DR.. LUTHER FLIES
TO BASEL MEETING
Loan Rumored Agreed Upon
to Tide Reich Over for
Few Months.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BASEL. Switzerland. July 12.-Dr.
Hans Luther, president of the German
Reichsbank, arrived from Berlin by air.
plane this afternoon and went immedi-
atelv to a meeting of the world bank
directors, who had been waiting for him
For a man who has been through the
strenuous period he has undergone, ne
was surprisingly vigorous and robust.
but he wore an anxious expression as
he entered the bank and was greeted
bv the Others, including Gates w. Nc
Garrah, the president
The directors meeting had been suS-
pended 80 minutes earlier to await
Luther's arrival. All routine business
had been disposed of,
As the full directorate resumed Its
conference on Germanys situation 1t
was understood that the big questlon
before II was whether Germanys con-
dition had yet got beyond the posi-
hilitv of relief through normal banking
efforts.
Directors Meet Privately.
The directors met privately and IN
the absence of any eXa. lnlorIlaVloil
about what was~ going on numerous
rumors circulated around the oanK
headquarters. i.
one of the rumors was that the d.
rectors might grant short.term creoiV
for period of months Sufnclent 10 keep
GERMANY afloat until political arrange
ments could be concluded satisfactory
both to France and Germany.
II was believed that the crux OF the
situation depended upon Franco-Ger-
man relations and that the conditlons
imposed by France would be brought up
by DR.. Luther before the banks OIL
rectors. :. -
In addition to the necessity OF OBJ
tanning quick substantial credit Tor the
Reich. an agreement upon the metnoo
nv which France will deposit the guar
antee fund of 50O,0o0,000 marks taoout
$40 900 OO0) for loans to other repara-
tion receivers who are affected py tne
suspension of German payments unoer
the Hoover moratorium, presented
grave problem.
Two Issues in Background.
The ghosts of two veXing political
questions lowered in the background.
They were Germanys second vest
pocket" battleship Ersatz Lothmgen
and her plan for customs union with
Austria.
No one can say definitely that France
has demanded Germany abandon these
projects as the price of financial as
sistance. but there are many IN IN
formed circles who believe tnat tneSe
factors are ulaying a big role in Ger
manv's search for economic salvation.
McGarrah conferred with the gov
errors of the central banks yesterday
regarding the German crisis. They
were understood to have reviewed pos
sible measures to meet her needs, out
none would comment.

of the money to finance the manufac-
ture of ornaments
For Germany at this time to accept
and live up to a stipulation against
building more armament is decidedly
not new or exacting requirement. No
doubt, opposition political leaders in
Germany may take advantage of the
imposed condition to embarrsss the
German government, but that is no new
thing in any country
Some further conditions mentioned as
likely to be demanded of Germany by
France do not make as general an ap-
peal to reason, particularly in America,
as the two mentioned above.

ARMS FARLEY DATE
TO Be DISCUSSED
Stimson, Brand and Hender.
son to Confer Today on
Conference Problem.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, July 13.-The ACCESSIBILITY Of
maintaining next February as the date
fixed for the General Disarmament
Conference was expected today to be
discussed by Foreign Minister BRAND,
Secretary of State Stimson and Foreign
Secretary Henderson of Great Britain.
A foreign Office spokesman, questioned
regarding a report from Rome that
France will ask for postponement to
June, said France would take no initia-
tive leading to postponement. but would
see no inconvenience in adjournment.
1t was the official view that the
political situation in Europe has been
changed since February was fixed for
the conference.
Beginning with the move toward an
Austro- German economic union. polit-
ical developments in Germany have
brought another period in European
politics. If this continues the question
is raised by France whether disarma-
ment conference in February would
lead to profitable results.
The French disarmament memo
randum passed on by the last cabinet
minister, however. was expected to be
handed to the British foreign secre-
tary, as president of the disarmament
conference, next Wednesday.

Mills Issues Statement.
The German situation was attracting
considerable attention in official circles.

officially said this Government could
not take action. Direct responsibility
of caring for Germany's plight was
placed on Europe by Mills. who said the
problems involved were fundamentally

From his camp at Rapidan, in the
Blue Ridge Mountains, President Hoo
yer kept in close contact with the situa i
ton as it was reported in Washington.
Upon his arrival today in the Capital
he was expected to give much atten-

There was considerable speculation as
to whether the Federal Reserve Board
would be in a position to assist in any
way Indications were that it would
follow the general trend Of the Govern
ment's policy as outlined by Castle,
despite its being an agency independent
of the Chief Executive.

Inclined to Credit Block.


When the bank finally was thrown
overheard. with the government itself
assuming to guarantee its deposits, the
financial leaders seemed more inclined
to enter a national credit block, where
by they would stand Or fall together.
/ BY this time. however, the m rning
papers had gone to press and it would
! Rave been impossible to reach the
breakfast tables with the decree.
Although it was known that the
Danat Bank had been involved in the
crash of the Nordwolle concern in Bre-
men, one of Germany's 'argeSt wocl-
combing and worsted-spinning firms, no
one dreamed it would be forced to
close its doors.
Established in 1879, it paid dividend
of per cent in 1880 and dividends of
IL per cent in previous years. It en-
picyed more than 1000 people IN all
its branches and was considered a
financial rock. 1t was reported to lave
lost about $12 100000 in the NordWolle
collapse.
Bruening's government appealed to
the German people to keep their heads
in this time of financial distress and
not TO make things worse by losing con-
, f1ience in the fatherland.
President Hoover's moratorium plan
afforded a great relief to our economic
situation proclamation issued in the
name of the government asserted. "A
large sum which Germany was entitled
to claim to retain could by virtue OF
that plan, be restored to the banks.
THE weeks during which the struggle
in connection with this plan has gone
on have. however. done enormous dam
age to private business. Millions loaned
to Germany from abroad have been
withdrawn because of the uncertainty
of the situation
Even today complete tranquility has
not been restored.
