opponents OF the pending legislation profess to believe
certain interests here and abroad are determined we
never shall recover any of the money and they found
their objections In part on fears that the agreements

as matters stand there Is no possible way of compelling
our debtor to discharge these obligations Americans
most anxious that the country select what is due 1t,
have failed to present plans that give promise OF being
productive. The refunling commission would be given
the duty of making the best arrangement that can be
made to give the American claims the character OF as
sets. They possess that character in very slight degree
today.

represented by demand notes which It is futile to present
tn the makers. We shall know where we stand with
respect to these claims. Dates will be set for beginning
interests payments. Though IL be necessary to extend
credits on this account for several years, it will be worth
much to know when real money may be expected from
