PROBLEMS APPEAR
N new FORMS TO
FINANCIAL WORLD
ADMINISTRATOR Efforts to Re-
Iieve Situation Brought
About by European War Ad-
versely criticized.

New York, Aug so.--The sun to-
morrow In its review OF the financial
situation will say:
obviously II Is yet too early TO gain
any hut the most general idea Of the
intimate effect OF the war upon nnance
and business IN this country or else
where. The financial world is con-
frontcd with an entirely new set OF
conditions which must be met by ex-
trsortinary measures and comment
must be confined to the numerous prob
lens arising day by day. and with the
devis,ng OF means 10 solve them.
In the light OF the innumerabie
en- ergencv measures that have been
suggested st is evident tina. there is
still great deal OF confusion OF
thought az TO the fundamental reason
for the continuance OF the present dead
lock London has acted as the clearing
house for the whole world and the
paralysis ut that center extended i'm
rsealateiy TO practically every country
on the globe. Many emergency suF-
gest!ons for dealing with the local
situation are fmpracticable because
they fall TO take this fact into con-
slderation.
The necessity Of big export Of
feodstufrs from this country 10 order
TO offset the heavy balance Of trade
against us is vital. That sheer neces-
sity must sooner or later compel q
resumption OF the export trade 10 Eu-
rope in foodstufs is plain. Develop

TIE war will he a long one. Every day
makes the food problem for Europe
more pressing and II Is certain that
eventually foreigners nustFts huge
quantities Of foodstuTs from this coun-
try AZ enormously high pricc#.
The eyigencies or the present criais
have caused many suggestions for
government action in financial matters
~ doubtful II not OF n dangerous
nature. The administration has also
shown Hr inclination toward hastv and
Immature legislation that has not
helped confidence. Severe criticism has
been aroused. for instance. by the pro
