German Heads and Hands
Will Pay, Rathenau Says
Reconstruction Minister Thinks
Deprecated Currencies Will
Bring Nations Together

HAMBURG. July s (By The Asso-
ciated Press. ).-Germany and the
United States were represented as at
the opposite poles of the worlds finan-
cial structure by DR.. Walter Rathenau,
Minister of Reconstruction. in an ad-
dress to-day at a meeting OF the Ham
burg Committee for the Restoration OF
Peacetime Economy
DR.. Rathenau argued that the depre-
citation Of the currencies of the various
nations was tending to weld them to-
gether, none Sof them, with the excep-
ton of the United States. having been
able to escape the ravages of war time
and the postwar economic invasions.
Germany" he continued, "is not a
land of gold or raw materials, but n
nation which lives and will continue
to live by the work of her hands. We
are, therefore, only able to pay our
debts with our products, our mental
and manual labor. This we honestly
purpose to do"
at is to be hoped" said DR.. Rath-
enau in discussing Americas part in
the upbuilding of Europe, chat the
mighty nation beyond the Atlantic
with which we hope peace will forever
unite US as it has since yesterday, and
whose sword when laid in the balance
is equally as decisive as it's pen, will
realize that conditions in Europe can
not be corrected if a factor of such
giant dimensions as the United States
withholds it's collaboration"

now whether Premier Bonomi can carry

Hope Is expressed on all sides that in
dustrial conditions will be improved
under the new administration and that
public works, such as railroad and canal
construction, can be begun to give en-
ployment to the many thousands of
idle men. But as Premier Bonomi is
determined not to print any more fiat
money or increase national expendi-
lures 1t remains to be seen what means
he will find Of putting the projected
reforms into effect.
New customs duties went into effect
July l that are SO high as to constitute
q protective tariff for all industries
and prevent the importation of many
kinds of goods. Owing to the reduction
IN the volume of imports that has fol-
lowed it is not believed that the in
creased revenue from customs will be
sufficient to cover the cost of needed
reforms.
Statistics for the first quarter of the
year show large reduction in the vol
ume of both exports and imports, and
the outlook is not regarded by shipping
men as promising.
AS Giolitti's foreign policy was the
cause of his downfall. pronouncement
IN this field by Bonomi is now antic.

The bill was taken up on motion Of
Senator McCumher, chairman of the

1t is the expectation the bill will

votes IN the negative. Whether the
House will pass it this session is UNI
certain. The Senate bill carried no
provisions for raising the revenue to
pay the cash bonus. House leaders are
known to be disposed to make pro-
visions for the revenue.
After the Senate had voted to take
up the bonus bill, owing to the lateness
or the hour. no progress was made in
the actual consideration of it. Senator
McCumoer will speak on it probably

Fight Assailed as Barbarous
Head of Spanish Academy
Writes on Dempsey Victory

MADRID. July 5.--The President of
the Spanish Academy, Jose Ortega
Munilla, gives his views in the news
paper A B c on the Dempsey Carpen-
tier fight.
1.-THE victory of Dempsey over Car
pentier," he writes, Constitutes the
elimination of triumphant brutality.
The second of July, 1921, will be IA
nous in the annals of barbarity.
"Two men sell their health and dig
nifty to curious multitude which pays
them to destroy themselves with
punches" continues Senior Munilla.
They do not fight because they hate.
Salaried combatants represent the
most infamous prostitution. Those
who speculate thereon represent the
vilest lusts, while those attending
represent the stupidest cruelties.
"The notable publicity given to this
seems to indicate an intention to ex-
port similar spectacles to Europe. We
lack just that"

Although details were said not to have

known to-day that it will be necessary
to abandon a number of military posts,

One of the most important com
