is now higher than normally and Will

that American business men with

portunities which are at hand for a
very large export of American com

Lewis p. Franklin set forth his reason
for believing that the termination OF

triumph of the allies, would in the
course of a short time be followed by
very great investment by Europe in
American securities. There would soon
be released for investment about w.
OOO. 0Oe. 900, because this large sum
would, in the event OF the triumph OF
the allies, no longer be needed each
year for maintaining military expen-
ditures and naval armaments. The
conditions would be favorable for
very rapid accumulation of surplus
capitaI. and Great Britain and the con-
tinent OF Europe would inevitably be-
come very heavy purchasers of Amer
