FOREIGN LOANS
PUZZLE TOU.S.
Exports Mean Much to Ma
tion's Welfare, Is View
Of Holland.

For the business world the chief
question even in this presidential
year which must be answered within
the next twelve months Is this: VIII
il be possible for the United States
to maintain and to increase It's inter-
national trade relations and to export
commodities the aggregate Of which
may be in money value at least seven
billion dollars. perhaps more.
For 1t Is recognized that the state
OF things which has CHARACTERIZED
our foreign trade relations Snce the
war began and especially since the
United States government advanced
ten billion dollars to the nations
across the sea cannot be maintained
many months.
Presumably during the year 1919 a
large amount Of credit was furnished
by individuals. by banks, and in some
cases by industrial corporations.
Otherwise our exports must have
fallen OF But can private aid OF
corporations or banking aid be con-
ttnued until at last Europe Is normal?
Some OF our Industrial leaders report
that they have been compelled to re-
fuse 10 sell their commodities In Eu-
rope for two reasons. one being the
sbnorpally low rate OF foreign ex-
changes and the other, that the
would-be purchasers of American
commodities are in many cases ask
ing for long time credit
IL there were falling OF in exports
the effect Of that would be felt In
probably every one of the American
Manufacturing industries and that
would be followed by a condition
which would give serious concern to
the farmers of the United States.
Some OF the ablest men of finance
and in the American industries are
convinced that the aggregate sum
which is needed. If our exports are to
be maintained and increased, Is 30
large that it would be impracticable,
probably impossible, even for this tc
be done unless the government were
to help.
Sir George Paish has come from
London with intent to persuade the
authorities to participate in advancing
a stupendous credit. Even from Lon
don comes the report that Sir George
does not represent Great Britain, but
speaks for himself alone. Such a
statement from London would not
have been necessary had there not
been an inaccurate report of Sir
Georges purpose. He has come to
the United States to set forth not SC
much the needs of Great Britain and
those of Europe as to make II clear
that unless the United States by the
government and by the people finds
some method by which Europe can
be quickened, then there will come
such reaction as will be shown by the
figures that tell Of a heavy failing on
in our export trade and the conse-
quent effect upon American industry
and agriculture. HOLLAND.
