EUROPEAN CRISES
IN 1881 REVIEWED
German Collapse and Eng
lands Abandonment of
Gold Lead Troubles.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

PARIS, December 26.-Two major
calamities overlook Europe in 1881
the threatened bankruptcy of Ger
many and Englands desertion of the
gold standard. The effects were felt
so keenly in the United States that
President Hoover, reversing the policy
followed since the war of aloofness
from European affairs, took series Of
steps which have virtually committed
America to a more complete participa-
ton in international politics than per-
haps even Woodrow Wilson contem-
plated
Germany's collapse was due to over
capitalization. Foreign banks, particu-
larly American and British, had for 10
years poured hundreds of millions of
dollars annually into Germany. in the
form OF loans for both public and pri
vate purposes. These gigantic sums of
money were used for building factories,
purchasing elaborate industrial ma
chinery, executing costly public works.
In the course of 10 years Germany,
which the war had reduced to worm
out machine, became the worlds most
efficient industrial nation, and it's peo-
pie had been outfitted with the most
complete and modern equipment for
enjoying a prosperity that promised to
be limitless.
All this was paid for with money
borrowed abroad, money subscribed by
millions Of bondholders who eagerly
snapped up the paper offered them by
international bankers.
Crisis Strikes Quickly.
Then came the economic crisis Fac
tories closed. doles had to be paid to
the unemployed taxation was INSULT
cient to pay government expenses
Money had to be borrowed on short
time, at ruinous rates, to meet interest
on bonds and other overhead charges
These loans, in turn, could not be paid
at maturity. DR.. Schacht, ex-governor
of the Reichsbank, informed American
bankers that Germany must default.
The bankers told President Hoover that
it might help If Germany were relieved
from reparations payments for a time
the money due to the allies could be
used to meet the bankers loans.
President Hoover sent Secretaries
Mellon and Stimson to Paris to debate
the matter with the French govern

market. The trend is toward the de-
velopment of larger markets outside of
the United States in order to help solve
the surplus production.
The dislocation of foreign exchanges
has contributed to a large extent
toward the delay in worldwide recov-
cry. The hope is expressed here that
adjustment of many European problems
during the Winter months will tend to
stabilize the foreign situation and en-
able American investors once more to
aid in the financial recovery~ of the
world.
On the whole the atmosphere is one
of hopefulness that the year of 1882 will
see the real turn in the present de-
preston. But even this is coupled with
the belief that it will take two or three
years more beyond 1882 for the healing
processes to take full effect and to
bring back anything like normal con-
dition.
So far as most people here are con-
cerned they would be happy if return
of confidence and a definite prospect
of recovery appeared on the horizon
during 1892. So what is more desired
is the establishment of public con-
fldence, the lack of which for the mo-
ment at least Is playing greatest havoc
with the credit situation throughout
the world Nineteen hundred and
thirty-two therefore, will be the turn
ing point in the depression.

bank LAW CASE IS
UNDER ADJUSTMENT
Supreme Court Hears Argument
on Authority to Collect
Double Liability

The North Dakota supreme court
Monday took under advisement the
question Of whether the recent legis-
lature took from the state bank re-
ceiver the authority to collect double
liability from stockholders of closed
banks.
Oral argumen nts We're heard
BY the higher court this afternoon in
the case brought by L. S. Baird, state
receiver, in an effort to collect double
liability from H. A. Borcherding, New
England, one of five stockholders in
the Farmers and Mechants State
Bank of New England which closed
September Is.
Borcherding refused to pay the dou-
BILE amount of stock liability claiming
the banking code enacted by the 1881
legislature took from the state re-
celver the power to collect such a liza
bility. Baird brought the action in
Burleigh county district court where
Judge Thomas H. Pugh held in favor
OF Borcherding and ruled the receiver
was Shorn by the legislature of the
power to collect the double liability.
Pugh held, however, stockholders of
closed banks are still liable for double
the amount Of their stock, but collec-
ton could only be enforced by credi-
tors for the benefit of ALL"
Baird appealed to the supreme
court and his counsel argued before
the higher court that it was not the
intent of the legislature to take this
power from the receiver and that the
wording of the law resulted from in
advertence. Borcherding's counsel
denied this, contending the legislature
expressly intended to take the author
ity from the receiver.
