The announcement of the Wiggin | Committee of Bankers in Basel, Swit- | zerland, that European political dis- putes should be settled and Germany's reparations payments revised was re- ceived here without comment by ad- ministration officials. Time will b> re- quired for a study of the text of the recommendations before aaything can be done here, officials said. Several days ago Secretary Stimson, | who is abroad, sent to the State De- partment here categorical denials of persistent newspaper rcports that he was discussing a war debt revision plan with Premier MacDonald of England. Amcng the many plans President Hoover and his sdvisers considered be- | fore the announcement of a year's moratorium on war debts and repara- tions payments was one for a general re-exzmination of the capacity cf gov- ernments to pay their obligations.

Bomne withorities last night expressed the opinion thet President Hoover wou'd take advantage of Stimson's study of the whole European situation on the Secre- | tary's present trip and would discuss the eccnomic and political necessities | with the cabinet member upon his return.

WALL STREET SATISFIED. | Revision Plan Closely in Line With Opinion of Bankers. NEW YORK, August 19 (#).—In- | formal comment in Wall Street banking circles indicated considerable satisfac- tion today with the report of the Wig- gin Committee on German finances. Th: report of the committee | closely in line with opinions which | have recently been expressed infor- mally by prominent bankers. It has been felt in Wall Street that while the Young plan payments are ! due to be resumed in about 10 months, no long-term loan to Germany is pos- | sible. Bankers foresee little prospect of | sufficiently rapid revival of world busi- | ness conditions to make resumption of | payments feasible on the old basis. | It has been pointed out by prominent | bankers that while the problem of some ! new deal at the end of the one-year moratorium period hangs over the sit- | uation, German bonds are unlikely to find a ready market, and the {of funding any of Germany's term indebtedness remains decidedly cloudy. The part of the committee’s report dealing with the necessity of settling | European political disputes was in line | with opinions expressed in Wall Street at the time the Reichsbank unsuccess- fully sought a $500,000.000 loan a few weeks ago. At that time New York bankers vere distinctly unenthusiastic over entering into any plan the benefi- cial effects of which night. be lost through political frictions.

BASEL, Switzerland, August 19.—The cfficial summary of the Wiggin Com- mittee’s report, calling for revision of | tlement of European disputes, reads as | follows: “The report of the Financial Com- mittee, which was set up by the Bank for International Settlements on the recommendation of the London Confer- ence ‘to inquire into immediate and Turther credis needs of Glermany and | portion” of her short-term credits into long-term credits’ falls into two parts, according to the wording of these terms of reference. | “The first part, dealing with the im- mediate credit needs of Germany, refers to the fact that the position which has arisen in Germany Is largely the result | of the world depression and partly the | Tesult of the particularly vulnerable po- | { sition in which the country found itself. | “During the seven years between 1924 and 1930 Germany's foreign indebted- | ness grew faster than the assets owned by her abroad: 18,200,000.000 reichs- | | marks mated at 25,000,000,000 reichsmark | which, of course, is in part offset by German foreign ' assets amounting to 1 9.700.000.000 reichsmarks, leaving a net | debt to forelgners of about 15,800,000~ 000 reichsmarks. Paid Out of Borrowings. “It is largely out of borrcwing that reparations have been indirectly met In two years a surplus of exports has provided assistance, been, of course, receipts from services. “And it follows that, in the main, yments out®of Germany's resources and will ! not be so effected until the appropriate | part of these commercial debtis are re- | paid, in the form either of gold, goods | or services. | _“In the immediate past it appears that in 1929 there was a balance be- tween imports and exports, but in 1930, when a faverable commodity balance was achieved, surplus and Invisible exports provided two-thirds of the amount required to meet Germany’s for- | leaving one-third still | i | eign obligations, to be met by borrowings. And this was the most favorable year from this point |of view. “The weakness of the German finan- | | cial situation at the end of 1930 arose out of the fact that, whereas Germany’s | foreign short-term indebtedness was no | {less than 10,300,000,000 reichsmarks, | | having increased to that figure from | 14.100,000,000 reichmarks at the end of | 1926, Germany’s short-term _invest- | | menis abroad,” including foreign ex- Ichange at the Reichsbank, amounted | to only about 5,300,000,000 reichsmarks. | : | “The increase in short-term indebt- | edness was quite out of proportion to | the growth of foreign trade and there | is little doubt that it was used to a | very large extent to replace working | capital when long-term money proved | not available, In Vulnerable Position. “While it would have been better if | these short-term debts could have been | converted into long-term debt, it was | probably not possible and in any event | was not done. When, therefore, an | outflow of capital occurred it found | Germany in a very vulnerable position, | which, in spite of an export surplus existing during the first six months of 1931, produced a serious crisis. “It is estimated that the withdrawal from abroad of short-term funds in the first six months ~* 1931 amounted to 2,900,000.000 reichsmarks, in addition to which there was a certain amount | of selling by foreigners of long-term | investments in Germany and purchases by Germans of Jong and short term | investments abroad. In all the outflow | | appears to have been about 3,500,000 | reichsmarks. “The committee expresses no view | | regarding capacity of Germany to pro- | | vide her capital needs out of an in-] ternal savings, but emphasizes that the | piling up of her obligations is no ulti- { mate solution of her problem. “The immediate needs involve the | | cessation of withdrawals, for which { purpose the committee has been in | touch with the bankers regarding the so-called ‘stand-still' agreements with foreign countries whereby _existing credits will be maintained. The com- | | mittee concludes that uniess part of | the capital withdrawn can be replaced, economy of Germany will con- ue in a condition of severe strain. Assets Needed in Trade. “It is not believed that the mobiliza- tion of German assets abroad provides a remedy for the situation, since most of these assets are need>d in connection with German trade and industry, and so |are not avai'able. ‘The other possibility would be for Germany to secure foreign { exchang» by drastically reducing her im- ports end making every -effort to in- | crease her exports. This solution is not one which commends itself to the com- mittee since it would involve dislocation of the economic life of Germany and would also aggravate the world position | by reducing the sales of other countries in cther markets “The committze is of the opinion that ! | We Make it Hard for You to Use Scrub Tires by Making it EASY to Buy U.S. Cash or Credit Your Own Terms Pay $ and Leave for Good s Summary of Revision Plan Wiggin Committee Repo.rt Deals With Immediate Credit Needs of Germany and Possibility of Convert- war debts and reparations and th> set- | to study th> possibility of converting a | | There has been a rapid recovery of Ger- | changes are such as to make the is- Her total indebtedness is esti- | | powers are established on a basis of and there have | made abroad by Germany | Curing these years were not effected | | imperil the maintenance of her finan- | essential that the process of investment | Grand Rapids Trust Co.

So long as these obligations, both private and public, are such as to involve either & continuous increase in snow-ball fashion of the foreign debt of Ger- many, or alternatively, a_disproportion between her exports and imports on such a scale as to threaten economic prosperity of other countries, prospec- tive investors are not likely to regard the situation as stable. “The committee believes it to be essentlal that before the period of prolongation of _credits recommended | by the London Conference comes to an | end the powers represented at the Lon- don Conference should give assurance that international payments to be made by Germany will not be such as to cial stability. “The committee recalled that the German problem is also part of the larger issue which affects the whole world, In order to revive demand and thus check the fall in prices it is of fresh capital should be resumed “Secondly, Germany has provided & forcible illustration of the fact that the world has been endeavoring to pursue contradictory policies in de- veloping a situation where annual pay- ments of large sums have to be made by debtor to creditor countries, while at the same time putting obstacles in the way of the movement of goods with which to make such payments.
