While the so potent officers have been motoring up and down the land, their headquarters, the Inter-Allied Military Control Commission at Berlin, has hummed with the click of typewriters, and reverberated to the tread of generals.

Local editors in every capital hastily picked a financier of foreign nationality as the documents' author. British editors picked signatory Hjalmar Schacht, President of the German Reichsbank. Germans favored signatory Montagu Norman,*** Governor of the Bank of England. Frenchmen were sure that signatory John Pierpont Morgan was at the bottom...
