that German bonds have suffered
marketwise prior to each Of the i'm
portant debt conferences held in re-
cent years, thereafter showing sharp
recovery In price.
With respect to the German repatri-
aticn OF dollar bonds. Mr.. Byf1eld says
that while some of such repurchases
have resulted from exchanges against
other foreign securities, from blocked
foreign balances, from inheritances
receivable by German citizens or as a
result of ordinary sinking fund opera
tions, the great bulk has resulted from
repatriation un6er the system Of sup
Elementary exports. He feels that so
far as the owner of German bonds
Is concerned the beneficial effect Of
repatriation far outweighs any small
drains on Germany's exchange re-
serves, providing as 1t has, a better
market for their issues than might
otherwise have been enjoyed.
U. S. Stake Is Largest.
American investors hold more long
term German bonds than investors in
any other country, Mr.. Byfleld says,
while the United States is the only
country which sells more goods to
Germany than 1t buys from her. In
spite OF this, he says, arrangements
have been in force since July i,
1888, whereby the scrip received by
Dutch and Swiss holders of German
bonds was cashed at 100 per cent of
face value instead Of at approximately
SO per cent, as in the case Of the
scrip received by Americans.
"Ostensibly, these privileges were
granted by the Germans in return
for acceptance by these countries of
additional exports from the Reich.
but the hands Of the Germans in
making these arrangements were
obviously forced by circumstances and
the threat Of clearings. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that the Forthcoming
conference will witness complete har-
mony among the creditors, for the
arbitrary enforcement of claims
against Germany by means Of clear
ings' would be a particularly per-
nicious form of economic warfare"
Referring to the possibility of Ger
mans improving her capacity to pay
her debts, Mr.. Byfield says In con-
nection with the boycott:
IF Germany had as studiously cul-
tivated world sympathy for her eco
nomic difficulties as she has built up
resistance, she might even obtain
much-needed credits for the impor-
tation of raw materials, which would
Immediately relieve her foreign ex-
change position. With public opinion
in it's present condition, however, it
would be difficult, If not impossible
to consummate financing of this kind"

be a valuable aid in selling have dis
covered that indiscriminate soliciting
of business by telephone does not pay.
Telephone selling Is most effective
when preceded by printed advertising
that give the prospect general idea
of the proposition. The telephone Is
then used to answer special questions
and settle final details.
An Eastern department store Is
using the telephone to dispose of small
lots of leftover goods, too small in
quantity to be generally advertised.
Departments handling goods that can
be bought over the telephone are
equipped with printed cards which
the customer may sign and request
telephone notification of any special
bargains in leftover goods. In this
way cash customers as well as charge
customers have the opportunity to
pick up the extra good values.

BIC TASK FACED
ON REICH DEBTS
Foreign Bond Associates
Chief Urges Administra-
ti0n to Aid Holders.

A huge task faces the representa-
tives Of the newly formed Foreign
Bondholders' Protective Council and
of the banking houses that issued
German dollar bonds who are attend
ing the current Berlin creditors con-
ference on the matter Of service on
Germany's long and medium term ex-
ternal debt, according to Robert S
Byfleld, president Of Foreign Bond
Associates, Inc, who discusses the
present German crisis in a bulletin
issued by Distributors Group, Inc,
New York City.
Because of the present situation
Mr.. Byfield believes, it will be espe-
cially important for holders of Ger
man bonds to protect their position
by keeping in close touch with de-
velopments during the next few
weeks.
Pointing out that the numerous at
tacks upon sponsors Of foreign bonds
in the United States, coupled with
the tremendous difficulties encoun-
tered in registering German scrip
with the Federal Trade Commission
have given Germany q distinct i'm
preston that Washington has nc
sympathy for the problems of bank
ers or bondholders, Mr.. Byheld
stresses the belief that a strong Sec
onding of the efforts of the Ameri-
can representatives by the admin
istration at this time would do much
to dispel this conclusion.
n.s-t. A. r-.A~ C...z
Discussing the question as te
whether Germany Is sharing in the
worldwide recovery, Mr.. Byf1eld cite;
statistics Of railway car loadings
electric power output, coal produc.
ton and steel output to indicate SUBJ
stantial improvement since 1888
There has also been a substantial i'm
provement in the German money
market, he says, and a genuine de-
| mand for domestic securities bears
further witness to the present eco
nomic revival.
On the other hand, Mr.. Byfielc
points out that the bill portfolio oi
the Reichsbank has recently been in.
creasing because of the heavy financ.
ing necessitated by the ambitious pro.
gram of public works though as yet
he says, the resources of the Reichs-
bank have not been strained.
DIR. Schacht has lost no opportun-
ity in pointing out the blackest as
poets Of Germany's foreign exchange
position, to which American holders
of dollar bonds have responded by
heavy liquidation of their holdings
1t is not mere coincidence, however
