This was the outstanding subject of the deliberations. The Germans have been loudly pleading inability to meet the requirements here- tofore laid down and threatening com- plete default. British Premier Bonar Law favored lightening the burden by a reduction of the total indemnity more than fifty per cent. and on top of that granting a four years’ moratorium. But French Premier Poincare insisted there Send for the Story that Fits Your Case VERY investor has at times wondered whether his money is safe, and whether he could not make it accumulate faster..

The moral in- fluence of the United States would make itself felt profoundly. Its representatives and those of the neutral nations would be free from political bias and would aid greatly in arriving at impartial judg- ments. A conference of keen and level- headed financiers and economists would be sure to evolve a rehabilitation program which would command respect, confidence and adherence. It would be hard for any of the Allies to resist the powerful sentiment in their favor which the con- ference’s decisions would everywhere create,
