That's Where the Big Loss
! Is, BritOn Says,

LONDON. Aug, N.-"One OF the
A0otest causes OF the falling OF the
exchange between America and
Europe is the lack OF revenue from
American tourists. Before the war
Americans touring Europe spent an
average OF $+000O00OO'
Sir George Paish, leading British
economist, well known IN America,
declared this IN an interview with
Universal Service today, Until tour
lists and sightseers again flock to
Europe in full measure spending
money, the exchange will not regain
its normal level" said he
With the revenue derived from
tourists Europe in the past has been
able to pay England for her exports
and she, in turn, has been thus en-
abled to give America gold for pur-
chases made in the United States.
Until the circle is again completed

the exchange will remain low and
uncertain.
