 almost unlimited credit could safely be cXtcnGcd.
 "1n the meantime foreign bonds can be watched with interest. l thus far have advised against purchasing foreign bonds. especially while such good investments are available in the United States. If, however, the conference is a success and money rates continue to decline. for"jgn bonds may become attractive. The best foreign investments ale those of Switzerland Belgium and the Scandinavian countries. together with certain muncipals Tho best spccu- latiOns are in Chinese. Japanese, French. Italian and Russian bonds, The latter now selling around l5 and despised by everyone may be worthy of study
 If the conference fails it will ndi- cate that tho great nations arc hope lessly at odds and as soon as they get their breath they will start fighting again. Money lent on such q basis would probably be lost. If you are planning to buy foreign securities or foreign money, therefore, wait and see what happens at the conference.
 Remember also that the future of Europe has great deal to do with the future of America. Peace and re- construction in Europe means peace and better business in America. War and bankruptcy in Europe means, perhaps war, but at least continued hard times in America. Remember that while you may have nothing to do with foreign trade foreign trade has whole lot to do with you. Hence. I urge every fOresighted man and woman to get behind President Hard ing and help him to carry through his part in this conference to reduce armaments.
 "The increase in general business which set in a few weeks ago has been checked. Whether or not. this Is merely temporary cannot be told a tho moment. It will. however, be treated in full in a statement which 1 shall issue nest week.
