Also in on several of these secret tête-a-têtes was poker-faced Emile Moreau, governor of the Bank of France. Surprising credence was achieved by a wild rumor that Mr. Young contemplated the resignation of his friend and protege, Seymour Parker Gilbert, as Agent-General of Reparations and had in mind as his successor M. Moreau. On the assumption that Germany really cannot pay as much as France is sure she can, it might be well for the French government's chief financial adviser to find that out for himself in Berlin.

Scene: The salle a manger of the Bank of France in the Hotel de Toulouse, an historic palace built by the great architect Francois Mansart, for a natural son of Louis XIV.

Another car carried the Agent General to confer lengthily with Emile Moreau. Governor of the Bank of France. Rumors from Berlin told that Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, stern, forthright President of the Reichsbank was expected momentarily to leave for Paris...
...They knowingly misled French justice! The role of these Americans was blameworthy and reprehensible." Thus intoned M. le Juge Adolphe Wattine of the First Civil Tribunal of Paris, last week. He had just rebuked and suspended three French divorce lawyers-Maitres Moreau, Legrand and Prestal-and was now warming up to flay their U. S. divorce clients and especially those U.S. lawyers who act in Paris as inter-mediaires between would-be-divorcees and the French avocats who alone may argue cases before the Paris Bar.
