Oct, DETROIT, 13.—Harvesting _Everyman’ s German Bonds. So many people have written to me about the German internal bonds in which there has of late been such wild speculation that a. few more words about the status of these Fe- curities, 1f they are entitled to that term, may not come amiss, What I say refers entirely to the bonds, nat- jonal and municap, payable in marks and is not intended in any way to fefer to the expected international lean the American portion of which will be payable in dollars. Specutation in these German mark bonds is apparently based on the idea that the German government will make some adjustment with the holders because of the, fact thatisim- ilar action has been taken with re- gard to certain German industrial loans, There is no doubt that enor- mous losses have been sustained by the German creditor class through the depreciation of the mark. They .loaned their money in good faith hefore the world war on the promise that principal would be repaid-at a certain time and that meanwhile In- terest would be forthcoming at a certain rate. All these loans were ex- pressed in terms of marks when the mark had a stable go!d value, a little less than 24 cents, As it stands today one trillion of paper marks are the equivalent of one gold mark before the war. ‘The injustice of forcing lenders to @ssume all this loss is self-evident = 4m certain cases the government Fecognized this injustice and pe compensation in part to be| next Wednesday) Ni of the bean crop et now is in full swing « walle whe yield ts short, the q is fine and farmers are receiving better prices than last year.

Even then the chances ere that the inclination will be to make a dis- Unction between the hold- ers of the bonds and those who have purchased them as speculations, There is one more point to consider, Tf the improbable should come to pars and a payment be made on these obligations within any reason: able time the American speculator would face the difficulty of getting his money out of Germany.
