Mr.. Babson, 1--WE must remember one
thing more, there is distinct differ
ence between Germany's government
al finances and the finances of Ger

credit of Germany's government is
almost nil because of the tons of pa

deem. The banks are also in a
rather uncertain position because
their cash assets are of very uncer-
tain value. The private firms of
Germany, however, hold real prop
erty, factories, machinery, land
equipment and merchandise. Most
of them are in a sound condition be-
cause these things are of actual and
permanent value. The reorganiza-

GERMAN COLLAPSE AND
AMERICAN BUSINESS

Wellesley Hills, August 10, 1922
The German question was discussed
today by Roger w. Babson, stats.
tican, who has been entangling the
international and financial situa-
tion.
Germany has failed to meet her
obligation on the indemnity pay
ments," says Mr.. Babson, "and like
any other concern is judged bank
rupt. We face the same situation
that we find when a business can
not pay its debts. We either have
a reorganization and try to get it
back on it's feet or we call in the
referee and Judge 1t bankrupt and
sell it's assests and put it out of busi-
ness.
1.-THE world is now having a Gre
ditors' meeting to decide what Is to
be done with Germany. Up to the
present time France, the largest
creditor, has been taking the pound
of flesh. 1t is only within the past
few days that she has offered any
other proposition. Now, however,
France sees that If she will let Ger
many off that England will let
France off. 1t is understood that
French Ambassador is dealing with
the United States Government at
this time in the hope that the re-
public may be released from some of
the debts she owes to us. These
later developments are favorable in
deed, and strongly suggest that
friendly reorganization OF German
finance is possible.
eff France on the other hand
were to march an army to Berlin,
and to collect the pound Of flesh by
force, it is quite possible that this
might align Russia, Italy and even
possibly England with Germany and
bring about another war. This, of
course, would be an undesirable sit
uation from every point of view.
Such action would undoubtedly
cause a panic in our stock market,
and would seriously embarass our
big banks. 1t would upset business
generally. We would not even ex-
perience the business boom that we
had at the beginning of the last
European war. The new gases and
chemical weapons of warfare de-
veloped since 1918 can be made just
as we'll in Europe as over here.
"If, however, Germany has

ance it would mean much and boom

would clear the air and
overcome the fear of reputation |

Fitzhugh. a brilliant lawyer. Of
Memphis, who is one of the owners

his support the four most powerful
newspapers of the State. Two of
these newspapers are published by
former United States Senator Luke
Lea, who led the Old Hickory forces

brought about the armistice. II
stands to reason. that Lea will also
personally support Fitzhugh for
Senator against McKellar, who de-
