ALLOW GERMANY TWO YEAR MORATORIUM Es,iperts Advises Granting - PRe- Re Reparations a Re- spite �r�� P Pay - merits of Cash or in Kind. �e� A. despatch from Berlin say*s:-The, report c✓f the experts who have been; investigating economic conditions in Germany, Professors Keynes, Brand, l Jenks and Cassel, advocates a two -1, years' moratorium from reparations; payments of cash or in kind and stabilization of the mark on the basis of 3,000 to 3,500 marks to the dollar l by utilizing. the Reicbsbank'e gold re- serve. The report contends that the financial problem cannot be solved unless•: the mark is stabilized, and that stabilization would be impossible without a moratorium. The experts. suggest that half the Reichgbank's gold "aid suffice, and should be de- voted to repurchase of paper marks, the reemzehases to be restricted to German bank notes, especially those !it Moe •n possession, but excluding, saes bills. `l`pia moratoriuri might need, to be extended., and payments should' • not lis redesmed until Germany is able to dlseharge them from a real budget susph., which the eepea s think may be attainable in two years. Thus stabilization would depend for success not en a foreign lean, but on develop- ment of the eondutions of production and -final settlement of the reparations r reblem. They consider that their plans would 'be facilitated if in the mean- time negotiations were started with. a consortium of bankers to support stahlization by modest credits, and aleo that a foreign loan cannot be ex- pecteduntil the reparations ° problem eP roble P is finally settled. Regarding an unfavorable trade balance, tine experts state that statis- tics at present available cannot form ground for adequate judgment and G h ld h l THE COMING STORM -From London Opinion, VAST AREAS TO BE :, Y PLANE SURVEYED t n .

A despatch from Cochrane, Ont., says: -The almost limitless expanse. of the territory stretching as far as the Province of Manitoba en the northwest and Hudson Bay on the east and the Albany.

In an interview here on Thursday, in which he touched on the future policy of the T. and N. 0. in its plans for further extension of its traffic boundaries, Chairman. George Lee stated that completion of the ex- tension of the railhead to James Bay will only mark the opening of further exploitation of unknown lands for the Ontario Government.

Try, to escape service and' the duty and ;privilege of a. servant, and you earn contempt; now and oblivion after you come to lie in the dust. Every useful person; must .prove it by serving somehow, somewhere. There are some triflers and idlers - who never have known what it is to do a•day's honest work for a day's wage. They do net win matter. Their money. bagsmay t_, them popularity among others as worthless as themselves, but their prestige extendls no further. We have come to attach a mean no- tion to that word servant. We talk of being "servile" and of "servility," and we signify a' cringing, obsequious, lick -spittle attitude, wanting in self- respect, not venturing to raise the head or stiffen the backbone to claim its soul for:its own, But that is not the true notion of service.

The French, however, insist that it is dangerous to delay the conference, and they are backed up by the Allied High Commissioners and Allied gen- erals in Constantinople. With the .mural suppoit of the Mos- cow Government, Mustapha ha Kemal's Government is not only asking for the return' of Mosul; the rich oil region in Mesopotamia, but also a portion of Syria and an indemnity of $1,200,- 000,000 from "Greece,' the autonomy bf the Greek Islands off the coast of Asia Minor, the abolition of capitula- tions and the complete -independence of Turkey. The latter demand .un- doubtedly has a direct application to control of : the Straits, which the United States and, the Allies insist should not be .' subject to Turkish control. to have peace'and industrial stability and a wholesome social condition.
