Germany Is bankrupt. That was the
admission virtually made to-day by
Chancellor Wirth to the correspondents
of foreign newspapers, when he said
that the 100000 marks gold paid to-
day on account of private pre-war debt
claims was the last payment the coun-

II Is a terrible thing to stand at the

transferred to-day had come from the

provide bread for the people through
Federal grain purchases.
Herr Wirth said that taxes no longer
could be turned into enough gold 20

reparations schedule.

BRITISH BANKERS FEAR
EUROPE'S WORST PANIC
Say Violent Action by France
Would Precipitate 1t.

Special Gable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.

London. Aug. 10.
The decision not to call the French
Parliament in special session caused
great relief in London. There Is no
disposition to minimize the gravity with
which separate action by France against
Germany. irrespective of the decision or
the Reparations Commission, would be
regarded here. One official cognizant
of the Governments attitude told THE
NEW York HERALD correspondent that
1t would be regarded practically as a
hostile act, definitely rupturing the En-
tente
Important financial interests here and
responsible bankers have informed ~the
Government that violent action by
France would precipitate the worst
financial panic Europe has ever known.
and the Government has considered this
warning. Had the French Parliament
been summoned Premier Lloyd George
would Immediately have replied by sum-
moning the British Parliament for an
emergency session.
1t is still too early to say that the
crisis has passed. Should the Repara-
tions Commission make possible sep
arate action by France against Ger
many and should that action be taken
the situation would be extremely grave.
The decision not to call the French
Parliament In special session is taken
as evidence of moderate action until
matters are Strengthened out.
Another slump in the mark has fur
ther alarmed British financial circles
and created n difficult money situation

who bought marks as high as 500 to

sion, possibly with American partci-
patton of sore sort.
Tonight. however, 1t looks as though
only the decision by VI. Dubois to offer
his resignation can hold up the matter.
and his colleagues openly profess that
this Is probable. as he does not relish
having to cast two votes In order to
obey the mandate OF the French
Premier.
Isolated action In the occupied zones.
according to French experts, would be
perfectly feasible and likely to produce
more than any interference In Ger
many's industrial AREA beyond the
Rhine. In the first place, inasmuch as
the bridgeheads are under the supreme
command OF the French general staff
save In the Coblenz area where on
purely disciplinary matters Gen. Henry
T. Allen may contrcl--any protest
against French action on the part of the
Allies would become an issue for the
High Rhineland commission TO settle.
In this commission the American
vote does not count. and as Belgium
and France are united on Rhineland
questions. NJ. Poincare has little TO fear
from British opposition. 1t would be
merely a question of issuing an order
to confiscate all customs receipts leav-
ing the British to do as they wished.
but turning all proceeds into the Golfers
of the Preparations Commission for the
benefit OF all allied claimants.
But 1t is significant that NJ. Poincare,
while trying to save the Entente from
absolute collapse does not wish to take
this action unless the Repara tions Com
mission turns down flatly the French
moratorium program.
! The French delagate, however, will be
expected to demand that Germany pay
reparations as provided in the present
schedule, and IL 50,000,000 marks gold
monthly instalment are not forthcoming
before the end of the month that the
Reparations Commission proclaim Ger
many in default. thereby enabling France
TO take individual action IL the Allies
do not agree TO work with her.
THE NEW YonK HERALD correspondent
was informed tonight, however, that the
Reparations Commission. which is OK
pected to meet tomorrow, would not be
willing TO go to any such extreme.

HARRELD ADMITS INTEREST
IN MOVE TO RAISE OIL RA TIE

Senator Harreld asked the duty on oil
on the ground that monopoly. said to
control oil production in foreign coun-
tries, chiefly Mexico, should be sup
pressed. Senator Heflin (Dem,, Ala.)
demanded whether Senator Harreld was
IN the oil business.
MY profit by this tax would be In
significant" Senator Harreld said, "as
compared with the profits that the pub
lie generally would have and would re-
ceive My profit would be absolutely
insignificant"
Senator Heflin challenged his right to
vote on the resolution, and this was re-
enforced by Senator Harrison.
IF Senator Is vitality interested In
wool" Senator Harrison said, "and that
is his particular business. that is what
he makes his money out OF and he is
called here TO vote upon proposition
that will place money in his pockets, for
my part, if were that Senator would
refrain from voting on that amend
ment"
