There was a reduction in the loans made to the allied nations but it is to be realized that it has been necessary to settle up many of the contracts which were awarded but which had to be cancelled following the end of the strife.

Their maintenance, moving expenses and pay. must be taken care of, while there is the in- terest charge to be met and the de- mobilization expenses continue. The decrease in the disbursements is to be anticipated henceforth but it must be expected that it will be gradual rather than precipitate. It takes time and money to get back to a peac sis conditions into war.
