Debt Problem
DR.. Koesier Asserts Allies
Must Risk a Germany
Economically Strong if
They Hope for Indemnity
Anxious TO Obey Treaty
Rehabilitation Of Mark to
Make Foreign Trade Pos

By William c. Dreher
Special Cable to The Tribune

BERLIN, May 11.-Otficals Of the
finance ministry arc holding night and
day sessions in an effort to decide
whether Germany will be able to pay
fixed sum of indemnity and, if so,
the amount which the nation can un
dertake to turn over to the Allies.
Dr.. Rooster, foreign secretary, in an
only be to make full and frank state
ment of Germany's economic condition
and bring about an exhaustive dis
cussion as to how we can fulfill the
treaty on a basis of existing conditions.
One prerequisite is that the Allies de-
eide definitely what they really intend
to do about Germany. Perhaps there
are among the Allies those who desire
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of Germany and d
continuance of her eco1omic weakness.
If that wish prevails the Spa confer
ence will be without significance for
Europe.
Il believe Germany can recover with
out unsettling Europe, politically or
economically. 70 accomplish this,
foodstufs and increased agricultural
production are necessary, also the re-
Mobilization of the mark, so that Ger
many may become able to participate
in the worlds trade. Otherwise, |
am convinced that Germany will be
thrown into state of perpetual politi-
cal economic unrest. The Communists
dream of employing reactionary troops
to upset the government and establish
dictatorship, hoping later to convert
in into a dictatorship of the proleta
rat. If the Allies wish to see Central
Europe return to a settled condition,
they must take the risk of Germany
becoming economically strong"
Referring to the food situation, DR..
Rooster produced statistics showing
that the distribution of rations now is
as low as at the time Of the armistlce.
The policy of the Allies toward Ger
many, he declared, has not been such
as to enable her to fulfill the treaty,
but has actually resulted in making her
less able to do so. Dr. Rooster de-
plored the fact that French informal
ton about Germany is taken chiefly
from independent Socialists, who arc
unaware of the peril of a possible com
bination Of the Communists and the
reactionares.
1--WE desire to carry out the treaty."
he continued, "but the Entente. instead
Of giving US the means of fulhllment,
makes us so weak as to defeat fulfill
ment and persists in a policy like the
occupation of Frankfort. This under
mines the government authority and
exposes it to the Vaccinations of the
/ extremists"

Wall Street Cool
TO German Bonds
Prensiers' Plan to Float
Indemnify Securities
Here Held Un0dvisabEe

International bankers in Wall Street
were cool yesterday to the suggestion
coming from the Allied conference at
Hythe, England. that the European ma
tions might be able to discount their
PREPARATION payments from Germany in
this country. Some bankers took the
view that the American people would
be disinclined to have TINS country
cntanglc itself with the collection of
the German indemnity.
"Proposals have been coming from
European sources ever since the sign
ing of the armistice." an official of one
of the large banks said, "for the pool
ing of credit by the Allied countries
and the United States, but they have
side of the Atlantic because it would
mean merging our financial strength
with Europe's weakness.
This latest plan seems to me to be
a pooling of credit in a less direct
way. Europe does need credit to
finance the purchase of raw material,
but in cXteding credit we should make
sure that it will be spent for materials
to go into industry and not for the
purchase Of munitions or the waging Of
private wars"
Another leading figure in the fnan-
cial district said "the American people
would rise on their launches in pro
test against acceptance of the PLAN"
and further that it would be politically
inexpedient to discuss such a program
in Washington.
In some quarters it was granted on
the other haGd, that 1t would ease the
tension in Europe somewhat e German
reparation payments could be used to
cancel Allied Indebtedness in the
United States. But it was asserted
that it was bad banking to give up an
indorser once he has written down his
name, and that it sWould be bad for
the United States Treasury to accept

To appreciate the possibilities which
