the lowest.
