TO AID At PARIS
Lamont and Strauss Will
Advise on Peace Problems
Involving Billions.

Thomas W. Lamont and Albert
Strauss will be If the Atlantic ocean
is not too boisterous, in Paris, by the
first or second Of February. When
they will return to the United States
depends upon the settlement Of some
financial questions which may involve
billions OF dollars. President Wilson
apparently learned during his confer
ences in Paris that the practical, or
even the technical side of finance,
would inevitably be called into use
OF these great questions which are not
so much political as economic, are
satisfactorily settled, In the financial
district IL was said today that 1t
might be easy to say what should be
the amount os the tndemnities which
Germany must pay, but II might be
far from easy to determine precisely
how these indemnities could be Sc
cured and how they may be dlstrib-
uted- Then again IL may be found
worth while to reach a decision fav-
oJinC cooperation between all of the
allies with respect to liquidation OF
the great debts which have accumu-
lated since the war began. The United
States is To he financially represented
at the conference directly or indirect
ly by the recognition of the fact that
our allies are debtors to the United
States by as much as eight billion five
hundred million dollars and that the
aggregate may become as great as ten
billions within a year or eighteen
months
lntimaJiOns have been received in
the financial district that a propo-
sitiOn may be made that the aggre-
gate war inde btedness be apportiOn-
ed among the nations. including the
United States. This is looked upon
as an echo of a proposition made
Few weeks ago. that the United
states send a receipted bill to Eng
land. France, Italy and belgium and
IN that way by one stroke of the
pen wipe of the books, the accounts
which show what the indebtedness
or these nations to the United
states for borrowed money or for
credits is. When Great Britain and
France came to the United States
. IN 1915 for the purpose of securing
a loan of S5OO,0OO.OOO, (in fact the
original purpose was a loan of ST.
0.00O. .OOO), all of the details of this
loan were worked out by men whose
experience in finance and in banking
has been extensive and very praC-
ttCal. II required a few words from
). p. Morgan. who was at the head
OF the syndicate of American bank
IS. which it was hoped would -un-
derwrite the loan, in order to es-
Jsblish perfect confidence in the
proposition. Mr.. Morgan said the
loan was an excellent one to fioat.
the security was Of the highest be
cause il represented the good faith
As well as the resources of Great
Britain and Of France. and the bust
ness OF absorbing the loan in the
1 nited States could be adequately
handled BY American bankers. That
was sufficient. The loan was under
written and has been absorbed. But
II was not So much the work of
statesmen or OF government officers
as 1t was the work Of experienced
men Of Hnance- which made this
possible.

Floating Other Loans

DJher IoIus. -lch as the Canadian,
We're taken care OF by American
bankers and the aggregate of all this
Obligation Is now estimated 10 be con-
siderably in excess of a billion dot
Lars. 30 much as that and perhaps
more must b. added to the figures
which. when complete. will show the
total Indebtedness TO the United
States
Ii was not difficult for the govern
ment at Washington to lend funds Or
credit to England. France. Italy and
Belgium. but il may be somewhat
difficult to IiGU,date this Indebtedness
or 70 LN the TERMS upon which
IiuuidatiOn can be ultimately secured.
This calls for the services of men
who have already achieved greatly in
the field Of international finance. No
one has had greater success upon the
technical and practical side than
Thomas ". Lamont. and as there are
to be inevitably questions which in
NOlVC foreign exchange, il was neCes-
sary to secure the services of a mas
ter of that difficult. delicate and not
easily learned science and art.
Such a master was found in AL
bert Strauss. Mr.. LamOHt and Mr..
Strauss as financial advisers and ex-
pert assistants will each supple
meut the other while in Paris and
London. Lamont has handled deli
cate and yet very great questions
which the purchases by France and
England in the United States Gre
ated. He must have been the guild
ing hand in transactions involving
many millions OF dollars. Many have
been the comments which his skill
ful leadership in this work has oc-
casiOn"d- And il was natural enough
when President Wilson asked the
Secretary Of the Treasury. Mr. Glass,
to make choice of competent Ameri-
can men Of finance for the purpose
OF serving in advisory OPACITY in
Paris, and having made choice, re-
quested these men to sail to Europe
as soon as possible. that Secretary
Glass without hesitation should
name Mr.. Lamont and Mr.. Strauss.
The Question of Indem mites.
Undoubtedly the question Of indem~
mites which Germany must pay Will
be brought to the attention Of Mr..
Lamont and Nj Strauss not for the
pAl pOsE VI dAFltt EeE DecIlng the
amount Of the ndemnities or the man
ner in which they are to be distribut-
ed among the nations. nor in fact the
indemnity which the United States
will demand Of Germany so that in
part We can be paid for the losses
which the war has occasiOned. Mr.
Lamont and Mr. Strauss's part will
be the Quiry Of advice respecting the
manner in which these indemnities
may be collected and the financing
Of them. so, to speak, so that they may
be established without disturbing
greatly the money markets or the
financial life Of the world. Advice OF
this kind is spoken by leaders in the
financial district as momentous, re-
fiecting quite as serious a responsible
ity as does the reaching of a decision
respecting the aggregate indemnities
Germany must pay and in what pro-
portion these indemnities shall be dt-
vided among the nations which have
sustained gigantic losses on account
Of the war

short Interest.


Hide and leather preferred was said
to have a short interest Of about 30.0O)
shares entrapped. The reason for de-
velopment OF this short interest Is
conflicting opinions regarding the fu-
ture of the leather business.
II is probable that d larger extra
dividend would have been declared by
the steel directors had announcement
I OF been made from Washington the
previous day that the Senate and
House finally had agreed on the tax
bill. Passage of the bill by a Demo
cratic Congress is considered in the
financial world a rather bearish de-
relopment because the country is left
TO face foreign trade with no tariff to
protect American industry. II may be
that American industry will need no
protection for a year or two.
Professional traders are not opti-
mistic over the immediate future of
the market because they say L. :.
steel should not sell above eighty on
its present dividend
The rise In cotton options Is largely
the result Of the cut in ocean freights

that the final tone OF the market was
