AMERICA NOW THE LARGEST CREDITOR IN WHOLE WORLD

Denver, Col, Sept. 20 Other nations probably will owe the United States nearly s9,OO0, ,00O, GOO at the end of the war If it should come about, a year hence, John F. Rovensky, of New York, told the bankers assem- bled here yesterday in the national convention of the American Institute of Bankers. Mir Rovensky is vice president of the National Bank of Commerce, of New York
 The world now owes the Unite'd States about S5.765 1000, 900, MT. FI,- VanSky said and he estimated that this would be increased within a year by about $?,OOO, 900, 900.
 Mir, Rovensky reached these con- lcusions by an interesting analysis. When the war began the United States net debt to the world was about $3,5OO, ,O00, 900. The United States paid annually to foreign countries a . net amount of S5O0, 900, 600 in interest on debt, freight charges, remittances to foreign latbrers, expenditures of American tourists, insurance pre- miums and sunldry items
 After the beginning of the war the United States repaid Its debt to for
 
 chasing American securities held abroad. Tt is probable that our net debt to foreign countries was practi- 'cally extinguished about two years ago" declared MT. Rovensky
 During the war, up to July 1, 1918, the United States exported merchan- disc In excess of it's imports to the ex- tent of about $1O, 900, ,0O0, ,OO0 In return hn T1tf SEnNo its Allies and other foreign countries about S,50O, 900, 1t received Amer lean securities to the amount of about $2,O00, 900 and SHOOK. .OOO, 900 in gold; a total of $1O, 500, 900, 900.
 Mir. Rovensky estimated that after the war the United States would receive from foreign nations annually about $450, 000, 900 in interest on it's loans; instead of having to pay about Sl75,0O0O0O annually in interest as it did before the war. Against this the~e would be charged items of pay ment to foreign countries amounting to $325000,000, leaving a net annual Income to the United States of about $175, ,00G, ,00O,s00, To this added an an nal net tra1e balance in favor of the United States of about $4aO, ,0OO, ,OO0 This made a total of credits annually piling up in favor of the United States of s665, ,OOO, 900.
 MT. Rovensy intimated that the United States would find it prof1ta bIe after the war to leave it's $g,OOO, ,O00,- 900 investment abroad and to reinvest the income from it by purchase of securities of foreign railways, steam ship companies, manufacturing, min ing and other enterprises

To STATEMENTS
AS TO LOYALTY
AND PATRIOTISM

In justice to myself, and those who
supported me in my campaign for
Circuit Court Clerk in the primary,
and for others, who may not have
been properly informed, / deem it
proper to make statement in regard
to certain charges brought against me
as to my loyalty to my country and
my patriotism.
entered the race for Circuit Court
Clerk in good faith and in compliance
with the requirements of the Execu-
tive Committee. After hard fought
race, / won the nomination for this
office by good majority without re-
sorting to any unfair means or ex-
pending one cent of money to secure
lit.
During my campaign, and since,
certain of my enemies, and others
who are not my enemies, but who
have probably been misinformed,
have circulated reports questioning
my loyalty to my country. / have
passed these reports heretofore in
silence, thinking and believing that
the majority Of the people knew
them to be untrue, and believing
that with the end Of the campaign
their circulation would stop. But
since my nomination the circulation
of these reports has continued, and
while it aggrieves me greatly to think
that anyone would question my 10y
atty to a country that has been of SO
much worth to me, in justice to my

word or act, upon the part of myself
or people, of disloyalty. Ny ances-
tors fought in the Revolutionary War

its history. While | am Of German
extraction, it is four hundred years
ago since my people were banished
from Germany into Holland. This
was during the Reformation. From
Holland they came to Pennsylvania,
and from Pennsylvania some of them

ago. And while am of Dutch de-
scent and raised in an old Dutch set

be loyal to my country. / have at

Dutch Meeting House with other
Dutch people. have talked Dutch
and sang Dutch, but this has never in
the least affected my loyalty or de-
tracted from my patriotism, and the

opponents. I have resorted to pub
lie print only in this one instance FOR
the purpose Of iustifying my conduct
and relieving the minds Of the people
of any attempted stigma which the
reports of those unfriendly to me
might have cast upon me. do not
mean to answer any more charges
through public print which may be
brought against me. | am willing
that any charge which anyone may
circulate against me as to my integ-
rity, my character, my patriotism, 81
