AMERICA REGARDED ASLAND OF PLENTY,
 REALLY SUFFERING
Irving T. Bash Gives Analysis of the Foreign Exchange
 Situation

London, Feb. 6.--The United States I"is not interested in the extension of additional European credits nor at traeted by the foreign security mar kct, simply because American funds are not available for that purpose" :" Irving T. Bush, of New York said in diagnosis of the exchange situation and the worlds financial ills at a luncheon today at which Sir Auck- land Geddes, minister of national service and reclamation presided.
 "Amercia," MT. Bush continued, "is regarded abroad as a land flowing with milk and honey and unlimited wealth, whereas actually the coun- try's financial machinery is suffer- ing from an attack of acute indiges- tion owing to the glut of Liberty bonds. Millions of dollars are re- quired to finance the nations own ends. The balance of trade should indicate what enormous quantities of money there are with which the war stressed nations could be helped, but no one seems to know just where it is
 American bankers are unable to find it. I can only attribute this to the causes named" MT. Bush declared that too much was being said about the exchange situation and that the tendency was to give the impression tha tthere was somthing niggardly in American reluctance to make fur ther investments abroad.
 "The fact is," he continued, "Amer- ica itself is going to suffer in the long run from the situation which is temporarily adverse to England. The United States is becoming re- conciled to the necessity of dropping out of the export market with the exception of trading in copper and some raw materials which she alone can furnish the world. The result, in evitably will be gradual slowing up in American industry's and the country's own shelves will begin to be replenished.
 q do not anticipate panic, but American business men have been in drunken delirium for the last couple of years and moderate dose of hard times will readily bring us to earth and do us good.
