DAWES EXPERTS FACE
GERMAN BANK ISSUE
Reorganization of Currency on
Gold Basis Vital Problem
Before Committee
BY EDGAR ANsELL MOwRER.

By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1924.
BERLIN, February 2.-Nine-tenths
of the problems of contemporary Ger
many involve German industry. The
former German state was founded on
two pillars big business and the
hereditary agrarian nobility. De-
struction of the privileges and pres
in full control.
Today the only thing which sepa-
rates the plan of DR.. Hjalmar Schacht.
president Of the Reichsbank, for q
gold bank from the idea Of the
Dawes Investigating committees is
the claim of industry to the right to
draw upon the bank for credits as
during the past years they have
drawn upon the Reichsbank.
Only Currency Rank.
The committee considers that such
bank should be only a currency
bank. A compromise over this es-
sentially technical problem should

the taking Of the present half billion
gold marks in the reichsbank and, by
an internal loan, and perhaps the
mobilizing of gold ornaments. jew
them to billion. He also Would
raise another half billion by foreign
dollar credits. On this billion and
half he would issue four and a half
billions Of paper money, recalling all
the fantastic currencies now in cir
culation.
British bankers are prepared to fur
nish their share of the foreign loan,
but believe that the bank should be
situated in foreign country. at Zu--
L. 1T
would be beyond reach of eager.
twitching fingers, whether. German or
foreign.
But again the vicious circle of Ger
man problems spins into view. The
gold bank can operate only if the
German budget is balanced. The gov
eminent estimate for 1924, as embod-
led in the memorandum given the ex-
perts, contemplates new taxes and
includes an appropriate sum for oc-
but nothing for reparations. and con-
cludes with deficit Of half billion
marks.
Presents New Factor.
Here a new factor enters. The
German railroads and posts, which
hitherto have been an integral part
of the governmental administration,
business basis. The reason is again
the industrialists, who have furnished
material to the railroads for which
the railroads cannot pay.
A mortgage upon the German gov
eminent itself is not feasible, so the
railways must be>reorganized to give
handhold to the industrialists. The
writer believes this will complicate
the situation, since the railroads are
considered by competent observers as
the chief source of reparations pay
ments from which, through loans, the
French can obtain immediate cash
payment and the German Industrial
lists be compensated for future de-
liveries in kind to France and Bel
GUM.

Meaning of Ferry.
From the New York Sun.

The original meaning of the verb
to ferry Is conveyed by the couplet
In an early English poem, which de-
scribes how the king, gone accounting
among his faithful subjects, was
kant bi the heles, feryed out by the
feet"
In those days the verb to ferry
meant to carry, or as in the cited case
of the king. to drag out.
The use OF the noun ferry as q boat
or vessel for carrying passengers or
goods across body Of water was an
afterthought.
The. application is quite logical.
Ferrying is carrying. only that it Is
now restricted to carrying over q
body of water. BY the same token IL
would be extremely difficult to ferry"
a king out by the heels.

Of the replacement of bonds which
may mature during the life of the

Bankers have hesitated to COM
ment on this new form Of guarantee,
but they admit that 1t may have q
far-reaching effect on the field of in
vestment banking.
1t is understood that plans have
been discussed by the surety COM
panies to extend the guarantee to
entire issues offered the public by
corporations. but no definite action
has been taken on that phase Of the
matter.

cred by Dr. Frank NJ. Phillips of the
federal bureau of education and now
published by the bureau. This was
an increase of S72,2S7 over the total
for 1920, the gain being about 20 per
cent. Colored pupils numbered 1871,
or a gain of $500 over the year 1920.
Teachers totalled 1860, an increase
of 5000 in two years. This is APP

Steadily since 1909 the proportion Of

the contradiction existing between the

Reverting to the Georgian affair, the
foreign commissar declares that the
Soviet government need not fear such
stage-like revolts, for it has on its
side the strong support of an over
whelming majority of the Georgian
people. Indeed, whereas in the mind
of the authors, the "putsch" in Georg

Soviet power, as a matter of fact il
only showed the latter's strength and
the failure of the so-called League Of

The irreconcilably hostile actions
and utterances Of Secretary Hughes
