VANDERLIP'S VIEW
OF BUSINESS ABROAD
nv HOLLAND


New York. March 1S.-CSpeciaL)
Frank a. Vanderlip, in the interview
with him which was published a few
days ago. spoke in detail of conditions
in Europe concerning which the public
were in ignorance but of which the
leading men of finance and some Of
the leaders of industry have already
had knowledge and in private have
much discussed. Mr.. Nanderlip has
been In the past fairly accurate in his
statements rejecting business, finan-
cial and especially banking conditions
Two or three times he has spoken with
monition of conditions of which the
public and. in fact many bankers had
no knowledge. He has advised the
hauling in. of sail. the curtailment of
loans. the preparation for stagnatlon
and Generalization of which there is
no visible proof when he spoke, and lie
has been for the most part accurate IN
his predictions.
Some of his friends think he is more
disposed toward caution. even to
slight pessimism than to an optimistic
view This tendency, however. does
not explain the somewhat gloomy
statement which he made in the inter-
view. He spoke with the authority of
personal investigation. Furthermore
many of the things which he mention
ed as containing elements of serious
peril. even threatening modern civili-
cation. have been known to. leading
Americans for sometime 1t would be
difficult to find leader in the finan-
cial district who IL he were persuaded
to confidential conversation, would
not say that his information from Flu
rope was far from satisfactory and
that unless there were speedy change
conditions there might be as appalling
as they were in the days when the
German armies seemed to be almost
on the verge of victory.
Many of those who have commented
on Mr.. Vanderlip's interview have also
spoken of the highly significant and
monitory speech which was made By
the Secretary of state, Mr.. Lansing. at
an important dinner in France and
made at almost the same time when Mr.
Nanderlip in speaking for publication
so that the American people could
have some understanding of the Euro
pean situation. 1t was observed that
both Mr.. Vanderlip and Secretary
Lansing intimated that something con-
structive. peace procuring, must be
done Immediately II the peril of tho
overthrow of European civilization is
to be averted

MIR. VANDERLIP'S VIEW

Secretary Lansing asserted that II
was vital that two measures be hnme-
diately adopted one being the perfect
ing of the peace treaty and the other
being the providing Of food for Ger
many, which must be done in great
measure by the United States.
Mr.. Vanderbilt it has been observed,
goes much further than Secretary
Lansing did. Our Secretary of state
looked at the condition from the point
of view of an experienced lawyer and
a competent Diplomat. Mr.. Vanderlip.

successful experience as banker, and
of intimate association with some Of
the more important corporate inter-
ests of the United States. looks be-
hind or beyond the prevailing condi-
lions. seeking to find a permanent
remedy. He seems to have discovered
1t in such action as will make possible
a speedy renewal of the production OF
commodities with the promise of pro
duction on so large a scale that thG
needs of Europe. the welfare of the
working classes and ultimately the Sc
curing of sound financial basis may
be obtained
That is the view taken by many OF
the financial leaders 1t is observed
that when they speak of the contem-
plated league of nations they do 80
in the hope that ii will be so constt-
tuted as speedily and greatly to slim
ulate production. 1T is a mistake to
surmise that any men OF influence, at
least In New York are opposed to q
society of nations. On the contrary.
they hope that one may be established
but so written that the United States
can willingly and enthusiastically give
its support to the project Neverthe-
less. they believe that at the present
time there is something more impor-
tant than the establishment of a league
of nations.
They apprehend that n league Of this
kind would be OF little avail unless
there were first established peace
with Germany and an earnest endeavor
to aid Germany in recovering from
some of the economic affects Of the
war Not that there is any fondness
for Germany nor anv disposition to
tighten the sburden OF the obligations
which must be the lot Of Germany be-
cause she brought on the war But &
Is believed to he vital not only to the
permanent peace In Europe, but to
the welfare Of the United States that
Germany be in position to re-establish
herself industrially and economicalIy.
Those who can write the terms of the
treaty of peace can so write them, IL IL
said, that Germany will be powerless
for generations so far as armies, FOR
tresses and other appliances of war
are concerned.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN

How vitality the interests of the
United States are interviewer with Eu-
ropean conditions is evident from the
fact that Mr.. Nanderlip plainly and
Secretary Lansing by intimation re-
gard the peril of a collapse of civiliza-
ton in Europe as something which
will react upon the United states 1t
Will prevent exports. it will put an
end to important financing. it may in

are related to the payment of the
United States of the obligations which
Europe now owes us.

Hens, or Men-Which is Worth Mere?

Which is worth more, a hen or
a man? Some of the Methodist
leaders say that for practical
purposes the hen will have to be
accorded the palm. And the
way of it is this: For many years
past the members of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South,
have given for foreign missions
an average of less than fifty
cents apiece a year. 1t has
been only a few weeks since
that amount was less than the
price of a dozen eggs often
poor eggs too. Imagine a full
grown man standing at the altar
of sacrifice and saying: Lord,
here are a dozen eggs; take
these and evangelize the world. /"
Now, just an ordinary hen
Plymouth Rock, Leghorn, or
just common barn yard will
lay at least a hundred eggs a
year. At that rate the contrib
ution of an averge hen, if devot-
ed to the evangelization of the
world, would be as great as
those of a half dozen average
Methodist men. Somebody says:
''The Lord never put this world
task upon the chickens, but il
might be done more quickly if
we turned over to them the
financial part of it. Certainly
if all the eggs produced in the
next five years by the hens be-
longing to Southern Methodists
were turned into the Centenary
fund, the desired S35, 900. 00
would be provided several times
over.
And the comparison does not
apply to Southern Methodist'
alone. There are a number Of
other denominations whose men
in their gifts for missions, woulC

VICTORY LIBERTY BONDS
BEST OF INVESTMENT.

Atlanta, April 2S-The Victory
Liberty Loan offers the fna
opportunity for American people
to subscribe to the Government
securities of large denominations,
for financing the great war.
Invest now before the books are
closed and be numbered among
the millions of citizens who loan
ed their money to bring the war
to speedy conclusion.
This is the appeal made by
Victory Loan workers through
out the Sixth Federal Reserve
District, by county and district
workers. It's effect is being felt
through an avalanche of SUBJ
scriptions being reported to
headquarters. AS the campaign
advances the gloom which seemed
to have settled over the district
before April Dist is rapidly dis
appearing. Every day counties
are being reported 'over the top"
with a wide distribution of the
securities.
Reports from county chairman
indicate that aside from the
fact that this is the last chance
to subscribe to the Liberty Loan,
the attractive investment feature
of the Victory Loan are bring
ing thousands of sales from un-
expected quarters. People are
beginning to realize that a Govern
ment security paying 81 per cent
interest is not offered every day.
This being the last popular war
loan, the invester does not want
to lose the opportunity to put his
money where it will bring the
largest possible return with the
strongest backing.
The first week of the Victory
Loan campaign is drawing to a
close with a better showing for
the Sixth District than in any
previous drive. While official re-
ports from the Treasury depart
ment do not show up very well,
district officials have information
from county chairmen showing
that this district has placed a
larger proportion of its quota at
this time than at the same period
in previous campaigns.
1t has been surprising to some
chairmen how easy it has been to
sell the Victory Loan. In some
quarter it was thought the
people would not buy again, but
in many instances these very
counties were the first to be re-
ported over.
