ton, a wage scale three times
the pre-war scale, a demoralized
morale, great difficulty in get
ting foreign exchange to pay for
his raw material, great difficulty
in getting bottoms to ship it,
great difficulty in getting it
transported to him after it ar
rives at the port, must still pro-
duce. But after he produces he
has not the market that can pay,
a market that will give him the
means to go on completing the
industrial cycles of buying more
raw material-paying his labor.
Like a Manufacturing Town.
"Now that is serious, almost
beyond our understanding, be-
cause we have not realized, at
least l hadn't realized, how like
a mere great manufacturing
community Europe is.
Europe has increased its po-
pulation since the Napoleonic
wars from 175,00O,000 to 440,-
100000. Now just think of those
fgures-175, 100000 to 100000
coo! Now Europe did not be-
come any more productive. She
probably does not raise a very
great amount more food than
she did a hundred years ago.
Now how has she fed these peo-
pie? I
"Why, you can just compare
Europe to a New England mill
town. If there was no market
for the product of the mills OF
that town, if you could not sell,
what would happen? Why,
YOU could not continue the indus
trial processes, your people could
not can not earn the wages they
must pay to bring the food into
the town, and they would 60
hungry or they would get out.
"The responsible Minister of
the British Government said to
me that you cannot get the in
dustries of Europe started so
that Europe in time can make
an effective demand upon the
industries of England. The Brit
ish Government will have to get
five or six million Englishmen
Iout of England, and nearer to
the source of food supply.
"It is this fact that we must
grasp; that these industries
must be kept going in these
highly industrialized European
countries if the people are to
live. Take England, the most
thickly populated country in the
world-700 to the square mile.
They have built up that whole
island into an industrial commu-
nifty that can only live by selling
abroad a great part of the pro-
duct of the factories, and with
the proceeds of that export buy
ing more raw material and the
foods for the population.
'Let me tell you a little about
England, England as / see it.
The England that | saw the first
of February was an England on
the very verge of revolution. You
did not get that over here, but

nufacturer needs a foreign Gre
dit. He must have a foreign
credit if his raw material is to
come from abroad.
'Now, what are some Of The
other things that are difficult? ?
He is facing wage situation
two or three times what he wa
ges were in pre-war days. lie is
in a currency situation that is
chaotic. Some of these nations
have a variety of currency at
the present time that is almost
laughable except that it is horri-
bly, serious.
The Starvation Appalling.
''It is a sort of oratorical. eX-
preston that people were starv-
ing. Why, in Austria, Czechos-
lovakia, in much of the Balkan
country, the starvation has been
appalling; will continue to be
appalling, and the people will
face a year from now food 81
tuation worse than they have
faced this Spring, and l say that
on the highest possible authori-
| ty.
"Well, now, why is that? Be-
cause Russia ceased to be pro-
ducer for export; because Ruma-
MIA, which sent 100,000,000 bu-
shells of grain into Europe, has
been swept clean of her work
cattle, was without seed, and
could only plant a part of her
fields; and her Premier told me
this year she would not raise
anything whatever for expert.
All that she hoped to raise was
what would feed her own people.
''The sweeping away of work
cattle or work horses is a very
serious thing. have seen In
Belgium men hitched to a drag,
starting off across long fields,
two men pulling an ordinary
draw. l have seen rows of men
and women spading their great
fields because they did not have
the animals to do the plowing.
"Mr. Paderewski told me that
in Poland, because of lack of
work animals because of lack OF
seed, not over one-third of the
acreage could be planted this
year. So you have got that COM
bination of a lack of production,
and of the paralysis Of transpor-
tation, which, if there was a suf-
Ificient amount Of food at the
ports it could not be moved to
the people.
| 81 was telling you something
of the difficulties of the manu-
facturer, and l got off the track
a little. This difficulty of trans
portation is an extremely real
one. 1t affects the manufactu-
rer in getting his raw material
1t prevents him sending his
finished products. But what
about market for the finished
products /? There is the rub. The
markets of Europe are ravenous
for things, and they have got
nothing with which to pay.

Rip:
tries of those two countries, it
is true, but it is not that devast-
ated distrit that l speak of. 1t
is the idleness all through the
countries where the mailed hand
Of war has been laid upon in
Idustry.
"Now why should a factory
harmed by the war, in the midst
of a continent wanting every
thing incidentally be idle? Why
should there be 100000 people
in England receiving an unem-
ployment weekly dole? Why
should there be in little Belgium
100000 people receiving a week
|ly unemployment wage? Now,
let me try to give you a picture
of the difficulties that a manu-
facturer is under in Europe to-
day in an attempt to start his
factory.
''In the first place his labor
has been dissipated and he faces
the very difficult labor situa-
ton, although he is surrounded
by idleness. The war has had a
bad effect upon the morale of
Ipeople. That is particularly no.
ticeable in Belgium, where for
four and one-half years there
has been partial idleness of peo-
pie supported from the public
purse, and the serious effect
upon the character for the mo-
ment at least upon those people.
But our manufacturer must
have raw material. Probably it
must come from out of the coun-
try. He must have the eXchan-
ge to pay for it. He must have
credit, very likely. Now, I have
came to see these nations from
a new point of view, from a point
of view of what they must have
from outside to sustain life and
go on in more normal course,
and what they have got to pay
for it with.
"Let me picture pair of ba-
lances, into one scale of which
you will put all the things that
a nation must have. In Italy
coal and cotton. In France
cotton and wool, most of the me-
tails. Let us put in the other
balance everything a nation has
got to export. Well, obviously
at the moment, these nations
wanting everything, Industrial
ily disorganized, and nothing to
send out-our scales are out OF
balance.
"Now, what can be done? We
cannot take anything out here
} because presumably we have re-
duced these imports as low as
they can go and have the nation
! live; put more in here, but you
, cannot put more if your indus.
tries are paralyzed. What other
way is there to balance this, and
it has got to be balanced? Il
must be balanced, else things
, cannot be had that are essentia
, to the nations life.
"Well, normally we would put
gold in there, but of course now
: there is no gold that these coun'
tries can spare. What else car
: we put in? Credit, that is one
thing. There are just three
things that will go into this ba
lance to balance these necessary
things that the nation must
, have-goods, gold, creditAant

chants, etc. Said M. Vande
II was in Europe from the 1st
of.February to the 9th of May

first; then l went to France, to
Switzerland, to Italy, to Spain,
back to Paris again; then to Bel
gAlnn and Holland and back to
London. 1t is a fair statement
to say that saw the leading
men in those countries. | met
every Finance Minister. met
many of the Prime Ministers. l
met the leading financiers and
bankers, great employers of la
bor, labor leaders. And what l
have to tell you is not just an
opinion of my own, snatched out
of the. blue sky. 1t is a refiec-
ton, perhaps a composite of the
opinions of the first minds In
Europe. If it were not, would
not dare stand before you and
tell you some of the things that
l am going to.
=" Fears a Catastrophe.
"I want to say right atthe be-
ginning that however black a
background l paint-and it will be
dark---I would not paint it, |
! would not tell the story except
that 1 believe America must
. now it, must comprehend it,
must get it into heart and mind,
BECAUSE we must act; and it we
do act, we can save Europe from
a catastrophe, a catastrophe
that will involve us. That is
why.I feel moved to tell such an
assemblage as this something OF
the conditions that l saw over
there, something of some OF the
consequences that may flow
from those conditions.
Il believe it is possible that
there may be let loose in Europe
forces that will be more terribly
destructive than have been the
fogces of the great war. l be-
lieye we can probably say the
situation from anything as fear
fullas that. If l did not believe
it. | would hesitate to say what
| shall about conditions.
"If l were to try to put into
words what I sum up as the
most essential thing to GRASP
about the situation in Europe
the two words would be para

idleness, there is a lack of pro-
duttion throughout Europe, ano
indeed in England, that you car

difficulty about a resumption OF
work on ordinary peace affairs

made to comprehend that die

there has been devastation. !

You have been told that story
