by selling, IN America, bonds issued
by the. league of nations through the
fundamentally of which the fund
would 'revolve."
When Sir George Paish came to Amer
lea last winter. considerable mystery
was attached to his visit. He conferred
with the banking kings, the secretary
OF the treasury and officials of the war
finance corporation. but denied he had
been sent over by his government to
obtain a $l3,00Q.000.O0O loan. His re-
port, copy of which is understood to
be in the possession of the American
government, reveals TO large extent
the possible nature of his mission.
For any European country to float
bond issue in the United States at this
time, he stated, is entirely out of the
question. He declared. however, the
not altogether hopeless.
"The war finance corporation" he said
'can. | am informed, not only obtain

Therefore, l suggest:

The Chattanooga news. [volume] (Chattanooga, Tenn.) 1891-1939, 1920-04-08

America and Great Britain, and that
a reciprocal credit OF one thousand mil
lion dollars should be created In place OF
the existing. reciprocal credit OF one
hundred million dollars.
20. That the representatives of the
American bankers should draw against
shipments OF produce upon the repre :
sentatives Of the British bankers up to
the credit limit.
'a. That the British. group of bank
ers should be fully guaranteed against
loss by the British government.
"a That the bills drawn upon Lon
don against the actual export on prod
uce and manufactured goods should
be accepted by the British bankers in
the United States and should then be
discounted with the war finance cor
poration.
IS. That the war finance corpora
ton should in turn either discount the
bills under its own guarantee with the
bankers OF America and through them
with the federal reserve board, or
should issue its own securities to
American interests for the purpose OF
providing the necessary funds up to
one thousand million dollars.
6. That the credit of one thousand
million dollars granted by the war
finance corporation should be for the
period of five years
BY this arrangement" the report
adds, Europe could obtain American
credits of nearly one thousand million
dollars for the purpose of providing
for its immediate necessities. There
would be a cash balance in Europe at
the disposal of the banking group after
the sale of the American produce, of
nearly one thousand million dollars,
and here it would have to remain.
This is the suggestion by which the
American finance corporation would
SIMPLY credit of one thousand million
dollars-unless expanded into more
cooperative plan-and would furnish
relief for only about three months" he
said
1.-The credit would last but three
months and after these were up, in the
opinion of Sir George, Europe would |
be worse off than ever" unless the |
proposed credit from the war finance |
could be converted into a
revolving fund for five years.
In order to convert the single credit |
into a revolving fund" he explained. |
II would suggest that after the prod
uce is In Europe the proceeds should |
be paid over to the reparations COM
mittee of the league of nations"
These funds in the custody of the |
league of nations, Sir George suggested
might be the basis of big league of |

United States. Then as fast as sold,

granted to Europe and the operation
