HOOVER SAYS.
No Need of Gigantic
European Loan
Asserts No Necessity Drawing on v.
S. Treasury for Further Credits -
Problem is One of Ratification of
Peace and Ordinary Business Pro-
cesses

New York, Jan. 6-Herbert Hoover
on his way east in connection with
relief work in Europe today, tele-
graphed to his headquarters in this
city a statement in which he took
emphatic exception to opinions of
European propagandists both con-
corning the volume of Europe's
financial needs from the United
States and the contention that the
great bulk of these needs cannot be
met by ordinary commercial credits
Asserting that, with our taxes 500
per cent. over previous rates." there
is no need for drawing on the United
States treasury for further loans,
Mr.. Hoover states that aside from
some secondary measures by our
government. the problem is one of
ratification of peace and ordinary
business processes" He adds that
by secondary measures 1 mean that
some conditionc in central and
southern Europe need breadstuff on
credit from the grain corporation to
prevent actual starvation and the
allies are asking for temporary de-
lay in paying interest on our govern
ment loans to them" Outside Of
temporarily deferring interest, Mr..
Hoover continues, Americas task is
reudced to helping out the bread
supply Of less than five per cent. of
the population Of Europe: that no
such situation exists as that which
confronted America last year at this
time and thaethere is no ground for
hysteria on either side Of the ATTAIN
tic.
