nav the United States, nobody in Of

Rhine. But the reparations commits
sion alone can determine when those
claims against Germany shall be paid
in other words. VINO shall get the first
German payments, and the second,
and SO on. Priorities are constantly
being changed anu thus far America
has not taken advantage sf her op-
nortunity to express her viewpoint
because Of a fear that membership
on the reparations commission would
mean political disturbance in the
United States Senate.
The reparatiens commission has in
yited America to take her seat at
the table. The commission now has
gone q step further by asking the
most influential private banker in
America to sit with the commission.
ID Isl believed here that the invita-
tion is not displeasing to the Nor
Rans. and that friends Of the Ameri-
can banking house abroad may have
brought about the sending Of the In
yitation. As the situation stands
now, the Morgan Arm is in q better
position to protect Its loans and its
Investors than II 1t were outside the
doors OF the reparation commission.
The question is whether the United
States government, which lent many
times more of the American peoples
money. will forget political bugaboos
at home and go inside the door Of the
reparations commission, where the
to America has been open
for nearly three years.
