THEY WANT OUR MONEY.
European Nations Will Accept Our
Tourists as Soon as Possible.

j is to be doubted whether the people
of Europe are so sensitive about their
ruins as some would have us believe
Unless European character has been
changed beyond all belief by the expe-
riences 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 de-
mand, as Europe has other things to
think about than gathering in the tour
nst S change; the tourist would be in
the way, eating scarce food, utilizing
scarce fuel, and in general being a La
| bility instead of an asset. Europe ism t
so much in need Of money now as of
the things money will buy, and the
tourist s money ism t as valuable as the
wealth he would consume.
/ But that will all change shortly Be
fore the war the United States could be
counted upon to spend $100,000,000 a
year in Europe, fact so well known
that the tourist was always a factor in
any calculations Of international bust
ness, trade balances, etc, in which the
United States was involved. The Amer
lean tourist was one of Europe's best
industries, and millions upon millions
| were invested in the various devices to
get his money These enterprises will
be in full blast as soon as they can be
re-cstablshed. OF that there can be
little doubt
The European is no sentimentalist
Life at the best in Europe is little toe

permit them to indulge in any expensive
notions. They need the money, and the
best little provider has been the Ameri
can tourist, with his Indifference t.
prices. Your Frenchman, your Belgian
your Swiss, individually are all a canny
lot, always willing to turn an hones
penny, as everyone knows who has haC
experience with them. They are none
the less brave and heroic races, becaus,
bravery and heroism have nothing to dt
with prodigality or thrift.
The declaration that Europe does no
want America to come to the battle

very probably uttered by a sentimental
American who has taken a little to-
I seriously to heart the general tone o
international discourse. and it is alto
