year were $377.0O0. 900. decline Of
ii per cent from 1926.
The drop in German borrowing
probably was the result of a letter
written to the Government by s..
Parker Gilbert. agent general for
reparations, who urged greater
economy in public expenditure and
fewer loan flotations by public
bodies.
Ninety-two per cent OF the 1927
borrowing represented long-terin
loans, rs per cent Of which went to
private enterprises for the upbuild-
ing OF German industry. There was

heavier than in 1926.
