Vanderlip Says Foreign Exchange Situation
Can be Righted if America Will Supply
Food and Raw Materials.
EXPORT BUSINESS IS FALLING OFF.
Cure for Disease is for Europe to Produce
More so That She Can Pay for What
She Must Import.

An increase in radical thought IN
America would be engendered by
radical political movements in
Europe. The present situation is
creating idleness and hunger among
the Europeans and those are the two
principal factors in developing Aoliti-
cal unrest.
There Is no cure you can take out
of patent medicine bottle. The
cure Is for Europe to produce more
SO that Europe can pay for what 1t
must import. But, 1t is hardly to the
point to insist that Europe must go
to work, and stop at that Certainly
Europe must work, but it must have
something to work on and raw ma
terials to begin with, and in the
meantime It must have food to. sup
port the people, Just now the peopI6'
iof Austria and other central Euro
pean countries are exhausted and
dying of starvation.
81 doubt the wisdom Of our govern.
nent granting more credits to
Europe. At the same time the credits
that are needed must run for too
long a term to make It feasible for
banks to make the grants. Besides,
our banks have expanded their credit
heA~"AitASS Iva uoAucSLlC requirements
to quite as high point as is safe.
That means the credit should come
from our investment funds, which
have been largely dissipated In the
recent past by our flotations of new
companies. We have great demands
for domestic promotions and for such
work as rehabilitating our railroads
which are now in need or 500 900
cars. Nevertheless, we can at the
same time assist Europe. We can
expand our lending ability very much
by practicing economy and stopping
the present craze for extravagance.
But our investors are not disposed
to adventure into foreign securities.
They can get very high returns from
domestic securities and they lack
understanding and experience In
foreign securities. Such Investments
as they have made abroad haven't
been altogether happy in some In
|stances. The remedy can only come
with realization by our people OF
Europe's extreme need; Of our own
intimate connection with European
affairs and Of the reaction on us Of
any economic breakdown in European
countries.
Investing our funds to help
Europe's recovery the idea would not
be for European governments to float
loans here as they did during the
war. The task is one primarily for
financiers. There should be con-
sortium Of bankers. representing the

copyright 1920 by the United Press ]
NEW YORK. Feb. Crank A
Vanderlip, who first called attention
to Europe's serious economic decline
nine months ago, declared in a state
ment to the United Press today that
the foreign exchange situation can
be righted and Europe can be put on
her feet only IL the Europeans will
only do this, he said, IL America will
terials. The former head OF the
famous National City bank of New
York added that America can easily
undertake the work Of rehabilitation.
The first step. he said, was the most
important, though 1t need not be a
large one.
"A billion dollars will 50 very
long way" Mr.. Vanderlip stated, in
starting Europe on the way to pro-
duction. But, 1t must be q billion
dollars spent for food and raw ma
terials. 1t must not be billion dol
lars spent on any financial rehabili-
tation.
This is the first move necessary
to help the exchange rates recover.
The present decline in exchange
tends now to halt our exports. 1t is
conceivable the halt might occur
very sharply. To a considerable ex-
tent, ships are now going to Europe
without full cargoes. Last year we
exported eight billion dollars worth
of goods and the trade balance in
our favor was four billions. In pre-
war days trade balance of 100000.
600 for us was about the top figure.
These figures indicate that if the
halting Of our exports goes far
enough 1t will result in jar that
will pile up cotton, agricultural pro.
ducts, and to some extent manufac.
tured goods. l do not believe such a
situation would result in any serious
unemployment for US. There might
be some thrown out OF work while a
process OF readjustment went on, bun
very little hardship would follow
Our consuming capacity Is greatly In
excess of our present consumption
ut ds rather psychological that we
should feel a continuation of the
present decline in exchange. The
situation now facing us means the
people on the other side are unable
to pay for what they vitally need and
that their economic life has become
disorganized. Economic disorganiza.
tion in Europe must have an unfavor.
able influence to our own affairs. II
over there political disorders occurred
they would affect our tt lights here.
Just as we have cons erable pub.
lie opinion sympathetic to Russia SO
might there be a body sympathetic
to any political disorders in Europe
