Solution Lies in Private Initiative, 10
View Of Hoover-Must Help
Europe.-Credits Should
Be Established.

CHlCAGO.-O Organization of a cor
poration to finance foreign trade, to be
backed by bankers, manufacturers and
merchants was Endorsed recently by
prominent speakers before confer
ence under auspices of the American
Bankers association.
The proposed corporation would be
formed under the Edge law with II
capital of $100,000,000, available to
American producers as cash payment
for their goods on which foreign buy
ers would be unable to pay cash.
This foreign trade, speakers said,
was necessary to the commercial
progress of the United States and
some method of financing foreign
trade must be worked out to enable
American manufacturers to take their
place in world trade.
Herbert Hoover declared that If the
project were successful the conference
would have been the most momentous

considerable degree, to the stagnation

that by the establishment of credits

Individual Enterprise Vital.
MIR. Hoover declared that present
problems should be solved by the pro.
cesses OF business and the individual
initiative OF man rather than by the
government. Government promotion,
he said, would lead to vicious ends

AS for their meters, they can be read
properly only with the assistance of a
slide rule and a table of lOgarithms.
Each meter possesses seven clocks
one for the passenger, one for extra
passengers, one for luggage. one for
waiting, one for the luxury tax, one
for the tax on capital and one for good
luck. All the clocks work busify all
the time-even the one for waiting.
