FOR U. S. MONEY IN MEXICO
American Chamber of Commerce
Favors Financial Plan
Mexico City. May 3(1. (Uy A. P.)
Proposal for the hnortation of United
States paper and metaj currency for the
purpose of solving MVxIeo's monetary
problem have been njiproved by the
American Chamber of Commerce, ac
cording to announcement last night.
They are being considered by the Con
federation of Chambers trf Commerce of
Mexico, which has forty-two chambers
affiliated with it.
The short stock of currency has for
more than a year beeu restricting busi
ness and commerce and bnmpering de
velopment of the eouutry. Speculators
have been reaping a harvest bv export
ing silver at the expense of legitimate
business. The provisional government
has proposed that the confederation
finance a new issue of paper currency,
but the confederation is unwilling to do
so. Should the new government nccept
American paper currency it is believed
the Mexican monetary problem can be
solved in short order.

By the Associated Press
P.irl. May 2(1. Light is thrown on
the financial side of the Versailles
Treaty with Germany In an interview
with Georges Clemenceau. former
French premier, secured by Alfred
Capus. editor of the Gaulols, und pub
lished in that newspaper today,
"Several persons know," said the
former premier, "that In the Peace Con
ference discussion of n fixed Indemnity
lasted for three weeks, W'c should not
forget that a fixed sum for indemnity
was the Anglo-American idea from the
very beginning, and that our Allies
never abandoned this viewpoint. They
even made a most enreful valuation of
the suni Germany could pay, which was
exactly T.'.OOO.OOO.OflO marks In all.
"Out of our share we would have to
pay for the reconstruction of devastated
regions, and I need not tell you we
could not agree to such n solution.
"Discussion was long and ardent,
because the Anglo-American idea as
to Germany's power of paying was
firmly rooted, but finally an agreement
was effected, and that solution was
embodied in the Treaty of Versailles."
"Isn't that solution one that might be
called an 'open account system.' " M.
Clcniraccan was asked. " by which it
is proposed to exact from Germany
everything she owes us, but by succes
sive installments, ns we are in a posi
tion to fix the Indebtedness?"
"Quite right." the former premier re
plied, "nnd with the occupation of the
Khineland as a guarantee, both of the
amount of the debt nnd thegood faith
of the debtor, and with the reparations
commission and the permanent control
organization. I was in complete agree
ment wtih President Poincare on this
plan. When I saw hint accept the presi
dency of the reparations commission I
thought his acceptance the logical conse
quence of our mutual conception."
When the interviewer interjected that
M. Poincare had resigned from that
position. M. Clemenceau declared: "I
approved, as he could do nothing else,
since our system hnd been thrown over."
M. Clemenceau spoke nt some length
on the immense difficulties of peace
making, saying:
"These were much greater than the
most sincere detractors of the treatv
I imagined. I said in the Chamber of
Deputies that to preserve union among
the Allies I would make every sacrifice.
Well, I didn't make every one. I made
only some, nnd those principally in
form, otherwise an agreement would
have been impossible."
