Delay of Ten Years
For Germany Urged
BY Dutch Banker
Admits Proposal Would Not
Solve Reparations Prob
lem, but Believes 1t Would
Help Economic Situation

Postponcmcnt for ten years Of the
final settlement of reparations obliga J.
tions by Germany. giving the German
government an opportunity to make
both ends meet, was proposed yester-
day by William Wcstcrman, pres ident
Of the Rotterdumschc Bankverecniging
Of Holland. in an address at Il luncheon
given in his honor at the Bankers Club
by the Netherlands Chamber Of Com
mcrce in New York. Mr.. Wcstcrman
admitted that this suggestion did not
provide a solution of current nterna
tional difficulties, but contendcd that it
would help.
"rhcrc never can be stabilizaton
of exchange as long as the question of
the rcparation to be paid by Germany
Gohts arc not settled" said Mr.. Wcstcr-
man. "This will for the greater part
depend upon the attitude Of tho United
States. 1T is quite clear that payment
by all parties concerned is an impossl
hility, and we have seen how even par
tial payments made by Germany have
brought further disaster.
81 firmly believe that all such meas
urcs as have been proposed by Mr.
Nandcrlip and Senator Hitchcock, or
even the Tcrmculcn scheme, can be
waived. The sound countries Of Europe
will then Gin the event Of reparations
postponcmcnD certainly be able to get
credits in tho ordinary way. Even now
we SEQ how English banks, and even a
few American Institutions arc granting
Credits either fircctI,, or indircctlv II,
favor Of such countries, and a further
Development along economic lines will
bring also your country into close
touch with Europc.'
Mr.. Wcstcrmnn. commenting upon
the Dutch East Indies dollar loan sold
in this country, urged investments by
Americans in guildcrs.

Standardization of Specifications and
Tests for Road Materials Are

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture)
The committee ON tests of the Ameri-
can Society of State Highway Officials
met with the officials of the bureau of
public roads of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, In Washing
ton, to consider Standardization of
specifications and tests for road mate
rials. The purpose of this meeting
of representatives from all sections
of the country was not SO much to lay
down rigid rules as to harmonize the
general practice. standardization talk
ing into account local conditions is
being brought about by series of
meetings between officials from groups
of states and engineers of the bureau.
The present activity of highway off
cials along this line Is most encour-
aging for road building. A few years
ago the general tendency was toward
individuality in eacn state, without
much opportunity for exchange of
ideas and knowledge. Today the ten
dency Is in the other direction. and
better solution should he reached
when the problems are discussed at
meetings of the best highway engi-
neerlng talent Of the country.

In the shipment Of surplus war ma
terials transferred to them by the bu-
reau of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, state high
way departments will be saved great
deal of expense as q result of ruling
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion permitting the shipment of this
material as Contractors equipment,
thereby giving 1t the advantage of a
low rate.
The railroads previously required
the states to pay less-than-carload
rates on the various items included in
such shipments, even when together
they made up carload. The conten
tion of the bureau is that since the
; bulk of this material has been used
and none of it is new, and since it is
all intended for use in road conStruc
tion, 1t should be given the advantage
of the low rate allowed to contractors

ROAD SAFETY LAWS FAVORED
Highway Accidents Could Be Greatly
Decreased by Requiring Mirror
on Trucks.

Accidents on the highways, accord
ing to NJ. V. Eldridge, road director OF
the American Automobile association,
could be greatly decreased by the pas
sage of uniform state laws requiring
every truck to carry Il mirror giving II
view of the road to the rear and by
requiring every horse-drawn vehicle to
display some sort of light when using
the roads at night.
Mr.. Eldridge states that II states
and the District of Columbia have
laws requiring the mirror on trucks,
hut that few have any regulation for
horse drawn vehicles. The states re-
quiring mirrors are Vermont, Wash
ington, California, Connecticut, New
York, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri and
New Jersey.

Rare Find in EnaIish Church.

After three centuries of conceal
ment behind plaster and rubbish. the
remains of a Fourteenth century
stained-glass window have been dis
coved at Chelsea (EnglanD Old
church. The old glass, which is of
immense value, was found between lay
ers of soft plaster behind a mass Of
old bricks. In one window only Il frag-
ment of border was found but in the
other panel two feet by two was
brought to light. The panel is nearly
complete, the head of the tigure-ap-
parently that of st. Lawrence or St.
Stephen-s missing. The glass seems
to be of date not later than the mid
die of the Fourteenth century. With
the exception Of Westminster abbey,
there is no London church with its
own glass Of so early date.
