# 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

Ingenious device by which Germany
Is to make Its payments within Its
own boundaries, leaving to later de
termination the question how the

ment Keadopted.
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

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.
