MAKE WALL ST.
The SHYL0CK or
Reich WORKERS
British, French Hoist
Job on u. S..

LONDON, Oct. 10. - It is now
probable that an international COM
mittee of bankers will be formed,
which will draw up a plan for the
settlement of war debts and German
separations, in such a way as to
make Germany the pawnbroker for
all of Europe, with the chief Gus
toner the United States.
This is apparent to many observ-
0rs as result of the conferences
between S. Parker Gilbert, agent
general for PREPARATION payments;
Prime Minister Baldwin, Winston
Churchill and representatives of the
British treasury and foreign office,
which took place here last night.
In spite of the protest of the
United States government, it is evil
dent that the British-French plan is
70 foist their debts to the United
States upon German industry, which
is now in critical situation with a
lockout involving a million workers
IN the horizon. Their plan is to sell
the German railway and industrial
securities, created by the Dawes
plan, to American bankers, and
credit the returns realized on this
sale, to German Preparations. By
Granting this money to the United
Z States on account of British and
French war debts, these govern
rents hope to avoid paying their
febts.
1 Both the British and the French
| governments have declared that they
frfH pay no more to the United
'tates than what they get from Ger
many. The new plan, which Incl
! aentally was reported to be a part
| IF the Franco-British naval pact,
you'd force the United States to be-
some the shylock of German indus
try.
4 Many students of the situation see
IN this maneuver a clever move on
The part of Britain and France, to
mike the United States government
ollect their debts and Preparations
Or them. In view of the friendly
rend of the relations between the
Iashington and Berlin governments,
e opinion is stated, that the new
arrangement might be satisfactory

the Nestris disaster said:
I'm the peculiar circumstances il is
inevitable that there should be an
American inquiry. The Vestris was
engaged in the American coastal
trade. sailing under American regu-
lations. But as she was a British
ship. we think. in the interests of
both justice and the British Mercan-
tile Marine. there should also be an
inquiry under the British board Of
trade.
1.-The fair fame Of British shipping
cannot be left in foreign hands and
the case of the Titantic showed that
an American court Of inquiry does
not follow lines acceptable to this

say that as serious charges have
