without in any way entering into
the political aspects OF the treaty Of
peace or the league OK nations" the
report says, sit is necessary in a dis
cussion Of the conditions influencing
American investment in Europe to
point out that the continued existence
of state of war has not tended to
improve that confidence in conditions
overseas which, must always be the
basis for forming credit judgments.
"a most immediate and important
problem for this country" the report
continues, "is how to extend further
credit to ferign nations without
bringing about added initiation at
home. 1t is generally conceded that
further initiation of our credit struc-
ture must be checked if commodity
prices are to decline or even to re-
main stationary. Advancing commod-
ity prices would more than offset any
gain to European purchasers through
better exchange rates.
"What is really needed is that any
foreign credits to be granted hereaft-
er be based upon additions to our own
capital as distinguished from addi-
tions to our own credit structure.
"In the United States, it is quite
clear that at least two things must
happen to improve our domestic sit
uation before we can safely grant fur
ther large credits abroad. (A) The
first is diminished home consumption
and the saving resulting therefrom,
and, if possible, increased production.
OBJ Second, there must be revision
of our system Of income taxation.
"The matter of foreign investment
has been referred to as not matter
Of sentiment but arithmetic. 1t is in
evitable that the United States, as a
great unit in the worlds economic af-
fairs, should participate largely in
foreign trade and in foreign financing
but from the standpoint of Europe
the worst possible result at this time
would be to hold out hopes of assist
ance which can not be realized. From
the standpoint of America, the worst
result conceivable at this time would
De to attempt to set in operation ma
chinery for the extension of foreign
credits which would not in fact oper-

ment fund viii be the chief topic Of
discussion. The retirement fund was
originated before the war. but prog
ress was held up until last year The
fund provides for the retirement of
II. G. A general secretaries at the
age OF 50 on a pension which is sup
piled through a mutual Insurance
system, whereby the secretary and
the association each contribute a GER
tain sum annually, which is put out
at interest until such time as the
secretary retires. One Of the diff
culties with which the association
has had to contend in the past is the
manner in which secretaries have
been leaving the profession for some
other where their futures are more
assured This retirement fund rene
dies such a condition.

treacherOus and revengeful: loving
