In 1934, he presided at the German Foreign Debt Conference at the Reichsbank in Berlin, where the Dawes Plan and the Young Plan were secretly junked. This marked the end of attempts to *collect German obliga- tions. It wiped the slate clean for Germany financially. Later in the same year, ‘met again with German bankers, and in 1934 he conferred with Hitler and received a gift from the grate- ful Nazi Government. And when he some of the international money machinations which went on se- cretly in Berlin and Basle in which Fraser participated. Whether this had anything to do with Fraser's mental depression and his mysterious suicide may never be known. But it is known that a lot of well-meaning bankers also were fogled by Hitler. Leon Fraser was one of those contageous personalities everybbdy liked, and this is written only in the hope that other soft peace disciples may not repeat his dis- astrous mistake of the last decade.
