NOTES WRITTEN
RECENTLY, SAYS
GERMAN
u. S. Contends That Lemon
Juice Message Was Writ
ten in Mexico in 1917

German liability for $40,000,-
600 in damage claims growing
out of the Black Tom and Kings
land IN. j. munitions explosions
hinged today on the dates when
four important documents were
written.
In closing his argument before
the German-American Claims
Commission, DR.. Wilhelm Tan
nenberg, the German agent, con-
ceded the genuineness of the
authorship of these four docu-
ments. He sought to prove, how
ever, that they were written a
few years ago rather than in
1917.
Rely on Hermann Code
The written evidence on which
the United States places its main
reliance to prove that German
agents caused the two blasts Is
the coded Frederick Hermann
message. Tannenberg said:
1--WE admit that Hermann
prepared this message, but the
evidence shows cOncluSively that
it was written in 1880 or 1881"
The American Government
claims the message was written
in Mexico City in the spring Of
1917. 1t was prepared with lemon
juice to make it invisible. AS an
extra precaution, numerical
code was used in referring to all
the persons and places mentioned.
Pin pricks on various pages of the
fiction magazine containing the
handwriting furnished the key to
the numerals.
Message Found In 1881
DR.. Tannenberg asserted:
at is unreasonable to believe
that the recipient of this mes
sage, after bringing out the
writing by the use of a hot iron,
would have left it in a garret
at his home at a time when he
was under surveillance by Amer
lean Department of Justice
agents."
The message was unearthed in
1881 by Paul Hilken. who declared
he had come across it during a
search at his former home in Bal
timore.

FOREIGN BOND
PROBE REVEALS
SHADY DEALING
Banks Even Scorned Advice
of Own Experts; Quiz
Resumes Wednesday.

BIZ scripps-Hopard Netospopcr Alliance
WASHINGTON, Jan. l8.--Sen-
ator Hiram johnson Rep., CALI,
sponsor of the foreign loans inquiry,
today studied testimony already
taken, to prepare for framing legis-
lation which he hopes will cure
some Of the evils disclosed The
investigation resumes Wednesday.
Although bankers and govern
ment officials hope for some sort of
regulation Of foreign issues, they
feel the cure might be worse than
the disease. Formal approval by an
official or private board, in their
opinion, might be construed by in
vestors as evidence the issues we're
sound.
The investigation has wandered
far afield from the original purpose
to show whether international
bankers" were seeking reduction or
cancellation of public debts, but it
has thrown light on events hitherto
hidden. 1t has revealed that the in
vesting public holds the bag" for
Sl0,000,000 worth OF foreign in
vestments. A decade of such trans
actions has netted the issuing
houses and participants an esti-
mated $600,0O0,00O or more.
Disregarded Warnings
1t also has disclosed that Amer
lean bankers repeatedly disregard
ed warnings issued against certain
foreign loans by Frank B. Kellogg,
former secretary of state; S. Parker
Gilbert, former reparations agent,
and the department of commerce.
Some financiers even diregarded
adverse reports on South American
issues by their own experts, and
made the loans in the face of cor
rect predictions the bonds soon
would be in default
1t is estimated that depreciation
and default of foreign issues has
cost the American investor about
$4,000, 100000.
Payments of large fees to obtain
the bond business of various coun-
tries have been shown, including
a S415,000 commission to Juan
Leguia, son of the deposed presi-
dent of Peru. In South America
there was keen rivalry for bond is
sues, with lavish entertainment by
bankers representatives At one
time, agents for twenty-nine Amer
lean financial houses struggled for
one country's business.
Highways in Desert
Although the bankers insisted it
was physically impossible" to see
that the loans went for productive
purposes, it was testified that much
of the money was used to build
highways in desert"
The bankers deny they seek re-
duction or cancellation of debts be-
tween nations, but they believe
some priority" should be given to
the private loans they have floated.
One f1nancier said payment of the
private obligations was a sacred
thing, but payment of public debts
was a matter of political expedi-
ency."
Despite ten-year supervision Of
all foreign loans, the testimony has
shown that the government adopted
almost the same attitude as the
bankers. The state department adj
mittedly made no effort to pass on
the business merits" of the loans,
and turned down only two for rea-
sons of state.
