The mobilization loan will be farmed out to the various capital exporting countries of the world, and the directors will naturally make the most advantageous deals, with the big bond houses of each country for the marketing, the com- missions following closely the ac cepted standards of each country. The bonds will accordingly be quot- ed in the currency of each country, though United States, England and France will be expected to absorb the largest shares.
