Coz, Mr.. Morrow declared. He exclaimed
that this indicated that the first demand
upon America for the goods required by
a world endeavoring to put itself back
upon a peace footing is fully as great as
the demand which war itseit made.
II believe. however, that the turn has
come" he continued. II believe that the
exports from the United States to Eu-
rope must gradually diminish and that
the imports into this country from
Europe must gradually -ncr e. Neither
of these results should be deplored.
"At this time when we are complaining
of the high cost of living we should wei
come an increase in our imports of those
things that Enurope can make for us bet
