GERMAN BONDS

A public question which affects the people much
more than they are perhaps aware, is the extent to
which this country should go in accepting German
bonds in settlement of allied claims The allies
want their reparaton money, which is quite nat
ural Germany is not provided with the cash at
this time to settle them. as the installments come
due. She can only give her bonds for them But
the bonds are worthless to France. England, Bel
GUM and Italy unless they can sell them, and the
only possible customer is the United States.
If this country accepted them. it would do so,
Of course, with the endorsement of the allies.
which would make them safer than with Ger
many's signature alone; but we should have to
look first to the maker of the bonds, that is to
Germany, and try to collect them before looking
to the endorsers. Those bonds would not be pop
ular in America, because the feeling in this cOun-
try is not yet entirely cordial toward the central
powers To force them on the market would be to
crowd out other investments necessary for the coun-
trys development In the long run, it amounts to
nothing more or less than proposition to have this
country underwrte and undertake the collection of
the allied reparaton claims. If the government is
wise it will leave this to somebody else.
