D. S. WILL BE GREAT CREDITOR NATION DENVER, Col., Sept. 21.—Other nations probably will owe the United States nearly $9,000,000,000 at the end of the war if it should come about a year hence, John E. Rovensky, of New York, told the bankers assembled here today in the national convention of the American Institute of Bankers. Mr. Rovensky is vice president of the National Bank of Commerce, of New York.

The world now owes the United States about $5,766,000,000, Mr. Rovensky said and he estimated that this would be increased within a year by about $3,000,000,000.
