Comment
on Business
BY BOERSIANER-

Inc continued fall In foreign ex-
change and the progress of the Edge
bill in Congress are~curiousIv con-
current. If the latter soon overtakes
tha Prmer, all well. A definite So
luton OF the foreign credits problem
nave been found. Meanwhile.
members Of the International Com
mercial and Financial Commission
are not pleased with the erroneous
impression that they are here for the
sole purpose Of negotiating a loan
or loans.
The views OF the French delegates.
may be thus compositely put:
we are here on your invitation.
Inc ioea or commercial and fnan-
cial conference was yours, not ours.
We came to discuss economic reIa
tions' Which are OF as much interest
to you as us; possibly they are more
vital to you. Since you are the
creditor and we the debtor: since
the war has put you in a position
where foreign trade-exports-m
lncomparably more to you now than
before the war. For several wears
at least your sales abroad must tilt
the balance between prosperity and
the reverse.
"Waiving all sentimental consid-
erations-humanity sympathy with
your allies, etc, etc.-the strictly
Consideration -nuSt imnel
you to put US on our feet. We in no
sense hlnt at charity. or indeed at
any form of indulgence. We are
ready to pay-and pay well-for a
ii1t which Is internationally essen
tial.
France. Italy and Belgium need
and VIII need for. say, two years
everything you can ofrer, from food.
stuffs to money. and for these r.-
quirements we are ready to negotiate
a sound business basis.
"A loan of about $4,000 600 ono
should suffice. moneywise, for France,
Italy and Belgium. We are willing
to pay good interest and can assure
you OF repayment of the principal in
ten years. Our combined govern
ments Will guarantee the loan: or. II
you prefer, each government will
guarantee the loan separately. II
Great Britain will indorse the note
so much the better, we suppose: IL
not, we can satisfy you otherwise.
please do not forget we are the
victors, not the vanquised. Even
as loser of the war of 1870 France
emerged triumphant commercially
and financially. Now, with so much
more territory-including those fine
provinces, Alsace and L6rraine-witb
her prestige and power Immensely
France should be a highly
desirable borrower.
1--WE recognize that your Govern
ment. as such, cannot consistently
be the leader; neither can your hanks
be expected to finance us. But the
American people can furnish the
money, and i have no doubt will do
so If the proposition is presented as
it should be. from a purely CONNER
cial aspect
THE idea of loan, mark we'll is
merely coincidental with our visit
here. 1t had been submitted to you
from us in Europe, in any event, had
we not been invited by you to attend
these conferences; assuming that you
yourselves had not first proposed
loan, by seeing the mutual necessity
Of it."
