They Want Our Money

ut is to be doubted whether the
people Of Europe are SO sensitive
about their ruins as some would have
us believe. Unless European charac-t
ter has been changed beyond all be-
lief by the experiences of war, it Is
more than likely that the American
tourist will be as eagerly welcomed as
of yore. Just now, no doubt. he isn't
in any great demand, as Europe has
other things to think about than
gathering in the tourists change; the
tourist would be in the way. eating
scarce food, utilizing scarce fuel, and
in general being a liability instead of
an asset. Europe isn't so much in
need Of money now as OF the things
money will buy. and the tourists
money isn't as valuable as m
he would consume.
But that will all change shortly.
Before the war the United States
could be counted upon to spepd $780,
900, 900 a year in Europe, aNfact so
we'll known that the tourist was al
ways a factor in any calculations of
international business, trade balances.
'etc., in which the United States was
involved. The American tourist was
one of Europe's best industries. and
in the various devices to get his
money. These enterprises will be in
full blast as soon as they can be re-
established. OF that there can be
little doubt.
The European is no sentimentalist
Life at the best in Europe is a little
too harsh for the majority Of the
any expensive notions. They need the
money, and the best little providel
has been the American tourist, with
his Indifference to prices. Your
Frenchman, your Belgian, your Swiss
individually r all a canny lot, al
ways willing to turn an honest penny
as everyone knows who has had ex
perience with them. They, r none
the less brave and heroic races, be-
nothing to do with prodigality o,
thrift.
The declaration that Europe doe
not want America to come to tn
~battlefields to satisfy vulgar curl
osity" was very probably uttered b.
a sentimental American who ha
taken a little too seriously to hear
course, and it is altogether likely tina
there will be a discreet refutation o
this idea as soon as tourist travel t
Europe a be restored.
Europe managed to tolerate GU
vulgar curiosity for a good man
years, and it would be strange now il
when Europe will be under the obi
cation to pay US five hundred million
a year interest, she should be to
naughty to take part of it back fror
our tourists. The European is
human being just like the rest Of u
