to gain excellent understanding of the
 meaning that lies behind this first world transaction upon great scale, the largest of it's kind any nation has ever taken, in which the United States is now en- gagged.
 One of the conspicuous features asso-
 ciated with these negotiations Is the gen
 eral acknowledgement of tho debt of the
 country as well as the English and
 French commissioners. together with the
 American bankers, owes to MT. Hill and
 to some extent to Mr. Higginson. MT.
 Hill Is one of the rare exceptions among men who are esteemed leaders in great af- fairs who Is not afraid to speak frank ly and freely and for publication. MT. Higginson of Boston. not so well known to the public as Is MT. Hill. has a like Hills statement. as published originally in the Wall Street Journal, Is clear exposition of the fact that whie in terms the United States may be lending several hundred millions to England and to France, nevertheless, In fact, the United States is lending these millions to Amer lean farmers, manufacturers and mer- chants who have been and are still ex- porting American commodities, for 1t Is with these millions that payment for the commodities is to be made. Fundamental ly. the transaction, as Mr. Hill points out, does not differ from that in which a merchant Is engaged who having as general thing paid for his purchases in cash and who finds that he needs some accommodation or credit in order to take care of other purchases obtains this accommodation either at his bank or from his creditors. Not one of the great bank CTS on either side who are engaged in this negotiation has made such exposition of the purpose of the transaction as MT. Hill. MT. Higginson and two or three others have done. That, however, is not to be a cause for wonder since the bank CTS have been intensely absorbed with minds concentrated upon the principle and the details of this transaction. MT. Hill Is regarded as having clearly inti- mated that the negotiation of this loan will supplement other healthfu impulses so greatly that we may confidenty look for an expansion. not too rapid, not spec ulative in the narrow meaning of that term. in American business life. It can safely be reported that the leading in- tellects in our banking and business life are prepared for speedy denomination of the fact that at last American business by that domestic trade-has been thoroughly quickened
