PLAN FOR GOLD BANK

First Committee of Experts Mott

By the Associated Press.

BERLIN. February 8. Definite
German bank of issue on a gold basis
have been formulated and submitted
to DR.. Schacht, head of the reichs-
bank, by the first committee of ex-
perts which is studying the German
currency situation. The projected
bank will exchange its own notes
against those of the rentenbank and
the reichsbank.
The committee will inform the rep
aration commission that in its opin-
ion the plan it's proposes should be
put into prompt operation. The men,
bers Of the committee will have
further conference with DR.. Schacht
in Paris on the 18th instant.
No public announcement regarding
the fundamental principles on which
will be made until the entire project
has been canvassed with the repa-
ration commission and given final
consideration by the German officials.
pr. Schacht, however, already has
informed the experts that. in his

tion of the currency and balancing
the budget. He also informed the
committee that the transitory gold
bank he has under advisement will
be so arranged as to facilitate its,
absorption by the bank of issue pro-
posed By the experts.
DR.. Schachts plans contemplate the
early establishment of a gold bank
whose primary function is to consist
in facilitating the extension of cred

trade and commerce., by which he

bilizing the franc. Sitter taxes would
save the situation but as the prospect
of these goes glimmering 1t becomes
daily more likely that Ramsay Mac
donalds overtures for a general peace
conference will meet with favor here.
Even though, the past few weeks
have enlightened the French enor-

in the Immediate future, and the I'M
preston grows that Frances rap:e-

sonable attitude toward any pro-
posed new settlement than hereto
fore. IL is hardly likely that any
conference can be called before the
committees of experts are ready with
their reports, which may be a matter of
months.
The writer has it from qualified
observers who have been following
the work of the committees at Ber-
lin that in the experts view Germany's
finances are on the verge of another
crisis. The rentcn mark, although
it has stood firm hitherto, and now
is quoted above par, is held to be
established on an unsound basis and
in danger of sudden collapse. 1t is
this situation, the correspondent is
informed, that has given the COM
mittees the most serious misgivings
thus far, and prevented more rapid
progress.

RESTORE FREE RAIL
TRAFFIC AT COLOGNE
French, British and Belgians Per
nit Train Movements as Be.
!. fore Ruhr Occupation.
Ey the Associated Press.


PARIS, February 9.-An agreement
between the French railway administra-
ton and the British authorities in the
Cologne zone, by which the normal cir
culation of railroad traffic in the Co.
logne area, which has been interrupted
since the Ruhr occupation, will be re-
sumed, was reached this afternoon at
Coblenz, according to official informa-
ton.
The accord arrived at by the Brit
ish, Belgian and French Rhineiand high
commissioners, is on the basis of the
agreement between the French authori-
ties and the reich railways, which was
signed at Mayence on December IA.
The Cologne railways remain under
German direction, but the Franco-Bel-
Eian railway administration enjoys the
right to send all its trains through the
British zone. thus restoring the condi-
tionS existing before the occupation of
the Ruhr. The British authorities, it
is stated here, have given guarantees
for the security and safety Of traffic In
case of strikes. Technical commissions
of British, French and German experts
will meet Monday at Mayence to work
out the details of the plan.
The greatest satisfaction is expressed
in French official circles at the settle
ment of this question and it is en-
phasized that the agreement was the
result Of q spirit Of friendly conciliation
on both sides.
With the thorny question of the
Cologne right-of-way settled and the
Palatinate problem well on the road to
solution, French official circles feel that
Franco British relations are assuming
an excellent posture that will assist in
.disposing Of the paramount issues upon
which a general European settlement
depends.

B. Diamond tonight was found guilty
of murder in the first degree in con-
nection with the killing of William

bank messengers, in a Brooklyn ele-
waited station last November. The
trial started yesterday. The jury had
deliberated fifty-nine minutes.
Diamond received the verdict with
the typical gangster indifference, but
his real emotion was betrayed when
the clerk Of the court asked the ques-
tions customary after a defendants
fate has been made known. Despite
his obvious effort to appear uncon-
cerned, Diamond answered haltingly.
When Justice Cropsey began his
charge to the jury Diamond lslumped
in his seat. folded his arms and set
his face in an expressionless stare.
No shadow crossed his face when the
court, concluding, said to the jury:
Gentlemen, you do not send the de-
fendant to his death il you find him

Justice Cropsey instructed the jury
that il was not necessary for a man

Russia Likely to Repudiate

Concessions Agreed to Before Reds Realized Britain,

Russia has been driving the sharpest
possible bargain, playing on Italy
and Great Britain against each
other. The Russians long ago let 1t
be known that the first nation to
recognize the soviets would receive
the choicest economic concessions.
Taken by Surprise.
The writer is informed that Pre-
mier Mussolini had this clearly in
mind when negotiating the Russian
treaty, but was convinced British
recognition would be delayed several
weeks, hence he insisted on certain
clauses highly favorable to Italy.

port of the Italian ambassador in
London, Marquis Della Torretta. who
assured him English recognition was
not imminent
After the news had arrived that
Prime Minister Macdonald had recog-
nized the soviet government political
circles here became nervous. The
Italian foreign office sent couriers to
Jordansky's hotel early Sunday morn
ing, the day on which the treaty
should have been signed. Jordansky
blandly kept them waiting. and then
informed them he had received con-
trary instructions from Moscow. It
is reported here the Russians feel
Mussolini had them by the throat.
but they accepted his harsh terms in
order to stimulate English recogni-
ton. Then, having succeeded in
London, they were prepared to wrig-
gle out of the Rome agreement.
The clause which especially an
noyed the Russians was that giving
the lowest tariffs not only to goods
of Italian manufacture, but to goods
made in foreign countries and re-
exported by Italian merchants to
Russia. Italian politicians are buzzing
with speculations and suspicious.
Some figure that italian shipping on
the Black sea will be elbowed out

revision of the treaty terms. A
diplomatic storm is expected to burst
