France Is Holding Key I'.cotionilr and financial condl # Hone In Germany, with particular reference to the payment ef repara tion*, and a careful criticism of the Hawes committee report on that • ubject, were high spots of an ad dress Wednesday night by Walter Uchtensteln, executive secretary of the First National bank of Chicago, to members of the council of the Nebraska Bankers’ association at Ho tel Fontenelle. The Chicago banker based his '■remise on an analysis of conditions -in Germany before the svar, stating Hint In the most favorable year, 1918, i iermuny could have had available for new Investments abroad, approxl mfftely 2,000 million gold marks. II* laid that an a result of the war. Ger many lost, of her foreign investment 17 billion gold marks out of a total • >f 20 billion. “This leates a balance of three bil lion marks on which Germany would continue to \recelve Interest from bro.id." Uchtensteln said. “Add to these three l-llllon the seven billion which the McKenna committee esll muted Germany had In foreign bal cnees abroad and foreign currency t home, and we have a total of 19 i I lion gold marks. Net Eos# 10 llUlion. fn other words, the net lues lo Ger i iniy would, therefore, be 10 billion Mirks, on which Interest at the rate i f 5 per cent would amount to 500 million marks per year. •I I,»•ducting the** 500 million marks > i.in the ",000 mllMon, which Ger i„r, ny might have been able to pay i.i her most favorabls year prior to he war, we have a balance of 1,500 million gold marks." The speaker contended that the <’t>cratlon of the L/awe# plan would iequip# an annual payment by Ger many of 2,500 million gold marks, a icqiilrement which that country could not meet. "It Is needles# to say that the whole international situation has changed so completely since 191* that Germany today could not do nearly ns well as it did then. But, disre garding even this fact. If we accept the view of those economists who be lieve that Germany I* able to meet Its obligations only if fit can create a favorable balance In International payments, then not very much of the sum to be raised In accordance with (he report of the Dawes committee will ever flow Into allied coffers. "The Dawes committee haa placed llself squarely on record ee accept ing the orthodox view In regard to International payments. It seeks to solvs the problem temporarily by an Ingenious device by which Germany Is to make Its payments within Its own boundaries, leaving to later de termination the question how the sums paid by Germany ere to be transferred to the alliea. Difficult to Pig. "Evidently, the Dawee committee does not expect there will be much exportable surplus, and It state# that If Germany had to pay outalde of ita own boundaries at present/ It would have been dlflfcult to fix any figure with certainty, alncs the at tainment of eueh certainty would In /Tara to Pas* Twe.

Coolitlge Faces Dilemma Washington, April 16—The ornate pul ltaelf formally on record today on the question of Japanese exclusion by adopting the Shortdlrge exclusion amendment to the immigration bill, 71 to 4. Reconsideration of the amendment, which was approved yesterday with out a record vote, was had at tin request of Senator Reed, republican. Pennsylvania, In charge of the bill, who explainer! that opponent* wanted an opportunity to be recorded. The only surprise developed by the roil call tui In the number of oppo nent*, as only two *enator* bad voted to recognise in law the "gentle men's agreement" with Japan on the immigration question. They were Colt of Rhode Island, and Sterling of South Dakota. Joining them today in opposing the exclusion amendment were McLean of Connecticut and Warren of Wyoming, all republican*. After the vote on the exclusion question, the senate disposed of two other amendments, accepting without a roll call an amendment relating- to "origin of nationalities," and rejeeb Ing. 46 to 16, another by Senator Harris, democrat, Georgia, which would have closed the doors to Imrnl gratlon for five years. nr International J»«w» Berrtr* Washington. April !«.—President Coolldgs was face to face today with the most difficult decision that ha* thus far confronted him as chief executive—whether to sign or to veto Japanese excluelon s» set forth In the new Immigration bill. A difficult decision even under the moat sanguine of circumstances, the president's decision In the matter Is mads doubly difficult at this time because of the ogre of politics that aits ever at the elbow of a presidential candidate. Hla advisers are divided themselves, and are considerably worried. Those who look only at the Inter national aspect of the situation are frankly fearful that If the president approves the legislation It will pro vide an affront to Japan that will undo iO years of careful diplomacy and turn the greatest power In the Orient Into a paselve If not open enemy of America and American In terests In the far east. They see the beneficial reaulta of the Wash ington arms conference and Ameri can generosity to Japanese earth quake sufferers wiped out In one stroke of the presidential pen. Advisers Apprehensive. On the other hand. Mr. Coolldge's political advisers are exceedingly ap prehensive as to what may happen to Mr. Foolldge, the candidate, should he veto exclusion. For a generation, the Pacific coast and the far west generally have sought to exclude Japanese Immigration by federal statute. Now that the long fight Is won. It VOiM be ''political suicide " they claim, ff the president to nulli fy the fruits . f that victory by veto Ing the exclusion measure. To do bo. they say, would Inflame the whole Pacific coast and turn a half dnxen states bodily over to the democratic party.
