not forget for an instant what terribly important issues depend upon the success of the Dawes scheme.

Moreover, if the Dawes scheme works the payments will be made in such a way as not to cause earthquakes in the German currency. The Dawes Report offers the best opportunity that Germany has ever had, or is ever likely to have, to put her financial house in order. It is all so clear that France and Germany must know it. We do not believe that we are now going to be cheated by madness.
