patronize American ships. At is re-

heartily endorsing the plea of the

Hopes were voiced today that

vention, with the United States
represented, as suggested by the
experts, will soon be convened to
examine the financial position Of
the whole world and to recon-
mend to whom and by whom the
necessary assistance should be
given.
The board declared that victors
and yanquished In the late war
must find means of contracting
the growth in the volume OF out
standing money and government
obligations, and to defeat the con-
stant Increase in prices. They in
slated that, unless remedies like
increased production and taxation
were applied, the depreciation in
money would wipe out the savings
of the past. and lead to bank
fpDtcy and anarchy In Europe.
The Germans were pleased with
the section OF the report regarding
Germany which states that the
burden to be placed on the Ger
man nation should not be so great
as to destroy its power OF produc-
tion and declares that Germany's
