the Laurentic's decks were blasted

for the divers. On June 20, the re-

Gold Brought Up.
The first bucket sent up contained
only copper pennies and a few silver
coins. Then for several days, bucket

gold bars, each worth more than So

dumped on the deck of the Racer. The
first of these bars brought lusty cheers
from the crew Of the salvage ship, but
tossing fortunes about soon came to
be merely another form OF manual la

Most Of the gold bars were 9 inches
long, 2 inches thick and 4 inches wide

The Racer carries eight divers.

NEEDS OF ENGLAND

(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
New York, July 25 To pool Eu-
ropes needs of credit and commodi
ties on the one hand and to pool
Americas resources to meet them IS
plan suggested by James S. Alex
ander, president of the National Bank
of Commerce OF New York for re-
habilitating European countries and
enabling them no reconstruct their
war-stricken industries.
Mr.. Alexander is member Of a
committee recently formed here to
Investigate methods for supplying Eu'

during the reconstruction period
This committee was formed upon the
suggestion Of Henry P. Dawson ana

sources asserts Mr.. Alexander .
"That is, Americas resources should

great, centralized credit organiza-
tion, with extensive powers Of CO.
ordination. This may sound like an
ideal plan stated in sweeping terms
but | think the detailo can he worked
ont in practical concrete form.
There seems to be no existing ma
chinery adequate to do so. Therefore.
a special instrumentality must be set
up probably in the form Of n great
credit corporation with capital enough
to handle transactions of size that
would be involved, transactions rep
resenting not merely the business OF
individual concerns but the combined
requirements of nations.
"A necessary step would seem to
be that surveys be made Of the COM
modify needs OF the nations OF Eu-
rope, that is, an estimate Of how
much sopper, steel. cotton. wheat and
other supplies would be required for
Belgian and also for the other need
full countries.
"The supplies available in America
are great but they are not so great
as to meet unlimited and unbalanced
demands. Therefore there should be
judicious rationing Of our commod-
tiles among he nations requiring them
in accordance with heir needs.
I'm addition to this rationing and
allocation of commodities. there is
the question of establishing adequate
credits in this country to be consid
cred. The necessary credits will be
great so that they must be carried to
the investing public Of the whole
country in the form Of bonds or de.
bentures.
Because Of the deferred maturities
of these debentures, the banks are
not to be expected to absorb them

There will have to be an appeal to
the general public on the grounds of
a safe and lucrative investment and
for the sake Of humanity" Mr.. Alex
ander pointed out that this would be
a means of maintaining the business
prosperity and integrity of America
and Of protecting Americans from un.
sound investments in European Sc
curities.
"The security behind these deben-
lures should make them almost equa.
to government bonds in point of
safety" Mr.. Alexander said "Thev
must be based on everything i'll tho
way Of collateral that Europe is able
to offer. The individual European
buyer must be prepared to give gem
oral mortgage upon his entire assets.
His loan should be further endorsed
by consortium of banks in his own
country, reinformed where possible
by governmental guarantees. Thus
every debenture sold TO an American
investor would have behind 1t equal
security consisting of the pool of all
the collateral of weak concerns or
nations individually by the American
investor; neither would the strong be
allowed to monopolize the benefits"
Mr.. Alexander declared that sufi-
cient credits must be extended to
meet the full requirements either Of
Europe as whole, of the nations of
Europe, or of the individual indus
tries. The full needs OF Europe must
be ascertained and met he said. and
this would make imperative an eco
nomic survey of Its requirements.
Credits supplied should be made
available not to the nations Of Eu-
rope as such he added but to the
specific interests within the nations,
properly co-ordfnated, that is, to in
dustries manufacturers. transporta.
ton lines and even to municipalities
requiring funds for reconstruction.
To put HIS plan into operation Mr.
Alexander said there would have to
be "this scientific survey Of Europe's
needs" willingness OF individual In
terests in Europe to coordinate their
demands, to furnish satisfactory COL
lateral and to pay American rates
rather than European rates on loans
made by the proposed American cor
poration.
From the American point Of view
he said. "this plan is pred'cated on
the willingness of American produc-
ers and manufacturers to coordinate
their selling plans, forming. commod-
ity groups and permit the ALLEGATION
OF their products to places ard in
amounts according to need. Another
factor is the willingness of the amer
ican public to buy the debentures at
