MAKING DEBTS At RATE
OF S6OO,0O0,0OO A YEAR
William C. Van Antwerp Explains
Financial Obligations of United
States in Europe.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, November IL
The United States is running in Eu-
ropes debt at the rate of about $780,
Antwerp, a governor of the New York
Stock Exchange, in an address here
before the City Club. A large part of
this amount perhaps one-third - is
due, said Mr.. Van Antwerp, to the ex-
penditures of American tourists, who
annually pour into the pockets of Eu-
ropean innkeepers, merchants and the
others who share the receipts from
travellers. a stream of gold amounting
to about two-fifths of the total value
of this country's huge trade balance.
One of the difficulties which confront
ed American bankers when the Euro
pean war upset the finances of the
country. said Mr.. Van Antwerp, was
problem that has not been solved,
and will not be solved in this genera
ton.
Weakness Of Financial Position.
Il REFER" he continued. ito that in
herent weakness in the financial posi-
ton of the United States with reference
to other nations, as represented by our
stupendous debt to Europe. Although
we have normally an apparent credit
balance in trade Of over $5OO,0OO. 900
annually, we have in fact other an
nual international debts of at least
twice that amount, so that our boast
ed trade balance not only is wiped out,
but a balance accumulates against us
which might compel us to export at
least $5O0,00O.000 in gold to pay our
debts each year. This debt grows out
of items which are not included in
the trade balances.
England Demands Payment.
Heretofore. said Mr.. Van Antwerp.
Europe had never collected Its debts
here. having placed the money in
American securities. Owing to the
war. these investments are no longer
being made, and England is demand
ing payment of American debts. Mr.
Van Antwerp said that American
bankers had met the emergency thus
presented with wisdom and resource.
Since the war began" he said, I'VE
have paid or arranged to pay $10S
900. 900, and in the calendar year to
date more than $500, 900. .OOO-a store Of
gold exceeding the entire holdings of
the Bank Of England. No other nation
in the world would have done it; no
other could have done it."
The railroad problem. said Mr.. Van
Antwerp. is a most menacing one. He
asserted that steps must be taken to
tion companies and place them in such
a position that they could earn larger
returns on their investments. Other
wise, he said. I'VE shall face a disaster
which will shake the bedrock of the
nation itself"

United States Investigates
Latin American Neutrality

Inquiry has been set on foot by the
State Department to determine the ex-
tent to which South American coun-
tries have observed neutrality In the
war, especially as regards the use OF
wireless telegraphy. Diplomatic and
consular agents have been instructed to
pursue this inquiry. to see on what
grounds the British and French au-
thorities base their claim that German
ships have been receiving supplies and
information from Chile. Ecuador and
other South American countries.
This charge was first made immedi-
ately following the naval engagement
off the Chilean coast, when 1t was al
legged that information from the shore
to the German war craft had enabled
them to concentrate against the Brit
ish squadron. and that this informa-
tion had been given in violation of neu-
trality laws.
Asked to Use influence.
Secretary Bryan said yesterday the
United States had been asked by the
British and French ambassadors to "use
its influence to insure strict enforce
ment of the rules Of neutrality as
announced by those governments" The
inquiry has been ordered. it is under
stood, as a preliminary to whatever rep
reservations this country may decide to
make to Latin American republics on
the whole broad subject of neutrality.
While the British and French protests
are understood to refer particularly to
local laws on neutrality. 1t is certain these
governments would welcome the extern
sion to South American countries of
rules adopted by the United States to
enforce neutrality upon wireless tele-
graph stations. The attitude Of Ger
many and Austria has not been dis
closed in any official way.
Attitude Of Argentina.
Argentine already has suggested the
advisability of preparing uniform rules
as TO wireless statio'ts to be adopted
by all American countries. The sub
ject has been discussed at the State
Department, but has not met with much
favor The United States government,
following traditional policy. prefers to
keep free of general agreements or
treaties. 1t believes each country
should proceed independently, although
all work on parallel lines in framing
regulations.
This attitude. however, does not mean
that the request Of the British and
French ambassadors will not be COM
close departures from the true spirit
of neutrality by southern republics.
1t was intimated that in such event
the influence of the United States would
he promptly eXerted upon Latin Ameri-
can states in order that full conformity
obtained and no basis left for threats
by belligerents of punishment for ma
tions which failed in the strict observ-
ance of their obligations.
