CRISES IS AT HAND

REPARATION ISSUE

aris. May 1, The presence In Paris
of la Jerman cabinet minister plus one
of the port trusted financiers- In the
Gffman reichsbank. who have come to
negotiate with the a I Lie, on the subject
of (Germany's war debt, would seem to
indicate that a highly important crisis
in 'the reparations Question is at hand.
Fisance Minister. Hermes and Dr. Berg
mann are playing for high stakes. The
result of their mission will be either the
restoration of , order- to German fi
nances an accomplishment which would
bejjof immense, value to the whole com
mercial world or possibly the invasion
of peij-manyby armed French troop3.
3ltTHOI IS CHANGED
Hitherto the negotiations between Ger
many and the allies have invariably pro
ceeded by means of ultimatums and the
German officials have not been able to
prve the sincerity-of their pleas to the
supreme council or the reparations com
Kiitision. Will the same prove true .of
Messrs. Hermes--and Bergmann or nil!
they succeed in inaugurating a new era
in j war finance? Minister- Hermes has
already seen Louis Dubois, president of
th4 reparations commission, and sev
eral other' members of that' body.
It seems practically certain that Hen"
Hermes - brings with him a concrete
plan, including several definite propo
sals to satisfy the, demands made by
-the; reparations committee in the famous
note of March 1. It - is said that the
German government is now resigned to
accepting iln a camouflaged form allied
control over German finances. - It is
VlSo reported that the orlgilnal refusal
totraise fiO, 000. 000,000 gold marks ($14,
28,OOO,O0O) by means of new taxes -has
been' modified to such an extent that a
compromise is possible.
HBORT TERM LOAN
; )ne of the most Important proposals
carried by Herr Jlermes, according to
newspaper reports, is a plan 'for an
international shtfrt term loan of more
thlin. $1,000,0100,000 secured by a mort
gage on the German tobacco and alcohol
"duties, which would enable the Germans
. to stabilise the mark for a number o
years or until a aennite settlement oi
th indemnity problem could be reached.
Thls time the Germans, in negotiating
wjth the allies. . have been much more
taetful than usual. First came the visit
of JHerr Bergmann to Paris early in May
toSfeel oyt public opinion, then the Wil
helmstrasse ' note of May 9 couched in
general but conciliatory terms and now
the visit .of Herr Hermes. His com
panion. Dr. Bergmann, will remain in
Paris for J. Pierpont Morgan's bankers'
conference on May 23.

j BANKRUPT IN SIX MONTHS

Berlin, May 16. Another six months
aiid Germany will go bankrupt. This Is
the view of many Americans. Germans
and others who know tie real business
conditions in, Germany. 1 Business in this
country is extremely poor at present and
only the most hopeful are making con
tracts with the manufacturers. The rea
son for this is ihat the value of the
German mark has gone up 20 per cent.
When the marked dropped, to., 350. to
the dollar some time . ago the manu
facturers raised their prices almost to
warld market figures. When the mark
rose again to somewhere in the neigh
borhood pf 200 to the dollar the price
of German goods was so high that the
consumers could not afford to buy them,
especially in view of the fact that there
are prohibitive tariffs on German made
jrqoda in most of the former belligerent
countries.
In addition to all this Germany her
self has exorbitant taxes on a! the
moat desirable kinds of roods. Many in

Jjewia Stephen Pilcher, commander-iri--liief of Cirana Army, who, with
his wife, is visiting in Portland among comrades : of
Strife between nations Is not over,
declared Dr. Lewis Stephen Pilcher,
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, at a dinner party Mon
day night at the Grand Army head
quarters, given in honor of himself and
Mrs. Pilcher.
"Wars are not ail over." he said. "A
good understanding among friends is a
mighty good thing, but it does not
amount to very much among enemies.
Diplomats may write and talk, but if
there is anger In the heart of a nation
treaties will not always wipe it out."
The commander affirmed that he is
not an alarmist or ' a militarist, but
advocated an army and navy of suf
ficient size to instill sober thoughts in
the mind of any nation looking for a
"frisky little frolic with Uncle Sam
and thinks it could get away with It."
Dr. Pilcher said there are about
80,000 active members of the G. A. R.
Civil war.
many have been stopped at the border
by customs officers who demand they
either pay. 200 per cent due on -articles
such as cameras, field glasses and Jewels
or leave them behind. Germany, while
not having a protective tariff as such,
has a system of taxation which is very
effective in preventing monopolized in
dustrial products from leaving the coun
try without having high taxes paid
on them.
and that the average age of each mem
ber is about 80 years. About 100 Oregon
members attended the dinner party,
which was given by the Women's Relief
corps, department Of Oregon.
Commander Pilcher
emphatically in favor

France, and believed
