Wall Street Ired
By Reich Attitude
On Paying Debts
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,

NEW YORK, January 8.-Strength 8.
of German dollar bonds in the last
fortnight, at time when the Reichs-
bank has decided to permit cash pay
ment Of only 80 per cent of the in
terest, has been one of the para
doxes of the bond market.
This decision of the Reichsbank has
resulted in the extraordinary action
of the State Department in protesting
to the German government for its
action in causing further defauiting
OF cash interest due to American in
vestors.
One suggestion heard in bond quar-
ters Is that German municipalities and
corporations are again buying up their
bonds in this market for retirement
That fact that current prices for the
bonds. together with the depreciation
of the dollar. permits them to buy in
and retire these obligations for about
half, less in some cases, than the
actual amount of funds which they re-
ceived when the bonds were floated
here. has reused the ire of Wall Street
investment circles.
A recent tabulation by the Ameri-
can Council of Foreign Bondholders,
Inc, shows that the total of out
standing German dollar bonds now in
default, chiefly as result of the scrip
payment plan, now exceeds $780,
1000
What particularly annoys Wall
Street investment quarters about the
treatment accorded the, holders of the
German dollars issues are the MANY
obvious advantages which Germany
is reaping from the arrangement.
Aside from being able to buy in and
retire her bonds for a fraction Of
what was borrowed. the scheme is
arranged to promote German export
trade. The scrip, representing marks
on deposit in Germany, which cannot
be converted into dollars. is to be
made available to importers, who NAV
buy it at discount of about so per
cent, and buy German goods with it.,
thus cutting the price of German
goods in the American market about
in half.
