for stating that the pessimistic re-
ports regarding the peace conference
are entirely unfounded. Premier Lloyd

In three or four days.
Paris. - The preliminary peace
treaty viii be ready by Easter and the
Germans will be asked to come and
sign it at the end of April or the be-
ginning of May, Premier Lloyd George
of Great Britain declared in an inter
view with Stephane Lauzanne, editor
of the Matin. In answer to n remark
by NJ. Lauzanne that what troubled
public opinion was not so much the
delay as the secrecy in which the
peace negotiations were wrapped and
the fear that there was some diver
gence of opinion, the British premier
said:
Il affirm absolutely that there is no
divergence among the negotiators.
They are often confronted with tech
nical difficulties which can only be
settled after close study.
Take the question of reparatlons.
In substance the allies have one com
mon principle, which l once set forth
thus Germany must pay up to the
last farthing of her power
But Is it sufficient TO draw up n
bill and hand it to the enemy? Must
we not require guarantees and must
we not study the terms, methods and
forms of delayed payments? Must we
not be able to say TO our adversary
when he pleads inadequacy of re-
sources: Yes, you can go as far as
that and you must do it and you must
do that
In word, shall we simply present
bill or collect all the money pos
slble? Well, that is where the work
comes in, slow and difficult work,
complicated by the fact that technical
experts of the highest capabilities and
great experience are not in agreement
among themselves either as to the
method of liquidation or as to the as
sets to be realized.
mo. there is no divergence among
the negotiators-but, alas there are
inevitable ones among the experts,
often among those from the same
country. Who is to decide between
them If not the negotiators, and do
you think it can always be done
quickIy?'

LOW EXCHANGE IS DAMAGING
 TRADE OF U. s,
Exchange Rates Compel Foreigners to Go Else where to Purchase At
 Lower Rates

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Three fac tors in the demoralization of foreign enchange, ineligible to the average man, rise above the complexities of the present situation, according to old-timers in wall street.
 These are: CD Allied and other nations of the world owe the United States approximately s15,O00, 100000; i; CD American manufacturers hesitate, owing to peace treaty uncertainty, to accept big advance foreign orders (3) Englands virtual suspension of gold exports outside the British col onies is repulsing American trade.
 Just why the British pound ster- ling, normally worth $5.S665 in Amer ican gold. should have declined so much since the war ended. and what it all means is an obscure question, said a New York financial expert. "The present situation, Sir George Paish's apprehensions notwithstand- ing, is by no means hopeless. Pro phesies of a 'breakdoEn' of credit are not well founded.
 America, the storehouse of the world and now the worlds banker, is in the same position England was in after the Napoleonic and American Civil wars. She bought the cheap securities of impoverished nations in a most prodigious manner and there bjs laid the foundatioas for 'herssfuture wealth. We must do likewise and do it within the next two or three years by which time these abnormal con ditions will have passed.
 With pound sterling 25 per cent or more below par England can sell to the United States at a great ad- vantage. We can sell American goods abroad only at a great disadvantage because we must add the abnormal rate of exchange to the goods to get into foreign markets. Premier LloyG George recently declared, when ster- ling was selling at a discount of b per cent, that the discount really re- presented a protective tariff of b per cent on goods manufactured in England. Certainly it is helping Am erican goods out of that country.
