American interests it would leopard
ize our foreign trade. since other
countries cannot permanently buy
from us unless they are permitted to
SELL" They warned congress that the
high rates proposed would plainly
invite other nations to compete with
us in raising further barriers to
trade They pointed out that more
than ,000,OO0,000 had been loaned
abroad by American investors, and
argued that restrictive tariffs would
make it still more difficult for their
foreign debtors to pay them the in
terest due them" On each of these
points the 100 petitioners are now
entitled to say that events since 1880
have fully justified their predictions.
They urge the president to reduce
existing rates under the so-called
flexible" provisions of the law, and
through negotiations and confer
ence" with other nations Ito remove
unfair and discriminatory barriers"
to international trade.
BY coincidence, this petition was
timed with statement on behalf of
the German government which
forcefully illustrates one of the points
cited by the American economists.
In significant speech before the
Westphalian industrialists on Sum-
day, Chancellor Won Papen declared
that Germany's private creditors
abroad can reckon on repayment"
Of the large sums they have loaned
only if they are prepared to take
German commodities in payment,
and this presupposcs that they arc
willing to open their trade frontiers
to our goods"
The total Indebtedness owed abroad
by Germany is estimated at about
S. 900 ,000. 900. Of which more than
$4,000 100000 is owed to private in
vestors in the United States Inter
est on this Indebtedness cannot be
paid in gold, because Germany S
small reserves are near the minimum
needed to support her currency. It
| cannot be paid in paper marks, for
| foreign creditors will not take them
It cannot be paid by means of new
loans, because American investors
will no longer purchase German
bonds. The one remaining method
is payment in terms Of goods. This
does not mean that American own
ers of German securities would be
paid interest in so many clocks or SO
many yards Of textile goods. It does
mean that Germany must sell such
wares in this country on a large scale
if she is to obtain credits here which
converted into cash, will cover inter-
est charges on her debts. The Ger
man chancellor has economic logic
on his side when he says that this
cannot be done in the face Of pro-
hibitive tariffs.

$3.50 was considered a lot of money

making long speeches about cheap

White was pressing, is the fellow who
brought back the other high priced
seats for his opening night of the
"Vanities."
What's particularly interesting is
that hundreds of people seemed to
have the money.

PAUL-bONCUR
VISITS ENVOY

PARIS, Dec. z3. = Premier Jo-
seph Paul-Boncur, paying sur
prise visit to Ambassador Walter
E. Edge, urged today that the Uni
ted States make some conciliatory
gesture which he could offer to par
lament as an inducement to make
the December Is debt payment.
Upsetting diplomatic tradition,
Paul-Boncur paid the first visit any
French premier ever made to the
embassy here. He arrived at dusk,
found the elevator out of order,
and literally ran up two flights
to Edges office, where he was clo-
seted for half an hour with Edge,
Theodore Mariner and Robert
Pell.
Paul-Boncur hinted he would like
Washington to help him reach .
solution which could be presented
to parliament. He indicated the
promise of a debt conference would
be suitable solution, although he
failed to state whether he wanted
worldwide debt conference or
merely bilateral discussions between
France and the United States.
1t was understood Edge remain
ed n-commital but promised to
inform Washington of the pre-
mier's wishes. Paul Boncur's action
was a complete surprise, as it had
generally been believed he intend
ed to let the debt question drift
until Governor Roosevelt is inaug-
urated.
