BANKERS STUDY
CAPACITY Of
GERMANY

Appointment by the Bank of
International Settlements, at
Basle, Switzerland, of a commits

question of Germany's capacity
to pay" its reparations obligations
in the opinion Of authorities here,
win see new allied alignment.
In the past. when the Dawes
ana Young plans we're under con-
sideration, Germany faced a
united allied front ON the ques-
tion Of the priority of war claims.
Nations Had Agreed
Great Britain, France, Italy,
and the United States were in
agreement that reparations pay
mentS had first call on the Ger
man treasury.
Now, international experts de
clare, Great Britain, Italy, and
the United States are in disagree
ment> with France over this view
English and American bankers
with billion and a half in short
term credits in Germany, author.
tiles say, are demanding these
private loans be given priority.
ReparatiOnS First
France, on the other hand, with
no loans at stake, is demanding
reparations continue to hold first
place.
This clash of claims, experts
declare, unquestion n ably will
strengthen the German position
at the forthcoming financial con-
ference and result in Germany
proposing a lump sum annual
payment with the allied govern
ments settling among themselves
how much should be applied to
iquidating the short term loans
and how much to reparationS.

LONDON, March 13.-Political
controversy around the question of
Indian independence underwent a
rapid change today as a result Of
a brilliant house Of commons de-
bate which Gained the threatened
storm.
Prime Minister J. Ramsay Mac
Donald and Stanley Baldwin, the
conservative leader, led the debate,
which had several important re-
suits both in the Indian question
and in connection with political
strife. The most important results
were that.
The Mahatma Gandhi probably
Will be among Indian representa-
lives who will reassemble for the
next round table conference on a
new Indian constitution.
The conference will not be held
in India but in London at date
to be set after preliminary explo-
ration work is completed in In
Ola.
The embryonic challenge Of
Winston Churchill for leadership
Of the Conservative party was
crushed.
The Conservative party was re-
united under Baldwtn's leader
ship.
Baldwin made one Of the most
brilliant speeches Of his career in
his statement on Indian policy,
fighting off the extremist challenge
of Churchill and pledging his aid
for settlement of the future of
midas governmental problem
which he said was by far the most
imperial question and the greatest
difficulty we face today"

great majority of all parties were
united in the spirit of work which

however. is Russia. But has not fear
on account of Russia almost always
been based upon fiction rather than
facts?
Credit for Uruguay.
Experience teaches that reports are
rarely to be taken at face value unless
accompanied or followed by Official de-
mails. There has been talk for the past
several days of large American credit
to Uruguay in order to enable the
national bank to stabilize the currency
which has been establishing new lows
each day. The banking house men
toned in connection with this deal has
issued denial.
However the advance in the value of
the peso by about II per cent within
the past two days tends to the belief
that some aid may be Forthcoming in
the near future. without such aid ii
is difficult to see how Uruguay can con-
ttnue to meet the service on her foreign
debt.
Moreover. 1t is not impossible that she
may emulate her neigfbor, Chile. and
deposit pesos with home institutions to
be disbursed to bondhclders after ex-
change has shown sufficient improve
ment to warrant such action.
Hungary Seeks Loan.
1t would appear that holders of Hun
garian issues pay more attention 10 sem
sational news than to actual develop
ments affecting their investments The
country is trying to obtain long term
foreign loan. and is in the meantime
resorting to various internal measures
to prevent a collapse of the economic
structure of the nation.
A decree has been passed by the gov
eminent permitting Withdrawals from
banks without limit to meet interest and
sinking funds on all outstanding loans
both external and internal In view Of
this rather significant development the
sacrifice Of Hungarian loans would seem
unnecessary.
Concerning Japan.
Although economic conditions In
Japan also have been affected by the
prevailing depression. the situation to-
day, compared with 1921. is regarded o.
somewhat more unsatisfactory by Mr.
Yasuda, one of the country's leading
economists.
According to Mr.. Yasuda, conditions
in Japan today are characterized by
three distinctly adverse factors which
did not exist in 1921 First, public
utility companies are heavily indebted
to the bankers, to say nothing of the
debts under which the agricultural dis
tricts are groaning second, the sugar
companies are in an exceedingly bad
predicament as a result of the album
dance of the last crop, and, third, rice,
one of the country's principal COM
modities. is selling today substantially
below 1921 prices.

Rejection to Be Regretted.
1t is TO be regretted that the recent
proposal to sell to Germany on credit
cotton and eventually other American
products has not been accepted. The
Federal Farm Board has turned it down
on the grounds that many conditions OF
thes German offer we're beyond the
ability of the board to comply. The
sale may, however, go through in a
somewhat modified form.
1t will be recalled that many claims
of German nationals resulting from
seizures during the war have been set
tied by the German American Mixed
Claims Commission, but not paid. An
effort viii be made to expedite such
payments Will, however in such an
event. Germany be obliged to purchase
American cotton? Is it not within the
bounds of probability that she might
turn elsewhere? One more instance OF
the damsgln results of politics inter-
fering with sound economies.
More Railroad Trouble.
To the many troubles besetting the
railroads one more has been added. The
Interstate Commerce Commission has
discovered that the Pere Marquette
Railways owes the Government sums
cess profits for the period March /
1920. to December 81, 1925. The irregu-
larity in the railroad group may, in part
at least, be attributed to the commits
sion's findings and the feeling that II
will sooner or later spread to other
carriers.
Novel Sales System.
A desire to build UP sales activities
during the slow season has led the
Graham Paige Motors Corporation tc
introduce a novel system by which the
company will participate in the COM
penSation of its statesmen.
This appears to be the flrst instance
in the industry of a motor car factory
sharing in the paying of retail sales
mems salaries and the first attempt tt
put automobile statesmen on a regular
income basis through factory dealer
organization.
According to C. w Matheson, gen.
eral sales manager. the new system Is
to prepare the company for improved
business in the Fall
Higher Wheat Seen.
Analysis of the wheat situation leads
to the belief that change for the bet
ter in the price of the commodity Is not
at all unlikely.
The world output is placed at a quar-
ter of a billion bushels below last year
In addition the carryover from last year
lis relatively small. The prevalence OF
low prices has not been conducive to
larger planting in the important wheat
producing countries, including the
United states, Argentina, Australia and
Canada.
The unknown factor in the situation,

resented attempts to infringe on what
little sovereignty was left and returned
Gen Hindenburg with an overwhelming
majority. Few men in Germany could
have filled the post with greater dignity
and satisfaction
Today the outside world is disturbed
over the demand for a referendum in
Prussia to decide whether a new diet
shall be elected next Fall or in the Spring
of 1882 This is once again a purely
domestic matter, and it seems that undue
Importance is being attached to it abroad
Even if the Nationalist Communist =
Hitherto group had scored an outstand-
ing success at yesterdays polls it is
