on larger political considerations.
They originate in the agreements
made at Lausanne about a year
ago. It will be recalled that by the
Lausanne convention, signed on
July 9, 1882, reparations as such
were Cancelled, but Germany agreed
under certain circumstances to
make contribution to her cred
itors.
She was to deposit bonds for
about $750,000,00O, but these bonds
were not to pay interest for at
least three years. The bonds we're
not to be issued, however, until and
unless other German government
securities are on a per cent basis
or better. (They are now on a 10
per cent basis or worse.)
Now the point to be noted is that
this agreement reduced Germany's
capital liability to a little less than
10 per cent of her liability under
the Young plan.
The payment made by Great
Britain on Thursday is little less
than 10 per cent of what was due.
This is not a coincidence.
1t must next be recalled that a
week before the Lausanne conven-
ton was signed, Great Britain,
and the other creditors of
Germany entered into a gentle
mems agreement" which provided
that they would not ratify the con-
vention with Germany until they
had made satisfactory debt settle
mentS with one another, and with
the United States.
They said further that if the
agreement with Germany we're not
ratified "the legal position, as be-
tween all the governments, would
revert to that which existed before
the Hoover moratorium In other
words, legally, Germany would be
liable for the payment stipulated in
the Young plan.
VXTHEN Herr Won Papen, who
w represented Germany at
learned of this gentle
mans agreement, he put ques-
ton publicly to Mr.. Macdonald,
the British premier, asking him
what would happen if the Lau-
same agreement were not ratified.
The reply was that in that
event "a further conference will
be held" Now, as result the
position today is this: The Lau-
same convention has not been
ratified and will not be ratified
until Britain, France and the other
creditors of Germany obtain a
final war debt settlement
If they do not obtain it, either
by agreement or default, they have
to have another reparations con-
ference with Germany.
These, in brief, are those wide
spread political consequences of a
most serious character which the
British note refers to without dis
sent by the President. 1t may be
asked why the British could not
have made their payment and
washed their hands of German
The answer is, first, that they
nave agreed not to do it; and, Sec
ond, that it would make matters
worse if they did it. For then
Lausanne still would remain I'M
ratified by France and direct |
conflict over reparations between
France and Germany would be far
more dangerous to peace then ne
gotiations in what Great Britain
still was a participant and able to
exert a moderating influence on
Doth sides.

craftsmanship.

OKLAHOMA CITY. August ia
new pastime, target practice, has found
its way into the dayby-day routine of
Charles r. Urschel and his close as
sociateS.
The possibility Of an attempt at re-
priSal by friends of men they have
helped to arrest and charge with the
kidnapping of the Oklahoma Oil Million
eire has brought about this attention
to Workmanship.
Armed With Pistols.
Urschel and others close to him sell
dom are without pistols.
We've frightened up our shooting
eyes" said one friend Of UrSchel. Il
don't expect any trouble of this sort,
but II it CO.: I'll try mighty hard
to get in ono nck myself"
When at their desks, trying to pick
up the threads of large oil business
executives for nearly q month, pistols
are laid handy beneath sheet of
paper. in a top drawer or elsewhere
within instant reach.
The change from good fellows of
carefree habits, where chief previous
experience with arms was an occasional
hunting trip over the mountains and
prairies of the Southwest, to Stern-faceo
men who are ready to shoot to kill if
necessary has come since Urschel was
freed July 81 after payment of ran
som reported to have totaled 100000.
Cautioned by Agents.
Federal Department of Justice agents
have not tried to lull the oil mems mis-
givings with optimistic talk.
The agents have frankly discussed
possible danger and ways to prevent
harm If reprisals are attempted. In
addition to being armed, Urschel Is ac-
companied by an alert young guard at
all times.
Associates of the oil man are con-
vinced they are opposing desperate
killers and are determined to 20
through the various stages of capture
and conviction of Urschel's kidnapers
to the end.
