1ancial Ne1vs Stocks Bonds Commodities and Com n1ent
Haney Finds Many Angles
To Debt Moratorium

portion to lower commodity prices
be a partial cancellation of debts
in terms of gold?
You see, all creditors (such as
bond hOlderS) throughout the
world are confronted by Objec-
tiOns from debtors. One of these
objections is that prices are lower
and the purchasing power of gold
money is higher than when the
debts were incurred.
Germany Has Company
Germany is not the only debtor
who feels that it is unfair 30 have
to pay the same number of dol
lars when each dollar is worth
more. Many of us are in the
same boat. But if debts are to
be scaled down, creditors are 60
ing to have some anxious mo-
ments, Such readjustment
means much disturbance.
One difficulty of which we will
probably hear more, is the mat
ter of taxation. Our Government
is one debtor which is going to
have to pay in full. ct IS oper-
ating with a large deficit0 Any
reduction in its dollar income is
apt to increase our taxes.
In the long run, almost any
thing that will stabilize European
politics and restore sound finan-
cial conditions abroad is going to
help world trade, and our busi-
ness would benefit by that. We
can afford to pay a good deal to
put Germany on a sound basis.
Only remember this is a tholny
problem. with many angles and
kick backs.
