Irving Bush in Recent London Address

LONDON.-"The United States Ii

ed by the foreign security market,
simply because American funds are
not available for that purpose" said
Irving 7. Bush of New York, in dag
nosing the exchange situation and the
worlds financial ills at a recent ban
quet at which Sir Auckland Geddes,
minister of national service and re-
construction, presided.
America" Mr.. Bush said lis re-
garded abroad as land flowing
with milk and honey and unlimited
wealth. whereas actually the country's
financial machinery is suffering
from an attack of acute indiges-
ton owing to the glut of Liberty
bonds. Millions of dollars are requir-
ed to finance the nations own enter
prises. The balance OF trade should
indicate that enormous quantities of
money are there with which the war
their feet, but no one seems to know
just where it is. The American bank
ers are unable to find it"
America Not Niggardly.
Mr. Bush declared that too much
was being said about the exchange
situation, and that the tendency was
to give the impression that there
was something niggardly in Ameri.
can reluctance to make further in
vestments abroad
The fact is" he continued, Amer
let itself is going to suffer in the
long run from the situation which is
temporarily adverse to England The
United States is becoming reconciled
to the necessity of dropping out of
the export market, with the excep-
ton of trading in copper and some
few raw materials which she alone
can furnish the world The results
will be a gradual slowing up in Amer
lean industries, and the countrys own
shelves will begin to be replenished.
Moderate Hard Times Good
Il do not anticipate a panic, but
American business men have been in
drunken delirium for the last couple
of years and a moderate dose of hard
times will readily bring us to earth
and do us good
When surplus labor results from
this slowing down of industry then
labor and capital will be ON the way
to the restoration OF normal rela-
tions and the whole economic system
of the country will be on healthier
basis. The big trouble has been that
the world has been trying to find "a
substitute for work"
