GERMANY MAY GO OFF GOLD

AND DEMAND REDUCTION OF INTEREST ON LOANS

THROUGH BELTER'S · AGENOT.).

LONDON, April 6 THE possibility of Germany aban

dening the gold standard and demanding a reduction of interest on her external loans is envisaged by newspapers, in consequence of a decision by the Reichsbane to repay in gold the credit of fourteen million sterling granted by the Bank of International Settlements in 1911, thereby reducing the gold. covering the Reichsbank note issue to about fifteen per cent.

Mr. Mellon and Mr. Matsuoka,

Mr. Andrew Mellon, who has completed his term of office as American Ambassador, left London to-day for the United States. Mr. Mateucks, who was head of the Japanese delegation to the Leagu of Nations, was on the same train; he is returning to Japan by way of America.

Mr. Mataidaira, the Japanese Ambassador, stopped to talk with M. Mellon on his way to bid fare well to Mr Matsuoka.

Mp Mellon, intervals off shaking hands with members of the American community : said.

"I have enjoyed my time here very much. I have made many friends in this country, and I hope to come back, from time to timėj to ace them. "America ia not so far away after all. It is nearer now than ever."TWIT

I do not think I shall ever go to Geneva again.Japan will, I hops, be represented on the League some day, but it will be when the League makes it easy for our re- presentative to be there. Perhaps, when all the trouble with China is over, it may be arranged.
