A German Moratorium.


Two years ago this month President
| Hoover. primarily as prop for Ger
manys tottering financial structure
brought about his famous one-year
moratorium on intergovernmental debts
Last Tuesday, on almost the sec
ond anniversary of that historic trans
action. American bankers addressed a
forcible remonstrance to the German
Reichsbank against the stoppage on
July l of interest payments on the
ReichS bonded debt under a gold
transfer moratorium proclaimed on
June by Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, presi-
dent of the bank who was recently in
conference at Washington with Presi-
dent Roosevelt. About one billion
dollars of long-term German bonds are
outstanding in this country, and the
moratorium means that the American
investors who hold them will be de-
prived Indefinitely of their maturing
interest on them.
The protesting bankers. through
whom these German securities were
issued in the United States, do not
mince words in assailing the Reichs-
banks action. 1t is pilloried as pre-
cipitate, drastic and arbitrary" and
unjustified by conditions in Germany,
as exemplified by her intention to re-
nav in full, when due here on July /,
the S45,000, 900 credit, already reduced
from sso, 600, 900. extended to the Reich
Gold Discount Bank. This credit Is
owed to a group of New York banks.
The moratorium is protested on the
further ground that Germany plans
maintenance of interest payments on
non-commercial short-term debts ana
large-scale repurchases Of German
bonds in the market for German
account.
Under all these circumstances, 1t Is
considered palpable injustice to thou
sands cf American holders of long
term German commercial, municipal
and state bonds to impose upon such
creditors, without their consent, sacri-
fees far beyond what the facts war
rant, and whereby even the terms OF
their bonds are sought to be changed
so that payment in marks to the
Reichsbank will discharge a contract
to pay dollars to the bondholders." Ger
many is finally warned that such a
policy cannot but do lasting injury to
the public and private credit Of the
Reich"
AS a parting shot, the American
bankers remind Germany that last year,
when she contended successfully that
imposed reparations must be abolished
in order to permit her to pay her freely
contracted private debts, the world
generally accepted that argument as
sincere.
Sound as the American bankers pro-
test is in letter and spirit, it must be
observed, in all candor, that the Ger
mans seem but to be keeping step with
the march of default and reputation
now in worldwide progress. European
debtors of the United States deliber-
ately fail to meet their contractual OBJ
legations The American Government
itself, for reasons not dissimilar from
those now actuating the German
Reichsbank's d-husbanding policy,
has by act Of Congress annulled the
gold clause in United States bonds, even
to the point of cancelng such rights In
the case Of foreign bondholders.
It seems to be the season when peo-
pie who live in glass houses must be
careful about throwing stones.

Inc JuOCd CeIltIdl &c ShLn-
mos Highway Commission0,
- in the hope Of obUating
some of the accidents and
fatalities on the roads, which are COM
ing to be almost Of daily occurrence,
have decided to publicize by means Of
posters and illustrated pamphlets bet
ter understanding of the exact gestures
and positions of the hand to be used
by motorist when he is signaling to
other drivers.
We understand the system Is the
same as used in the United States, and
gathered recently in washington to con-
slider better methods and devices in
traffic control. The propaganda to be
distributed locally will include pictures
showing clearly the exact position OF
the hands as extended from the car
window for the communication Of the
signals "Alto!" ("Stop!"): This is IL
Illustrated by the left hand pointing to
the ground, with fingers closed, except
index finger, which points vertically to
the ground. "Vuelta a Ia izquierda"
cleft turno: Left hand extended
through window horizontally. "Vuelta
la derecha" cRight turn'J: Left arm
bent at right angle, and with extended
index finger pointing upward "Passe!"
eco ahead!'): Invitation from slowly
moving or stationary car for another
car to pass. This signal is made by
moving the left hand, with fingers ex-
tended in circular clockwise motion
from left to right.
All these signs will be competently
and repeatedly demonstrated during the
approaching week, which will be devoted
to more precise education of our mo-
torists in regard to these and all other
matters pertaining to safe and courteous
driving. Unless the comprehension of
such maneuvers is unanimous, they are
more likely to cause accidents than to
avert them.
