uttered q few words of warning in
that language all the children IN the

New-York tribune., 1919-06-12
Mr.: Morgan Declares He Neuer
Has Seen a Copy of the Treaty

Senator Borah began the examina.1
ton of Mr.. Morgan, bringing out that
Mr.. Dawson, Mr.. Lamont and Dwight
Morrow are members Of his firm. In
reply to a question Mr.. Morgan said
he did not know what position Bernard
L. Baruch held in Paris, nor what his
business connections in New York
were.' He said specifically that Mr..
Baruch had no business connections
with him. He denied that he had pos
sesscd or seen a copy of the treaty.
MIR. Borah then brought out by ques-
tioning Mr.. Morgan that Mr.. Lamont,
who gave Mr.. Dawson the only copy
of the treaty the investigating COM
mittee has yet discovered, still re-
tanned his partnership in the house of
Morgan. The questioning continued.
Senator Borah-You people are
greatly interested in this situation
then, of course?
Mr.. Morgan-As much as we are in
terested in America financially.
Senator Borah-Your financial oper-
ations are not confined to America?
You are international?
Mr.. Morgan-No. But l mean l re-
gard this as the defence of America
and the American trade situation.
Senator Borah-Yes; and I, natur-
ally. Therefore you would have greater
interest in the terms of this treaty?
Mr.. Morgan--Yes.
Interest in Pact Conceded.
Senator Borah-As financier and a
banker you are interested in it?
Mr.. Morgan-I am interested in
every way.
Senator Borah-Precisely I under
stand that. I am not seeking to get
anything except the substantial fact,
in accord with Mr.. Davison's position,
that as a fnancier and banker you
feel keen interest in the situation
which may be superinduced by the
treaty?
Mr.. Morgan-Very much so.
Senator Borah-That is all.
Senator Hitchcock-1s that for the
reason that America can only sell
goods to Europe on condition that the
financial interests and banking houses
of America assist in arranging credits
Mr.. Morgan-America can only sell
to Europe if they can get paid for
what they sell, and that payment has
got to be arranged for until they be-
gin to produce. There has got to be
time arranged for between the time
they begin to produce and the time
they begin to send goods over here.
That has got to be arranged with the
bankinc interesfs all over tho rourtrv
Senator Hitchcock-You feel that all
the financial interests of the United
States have got to assist In financing
the sale Of goods to Europe7
Mr.. Morgan-Exactly.
Senator Hitchcock-That necessity
grows out of the fact that they have
neither the goods nor products with
which to pay?
New-York tribune., 1919-06-12

inequalities in those countries which
are now being created, or the govern
ments of which are now being created? :?
Mr.. Morgan-I do not know of any.
Senator Borah-What securities are
being held in this country-what
amount?
Mr.. Morgan-I can send you, for
your information, list of the securi-
ties. There'are Canadian, and of Eng
lish, perhaps s25O,oO0,ooo of British
notes, S500,000,O0O of Anglo French,
and certain number of French cities,
