APPEAL FOR EDGE LAW

CLEVELAND, o., May 4--An APP
peal for support Of the Edge Law and
the Foreign Trade Financing Cor
poration was made here today be-
fore the Nation Foreign Trade Cor
poration by George r. Meyercord, of
Chicago.
After calling attention to what he
termed good job done by Uncle
Sam in the Federal Reserve System,
Mr.. Meyercord predicted that history
will repeat itself in Europe. He said
in part:
Countries now struggling bravely
to regain their pre-war standing have
lost little in natural resources or in
dustrial competency. All they need
is time---a little time---to recover
They are solvent. They furnish the
most inviting field in the world for
foreign trade, for they are in need of
American goods. They need above
all the raw material or the party
manufactured stocks which can be
furnished in this country, and which
can fast be turned into money by the
industrial millions of war-sick Euro
peans.
The Foreign Trade Financing Cor
poration to my mind offers the solu-
tion of the manufacturers problems.
As view the big fundamental
thought back to the Edge Law, I
see in it this problem solved"
