Letter
BY RODNEY
NEA Service Writer


Observation-Disclosures the only
audible note Of criticism Of the
Hoover war debt moratorium
proposal has been twanged on the
theory that 1t was being made ~
the behest or and primarily for
the benefit OF those old bogies. the
international bankers. because Of
huge American private investments
In Germany.
From France came the seeming
" cynical explanation that Hoo
YER had acted to protect IN Amer
lean stake Of nearly $1,000 900 900
In Germany and during the recent
negotiations at Paris Ii was more
than once suggested that Hoover
dared not let the Mellon-Laval
parleys fail and SO endangeT those
private leans.
Factors I'm Proposal
There Is 4 tacit general view
here, however, that the private
American investment lis only one
OF several important factors which
the president took into consider
alton. 1t does appear, on the basis
OF both surface facts and private
adm ssions, that Hoover would not
have called for the moratorium
certainly not SO S00n-had II not
appeared that the 81. 600, 000.0 0 in
vestment was in peril But II Ger
many had crashed economically
and politically not only might that
stake have gone blooey. The whole
system OF debt payments-theoreti-
cally worth many more billions to
people-would have gone down
as well, the worlds depression
would have been intensified. Ger
many might have gone bolshevik
and the worlds credit system would
have taken an awful wallOp. These
ether considerations, even in the
number OF dollars involved. seem 10
outweigh the three billions we have
~ into Germany.
The suggestion that the interna-
.snal bankers stand 10 benefit most
ISN'T get very far because Amer
lean investors rather than finan-
ciers are the mes who would be
holding the bag on German loans.
Some of the New York banks doubt
less hold German bonds In quanti-
ties, but the bonds r scattered
over the country.
American Investments
American investments in Ger
many include 81 500, 0O0, goo to
81 600, 000. 900 in German bonds,
about $l.000,000 900 in German
stocks, industries and merchandise
advances and perhaps $500. 900 900
In short term credits fluctuates
widely; a Wall Street rumor not
long ago said they had recently run
a pot $1,000. 600. 900, which presum-
ably was an exaggeration. A large
scale withdrawal Of these loans BY
British and American bankers was
a factor in the crisis which existed
when Hoover made his announce
ment.
Theoretically We have another
$1,000 200. 900 coming to this coun-
try from Germany. for that Is what
cur European debtors are scheduled
to pay us under existing debt fund
ing agreements and under the
Young plan they are supposed to
get that much and more from Ger
many.
Nevertheless. the American pri-
vate investment In Germany Is 10
times as large as the sum OF $780,
100000 IN debt payments which the
United States will foreg0 this year
and the future OF reparations-debt
payments has become highly specu-
lative.
