Famous Englishman Says Ma
tions Develop Prosperity Best
Without Government Aid !

Wililamstown, Aug. 5.-Viscortnt
James Bryce. in his third public adj
dress before the Institute Of Politics
at Williams College tonight said that
while ''every Government must de-
fsnd the rights OF its citizens in com.
mercial. as well as in other matters.
the less Governments have to do with
business and International finance the
better for their peoples"
In addition to opposing Government
participation In business he question
ed the value Of Governmental aid to
commercial interests. He said that
the nation which does not help its in
dustries, as Germany did hers before
the war, will In the long run, develop
a more vigorous commercial life than
the country which subsidies and
nurses their manufacturers. Ger
many's advances in trade. he said, are
not due to Governments help so
much as the assiduity Of her mer-
chants.
Speaking of the connection between
finance and war, Lord Bryce declar-
ed.
Money can exercise as much ills-
gitimate influence in democracies as
elsewhere In some OF them II can
buy the press perhaps also a section
OF legislators. Where the standard OF
public virtue is high those who want
to get something from. a Government
will seek not to bribe, but will. to use
a current expression, try to get At the
press while also seeking to induce in
fuential constituents to put pressure
on their members. the object
in view being represented as a public
interest, whereas il Is really the inter-.
est of a small group. When the stan
ard is low the group will approach,
the private secretaries Of Minister
or even Minister himself.
That wars are made by financiers
is not generally true, but they have
great hand in negotiations and In fix
ing the lines of policy. and they some
times turn ii in direction not favor
able to true national interests. Cow
ernments must, Of course, consult fl
nanciers, and may often not only pro-
fit by their advice. but make use OF
them. A consortium Of banks such
as has been set up for China may pre-
vent-and think 1t does prevent
evils which would arise II each nation
al group intrigued for its own inter-
est.
There are upright men valuable to
a nation in high finance as in other
professions. Yct know them in Amer
ica and we know them in England.
They have their sphere of action
necessary to the world. But where
yer large transactions involving Gov
ernments arise the danger sign for
watchfulness should be raised"
