PREPARATIONS CREDIT
SOUGHT IN BERLIN
Finance Experts Meet Bankers
but Fail to Arrange for
Payments.
Bu the Associated Press.

BERLIN. SEPT. 17.--Government fnan-
cial experts to-day conferred with prl-
vate bankers on the question Of raising
gold credits to meet reparations obliga-
tions, but failed to make any definite
arrangement for the payments. the Al
ISOLATED Press correspondent was in
formed In ofiicial quarters.
Difficulties are being encountered
from certain Industrial groups, particu-
!arly In the Rhineland. which ask how
they are to pay for raw materials pur
chased abroad II they surrender their
foreign credits TO the state. Director
General Wiedfeldt of the Krupp works
recently declared at a meeting OF the
Rhenish Westphalian Chamber of Com
merce that such a surrender meant "tie
sacrifice of the nations life blood" and
that no one vas able to say whether
even this measure would give satisfac-
tory results.
Another point of controversy Is that
the Rightist parties, which largely rep
resent industrial and landed interests.
would have an important part in any
credit arrangement and in return might
demand a proportionately large repre-
sentation In the Government.
Newspapers hint that offers of credit
have been received from American.

Dutch and other European financial In
sttutions. but bankers have made no
announcements OF this kind. The Vor-
icaerts doubts the ability of German fin
anciers to raise sufficient funds to meet
the reparations payments by voluntary
means. II declares that appropriations
through state legislation alone will
prove effective.
The gravity OF the financial situation
has been more generally recognized
among financiers and politicians since
the exchanges between bankers and the
Government began.
There is apparently no tendency 70
declare the condition of the currency
hopeless. or TO abandon efforts toward
raising the next reparations instalmert,
despite the fact that the Reichsbank's
gold, amounting to little mole than one
billion marks. covers the paper money

matter.

tions would result in further occupations

the more petty national troubles, il
seems clear that Russia must be saved
with the help or without the help of
her present rulers.
First of all, as DIR. Nansen says, it is
question OF humanity. We cannot
stand by and see millions of our fel-
low human beings starve to death
without stretching out helping hand.
1t would be crime, convicting every
soul among us of abominable indif-
ference to human agony. But even
from the most selfish viewpoint, 1t is
necessary to save the Russian people.
Their famine and the failure Of
their harvest are going to lower the
standard of life everywhere, because
without Russian trade Europe, of
which Russia is such an immense
part. is not going to regain her old
prosperity, and until Europe prospers,
trade will languish in the rest of the
world. That may not seem obvious
to many people. 1t may seem fantastic
and absurd to people in Canadian and
American towns. Nevertheless, 1t Is
grim fact of life, which is as clear
as sunlight to those who understand
the tides and currents of commerce
and industry and international finance.
We must save Russia for the sake
of our own souls. to say nothing of
our own stomachs. To me there Is
something frightful in the squabble
now going on about the political side
of various relief schemes. While
20. .000.0 900 to 30.000,o00 people are sick
unto death with hunger, Governments
are exchanging notes proposing COM
missions for investigation and play
ing politics with the Bolsheviki.
Must Go On with Rescue Work.
Personally. I respond to DR.. Nam
sens way of argument, which is to
get on with the rescue work. Get food
to the starving people and demand
nothing from the Soviet Government,
except the safeguards that relief off,
GERS shall be helped and not hindered
and the supplies shall be used for
starving peasants and not for the
Red armies. The work of the Quakers
which has been going on quietly fol
many months, shows that such meth
ods are successful.
I have been severely criticised fol-
suggesting that Soviet organization.
should be used locally to provide FOL
transportation and assist in distribu
ton. There seems to me to be NJ
The New York herald., 1921-09-18

and that by helping Russia we help
ourselves.
Bolshevism will be killed quickest
by letting in light and air and rescu-
ing the Russians from their famine
hunted state. Be that as 1t may, and
do not dogmatize on knowing the
danger and difficulty OF this problem.
1t is certain, as said in the beginning
of this article. that the Washington
conference will have no chance of
great success II the French delegates
and others are haunted by old fears
and new bogeys, and II the European
and Asiatic peoples are in turmoil OF
insurrection and conflict.
write this as a warning note with
the sound of breakers ahead. but
think that IL these dangers were real
ized and not ignored by men rising
above petty conflicts and national in
terest to the larger needs OF human
ity the rocks Of ruin may be avoided.
There Is a great gathering of popular
opinion beating up which will reach
out to Washington and give spiritual
support to the delegates who face these
things with courage and largeness of
heart. But IL they faI by smallness
OF character or timidity there will be a

sia. France needs the German in
IDENTITIES for her own national SOL
yency as well as for the repayment
Of old Russian loans. Great Britain
needs German trade, and so does
Italy and many other countries, in
cluding the United States.
With Russia wiped out still further
by disease and death. the future health
of Europe and the whole world is not
likely to improve. But this Russian
famine has raised all sorts of ques-
tions which will endanger peace. or,
at least, postpone anything like dis
armament, unless they are quickly
dealt with by generous statesman
ship. 1t was made clear to me in Ger
many recently by men like DR.. Gustav
Stresemann. leader of the Peoples
party, and by the Scheidemann Ma
jority Socialists. that their chance of
paying the war indemnities after next
year at the latest would largely be in
fiuenced by a revival Of Russian trade.
Now France during the last week or
two has been influenced to some extent
her own economists are bringing
themselves to the conviction that Ger
man bankruptcy cannot long be post
poned and that future indemnities of
the scale decided upon in the Ver-
sailles treaty are but thin air. From
that they conclude that they must
take quickly what they can get from
Germany in other FORMS. at least safe
guarding themselves in a military way
by divorcing the Rhine Provinces from
the rest Of the Empire and supporting
Bavarian secession from Prussia
Germany IL I'm Confusion.
That raises the hornets nest again
and is not good for the prospects OF
peace. Meanwhile, in Germany itself
the conflict Is growing more intense
between the Nationalists and the re-
actionaries who revolt against the
high taxation imposed by the Wirth
Government in order to fulfill their
pledges to the Allies. and on the other
side by the Republicans, who favor
still greater taxation of capital, pro-
vided labor gets fair wages.
So it Is that the economic state
of the world is intensifying political
unrest again, and movements ani
forces are arising that are not easily
controlled by craftsmanship. even Il
inspired by good will. Looking at this
problem In large way and ignoring

millions die. 1t is the only organiza-
tion that exists and could be smashed
only by a.great war. which Is incon-
ceivable, and nothing can be done
without II.
This opinion OF mine, which I hesi-
tate to put forward because to some
minds It may seem to favor support of
Bolshevism, for which I have no use
at all, is confirmed by Brig. Gen. Bird
wood Thompson. who has just come
from Russia, and has allowed me to
publish his own conclusions from
personal observations. They run
counter to most thirgs published in
the European press. which he accuses
of sensation mongering for sinister
purposes. and which have contributed
In no small measure to the unemploy-
ment Of 100000 men and women in
England.
Russia" he says, ''is now living on
the last remnants Of her pre-war in
dustrial system. That system had
been built largely by British and
American enterprise and technical
skill. The Germans built her manu-
featuring centres. Four years OF war,

began the undermining process. Then
came the blockade and four successive
invasions. Now famine is raging in
the most fertile districts. 1t is more
than probable that no other country
except America could have survived
SO many ordeals. each OF which dealt
heavy blow to Russia's industrial
life. and their cumulative effect may
prove fatal

Finds Communists strong.
Gen. Thompson viii surprise mos,
people outside Of Russia when he says
that although the Communists have
modif,.sd some of their economic the
ories. their political position is strong
er than ever. In his opinion, even
Lenine's most bitter opponents admi,
that Russia's present rule is aione
capable of carrying out the tasks OF
reorganization and reconstruction
That fact. he says, must be faced be-
fore any practical policy can be framed
for dealing with the gravest OF all in
ternational problems of the present
time.
Such a policy should be free from
greed. and should aim at reconstruc-
ton in Russia as. part OF an indis-
pensible and preliminary step.
Until this first step is taken," he
said. 'all intercourse with Russia will
be superficial. and in consequence
both the humanitarian efforts to re-
lieve the famine stricken people and
the economic enterprises of wider scope
will fail to achieve their ends"
This remarkable opinion Of a mar
of the highest reputation, who speak.
from first hand knowledge of Russian
conditions to-day, cannot be ignored
or ascribed to Bolshevist tendencies
