United States Able TO Loan
Allies $4,000, 100000 For War

without making any impression upon
the financial situation IN this country
and at the same time carry on our own
war measures.
ITO put the Immediately available
amount into round figures I believe
We could spare five billions without
noticing It seriously.
THAT amount would be only 2ik
per cent. OF our resources.
And believe that sum as a loan
10 the Allies would be sufficient to
end the war under the present condi-
tions. Consider that it is one-fourth
Of the entire war debt OF England at
this time With that in mind. II can
be readily seen that it would throw
the balance in favor Of the Allies and
bring peace.
"In banking circles a loan OF that
size in view OF the present state OF
affairs is looked upon as peace insur-
ance' Before many years il will save
us five times that amount.
With gold flowing into this coun-
try increasingly for the past two years
we have become the bankers of the
world. II is fairly impossible to com
prehend the power of the gold piled
up in this country.
"ln it lies the power 20 put an end
to this war quickly"
With talk of huge loans in the air,
the banking houses are already mob.
ilizing their resources in preparation
TO unloose the power OF money in case
the need arises.
In banking circles IL is said an al
most unlimited credit to the Allies for
ships, munitions, foodstuffs would be
the form of such a loan. The money
would remain physically in this coun.
try.
