"A SERIOUS BREECH OF INTERNATIONAL COURTESY"

BANKERS SAY GERMANY'S DELAY IN MOURNING WILSON MAY MEAN DEATH FOR WALL STREET LOAN

New York City (JFK+50) On February 8, 1924, the Associated Press reports the delay by the German embassy to participate in the national mourning for former President Woodrow Wilson "has lessened the chance of successful flotation of a loan in Wall Street for the purpose of helping to rehabilitate Germany financially."

This was the opinion of international bankers based here in New York City although they were mum on the actions of the German Embassy publicly.

The bankers do not hide the fact, however, that Germany's delay in regard to the mourning of the late Mr. Wilson is "a serious breech of international courtesy."
