Normal Conditions
Will Reverse Trade
Balance, Bank Holds
Excess of Imports Over Elk.
ports Will Be Beneficial
TO U. S., National Bank
of Commerce Contends

When conditions in Europe approach
normal, the United States will have an
'unfavorable balance" of trade, and
should be glad Of it, according to the
June issue of "The Commerce Month
ly," issued by the National Bank of
Commerce.
.Tn the long rum" it says, "our pres
ent favorable balance of trade must
come to an end as normal conditions in
Europe are restored As a conse-
quence of our creditor position, our in
creased shipping and the extension Of
American banking activities into for
eign fields, we must in the long run
have an 'unfavorable' balance of trade.
"This is a good, rather than a bad,
prospect. Three fallacies have been
uppermost in the minds of those who
fear it: % that an unfavorable bal
ance of trade must be met by a CORE
spending export of gold; (2) that an
unfavorable balance of trade deprives
domestic producers of q necessary part
of the home market, and CD that the
war has so expanded our domestic pro
ductlon that we cannot absorb it at
home, and must therefore resort to
unusual methods to market the excess
abroad. No fear could be more idle
than the first. We have too much gold.
Further, creditor country with an
'unfavoreble' balance Of trade is in an
especially strong position to control
hn
Britain before the war. The second
fear is likewise idle. The prospective
unfavorable balance of trade is mere
ly the other side of an increase in our
national money income. The third fear
rests on a yet more fundamental
fallacy. general overproduction is
impossible. Maladjustment, rather than
reproduction, is our problem-ex-
cessive productive capacity in some
lines, and underproduction in others.
Production and consumption, if rightly
balanced, expand together. Great pro-
ducers can afford to be great consum-
ers.
"The remedy proposed by some as a
means of averting an unfavorable bal
ance Of trade is extensive foreign in
vestment, putting foreigners in funds
with which to buy our products. This,
in any case, could have temporary re-
suits only, since it would increase at
compound interest the debt Of the out
side world to us, and make even greater
the ultimate excess of goods coming to
US. For the next few years extensive
foreign investments are necessary, but
for reasons Of a different kind. 1t is
necessary for us to continue lending to
Europe and sending an excess of ex-
ports TO her, because of her present
weakness and exhaustion, but not be-
cause of our need for market. Our
own domestic market has become a
richer and better market in precise
proportion to our increased producing
power and to our income from existing
foreign inYestments

an enormous amount of work done
with it all, perhaps because Of it.
1t is a current notion that the
great Wall Street man is inaccessi-
BILE. That is sometimes true. But
the inaccessibility is not in proper
ton to greatness. Many of the best
known bankers in Wall Street have
their desks out in the open, where
all the world may see and where no
attendant may deny their presence.
Others have private Offices, usually
furnished simply. A soft green car
pet suggests an atmosphere of re-
pose and quiet; there is plain,
massive desk, of mahogany or Cir
cassian walnut, and high panels to
correspond. But one banker, who is
not the greatest of all, has private
offices which suggest photograp phs of
the suite of the ex-Czar at the Win
ter Palace.
In clothes is a similar variety.
You would expect to find the great
banker expensively dressed. But
one fnancier whose name is
household word" gets his suits
ready-made at a we'll known cloth
ing house, nor bothers to have them
altered.
The other day on Wall Street a
reporter caught sight Of fnancier
who ranks perhaps among the first
half dozen of Wall Street. He did
not stand apart from the crowd. He
did not look like the sketch of the
successful man in the magazine ad-
vertisement Of "How l Acquired
Will Power in One Evening"" He
did not look impressive. Moreover,
it was plausible guess that he did
not care whether he looked i'm
pressive or not. He looked rather

man brought up in A~merica-with all
the freedom Of democracy instilled into
him-who suddenly finds himself heir

Having strong views on the govern
