The storm and ice stopped boat service before they could return. The only means of reaching the 4sland is by airplane, which under the terms of the contract, is required to give prelerence to. mail and foodstuffs. More than a ton of mail was trans- ported to the island yesterday, and the volume of business is so heavy that air- plane officials estimate that it will be tomorrow before any of the stranded islanders can be taken across. .

The fact that the opposition to ratify- | ing the Young plan received only 6,000, 000 votes out of the necessary 21,000,000 may be taken to mean that the German people not only recognized their obli- gation, but that they are ready to do | their share in rearranging the finances of the world through the Young plan, which has been hailed as a means of rescuing Germany from permanent financial bondage. The approval by the German people means also_that when the reparations bonds are floated investors throughout | the world will no longer have any doubt | about the good faith of Germany or Ppossible repudiation. Plans for the flotation of an interna- tional bond issue have been held up not | only until the outcome of the German| referendum, but until the money mar- | kets of the world were more receptive | to such a flotation. It has been appar- ent for some time that the reparation bonds would not find a ready market until cheaper money was available in' the markets of the world. The stock market crash in America has had its effect in all parts of Europe, as revealed in the declining rates for money in the principal European countries. i The ratification of the Young plan is expected to have an even greater effect on the stabilization of finances abroad, though no large offering of interna- tional reparation bonds is likely to be made until the bond market in the United States shows a better frame of mind. This is expected to materialize in the early part of 1930. So really the delay in ratifying the Young plan has not had any serious consequence. It| ‘was a nervous moment, however, for the | international. banking world, because if Germany had disapproved the Young plan it would have upset all the plans for financing of reparations, something which is calculated to improve the eco- nomic position of Europe to such an ex- tent that its purchasing power, it is believed, will be materially enhanced. ‘With the United States looking across both oceans for more export trade to take up the surplus over the needs of domestic consumption, it may be said that on the next steps in putting the Young plan into effect the whole eco- nomic outlook of the world depends. It is not the amount of money which the American Government will get out of the reparations settlement, but the vast sums expected to flow here through in- creased trade that make American offi- cials happy that the Young plan has been finally approved by Germany. —D.
