MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, July 10.
Branding Japan an "unfaithful ally"
Colonel Robert R. Mccormick, presi-
dent of the Chicago Tribune" Com
pany, and one Of the editors-in-chief
of the paper, told the jury in the
Ford-"Tribune" libel suit to-day that
the island empire had constantly
"firted with Germany" with view
to a Japanese-German alliance, and
sought separate peace up to the very
time of the armistice. This testimony
came up in connection with a "Trib-
une" cartoon of February 13, 1917, en-
titled "Watchful Waiting" in which
Japan was depicted unfavorably.
Japan had been threatening the
United States with war for great
many years-was at that time, and is
now," said Colonel Mccormick There
is very great peril from Japanese ag-
gression, and there was then"
"ln the opinion of the editors of the
, Tribune she was an unfaithful ally
to England at the time, was she ?''
asked Attorney William Lucking, of
counsel for Ford.
Japan was certainly threatening to
desert before the Zimmerman note.
1t is only fair to state | learned that
on the general staff in France, though. E"
Japan has been in the council of
the Allies in Paris the last few months,
hasn't she-recognized as a faithful
ally throughout the"-
eyes, and she was exposed as nego-
tiating with Germany for a separate
peace during that negotiation"
What one of the Allies has charged
Japan with that?"
81 don't know that it has been
charged publicly. I don't know that
she has ever admitted it. She did

Europe's Credit Needs
Placed at T,uo Billions
Germany WiH Need $500, ,OOO,-
OOOin Coming Year to Return
to Peace Basis, Say Bankers

Europe's credit needs for the next
twelve months were placed at $4,000
100000 by bankers just returning from
abroad. or this sum, 1t was estimated
that Germany would require at least
$500, 100000. Russia's wants are not
included in the rough forecast, because
of the unwillingness Of banking inter
ests seriously to consider that nation
while the existing disorder prevails.
1t was considered likely that after
peace is formally proclaimed in this
country that German loan might be
floated, and bankers declared it was
not unlikely that German-A1nericans
and others would purchase adequately
secured German bonds. In this con-
nection, 1t was said that the needs of
Germany would probably be treated as
separate operation outside of the
general plan for European aid. which
the bankers of this country are formu-
lating.
The ratification of the peace treaty
by Germany automatically lifted the
blockade, although the trading with the
enemy act in the United States has not
yet been formally suspended. 1t is
understood that the ARRANGEMENTS
made some months ago by the supreme
economic council at Spa and Brussels
to finance the shipment of food into
Germany would be continued tempo
rarlly to take care of Immediate pur-
chases.
Under this plan, Germany produced
gold from the Reichsbank and Brit
ish, French and American securities
1t is estimated that Germany now
holds some $5,000,OO0 of securities
of this country.
In supplying credits to Europe, the
United States will not be unassisted d
by other countries, the returning
bankers feel. Aid from the Argentine
where German holdings are stiff large
the rest of South America, Austrtlia
and, in lesser degree, from the Eu-
ropean neutrals is antcipated. One
well-lnformed observer expressed the
opinion that Great Britain, too, woulc
be able to extend credit to the Cont
nent, although she does not think sc
at this time.
a somewhat more optimistic view
than that held by travellers who re-
turned earlier was expressed regarding
the chances of reversion in Europe
to. normal economic life. 1t was sale
labor was ready to go back to work
anu thdt employers, as soon as the
peace treaty is generally ratified, will
go ahead with more courage and con
fdence. The prediction was made thai
France, one-seventh of whose area was
devastated during the war, would be
back on a semi-normal basis in two
years: The British Labor party wa:

Klotz's Proposal to Wipe
Out Debt Is Regarded
as Uns sou n d Policy

Wall Street bankers asked yester-
day to comment on tho statement
:nodo in the French Chamber Of Dep
uties that the Allied governments had
been asked to help pay of the French
war debt expressed their opposition to
the cancellation Of credits exceeding
$4,000, 100000 advanced by the Treas
ury Of the United States to the French
Republic during the last two years Of
the war.
The prevailing view was that it
would be unsound economic policy for
the United States to wipe out its loans
Of nearly $4,000, 100000 to the Euro
pean nations who we're aligned against
the Central Powers. Bankers return
ing from Europe declared that many
Europeans would regard the sponging
of the financial slate as an insult.
However, it Is known that some in
fluentiai European bankers have sug-
gested softening of the debt, particu-
larly an abatement Of the interest
charges for period at least. y
Bankers called attention to the dis
tinction between the plan they are
form ulating to lend financial assist
ance to Europe and to one suggested
by M Klotz. The tentative Am merican
banking programme does not entail
rehabilitating European treasures or
currencies, but rather the extension
of credits to permit the purchase of
raw materials, machinery, and manu-
factured goods in this country and in
other places outside of Europe.
Bankers reiterated their disinclina-
tion to bolster up European internal
currencies at this time. TO do so, it was
said would require the shipment of
gold from the United States into coun-
! tries whose trade balances are in favor
of this country. If this were deemed
desirable. American interests could buy
European securities and pay for them
in gold, instead of European exchange
In we'll informed banking quarters it
was said that M. Klotz undoubtedly
would favor the cancellation of Amerl-
can government loans to France as a
way out of the financial difficulties he
is charged with solving. He has been
| seeking for many weeks at Paris to in
terest financial representatives of other
countries, particularly Great Britain
and the United States to form a tinan-
