BILLION AND
HALF ENOUGH
SAYS HARDING
INTERNATIONAL NEWS sERucr

WASHINGTON. d. C.. June 27-The
financial aid required from America
10 rehabilitate devastated European
countries will not exceed $500. 600
vas the view expressed today by Gov
Harding OF the federal reserve board
Gov Harding gave this figure as his
personal estimate. and IL is just one
half the sum estimated in a recent
issue OF the federal reserve bulletin.
Henry +. Dawson. banker and head OF
the American Red Cross. has estimated
four billion and Frank \ Vanderbilt
former president OF the National City
Bank. upon his return from Europe
recently placed the amount at three
billion.
GOV Harding justlfes his low hgure
upon the fact that in practically all Of
the huge financial undertakings OF the
government during the war it has
been found that the sum required in
the end to carry the project through
successfully had ben surprisingly low
er than that asked for. He recalled
a specific incident where it was
thought 500. 100000 would be needed
and the undertaking was successfully
carried out with but SIS. 900.
The European problem is political
rather than commercial" said Gov.
Harding. We must help the people
Of Europe to help themselves and this
help must be for the greater part in
restoring the normal vorkaday life Of
the people. Machinery and supplies
must be sent from here and every ef-
fort made up the re-adjustment. Our
export trade is now running about
three billion dollars year in our ia
vor Before the war the balance in
our favor was about half a billion
When our exports fall OFF to one
billion in our favor annually. we may
consider ourselves back to normal and
the present high prices will fall of
appreciably."
