we would swamp our markets with for
elgn products to the detriment of do
mestic producers. Bankers from other
sections are inclined to the opinion
that Europe's debts to us are just debts
and they should be paid to the last
cent if America is not to be shackled
with great burden. Then there are
those who say that to relieve Europe
of her debts to us would only release
more funds for the continuation Of
great military establishments and the
promotion of warlike enterprises. In
some quarters it is thought that the
final consensus of the convention will
be compromise, favoring concessions
in accordance with the use to which
American loans were put. That is, a
remission of those debts where the
funds were consumed in mutual
prosecution Of the war. Such COM
promise, however, would demand the
payment Of debts where the money was
spent for improvements to the debtor
nations.

in the country. 1t is the Congress Of
Business. And the interplay Of ideas
at the convention must of necessity
| represent the essence of the economic
thought of the nation as to how the
domestic and foreign trade of the
United States may be bettered
Regarding the plans of the conven-
ton, Thomas B. McAdams, president of
the Merchants National Bank, Rich
mond, Va, said:
Fundamentally, we are in sound
nnanclal position and can look forward
to increasing prosperity in commerce
and industry, provided carelessness and
seifishness are not allowed to under
nine the stability of our citizenship.
"Two outstanding problems perplex
us--industrial controversy and unrest
at nome and international financial diff
tlcultles abroad. In the solution of
these questions the banker has dis
tlnct community position and obliga-
ton as counselor and adviser to the
millions of people who have confidence
In his Judgment, integrity and patriot
ISM. 10 these problems the American
BANKERS Association in convention will
ADDRESS itself with unmistable vigor."
>, One OF the outstanding features of
the bankers meetings will be the dis
cussion of the inter-Allied debts. The
whole question has been so complex
and so involved in political considera-
lions that it has been handled gingerly
by our government and the debtor ma
tions, The problem has been surround
e dby haze of fear and international
Jockeying. Loose thinking and loose
talking by politicians and citizens have
served to introduce fresh complications.
The Parmentier mission from France
recently came to Washington to dis
cuss the debt situation, and went home
again without any announcement of it's
accomplishments or non-accomplish-
ments.
The whole problem has been some
. thing of "touch-not" in international
