Mr. Coolidge is not a man to be
Burned. He takes his own time,
he travels his own gait, wher
ever he is headed. In agricul

the subject last winter. On sev

Intentions. He has discussed
5 his
plans with many persons. It
has been no closely guarded of
ficial secret that Mr. Coolidge
had the matter under advisement.
Only this week It was again re
ported from the White House that
he was ’ considering the appoint
ment of a commission to look into
agricultural conditions.
Some day, perhaps, Mr. Cool

it may be next year. Ho will not
be rushed into doing anything

mighty good advice and it is re

The security which Germany is
prepared to offer American in

ingness to live up to the Dawes
plan and her insistence on disown- i
ing responsibility for the World J
War were discussed recently by
Dr. Moritz J. Bonn, German econ
omist and financial expert.
“At the i
present moment, Dr.
Bonn said, it when preparations
for the $200,000,00 loan are going
on, two questions, only have to*
be considered: Is Germany able
to pay? And is Germany willing
to pay?
“As to Germany’s ability, the
annual charge of the loan per
head of the German population
is not quite 25 cents compared
with the $10 per head which the
Dawes report has declared Ger
many able to pay.
Bonds Well Secured.
“The loan will take priority over
the annuities pledged under the
Dawes plan, thereby giving it an
annual margin such as I believe
no other Joan has even been based
upon. As to security for capital
the par value of the German rail
roads and industrial bonds hand

mission Is $4,000,000,000, or 20
times the par value of the loan.

SIR JOHN SIMON
The man frequently referred to
as England’s loremost liberal
leader, Sir John Simon, is prom

talked of to succeed Ramsay Mac

the debtor's means and when he
is convinced that the fulfillment
of his obligation will bring about
the freedom of his country. For
a time Germany -was convinced
that the object of the settlement
was not reparation but perpetual
occupation. All that belongs to an
unfortunate and, let us hope, a
dead past. The settlement on the
line of the Dawes plan is real
cooperation. The loan itself will
be the first practical Instalment
of such co-operation.
u The Dawes plan is considered
binding in Germany because it
has been accepted by Germany
after detailed discussion con
ducted among parties striving for
agreement not dictated on the
point of the sword. We have, let
us hope, done away with coer
cive finance. It is just this side
of the question, from my point of
plan the cornerstone of a new
Europe.
