THREE PROPOSALS
TO HELP GERMANY

Of 100000, 900 recently granted to the
Reichsbank under the auspices Of the
Bank for International Settlements be
renewed at maturity for q period of
three months.
Second, that concerted measures
should be taken by the financial insti-
tutionS in the several countries with a
view TO maintaining the volume Of
credits they already have extended to
Germany.
Third. that the Bank for Interna-
tional Settlements should be invited to
set up without delay committee of
representatives nominated by the Gov
errors of the Central Banks interested
to inquire into the immediate further
credit needs of Germany and to study
the possibilities of converting a portion
Of the short-term credits into long
term.
Joint Guarantee Noted.
1.-THE conference noted with interest
q communication from DIR. Bruening
relative to the joint guarantee recently
placed by German industry at the dis
posal Of the gold discount bank.
THE conference Is OF the opinion
that q guarantee of this description
should make 1t possible to provide a
sound basis for resumption of the
normal operations Of international
credit.
1.-THE conference considers that II
these measures are carried through
they will form a basis for more per
manent action to follow"
The communicate was signed by
Ramsay Macdonald as president Of the
conference.

|" The French attitude, II was known
authofitatively. largely prevented the
conference from being able to work out
means Of long term credits to Germany.
The French were absolutely unwilling
to participate in such loan without
political and drastic financial guaran-
tees.
The British and the Americans were
unwilling to share in the exaction OF
such political and financial conditions.
and also were unwilling to make O large
long-term loan without French aid, and
so less tangible measures Of relief we're
decided upon.
The spirit of amiability was said by
the conferees to prevail throughout the
negotiations, which were likened to
those Of creditor bankers taking meas
ures to save from bankruptcy brother
banker In financial straits.
Under the caption "A Lost Oppor-
tunity" the Times said today there
will be general disappointment at the
meager achievements OF the conference.
Prom the outset" the paper de-
clared. the conference was precluded
from graphing with the fundamental
factors responsible for the crisis in
Germany. So long as the United States
declined to discuss war debts and
France declined to discuss reparationS
1t was clear no real progress could be
made toward permanent settlement Of
the economic problem of Germany"
The Times admitted the decision to
maintain Germanys existing foreign
credits was of great Importance, but
asked, what of the future?
For q moment" the newspaper con-
tinued, France and the United States
have succeeded in evading the real
issues, but they cannot be evaded much
longer. 1t Is useless to deny the urgent
necessity of finding more permanent
settlement of Germany's problems"
The Daily Express said the real ques-
ton Of loan to restore Germany's
financial equilibrium was yet to be met.
IN the end" the paper continued.
1T will fall OH Great Britain and Amer
lea TO praise 1t. and a new triple al
liance-Germany. Great Britain and
America-will begin to take form"
The Daily Mails diplomatic common
tator contended that the mere holding
Of the conference was sufficient to re-
store Germany. He declared the with
drawal of gold from Germany had
ceased and that large loan no longer
was necessary.

leadership of our Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn, already have been organizing to
reassure creditors against withdrawal Of
these funds.
THE Bank Of England has been
taking similar steps to preserve the
level Of British lendings. Similar action
now promised in the conference from
all OF the other creditors will greatly
help to end the panic and give Ger
many breathing spell TO reorganize
her resources"
"Once that panic is ended it will be
easy to determine whether any further
capital Is necessary and resolutions Of
the conference provide machinery for
making the necessary investigation and
study in this matter.
we believe 1t is probable that once
confidence is restored it will be found
that Germany will be able TO recover
her equilibrium on the basis Of her
own resources and such assistance as
will readily be available. But in any
event we have provided the machinery
necessary to meet that situation how
ever 1T may develop"
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon to-
day expressed his satisfaction at the
outcome Of the conference.
Il am satisfied that the conference
has achieved results which will be most
helpful in restoring the financial Stabil-
ity of Germany" he said.
THAT stability has been shaken by
a lack Of confidence which is not justi-
fed by Germany's internal economic
situation.
German industries are we'll or
gained. and, given time and reasonably
favorable conditions, will again assert
themselves and show the inherent
strength Of Gernany's industrial arm.
In proposing a one-year extension
Of war debts and reparations. Presi-
dent Hoover has provided a necessary
breathing spell. and in carrying his
proposal into effect the creditor nations
have relieved the German budget of
heavy burdens during the period of
recuperation.
The machinery set up by the con-
ference will greatly assist the German
government in meeting its immediate
difficulties. 1t will also permit a study
as regards further capital and assist
ance which may be required for re-
Mobilization of Germany's industry"

BRITAIN'S DISCOUNT
RATE is INCREASED
Action Taken to Conserve Pound
Sterling as Result of Big
Outflow of Gold.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 23.-The bank rate
was raised today from ga and 3l2 per
cent
The increase in the bank rate was
decided upon by the directors OF the
Bank of England as protective meas
ure. made necessary because of the
outflow of gold, which during the week
ended yesterday totaled E15,2l9.704
(about $76.0000 0O).
1t was expected in some quarters that
the Bank of England would not take
action at present because Of its large
gold holdings. but unsettlement III
other quarters at the lack Of develop
ments to the extent hoped for from the
seven-power conference had caused a
sharp decline OH the exchanges on
London and created the possibility OF
further gold Withdrawals in the near
future.
The authorities took measures dur
ing the last few days TO keep the mar
ket discount rate up by buying bills,
thus hoping to make the - per cent
bank rate-which was imposed May
l4-effective. but developments in the
money market and today'S further I'M
favorable movement OF exchanges on
London apparently made the Bank of
England directors decide on the pre-
cautionary measure to check the out
flow of gold.
The stock exchange to some extent
had discounted the fall by marking
down gilt-edge issues last night and

GERMAN REACTION SKEPTICAL.
Bruening Secures Only Enough Success
to Act as Temporary Sedative.
BY FREDERICK OECHSNER.

BERLIN, July 23.-Chancellor Bruen-
ing has secured at London only enough
success to act as Sedatlve on the
German situation for a short period. Ill
which material assistance will remain
as imperative as ever.
The cautious optimism which SO FAR
has characterized the German reaction
to the International discussions was
definitely giving way today TO skep-
| ticiSm.
While conditions here remain out
Wardly under control, 1t cannot be
doubted that when Chancellor Bruen-
ing returns from London he will find
himself faced with a potentially dam
gerous political situation.
Hitler Success Forecast.
Conversations with Fascist leaders
who are close to Adolf Hitler have con-
WINGED this correspondent that the FaS
cists consider 1t will be only matter
OF a short time before the Bruening
cabinet will crash and Hitler's party will
take over the government.
Both in Germany and abroad sur
prise has been expressed because OF the
peculiarly docile tactics employed in
the present crisis by the stormy Fas-
cists. Hitler even gave tepid approval
to Bruening'3 policy i'll the crisis, while
Hugenberg urged his cohorts to behave.
There is now evidence that Hitler's
leaders have had difficulty in restrain
ing the more belligerent elements
among the NaZiS, and today Germany
is seething among the middle classes,
and it might not be difficult to fan the
heat into flame.
Chance Believed Missed.
1t has been clear all along that the
opposition leaders would give Bruening
a chance to make or break his govern
ment as a result Of the Paris and Lon
don Conferences. The average opinion
now is that he has done neither.
One thing the chancellor cannot
avoid is continuing on drastic lines his
self help" program, already instituted.
Those who have expected immediate re-
lief from the program resulting from
the present conferences will find that
the disciplinary measures are not at an
end and that Bruening has by no means
issued his last emergency decree.

GERMANS ARE GRATEFUL.

LONDON, July % (R).-Dr. julius
Curtius, Germany's foreign minister, ex-
pressed deep appreciation today for the
part which the United States played in

1T seems to me-" he said, that I

solidarity In a manner which was truly
moving and most promising for the

have been badly upset, nevertheless is
willing TO come to Berlin.
I'VE highly appreciate this decision
to visit us and We are grateful for the
promised visit of the British statesmen.
We regard it as public gesture Of
Americas readiness to stand by us in

DR.. Curtius emphasized his belief
that the first paragraph Of the official

conference is the most important, from
the German viewpoint In that 1t testi-
