Aldrich Says
Credit is as

Senator Discusses Financing of Ex-
port Trade in His Minneapolis
Speech.

MINNEAPOLIS. Nov Ex-senator Aid
rich Friday was the principal guest at a
MONDAY luncheon and at an evening dinner,
both given under the auspices OF the bank
ers' organization and both taking place at
the Minneapolis club.
At the midday meal the subject Of con-
Aderation was the necessity for increased
sums Of money with which to handle the
grain crops of the northwest Senator Aid
rich wa, told that from $50 900 TO $40 900, 81
900 was sent west annually from Mime
apolis and St. Paul during the crop moving
period and that ordinarily this money did
not return until next yeer.
The fact was brought out that after the
paric OF 1907 there was especial difficulty
in getting the money returned. DR. Decker
who presided, stated that it was withheld
until the bankers OF Minneapolis and St
Paul made an appeal to their brethren Of
Chicago to stand be hind them in securing
a return the next year OF the money to
the various localities.
This assurance received the cash came
pouring in in the usual volume
Another evidence" remarked Mr. Aid
rich, that credit is as good as cash"
IL. was brought out that one of the great
difficulties the bankers Of the northwest
have is in handling foreign exchange, in
which many Of the mills deal. One of the
speakers declared that after the panics Of
1898 and 1907 business had come to almost
a standstin becasue of the difficulty in
handling the foreign paper. This, he said,
was true, Notwithstanding wheat had
dropped to . point where It could have
been milled and the product utilized to
bring back to the United States the money
which was needed so badly.
Both in the day and the evening meetings
the senator discussed meetings OF inter-
national exchanges, in connection with the
credit systems of other countries. He de.
olared that of the two thousand million
dollars worth of goods which we send out
of this country every year 30 per cent is
financed by foreign banks.
Now" he added, I'VE are becoming such
a creditor nation and the men who come
here are growing to be so prosperous that
in another generation do not know where
you are going to find your borrowers. l
think at any rate that we can have a much
more satisfactory credit organization with
reference to our foreign business than now
exists.
"The time will come when the banks of
the United States, 1 trust, will do this
business and make the profit. instead of
permitting foreign institutions to do So"
