How glad he would have been to ac-

be some way to get word to the cav

Nations Revert To Barter When Rates
 Restrict Business

London, Aug. 1o-Barter, or the exchange of goods, as against the transfer of actual cash has figured in recent international loans, accord ing to the Geneva correspondent of the Observer. In this way the diff faculties of exchange have been over come.
 Rumania wanted a loan of 45.ooo,- 900 gold francs from Switzerland. d. The Swiss said it was impossible un- less they knew how the money was to be spent. Runania replied: we need to replenish railroad rolling stock, particularly engines
 Fine said the Swiss bankers, i've have these for sale. Take them, and pay for them in cereals and pe- tro1eurn. both of which you produce and we need" Thus were the ar engagements concluded.
 Similar borrowing and paying by barter also has taken place with Czecho-S1ovakia. Here, again, Czecho- Slovakia is receiving Swiss manufac- tured goods and is to pay for them with truck loads of sugar. Therefore the question of exchange and the comparative values of the Czecho- Slovakian krone and the Swiss franc does not arise.
