HOOVER BATS
HOOK TO LAND
HUGE SAILFISH
President Is Determined to
Make Fighting Catch
in Ocean.
BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD

LONG KEY, Fla, Feb. 12.-
President Hoover is determined to
land a fighting sail-f1sh even larger
than the six-footer he caught
Monday and selected the warm
waters Of the Gulf stream as the
most likely spot to find it today.
President Hoover's determination
was stimulated, perhaps. by the de-
cision of the Long Key Fishing Club
to mount his largest catch and hang
it alongside the i25-pound monster
sail-flsh caught here by Zane Grey
twelve years ago.
The Presidents first sail-fiSh,
weighing forty-f1ve pounds has been
skinned and sent to a taxidernist.
1t will be hung in the lodge unless
President Hoover hooks a larger one.
one.
President Hoover's spot today is
IN the Atlantic ocean, about six
miles east of here. The warm Gulf
stream waters there are said by
local Izaak Waltons to abound in
Sail-fiSh.
These giants, characterized by a
Sail-like group of fins arising a foot
or more from their backs, put up
the stifest fight of any game fish
around here, fishermen say. Often
three hours or more is consumed in
playing them before they, exhausted,
can be dragged into a boat.
President and Mrs. Hoover hshed
together Tuesday in a saltwater
creek eighteen miles above here
They hoped to land a number of
red snappers, mackerel and other
fish for their houseboat larder. They
caught only one mackerel, but
brought in three barracudas and
four bonitaS. The latter two species
are not table fish.

War Debts to Take Stage


of the German annuitieS are virtually
equivalent to what the allies must pay
to the United States annually, and 1t
was agreed that in case the United
States ever makes concessions two
thirds of these concessions will be
placed to the profit of Germany.
In the second place, it is understood
that If Germany ever ceases paying
the allies, even temporarily, the latter
viii similarly cease paying the United
States. The French Legislature, for
example, in ratifying the Young plan,
made a specific reservation in this
sense. This being so, France, Great
Britain and Germany all feel that If
there Is going to be any reopening
of the question the initiative must
come from the United States.
Some American bankers seem to be-
lieve it would be better to make q
careful general agreement in advance
on just what Is going to be done,
rather than to be suddenly confronted
with a situation in which Germany
abruptly ceases her reparations pay
ments and the allies cease their war
debt payments.
These bankers apparently reason
that If the huge sums now going into
reparations and debt payments could
channels it would help restore general
prosperity.
Better Gold Distribution.
Finally, there is the problem Of
better gold distribution. Normally,
capital flows to the place where It gets
the highest returns and helps keep q
general equilibrium.

HARIS.-The old problem of Ger
- man reparations and allied war
debts to the United States
4 promises soon again to take the
front Of the stage in interna-
tional affairs.
Closely linked with this problem is
that, said TO be even more important,
OF international credits and a possible
better distribution Of the worlds gold,
three-f1fthS of which Is now concen-
trated in the United States and France
to the detriment of other countries.
1t is the heads Of the great American,
British, French and German banks OF
issue who will be the principal nego-
tiators in these delicate and important
questions. The original plan was that
the heads of those banks should meet
In the United States this Fall, but for
political and other reasons this plan was
abandoned, and 1t is now presumably
around the Bank for International Set
Elements, at Basel, that the CONVERSE
tons viii center.
Not the least valuable feature of this
bank seems to be that, just as the
League Of Nations provides q convenient
meeting place for Europe,s foreign min
listers, SO the bank provides easy and
convenient meetings for the heads OF
banks on whom reposes the vast re-
sponsibility Of overseeing the operations
OF the worlds credit structure.
Harrison Has Plan.
George L. Harrison, president Of the
American Federal Reserve system, there
fore has come to Europe.
According to press reports, he himself
has plan for a moratorium on war
debts and reparations. American banks
are said to favor this plan, though the

to finding how such a move would be
received. At q meeting of the Interna-
tional Bank some three weeks ago, the
international bankers and the Germans
examined the situation thoroughly.
The latter were reminded that a
moratorium would apply only on the
conditional part of the Young annu1-
ties. Germany could cease transfers to
this amount, but would be obliged to
pay it to the special account of the
Reichsbank Just the same. Then after
one year, Germany could even cease
payments on one half of the conditional
part of the annuity. Such is Germany's
right.
1t was pointed out, however, that as
far as France is concerned, all repara-
tions are now being accepted in goods
and hence the transfer question does
not arise.
1t was also suggested that Germany
In suddenly declaring moratorium
without first reaching an agreement
with other countries would be likely to
provoke credit disturbances and trans
fer difficulties far greater than those the
moratorium would be designed to cure.
The Germans then intimated that
they would like at least to summon q
Consultative Committee to review Ger
many's capacity to pay. It was prompt
ly pointed out that such q committee
might be unfayorably impressed, for 1t
would find that the interest on the en-
tire German national debt, including
PREPARATIONS, is only 20 or as per cent of
the German budget. whereas In France
the debt absorbs IS to so per cent of the
national income and in Great Britain
SIS to so per cent
The Germans have resolved, therefore,
to put their OWE finances IN good order
before reopening the question.

bank, on his recent unofficial visit to the
United States have had many CONVEX
sations on these subjects In both Wash
ington and New York.
The essential aim Of the bankers will
be to decide whether they are in a po-
sition, through the international bank
and their own national banks, to do
ANYTHING to aid the cause Of world
peace and prosperity, which are con-
sidered closely linked together.
Brings Threats to Peace.
In Europe, and perhaps also other
parts of the world, economic suffering
usually soon brings about complications
of international politics and threats to
peace, which in turn interfere with the
normal flow of gold and thus increase
economic difficulties.
II means can be found to improve the
finances of Germany, Italy and Great
Britain, 1t is felt a long step will have
been taken toward pacifytng Europe,
which is, with the United States, the
worlds greatest market and center Of
productivity.
Whether Europe or the United States
begins to recover from the present de-
preston first is regarded as secondary.
One viii help the other in any case.
Also, It Is felt that improvement in
European conditions would react favor
ably toward Latin American and ASH
attic conditions.
Germany feels that her PREPARATIONS
burden, even as lightened by the Young
plan, is too heavy to be borne, especially
during the present economic crisis.
Germany has the right under the plan
to call for transfer moratorium when
ever she thinks It proper and to sum-
mon Consultative Committee to con-
slider II notifications should be made.
