League of Nations
Being Formed by
Trade Situation
Interdependence of World
Powers Will Be Increased
by Industrial Develop
ment, Says Asso ciation

Belief that the war prepared the
world for "an inevitable league of
nations of some sort" through
economic decen. radiation which makes
the way clear for federalism ic ex-
pressed in the report Of the committee
on foreign trade Of the American
Economic Association, made public
Yesterday.
The report points out that the in
dustrial development of backward
countries and the tendency toward MI
graticn awakened by the war will in
crease the interdependence Of the
nations and thereby vitalize league
of nations. ,..-..~.
In discussing the foreign trade OUT
look. the report suggests further pri-
vate financing of European needs
rather than governme ental, proposing
that investment trusts be established
to encourage the purchase Of foreign
bonds in the United States.
The report holds that as Europe can
not liquidate her debts to the United
States in securities because Of the anti
alien laws on the other side of the
Atlantic and the fear. of econom ic
oene ration and does not want to pay
her debts in gold, it will be necessary
Tor Europe to pay such debts ultimately
in merchandise, though temporarily
further loans may have to be extended.
As the productivity Of European coun-
tries increases the present situation.
the report holds. will eventually be re-
versed and imports into the Uniued
States within generation will exceed
exports.
The report adds that in the present
unsettled state of Europe developments
might modify these conclusions. "If
Europe falls into Chaos" it continues.
exports from the United States will
be greatly reduced. If the prime pal
and interest Of our loans are th4,s.
wiped out the conditions which call for
an ultimate excess of imports will
cease to exist"

uneasy laugh which her excitement
pitched little higher than she had
intended.
In an adjoining room Dave Eden
heard that laugh. and II stirred some
remembrance in him. Instantly he
connected II with Irene Hardy. The
truth was Irene Hardy had been IN
the background OF his mind during
every waking hour since Bert Nor
rison had dropped her bombshell upon
him. And now that voice
Dave had no plan. He simply
walked into Conward's office. His eye
took in the little group and the mind
behind caught something of its por

walked straight to Irene.

quiet tones that gave no hint of the
emotion beneath. IL am very glad to

was as well controlled as his had been.
Mrs. Hardy looked on the clean-built

brown, smooth face, but the name sug-

Irene went on, 81 told you of Mr.. FL

the country-have thrown a lasso in

Irene's eyes danced. Dave had al
ready turned the tables; where her
mother had implied contempt he had
set up a note OF pride.
"Oh, suppose" said her mother,
for lack OF better answer. Every
thing is so absurd In the West. But
