" Julius Kruttschnitt. known in
'every financial circle of the world,
is being pensioned. Officially the
pensioning began June 1. but two
intervening holidays hate made it
possible for him to “quit the job"
in advance of the date he himself
fixed for his stepping out. Julius
Kruttsohnitt is quitting the road,
laying down his tools. after almost
forty-eight years of active service.
That period comes pretty close to
spanning the history of modern
railroading. And Kruttschnitt has
made the grade from the .roadbed

siding officer of the executive

His record of achievement is too

.the skillful hands of Kruttschnitt.
,Mr. Kruttsohnitt's passing is of
greater significance perhaps in that.

of what might be called civil on.

llllshed chain. Through all of his
service to the Southern Pacific, the
retiring head insists that he has re—
shuttled an engineer. There was a
time when the railroad executive

CO-OPERATION
suiting State De-
pertinent on Condi-
lions ,
By DAVID LAWRENCE
Special Correspondent
Of The Evening Sentinel.
(Copyright, {1925.)
WASHINGTON. June 3 —- The
United States government has not
, yet interfered with the flotation of
any important loans by American
bankers to foreign powers. Nor is
loans that may be requested.
This in a nutshell is the status of
the foreign loan question notwith-
standing the many rumors, reports
and informal threats that have been
published in the last few months in
connection with the failure of al-
lied governments to make arlunge-
ments for the funding of their war
debts to the United States.
Even since March 1,1921, when
the Hardins- -Iiushes administration
bankers to consult the Department
of State before making any foreign
lo‘ans there has been a voluminous
correspondence with private bank-
‘crs and many informal conversn.
lions. In practically every case
the procedure has been for the state
department to submit the matter to
the (rennin department and depart-
ment of commerce to learn if eith-
er of these departments had any ob-
Jcction. The advice finally render-
cd by the state department to the
bankers has never been published
but it may be said that the number
of instances in which loans have
been discouraged have been few and
far between and have usually re-
lated to circumstances other than
the delay of a foreign government
to fund war debts.
Only in the case of a small
European country didthe govern-
ment here discourage the request
for a private loan pointing out that
the country in question had not ful-
filled its promise to give the United
States equal opportunity in redistri-
bution of the funds of a, previous
loan. None of the large European
countries have made any 're‘qucsts
through private bankers that have
been discouraged. This does not
mean that this step will never be
taken. It does mean, however. that
before the United States govern-
ment does go to the extreme of pre-
venting a. European power from
borrowing funds the country in
question‘will have to pursue a policy
which it is inconceivable here will
ever be .ursued. namely refuse to
make any arrangement or serious
effort to arrange for funding of ex.
lstingdebts.
Broadly speaking. the .American
government has told private bank'-
ers that it is the desire of the Uni«
ted. States tosee bormwingcoum
tries balance their budgets and tax
their people to make up deficits ra-
ther then seek funds here but that
nations which are makl'ng real ef-
forts in that direction could be and
should be helped. 11
The talk of stopping foreign icons
is. therefore. largely a reminder of
what might happen if European
governments neglected their manl-
fest obligations to the United States
and is at. pi-esent aimed more at
the smaller countries than at. the
larger ones.
One point is constantly empha-
sized. namely that the United States
recognises no priority'to other coun-
tries. Thus if funds are, available
to pay Great Britain and America
is given no payment. 'it will be felt
here that the United States 'has
been neglected and that requests
for loans through private bankers
must necessarily be subject to the
most serious consideration in the
light of those circumstances.
All in all. the private bankers of
America. are cooperating with the
government here and are following
thendvlce given by the Department
of State. In a. few instances about
two years ago where the procedure
was not known to some of the
smaller banking firms the Depart;
ment of State was not ‘consulted
but new policy of department is fully
known and recognized. There is no
law compelling bankers to consult
the government here or to heed its
advice but they are doing so for
pmriotic reasons and because an ob.
jectlon voiced by the government
plight in turn discourage prospec.

CORNELLSUES
FOR HIS $35,000
Attorney G o e s Into
{Court Because
The Bridgeport City
Council Failed to Act
.BRIDGEPORT. June 3.——-,Without
waiting for the recommendation of
Cl ty Attorney A. L. DeLaney. or the
decision of the Common Council
with regard to the payment of his
bill of 835,000 for legal services in
connection with the Bridgeport Brass
cenlpany certificate of error test suit.
lodged with the council Monday
night, Attorney John A. Cornell,
counsel for Tax Collector Edward A.
Drew yesterday {ltd suit against the
city.
Cornell had previously instituted
action against the city to collect
About 5700 in miscellaneous legal cx-
p'enses involved in the certificates of
error case. He filed an amended
complaint yesterday, including the
$35,000 counsel fee claim.
Still taking the offensive while
city otllcialsm'ere recovering from
the broadside, in the form of the
session, Cornell also filed in Super.
ior court a formal motion for a dis-
closure of the city's defense as to
why the bill should notbe paid. he
said yesterday afternoon. '
Drew's counsel is anxious to have
immediate action taken on his toes.
and. in view of the apparent delay-
ed action by the city. he has taken
the matter to the courts. The motion
for disclosure will come up at Fri-
day's Superior court short calendar
session, he said.
Mayor Behrens, claiming he has
no knowledge of how attouleys set
values on their services, refused to
comment on the $35,000 asked by
Cornell.
In discussing his refusal to repre-
sent Drew in tile certificate case.
City Attorney DeLaney declared that
he has consistently claimed since the
question of certificate illegality came
up. that. the city having been an in-
nocent party in the certificate of err-
or practice should not seek to create
a situation by which it would take
advantage of the other'innocent par-
ties inv oived.
As an argument that the bill is
reasonable. is was pointed out that
the Legislature ordered that State's
Attorlf’ey Arnon A. Ailing. of New
Haven county. and Representative
George, Sturges, of Woodbury, be
paid $17,000 for comparatively min-
or legai work. consisting of making
a formal demand on the City of
Waterbury to pay to the state a cer-
tain sum. comput’ed by these attor-
neys, which was claimed to have
been overpaid that city in its school
enumeration grant.
