OLlteU hIHxUOu anu SWeQen Cnc
percentages of increase in wholesale
prices have corresponded roughly to
increases in currency and credit. 1t
is an interesting fact that retail
prices in every country for which
statistics are available have risen
proportionately less than wholesale
prices, which would certainly indi-
cate that retailers are not wholly
responsible for such profteering as
has taken place.
In spite of the pessimistic re-
marks made by Sir George Paish
following his arrival here a few
bdays since, the foreign exchanges
improved little toward the end of
the week. Certainly the situation
in Europe is a serious one, but it
may not be as bad as Sir George
paints it. There is, for instance, no
indication that the British govern
ment is in such urgent need of
credits here as he indicates. The
British Treasury has, it is learned,
no intention whatever of seeking
loan in this country before next
October, when an extension Of the
Anglo-French loan Of $5O0,0O0, 900
doubtless will be asked for and OBJ
tanned. Moreover, even if it did
seek accommodations, it does not
follow that we should grant them,
as long as Great Britain is herself
able to grant credits to other coun-
tries. Elsewhere in Europe the stu
alton is more acute, especially in the
central and southern sections. Pros
poets for getting back on a produc-
tive basis in the near future are not
bright. The process necessarily
will be slow and painful one. That
lis inevitable in view Of the extreme
prostration which followed the war.
But the recovery is already under
way, according. to competent OBJ
servers who have been over the
ground, and that is decidedly en-
couraging. There is, at the moment,
seemingly little chance for any
country to negotiate a large loan in
this country, but doubtless a way
will be found to supply Europe
gradually with the raw materials
needed to speed up production.
There have been several recent de-
velopments in this direction. Ope
was the passage of the Edge law.
Another was the creation last week
of an export company, backed by j.
P. Morgan & Co. An interesting
item in the weeks budget of news
was that Germany had been buying
large quantities of copper here, pay
ing for it in dollars.
A prominent banker was talking
to the financial editor about foreign
credits. They must be provided, he
said, and without delay. It was
vital not only for the salvation of
Europe but for the preservation of
our own prosperity. Itwas the patri
otic duty Of all Americans to sub
scribe to any good foreign loan Of
fered here. "Well," said the finan-
cial editor, finally, 81 remember you
told me about a very profitable turn
you had made last September, and,
as l recall it, your institution was
cne of those Offering the last big
foreign loan here. Do you mind
telling me how much Of that loan
you bought for yourself?" There
was an awkward pause, and the
banker replied: "Not a dollars
worth, but the fact remains that l
should have bought lot" Which
only goes to show that bankers are
human, after all.
