Th; “ind 3gp“; The period before and aftsr the

‘War of the Revolution in the United States witnessed a similar performance on the part of government securities.

The French people had loaned large aumfto the Americana. The United States were using a depreciated palpar currency. which had ‘iltrlsfgoid value, ln' payment of tbels debts. Holders of American Government Bonda Ilrongly protested this action.

In 1785, M. Otto, Charge d'Affa.irea of Francs, wrote to John I-Iay. than Secretary for Foreign. Affsirs:—

Those lonna represented the labor. the wstchlnga Ind fortunes of s great number of individuals wh'o ha coma to the awlstsncs of the United" Stiles" in" most tbmlpqltuous times. Ancient com-mp cl-l houses in France

looses sustained ‘by his subjects." . _ w, _ ' John Adams. United States Commissioner 1o France. supported the contention that the use of depreciated W951‘ money to wipe out debts was inequitable. ‘On July 11th, 1789, he wrote to Robert Morris thst:-— '

"Every hesitation, every uncertainty about paying or receiving a just debt diminishes that sense of moral obligation of public justice which ought to be kept pure lri ~evcry American‘ mind. (Creditors have n11 inalienable right so be satisfied, and that by the fundamental prin- ciples of society. Can there ever be industry or decency without it‘! To talk of a sponge to wipe out 11 debt or reducing or diminishing it below its real value. 1n 11 countrywould betray a total ignorance of the first prin~ olpiea of nationalfififty and interest."

The whole question had become of national impor~ tanao. Alexander Hamilton's conception of financial in- tegrity and the sanctity of public obligations of a mone- tary nature is well set forth in an extract from his report sa Secretary of the Treasury. in 1789., Every breach of the public engagements. he wrote. whether from choice or nocelbty, is in different degrees hurtful ‘to public credit.

And a. year later. General George Washington. Presi- dent of the United States, in his address to Congress. January 8th, I790, said:-—

“I ealw with peculiar pies-sure at tlia close of the last lesaion the resolhtion entered into by you expressive of your opinion that an adequate. provision for the sup- port of the public credit is .s matter of high Importance In this sentiment I concur." _ .

Boon after, the American Government made en equitable disbursement 1o the holders of its bonds.

Those who had purchased these securities when they 11ml been selling abstraction of their gold value when lSEIIBQ-—-IIIILIII bu! pronounced them worthlesn—mude fortunes.

Franc; French Government securities passed through a similar experience at the time of the wax

‘ with Prussia.

VIn 1870, declaration of war against Prussia caused a heavy fmii in quotations for French Government securi- ties. 1n spite of the fact that France went through the heaviest strain of war financing known up to‘ that time. besides the revolution once more creating 11. rewu-blic. and two funding operations which reduced the interest rites to 8%, the payment of a wsr indemnity to Germany. proof of the resilience of a great nation is found in the fact that these bonds steadily recovered in price until they reached their maximum prioe of 105.25 'ln I897.

Thousands of investors, in Frame and out. of it, who had purchased her government securities when they were selling at 7% of their normal value were thus made oom- p._ vely wealthy. ' condugjon The exiperiences of England. thefllnlted States and France, undoubtedly prove that thegresfest fortunes were made -by those who, ln the Mme of the most pronouncediinenclal and political dark- ness, ponoeclsed enough grit and enterprise to enter the markets as purchasers of govern-meat securities when they want begging for buyers.

The plan is therefore s. virtual first 'lien on all Germany property and indtmtry. .

The ability of these last-montlonedl countries to pay their war‘ debts la indisputably conceded. To those who cry that Germany can never pay reparations and resume interest payments and redemption proceedings on her internal securities, we make this answer:

Gernrmny has only one-quarter the werdebtlof Eng- land to pay. We believe she can shoulder both-burdens at the name time. Moreover, we confidently expect that.

o - Germany's Potentzal Prosperztyl

Germany's pnten-tisl wealth is common knowledge. We shall not. therefore. burden the prospective purchaser of her Government's bonds with figures enumerating her mines. factories. shipping tonnage and the like. Instead, we append the opinions of four famous Americans whose symposium on Germany today appeared in a recent issue of the Berliner Tngoblntt: -

lifellnn, Secretary of the Treasury, said in part:-

“‘ One of the first effects of the Dawes Plan has br-n the growth of a new mental attitude and outlook on the part of the ‘people of Germany and of sll Europe. A new spirit of unity and a sincere desire for peaceful and amicable adjustment is apparent. The people are lh-lnking in terms of co-opers-tlon rather than conflict; pence is indlspe sable as a condition precedent to econo- mical progress §pon the German people themselves. The actual burden of reparations is not so great or so dis- heartening na theuneertalnty under which they have labored. . _ .

"Already. a certain sense of relief and something of ‘the old-time industrial vigor and thrift are pervading your country. and there exists a, Wholesome air of con~ fldsnce that your obligations samba met and the country restored to its pro-war greatness." -

Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. President University, in his contribution. said:-

"Thers is no animosity in this country. and 1 doubt

‘ whether ‘thora in any animosity in any other country to- wards the new constructive spirit which is manifesting itself in the German States and which will. we hope. establish itself for a long time to come in ‘control ofthe ln-tsrnali pollolsa and the foreign relations of the German

o. le. v -

p. p" We regard the so-calied Dawes Plsn as intelligent. businesslike and practical. We look forward to its fair and jun administration and to the steady rehabilitation of German industry and commerce. It is inconceivable that the German people, with their amusing contr don to the ‘world's scholarship. the world's‘ literature. the world's edenoe. the worldfa art and the world's economic life. should not resume ‘s leading place among civilized undone, as soon as the liberal oplrit displaces and puts underfoot the remnants of militaristic autocrscy."
