exchange transfers cannot be made

In the bank until the sum OF 2.000,-
100000 gold marks has been

committee may invest the accumu-
lations in Germany until a total
of 5000, 900, 900 gold marks has been
reached, and after that payments
by the German government may be
reduced to simply equal the
amounts actually transferred out
of the country. The committee has
intended to be practical, not to at.
tempt to compel the impossible.
| "One-half Of the so-called stand
ard payment of 2,500, 100000 gold
marks is to be provided from the
regular budget by taxation; the
other half 1t is proposed to raise

100000, 900 gold marks by a tax
on Transportation similar TO our
own. The two bond Issues aggre.
gate 10000, 000, 900 gold marks and
are to pay per cent interest and /
per, cent for amortization.
Defect in Plan.
"One of the obvious defects Of
the plan Is that it does not deter
mine how many years the payments
shall rum, but this is not the fault
of the committee, for it was re.
quested to simply pass upon the
ability of Germany to pay and
recommend. a plan for accomplish
ing currency reform and affecting
the payments. It is to be noted.
however, that the payments upon
the bond issues will constitute ap-
proximately 40, per cent Of the SO!
called standard payment, and these
bonds will be extinguished by
amortization in about thirty-seven
years. That portion Of the obliga-
tons, therefore, has definite limit.
THE effect Of the payments Is
that we have Great Britain in every
market Of the world bidding for ex.
change on the United States in or
der to make them. The amount OF
exchange on the United States is
limited; it Is Just the amount Gre
ated by sales to the United States
and demands for 1t from govern.
ments for the purpose Of paying
debts compete with demands from
buyers who are wanting to buy our
products. The effect Of this com
petition Is to raise the rates Of
exchange on the United States In
all the markets Of the. world.
1.-The fundamental trouble with
this indebtedness as with the repa
rations is that it is great alb
normal factor in international rela
lions, disturbing normal trade and
throwing 1t out Of balance.
II never have advocated q sweep
ing cancellation Of these debts:
am not advocating 1t now; but an
bound to say that it seems to me
the situation requires more general
and careful attention than 1t has
received.
1.-THE opinion Is frequently ex'
pressed that the people Of this coun'
try never will listen to any sugRes'
tions for the reduction or modifi'
cation of the Indebtedness, but We
have already modified the interest
rate in the case of the British
debt. The people Of France have
been thought to be even more un.
yielding in their insistance Of full
reparations from Germany. A prac'
tical people will do what appears to
be for the best under existing condi'

Population Increase and Farm Land

NTATlSTICIANS have estimated
that the population of the United
~ States, by its natural increase
alone and without any addition
from immigration, will amount to l5O,-
100000 people shortly after 1850. If
there Is any large immigration in the
next quarter Of a century the $50 OOO,-
100 mark may be reached even earlier.
Economists in the Department of Agri-
culture have attempted to estimate
roughly what crop and pasture and
forest land will be required to SUP.
port such a population.
They calculate that If consumptIon
remains on the same per capita basis
ana production per acre is not in
creased considerably more land will be
needed than is available. This conclu-
sion, however, need cause no alarm.
because consumption habits will GER
tainly undergo some change, and the
average yield per acre Of crop and pas
lure land will undoubtedly be in
creased. Assuming that some modia-
cations will be made in consumption
habits and production methods, 1t Is

War savings stamps, dated

Immediately after his arrest his

was said that two bogus stamps
were found there and that seven
were taken from his person.
According to Harper, the plot
was confined exclusively to cities
having large Italian populations
and that illiterate members Of that
race were used as dupes OF the
plot leaders. Two persons, whose
