T. MASON (Written for the United Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—(United Press)—Germany has passed the Peak of her domestic misfortunes and is on the way to recovery. The new monetary system introduced by the government to stabilize condi- tions {is having an immediate effect on prices and the end of the paper mark as a speculative instrument has come. The German experiment with un- sound money has had the effect of creat'ng very large funds abroad for the German government. Foreign speculators in marks have been fool- ed by Berlin's unscrupulous financial tactics. It is not unlikely that a billion dollars in Europe and Amert- ca may have been pald for marks by people who expected to have castles on the Rhine for a few cents when the mark returned to par. The mark will never come back and the money paid for German paper cur- rency has passed forever from for- de Casper Caily Cribune Run Two Great Hotels Charity Now York—Leaders of society took over the Biltmore and Commodore hotels and ran them for a day for the benefit ot tubercu'osis paced by willing society Kelley, Helen Jenkins, orkers.

A Transfer of Wealth The only effect of the reign of the paper mark in Germany has teen to transfer German wealth from one_set of Germans to another. The wealth itself still rema‘ns with- ‘n Germany. ready for use as soon AS a permanent settlement of the reparations problem makes it safe for wealth to show its head. No nermanent harm, therefore, has be- fallen Germany internally from the mark’s carouse. At most, there has been temporary misery among a cer- tain class of the population, while the German government has taken from foreign countr’es more than enough cash to reimburse it for all the actval cash payments on re- parations account. The fo!) of the Stresemann cahinet was regarded with dread by those who belleved it would mean plunging Germany into chaos. Instead of that, Germany ts now emerging from chaos. There will be a fairly fre- quent succession of governments to the Stresemann ministry, but the new f'nancial policy now established is not likely to change, In its essen- tials, however many times the Ber- lin ministry may be over thrown as an outward concession to the hollow powers of the Reichstag.

Foreign- ers, having been burned so badly over paper marks, will not speculate again with the new currency. If they were foolish enough to do so, there is no question but that the synical financiers in charge of Ger- many’s monetary policy would start the printing presses as of old and would pass out trredeemable paper in whatever quantities foreign specu lators des'red. Can't Play Game Twice But the Germans have now be come persuaded that this game can- not be played twice. Therefore, to depress the new currency would be only to continue confusion within Germany, resulting in no benefit to the state. Hence, it is to be expect ed that the present stabilizing policy will be permanent, no matter what government changes may follow. Stab'lization is all Germany needs to keep the country busy at work Even at the height of the inflation of the mark, German unemployed numbered less than one-fourth the unemployment of Great Britain. Now that German employers know where they are on a comparatively in- flexible money basis, unemployment 1s sure to decrease. Prices have started to fall and the German people are now ‘in a posit: to await the winter with equanimity If their own food should temporari!y give out, the American government is preparing to grant Germany food credits, to find a market for Ameri. can grain.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—The operations of a “boy broker” who negotiated deals involving more than $25,000,000 in two years, for which he drew a salary of $125 a Week, were revealed yesterday in a federal court hearing into the af- fairs of the bankrupt curb broker- age house of Jones and Baker.

We are all hop: ing that most beneficial results wil! PAGE THREE. follow, in every way. If the Chinese government wishes to strengthen and fully assert itself, the provisions wrought in the conference must be exceedingly encouraging.” Minister Schurman said that Prest- dent Harding wanted to see China freed from foreign restrictions and endowed with full powers of sovere- ignty at the earliest moment. While some of the provisions of the Wash- ington conference did not fulfill thts, Mr. Harding believed that the pros- pects were bright for an early con- summation of all provisions. PRES.
