It is argued that loen, especially if 1t had a Canadian endorsement would be quickly taken up by investors, and re- move the danger that American se- curities owned in Europe would be forced onto the American market in such quantities that they could not be cared for easily without q break in the market. That would make the holders of similar securities in this country free to engage in new enter prises and to improve old ones, which would create additional home markets for manufactured goods.
