Certainly nothing plaintive was said last week by Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, President of the Reichsbank and chief of the German delegation at Paris. Emerging from the secret session at which the $28,000,000,000 bill was presented, Dr. Schacht merely roared at correspondents: "Neither the figures nor the conditions are acceptable to Germany!

...Reichsbank when he arrived. In the Fatherland, where such an assemblage represents the colossal vested interests of a score of banking and industrial trusts, it does not take long to sound out the opinions of ''big business." Therefore after only the briefest conference, "Iron Man" Hjalmar Schacht boarded the Nord Express for Paris, appearing to be, as usual, somewhat less gracious and communicative than a snapping turtle...
