GERMANS DRAFTING REPLY
Will Show No Intention of Evad-
ing Private Debts.
Rv the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
BERLIN. August. 3-The German
government is drafting a reply to the
French note of Tuesday which de-
manded the payment of debts to
French citizens contracted by Ger
mans before the war, it was an
nounced last night.
The reply will point out that the
German government has not an
nounced any intention of ceasing to
make payments, but merely asks for
certain facilities to do so. The reply
will also declare that if Germany de-
that fact cannot be ascertained until
after August Is. the date fixed for
payment. 1t further states that the
sanctions which the French govern
ment intends to take on August 5
cannot have legal basis.
Loan Declared Essential.
"Doctoring on symptoms is useless
and senseless," was the opinion ex-
pressed by Andrea Hermes. minister
of finance, in discussing Germany's
financial ills. He said that only by
a moratorium and an international
loan could Germany coordinate her
chaotic currency and balance her
budget ..
big stick politics are bad medi-
cine to cure economic ailments" the
minister added.
DR.. Hermes pointed out that the
crucial evil infesting present day
world politics might be said to be an
arbitrary inclination to ignore the OBJ
vious interdependence of internation-
al economic interests and failure just
ly to appraise national psychologists.
Crave Results Seen.
I'm some quarters" DR.. Hermes
continued, sit is believed even today
that a country of such economic i'm
portance as Germany has been during
the past decade and is now, funda-
mentally, can be bled ruthlessly with
out grave international results"
The minister of finance said the op-
position forces had. done nothing to
help the Germans clarity the domes-
tic political atmosphere in such a way
that the weight of their problems
could be settled. 1t was his opinion
that had a farseeing and more toler-
ant policy been adopted results would
have been achieved beneficial to Ger
many and not injurious to her op-
ponents.
Burdens Declared Unbearable.
Burdens have been laid upon us of
q severity which is unbearable," DR..
Hermes continued. I'VE have striven
for loyal fulfillment of our obliga-
tions. We have drained the German
economic structure, which was al
ready weakened through the effects
of a lost war; sacrificed territory and
other things of the value of billions
of marks, and placed them at the dis
posal of our opponents.
Truly it has not fallen lightly upon
u.s. Yet isn't it true if one works
and keeps busy somewhere he must
eventually see light at the end Of his
path? We need air and light"
DR.. Hermes asserted that the fall In
the mark, with its ruinous effects.
was an urgent warning. 1t was his
opinion that it was impossible TO
think that efforts were being made
to drive Germany's economic stVuc-
ture into collapse, since owing to her
{ normal economic connections with
various peoples the consequences
would be incalculabla

Heated Debate,


Lausanne, Dec. 19.-"Organized
impotence" was the definition which
M. Tchitcherin, Russian foreign min
lister. gave of the League of Nations
during a heated debate between him
and Lord Curzon on. Monday in a
session devoted to discussion of plans
for the control of the Turkish straits.
'The United States, Germany and
Russia do not recognize the league"
said Tchitcherin. 1.-The league is not
even able to control a single Polish
general in Wilma. It is unable to ac-
complish anything in the Lithuanian
dispute. What good are the guaran-
tees Of such an organization
Tchitcherin declared the allied pro-
posals for the regulation Of the straits
were directed against Russia and put
premium on nava1ism and militar-
ism. ,1gass . ~,
New Suggestions.
Both M, Tchitcherin and Ismet
Pasha offered new suggestions con-
cerning control Of the straits. Ismet
was mild and accepted in principle
most Of the proposals made by the
allied powers, but Tchitcherin was
hostile and demanded that the Rus
sian proposals be considered at length
by the sub-commissionS along with the
new Turkish proposals.
Lord Curzon denied this request,
saying it was impossible to continue
the deliberations indefinitely. He as
| serted that concessions had been
made to the Russians by providing in
! the allied proposals that no feet shall
be admitted to the Black sea which
Is stronger than the strongest navy
possessed by any Black sea power.

HOLIDAY TRADING
IN LOCAL MARKET
Consolidation of Bank of North
America and Commercial
Trust Leading Event

The most interesting developing Of
the day in local financial circles was
the announcement of the consolidation
of the Bank of North America and
Commercial Trust Company. There
had been hints for some few days such
an amalgamation was under considera-
tion, but it was not believed the deal
would be consumated until after the
turn of the year.
Trading in the local stocks was OF n
pre- holiday character and devoid Of
any particular feature of interest.
Except In few shares the dealings
were of n small caliber and to n large
extent entirely perfunctory.. Price
movement, was narrow, with gains
and losses about equally divided.
What appeared to be selling to cstnb-
lish losses for income tax returns de-
pressed Lake Superior to J1s, equal to
the low price Of the year. On the other
hand. Philadelphia Electric issues con-
tinued to display the same remarkable
tirmness, with the common selling up
to 311a and the preferred to 81, the
latter within small fraction Of the
years top price.
Pennsylvania Railroad shaded under
46 on moderate selling pressure. 7.
X. II. at the same time yielded to 3Oat.
The remarks Of Mr.. Mittcn regarding
the disappointing returns of the new
Frankford Elevated apparently account
cd for the selling. The market, how
ever, continued very thing. as illus.
trated in the decline of nearly a point
in American Gas ard point recession
in Buffalo and Susuuchanna trust ccr-
;ificatcs. Despite tho strength Of tho
other coal stocks. Lchgh Navigation

mature. II undoubtedly will come along
