IN OINTMENT OF
BANKERS.

New York.-An overwhelming senti-
ment favoring Americas abandonment
of her policy OF isolation from EurOp-
can affairs and the substitution of 4
policy which might even involve par
tial cancellation Of the allied war debts
swept through the convention Of the
American Bankers Association The
subject was broached by Thomas W.
Lamont. associate of ]. p. Morgan,
whose plea In behalf of American "un-
selfIshness" turned the convention in
to an uproar US the 10000 delegates
representing 1900 banks in the United
States voiced their approval.
The movement gained momentum
when Mr.. Lannon'S plea WAS echoed
by Thomas b. McAdams. president of
the bankers national organization /;
Myron 7. Herrick. United States am
bassador to France, and other n"tion-
ally known figures.
Financial leaders who asserted that
until recently Justification of the debt
cancellation had brought only pro
tests from small and large bankers
throughout the country, expressed
great. surprise ut the changed attitude
evidenced to-day. A year ago. they
pointed out. Il proposal similar to that
cautiously advanced by Mr.. Lamont
was emphatically turned down by the
association.
Formal action on the question OF
European debts to this country or the
formation OF definite program OF
new loans and trade contracts is not
expected of this convention, however
Leaders declare they are satisfied
with the evidence that bankers of the
country are amennble to Americas
more active participation in foreign
financial sterilization and will depend
upon the early development of pub
lie opinion which will justify the ad
ministrntion in making overtures II
the foreign nations concerning the
possibility of basis for readjusted
settlement.
