BRITISH BANKS
FROWN ON IDEA
OF MORATORIUM
Temporary Loans Sug.
gested at Continued Con-
ference With Rathehau.

LONDON Dec. 1-Dr. walther
Rathenau today continued his con-
ferences with the British inanciers
and business men. discussing plans
for the rehabilitation of Germany
and the eventual payment of the
debt. 1t is stated that there is
every reason to believe that the
British bankers do not look with
favor on the moratorium idea but
are willing to help Germany by
means of short loans in paying the
January and February installments
and then later to work out a COM
prehensive scheme for restoring
German finance and trade.
All of this. however, is condi-
tional on German home reorganization
and the scrapping of the mark
printing presses. 1t involves also
the reorganization Of Russia. in which
it is hoped that France. Great
Britain and Germany and even the
United States will participate.
The bankers desire to have a
definite plan ready which Prime
Minister Lloyd George can discuss
with President Harding when he
goes to Washington. 1t will be
necessary to secure French con-
sent and for this purpose every
effort will be made to induce
Premier BRAND to consent to a
meeting with Lloyd George early
next week.
There was no formal cabinet
meeting today. but there was a
conference at 10 Downing street,
attended by nearly all the mem
bers at which the German situa-
ton was exhaustively discussed.
Mr.. .Krassin, the Russian trade en-
voy, has not yet been summoned
to Downing street, but it is ex-
pected that he will go there to-
morrow after which it Is said that
the prime minister will receive DR..
Rathenau prior to his departure
for Berlin. There has been a re-
markable rise in the value of the
mark on the London market. Yes
terday the rate dropped from 1850
to the pound to $50 and today it
dropped to 710.

LIGHTSHIP SAFE
AT HER STATION

BOSTON, Dec. 1.-Alrs we'll with
the famous lightship and her officers
and crew, it was learned today when
the cruiser Cleveland arrived at the
Charlestown navy yard and reported
having seen her on her station off
Nantucket.
The hghtship had been reported
missing since the big storm a few days
ago, and her failure to answer radio

the disablement Of her wireless ap-
paratus. The lighthouse tender Azalia
