WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE


 Frank 4 Vanderlip in Boston the other day James J. Hill in a public communi- cation few weeks ago, and others have with emphatic statement referred to the fact that the opportunity which has come to the United States so suddenly carries with it relatively as great obligation. This thought MT. Warburg, speaking off cially as well as personally, presented to the people of Argentina. He is of the opinion that so heavy have been the en croa achments upon the worlds saving and reserve power (not including the United States) that Europe will for a long term of years be unable to resume the relation she held before the war toward other na tions. This was the relation of the financier. But other nations must find the means wherewith to make good the loss of Europes assistance. These means can be furnished by the United States and by no other nation. This means, according to MT. Warburg, that this country must, to a substantial extent, make the place of the European nations as the worlds S bankers,
 Within the past year there have been many expressions indicating doubt about the ability or necessity of the United States to assume this relation to other nations. Those who are advocating in- dustrial preparedness have frequently spoken of the necessity of such thorough preparation as will make it possible to assume this responsibility. While Mr Warburg is a warm advocate of indus trial preparation. nevertheless he as- sllmes that the United States will be both willing and able to accept to the full ex- tent this responsibility. His is the first authoritative statement upon this subject from any one who occupies high official position, one who is of the small group in whose hands are concentrated the con- trol of the federal reserve banking sys- tenn In the financial district, it is be- lieved that it will be accepted without dispute as correct.
 Two points in his address that are deemed of consequence and are new are, first the probable amendment to the banking law that will permit banks of the United States to enter the South Amer .can field and, second, the explanation made by him of the reason why business men of the United States have not given more attention to developing trade with Latin America. That is due, he said, to the fact that the tremendous pressure and volume of war orders have almost completely occupied the attention of busi- ness men.
