(I. N. F. Staff Correspondent)
Paris, Feb. 21. Cermau railwuys will
l.lav the most imnorthnt tmrt in ih ruin
ing of money for the im.Yiucnt of indeui !
uuy. it was learned by International
News Service, this afternoou.
However, the 'international repure
tions experts are not considering tin-,
man railway revenues in connection with
nn international loan hor as security fur
the proposed Vierinun gold mark hank.
They pointed out the Impracticability of
attempting the flotation of a ten billion
mark shortage, - loan, considering the
present condition of the world, market.
The financial experts said that under
normal conditions it, would he difficult
to sell German bunds. Now, with confi
dence in (lei'iuany shaken, it would be
even more difficult to sell Cri-man mort
gage bonds than t was to dispose ot the
u-parations bonds issued by the inter
allied reparations commission.
, A majority --of thei committeemen lic
l.cve that the proposed Uermau gold
mark hank cannot await a complete res
toration of confidence. They maiutnjn
this institution is .necessary to market
bonds wl.icu will be based upon the uiort
giiging of (ierman railways. ; .
Tho experts found (hat (ierman rail
ways constitute the only big unencum
bered property in. Germany. Deprecia
tion of tho Herman mark wiped ont the
pre-war indebtedness of life railwuy
lines. ' - ;
Tremendous ruuis were spent upon
railway repairs after the war. The Ger
man railwav lines are now considered the
Lest in Kurope. .Their pre-war Values
was estimated at 2r..Ot)O,0(MVMX marks
and their annual profits averaged oue
bliliou gold marks. This represented only
u tour per cent return, which is a conser
vative estimate or what line railway
lines can produce In the future. .
