Director of DeutSChe Bank
Says Bankers Would Ask
Americas Support.
BY CARL ID. GROAT.
BY United Press:

BY United Press:
BERLIN. July Il. - Germany
wants loans or credit from Ameri-
ca.
Director Wasserman of the
Deutsche bank made this clear to-
day in an interview in which he
pointed out that raw materials and
food were essential if Germany was
to meet the obligations of the en-
tento and become a stable member
of world society.
German bankers would not make
oVertures to the Americans, Was
serman said, as they did not know
nom TO approach, but would wait
for American financiers 10 renew re-
lations.
Only One Way.
There is only one way Germany
can be helped at this time" he said.
IF she can get copper and other
raw materials on credit then she can
begin the task of building up her
country and repaying her debts.
VIC would want credit for as long
time as was required TO produce
manufactured goods. With the pro
ceeds from half or five-eighths OF
the raw materials thus manufac-
tured. / believe we could repay our
credits"
Herr Wasserman emphasized the
adyisability OF the entente and
America taking steps by which the
value OF the German mark could be
stabilized for a year or two.
Asks of SOcializatiOn.
Wasserman, who is one of Ger
many's leading financiers, is also a
close follower Of political and social
affairs l asked him incidentally
what he thought OF the specialization
| Of Germany.
From the political standpoint il
/ is purely an internal question" he
answered. but from an economic
course it interests foreign nations
/ I believe socialist political control
could be accomplished, but as for ac-
tual and complete industrial social
izinS there is no chance at present
That Will be a process Of evolution
You can't force socialism on a
whole nation at one stroke
! do believe that If Germany were
lsocialized other countries would no
deal with her. But America and the
other powers need have no cause FOL
worry from that standpoint"
