New York Herald Buresu.
Berlin, Sept. 22.
James Speyer of the banking house of
Speyer 4 Co. of New York. has passed
week in Berlin investigating financial
conditions here. i0ea
Low prices and the reduced purchas-
ing power of foreign countries, and es-
pecially Of the German mark, is an i'm
portant and serious problem for the
United States" Mr.. Speyer said to THE
NEW YORK HERALD correspondent here
to-day. II do not believe that the full
effect of this depreciation has yet been
felt, and America does not realize the
unfavorable consequences in connection
with unemployment.
The United States is bound to suffer
as result OF the fact that the curren-
cies of other countries are under par,
while the dollar remains at parity. or
course there is greater disparity be-
tween the dollar and the mark, in so far
as purchasing power is concerned. than
there is In some other currencies.
Then, too, we are the largest pro-
ducers of raw materials. Before the
war Germany bought about a third of
our exports of copper and quarter of
our cotton exports. Then the mark had
twenty times the purchasing power 1t
has to-day. as 1t is now worth less than
cent.
For eighteen months after the block
ade Germany was almost bare of neces-
stiles, but the mark then had greater
buying power than II has to-day.
"The worst feature of the situation is
that Germany can manufacture much
cheaper than America, because wages
here are lower, averaging so cents a
day. A tariff wall will not help Amer
lea. because II it were established many
American manufacturers would lose the
sway in foreign markets which they
have already established
Answering a question OF how to rem
edy the situation, Mr.. Speyer said:
First discover why the mark has de-
creased in value. The Germans say it
is impossible for an impoverished coun-
try to pay what is demanded of Ger
many before 1t has time to recover from
period of ruinous warfare and isola-
ton. ! do not believe the repara ton
payments alone are responsible, although
foreign economists agree that they cam
not be met under existing conditions.
Long term and good sized credits
might help tide over the critical period.
The difficult problem. however. is how
to stabilize and raise the purcha sing
power Of the mark. This question con-
Germs both capital and labor in the
United States"
Mr.. Speyer refused to discuss the
political situation in Germany, but de-
clared that the deprecated mark brings
hardships to millions OF persons through
the increased cost of living here. He
was shocked at the number of cripples
and war beggars he saw in Berlin and
said he saw two persons faint in the
street.
II will be glad to return to America
he said.

GENEVA, Sept 22.--The big Powers
are vigorously objecting to the League
of Nations naeddling In European dis
putes like the Serbo-Albanian row with
out their expressed consent and request.
This attitude on their part Is causing
much resentment by advanced leaders,
who are contending that this is tending
to discredit the league and Is causing

Eritain's watch dogs here. to-day to keep
its hands off both the Albanian row and
the Upper Silesian question: because they
Gre being handled either by the Allied
Supreme Council or Council of Ambas-
sadors.
The big Powers. however. have a trou-
blesome factor on their hands in this
League Assembly. This was shown
when the Political Commission voted by
big majority to-day that the Assembly
demand the Supreme Council settle the
Upper Silesian dispute and that the
Serbo-Albanian dispute was matter
of concern to the league, and, therefore
the league was entitled to all the infor-
nation in the possession OF the Powers
regarding it.
Fighting I'm Albania.
The Albanians insist that real fighting
is going on between them and the
Serbians. To-day they showed COM
munique which told about Serbian forces
advancing on Albanian frontier villages
and their being repulsed by Albanian
troops. Serbian representatives here in
sisted that most OF these reports were
manufactured.
THE commission voted to discuss the
Sefbo-Albanian war on Monday, after
Great Britain. France and Italy had
promised to obtain further information,
If possible, by that time.
Lord Robert Cecil. representing the
Union of South Africa, urged that the
dispute between the Serbians and the
Albanians be given consideration at once.
Mr.. Fisher of Great Britain, NJ Rcy-
nald Of France and the Marquis di I'm
periali of Italy opposed this and urged
that the matter be held In allegiance until
their Governments could get more de-
tailed information regarding the situa-
ton and what has happened. Lord
Robert, however, declared that Albania,
a member of the league. had appealed
to it and that under such circumstances
the league could not defer action or her
appeal. However, Great Britain, France
and italy had their way about 1t and
the discussion was put over.

OUT FOR STADIUM
Kansas Aggies Want Structure
to Cost 100000.
Plan for First Section To Be
Ready Next Fall.

Manhattan, Kan, Dec. 30.-K. S. A.
c. is to have a stadium which shall
be a fitting memorial for the Aggies
who gave their lives in the war. One
section of the memorial stadium will
be completed before the beginning of
the 1922 football season, and three
additional sections will be built within
the next two or three years. Native
Kansas stone of the kind used in the
construction of the college building
will be employed in building the me
mortal stadium. The total cost will
be 100000.
President Jardine has authorized
the beginning of a campaign for the
raising of funds from friends of the
| college. A committee is working out
details. 1t has not been finally deter
mined whether the campaign shall ex-
tend over two or three years. The
tentative plans call for a total fund
of 100000.
"In view of the general economic
| depression We would not think of call.
ing upon our alumni for the full $780,
! 600 within the next year." said Presi-
dent Jardine, 'but the worst of the
| depression is past, we hope. The year
1922 is expected to bring with it
| better business conditions generally.
/ Within two or three years our alumni
| and other friends of K. S. A c. will
/ be in a position to contribute their
| snare toward cOmpIetlon OIL the me
mortal stadium"
| The stadium will be situated on the
site of the present athletic field but
| the football field will be laid off at an
angle running northwest and south
east, instead of east and west, as at
present.
The structure will be in the south
west corner of the field. When COM
pleted it will form a proportionally
small section of a great circle, instead
/ of the conventional U-shape stadium.
| Spectators. seated in the proposed new
! stadium will face a panorama of the
| college building, with Nichols gymna-
| SUM on the extreme right and Engi-
| neer1nS hall on the extreme left.
VIII Seat 10000 Persons
1t is planned to design the stadium
/ in the same general style of architec-
| ture as that of Nichols gymnasium
| Beauty of line and workmanship is
| to be emphasized as much as utility
Use of native stone will lend distiuc-
tion to tbs structure.
The four sections will seat 10000
persons, it is planned. The space un-
| derneath the seats will be utilized for
| locker rooms, shower, recreation cen
ters, and club rooms for old grads and
others. With the growth of intra-
mural athletics at K. S. A. c. the floor
space of Nichols gymnasium has be-
come taxed to capacity. 1t is planned
/ that provisions for taking care of fu-
ture growth in intramuraI athletics
may be made in the space beneath the
stadium.
