owen BANK PLAN

German Bankers Consider
Proposal for Foreign Fed
eraI Reserve Bank.
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, March S.-The plan of Sell
ator Robert l.. Owen of Oklahoma for
the establishment OF an American fed
eral reserve foreign bank has been care
fully considered by German bankers,
financierS and industrial leaders, who
admit an interest in the suggestion, but
naVe generally reserved expressions of
opinion as to its practicab!ity. Senator
owen, who has been making "A tour of
Europe TO determine the attitude Of con-
tinental statesmen and business men
toward his proposal, has advocated the
establishment of a banking institution.
with capital of SJ00,000,0o0 gold to
supply Europe with a gold basis for ::
medium of exchange for internationa,
and domestic business.
OF Real Interest to Germany.
Senator Owen's proposal can be of
real interest to GERMANY said Herbert
Gutmann, director Of the Dresden Bank.
only if it is recommended by the Genoa
conference or if later, an intelligent
workable plan for German reparations
and Obligations is clearly defined. so

those nations This will result in pric,

a new economic convulsion.
Mission Partly Fulfilled.
"As a further result the competitiv-
ability of weak countries Will be de-
stroyed. 1t should further be re,
mem bered that already "a number oil
powerful American banks fully un-
derstand the economic necessity of
facilitating German purchases hy
opening reimbursabie credits. This
method of American banking is al
ready partly fulfilling the mission of
the proposed bank.
THE new bank. however. would do
valuable service in establishing
Germany's economic poise through
rediscounting bills Of exchange, ad-
vancing loans on various German Sc
curities in the United States and
guaranteeing long credits for raw
materials. which later may be turned
into finished products
