THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1931 BANKERS INVIENNA ON SECRE SN Business Has to Do, How- ever, With Austria and Not With Moratorium. BY A. R. DECKER. By Radio to The Star. VIENNA, Austria, November 26.—, Lewis Chanler of the National City Bank is in Vienna with other repre- sentatives of the London committee, ! among them Sir Otto Niemeyer, H man who placed so many countries the gold exchange standard basis: Peter Bark of the Bank of England, Sir Rob- ert Kindersley of the Bank of England and the Lazard Brothers of London. An effort is being made to keep the visit secret, and the exact purpose is not known, 'but it can be stated that the committee's representatives are dealing with a particular problem concerning | Austria, and not with the general mora. torium or default for Austria or Hun- | & some of the visitors are honorary | directors on the board of the ill-fated Austrian Credit Institute and other vis- | itors represent some generous but im- | prudent banks which loaned funds to the Credit Institute, it is assumed that | as the big holding company is known | in Austria. | Want Liquidation. It has been found almost impossible | to liquidate the Cre:it Anstalt, because | the assets fled the country or are frozen in piles of concrete, brick and rusted machinery which were once fac- | tories, but now show only hundreds of | smokeless stacks as monuments above the ruins. Due to the government's guaranty, the Credit Anstalt is now an Austrian | government institution, and of more than $100,000,000 worth of discounts by the Austrian National Bank 90 per cent are for discounts of the Credit Anstalt. There is a scheme to turn the rediscounts into a debt of the gov- | ernment to the national bank. Another | suggestion is to give foreign creditors long-term bonds in exchange for short- term loans now frozen. ‘The most interested parties want a thorough liquidation of the Credit An- stalt, so that each industry will have to exist or perish on its own merits. The Credit Anstalt's overhead is still too high, all out of proportion to the pro- duction involved. Some creditors offer to take over particular industries, but naturally there are no offers for the most unprofitable plants. Extension Seen Necessary. ‘The French Citroen interests are said to have made offers for Steyr automo- bile works, and American oil interests were examining ofl companies’ installa- tion, but in general it is thought that nearly all industry must be reorganized. It is obvious that the short-term agreement will have to be prolonged at the end of the two-year period, and in the meantime both Austria and Hun- gary are expected to declare a general transfer of the moratorium. While here tbe bankers are expected to look into the exchange difficulties of Central Europe as affecting commer- | clal banking. The head of the Czecho- elovak National Rauk is on his way to Vienna, and Hungarian commercial bankers are in Vienna. ‘The Credit Anstalt ramifications extended to all parts of the former Austro-Hungarian empire and prospered when the region Wwas &n economic unit. The Austrian government declared it intends to live up to all the agreements mace with the frozen credit committees, as well as to maintain service on for- | eign obligations, but it is expected that | the good will of the government cannot | prevail over facts.

PLANS MADE TO MOVE LINCOLN COLLECTION| Famous Oldroyd Pieces to Be| Placed in Reconditioned Ford’s Theater. ‘The wurk of moving the famous Old- royd collection from the house in| which Abraham Lincoln died, on Tenth | strect near E street, across to the newly painted Ford's Theater Building, | where the emancipator received his | death wound, will be undertaken | shortly. ! First Lieut. F. B. Butler, assistant | director of Public Buildings and Parks, has announced that Dr. Alexander | Wetmore, assistant secretary of the Bmithsonian Institution, has made available the services of W. H. Egberts, & historic expert, as supervisor for this work. The house in which Lincoln died will be restored as nearly es possible to the condition existing in 1865, but Lieut. Butler said the Federal Government has no funds available now for pur- chasing antique furniture or furnish- ings. He added that donations of fur- niture or furnishings by patriotic soci- eties would be welcomed. The articles dealing with the life and death of Lincoln have been crowded in their present quarters, and new cases have been made for placing the ex- hibits on display in the old Ford Thea- ter. Capt. John T. Clemens of the building guards force has been detailed to take charge of the moving. | GARNER CLUB FORMED i Move Started to Put Texan in| Presidential Race. 1 HOUSTON, Tex., November 26 (#).— A “John Garner-for-President” Club was organized here yesterday.

Tries to “Sell” Medicine Ball. American Ambassador Frederick Sack- ett tried to “sell” the chancellor the notion of playing with a medicine ball every morning as a means of keeping fit. The Ambassador predicated the appeal on the popular practice at Washington. But Herr Bruening wouldn't budge. At the close of the recent Reichstag session cabinet members secretly re- Joiced when their chief announced he i o the Rhine country “for This, they thought, indi- ion. Bruening went to the and spent all his waking hours in con- ferences with the leaders of the heavy y industry, asking their advice t to help the German nation pull through the Winter months with heavy load of economic and political problems. Much for Which to Be Thankful. Thanksgiving day finds Bruening with much for which to be thankful, but it brings an indication of much trouble in the course the chancellor will have to steer before the Spring thaws come. Among the things for which the | chancellor might well be thankful are otion of Germany's the unwavering d on Hindenburg, the aged President firm stand in his behalf taken by his own Catholic party and the Social Democratic party, whose pre-war per- | sacution by the extremists apparently has solidified its leaders against the | approaching wave of nationalism sweep- | | ing the country. Among the problems which must he solved are Germany's 6,500,000 unem- ployed, the growing tide of nationalism evidenced in the recent city and state elections throughout the Reich, the na- | tional economic condition, accentuated by world conditions and further aggra- | vated by the slump in sterling and the | sharp drop in the Reichshank's gold coverage, and the uneasiness felt throughout the country over repara- tions and Germany’s millions of shor term credits, temporarily frozen until March, 1932, | | Police Raid “Nazi"” Party. | .
