An inspector turns to a Ger

the masthead of a newspaper
covering his possessions. The pa

is puzzled. He beckons a superior.
The second inspector has a
sharp look and wears glasses. He
fingers the papers suspiciously as

Somehow, the German gets by.

Britain, he said, cam
not cancel debts due to her unless the
United States does likewise.
Grandi precipitated the discus
sion by asking Premier Macdonald
to agree never to demand renewal
Of war debt payments by Italy. in
line with the policy he had outlined
as the ideal Of Premier Benito Mus
solini. AZ
Macdonald replied politely but
firmly that Great Britain is bound by
the Balfour declaration, which sets
forth that Britain shall ask from her
debtors only as much as she needs
to pay her own war debts. While she
has to continue payment Of her own
debts, he said. Britain cannot agree
to wiping the international slate
clean.
Then Premier Herriot came for
ward with the fat assertion that
either the United States must revise
the war debt schedules or Germany
must continue to pay reparations I'M
der the Young plan. At the same
time Germany continued to stick
tightly to it's contention that it can
no longer meet the Young plan pay
ments.
Herriot's declaration was made at
the end Of day of negotiations
which led nowhere. It was given to
the press in explanation of why
France demands safeguarding

mant on the debts, in any agreement
negotiated.
Chancellor Won Papen has proposed
that Germany pay about $60O,OOO,OOO

war guilt clause be removed from the
treaty of Versailles and that Ger
many be permitted equality Of arma-

Lausanne that Won Papen attached
to the conditions even more impOr-
lance than to fixing the amount Ger
many might be called on to pay. Her

them at all.

A general rush to buy wheat took
place, and heavy profittaking on ad

OF credit expansion measures continued
to receive chief notice as bul!!sh fac

Winnipeg reports of big purchases of
Canadian wheat for shipment overseas.
Broadening of speculative interest re-
garding grain was mainly attributed TO
constructive financial moves at Wash
