Mr. WHITE. Exactly; and that was Senator JOHNSON. All right. They had refused to pay it, but they did pay it immediately, substantially, upon the Barco concession being settled. Call it a coincidence if you want to; it is immaterial to me. We can argue any phase of it that we desire; but the fact is that the bankers held up the credit that they were obligated to give. I grant you it was their duty to give it, but they would not give it. Mr. WHITE. That is true. Senator JOHNSON. And they did not give it until the Barco concession was settled. That is true, is it not? Mr. WHITE. That is true. Senator JOHNSON. That is all. Mr. White, may I ask you to have Mr. Caffery here to-morrow morning? I would like Mr. Caffery and Mr. Matthews here to-morrow morning. Mr. WHITE. I will endeavor to get in touch with them, sir. The CHAIRMAN. We will hold a meeting of the full committee at at 10 o'clock in the morning, and then if you will be here at 10.30 we will go on. Senator JOHNSON. Thank you, sir. (Whereupon, at 3 o'clock p. m., the hearing was adjourned until January 27, 1932, at 10.30 o'clock a. m.)
