steer clear of Paris and also TO take
a couple Of equerries to look after him,
but the result was just what the
prince had feared. King George and
queen Alexandra both agreed that his
desire was a most natural one and,
while perfectly harmless, might do him
a lot of good, but the matter never

The war in Europe will probably
bring economic advantages to the
United States. 1t will enable it to
sell its great crops in places which
will give q much greater income
than If there was no war.
Almost every industry will de-
rive NOR or less advantage. Ameri-
can investors and bankers should
get in much profit from the ability
to buy back from Europe great
quantities of securities at attractive
prices in payment for the foodstuffs
and raw material exported from
the United States.
The United States can become, as
it has this week, the worlds great
est market for capital, and If the
American people rise to their OPP
portunity they can do a great deal
to mitigate the disastrous economic
consequences which would other
wise result in many countries from
a great European war.
1t is obvious that for the time
being the monev markets of Europe
will be closed to the demands for
new capital of CsnadA, Brazil. Ar
gcntina, Mexico and other couE-
tries, and at such a time the pres
tige of the United States would be
immensely enhanced if it were to
take the place of Europe and meet
the pressing needs of these bor-
rowing coutries.
1t is possible that the United
States may participate in-the great
loans that will have to be raised in
Europe if almost the whole conti-
nent becomes engaged in. war.
Possibly the participation will be
indirect rather than direct.
For the United States to gain
benefit from the position as tho
wealthiest nation in the world, it is
essential that American investors
should not only have confidence in
the future of their own country,
but also believe that, war or no
war, the world will continue to
progress.
In brief a great war In Europe
will give the United States an OPP
portunity of assuming the post of
world banker, by supplying capital
freely to countries and individuals
in all parts of the globe who need
it and a provide the required Sc
curity. Should the American people
take advantage of the golden OPP
p~ortunity, of assuming the post Of
