Financing Foreign Trade.

A problem of American business
which is rapidly reaching the acute
stage is the further financing of ex.
port trade and the devising OF some
method by which exporters may real.
ize on business already done. The
limit has about been reached in the
amount of frozen credit which can
be granted European buyers.
An eminent financial authority es.
Inmates that there now is owed in
Europe TO American exporters three
and half billion dollars. Europe has
no funds in this country with which
to pay the bill: her gold is not wanted
and cannot be had. for to attempt to
pay any considerable part of so vast
sum in gold probably would cause a
complete collapse OF the Europea n
currency systems.
That the bankers of the country are
keenly alive to the urgency of the
situation is evidenced by the proposal
before their convention here that they
unite in forming hundred million.
dollar corporation for the purpose of
financing foreign trade. 1t is esti.
mated that it would be possible for
such company TO market billion
dollars in debenture bonds This
would be an immense help. of course
but it would not be a final solution
With three and half billions of obi
cations now waiting to be liquida ted
and with Europe clamoring for more
American goods for which she is un
able to pay. the undertaking is too big
to be handled by even a hundred-mil.
lion dollar corporation.
The time would seem to have come
when the European governments must
unite their credit with that of their
financial and commercial houses ard
issue securities with government un-
derwritins which would be accep.ab BILE
to investors everywhere. America is
rich in cash and has vast material re-
sources. but her riches and resouro es
are not inexhaustible. This country
should not be askci 20 bear alone the
burden Of financing Europe back to
her feet. The res. CT the world has

role ~ leader Of men AZ soon as she
opens her eyes In her cradle or her
mothers arms. When she is five
years old she is the boss of the family:
at ten she has all the male members
completely under her control, or under
her heel: at sixteen she has extended
her influence to all the first voters and
ear-first-voters in the precinct in
which she lives, and at twenty or
twenty five she has generally reduced
one man to abject vassalage, and has
a waiting list, perhaps. At forty and
fifty and sixty she permits no mere
man to question her authority. She
believes in boss rule and she is the
boss.
From domestic management to po-
litical management Is short step for
a woman. She has to employ high
finan ncial talents to make the salary
Of her subject-husband pay the neces-
sary bills. and she has to be an ex-
pert executive and accountant to see
that the household gets what 1t pays
for and that it is not overcharged or
underweighed for what it gets. She
has to be a diplomat to avoid hostili-
ties with the cook and laundress. and
