DISCUSSES FOREIGN EXCHANGE
James S. Alexander Says Return to Gold
Basis IN Europe and Return to Trade
Equilibrium Is Needed.

excess one way or the other was set
tied by shipments of gold.
The foregoing states in general
terms what normally took place in the
foreign exchange market, ignoring
many technical details. which. how
ever. do not alter the main thought
War Change. Situation.
The war. however. has materially
changed the situation. In the first
place. while there have been huge in
creases in our exports to Europe. there
have been great decreases in our i'm
ports from Europe. There has. there
fore. come into the foreign exchange
! market a greater volume of checks
and drafts on Europe than European
drafts on America. resulting in a far
greater supply of foreign exchange
in this market than there is a de-
mand for on the part of America is
having remittances to make abroad.
| AS always happens-in the case of
any commodity when supply exceeds
demand. prices of the foreign ex-
! change fell. The depreciation of for
! eign exchange in this market. there
| fore. is merely normal expression
! of the law of supply and demand.
During Europe's war purcha ses
! from US before Americas entry into
| the war. foreign exchange on Europe
! was kept from depreciation to present
| levels by the great volume of gold
she sent US III cash 1qulodtlOn OIL
her adverse balance. utnil she sent
about all the gold she could spare.
| At this point America entered the
war and government credits were ex-
tended to our allies. serving to keep
| a large volume of foreign exchange
for Europe's purchases out of the
| market. Drafts and checks which
| would otherwise have come into the
market during this period were. in
| effect funded in a consolidated long
| time credit. This postponed the de-
! probation.
| The extension of government cred
| 1t. however. has ceased. and there is
4 nothing now to prevent foreign ex-
J change from coming into the marke
| in greater supply than there is de-
| mand for. due to the continuing ex-
cess OF Europe's purchases from us
| over her sales to US.
Otherwise Deprecated.
| I'm addition to this. exchange on
| Europe is further deprecated by The
| fact that foreign currencies are de-

| The question as to what will cor

| on general principles without any at
tempt to prophecy. Foreign exchang.

. restoration of the gold standard in
Europe rcorrects the depreciation OF
European currencies. and until the

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. December l3.-Restora-
ton Of an approximate equilibrium of
imports and exports between the United
States aand Europe and a return of
European currencieS to a gold basis are
needed before foreign exchange will re-
turn to normal basis, according to
James S. Alexander. president of the
National Bank of Commerce. and an
authority on foreign trade.
Mr.. Alexander. officer and director of
many important banking institutions,
who served IS chairman Of the commit
tee on credit and finance at the inter-
national trade conference at Atlantic
City, and who is chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the national commit
tee on European finance. was asked to-
day by the Associated Press to reduce
to plain terms the highly complicated
international business problem present.
ed by the present condition of foreign
exchange.
Mr.. Aiexnnder'~ Statement
He prepared statement in which he
explained that foreign exChInt:a is =
commodity and the present demoralized
deprecia ton in rates for sterling and
other European exchanges is a normal
expression of the law of supply and de-
mand. The statement follows:

problems in relation of exports and i'm
ports between America and Europe. The
problem may be simply stated as fol-
lows:
when exporters sell to foreign
buyers they draw checks. drafts. etc.
on those foreign consfgnees or their
banks for the amounts due These
bills are drawn in foreign money,
preponderantly pounds sterling-that
is. on houses in London. long the
world international clearing house.
Americans drawing these bills sell
them in the foreign exchange mar
ket for what they will bring, which.
under normal conditions, fluctuates
within narrow limits of face value.
The total volume of such checks and
drafts coming into the foreign eX-
change market constitutes the sup.
ply of foreign exchange in existence
at that time. The foreign exchange
market consists of foreign exchange
houses whose function is to buy ex-
change. say in New York. on Lon
don and send it there for collection
or the establishment of balances.
supply and Demand Discussed.
Ordinarily. at the same time.
Americans are selling goods to for
eigners, foreigners are selling goods
to Americans, who therefore have re-
mittances to make abroad. They
therefore buy from the foreign ex-
change dealers drafts or checks
against the balances those dealers
have established abroad through the
purchase of foreign exchange. Thus,
while American exporters sell for
eien exchange. American importers
buy foreign exchange. The one ere
ates the supply; the other creates the
demand.
Normally this supply and demand
were about equal because the total
volume of goods and services SOLO 70
Europe about equaled the total VOL.
