QUESTIONS VALUE
 GOVERNMENT AID
Ny Assncinted Press

williamstown, Mass. August b. he less executive governments have t) do with business and international finance the better for their peoples,
 scount James Brlce said in his ihird public address before the In titute of Politics at Williams col
 .ge tonight He was discussing in ternational trade and questioned the
 alue of direct governmental aid.
 Speaking of the connection between finance and war, Lord Brice de dared:
 Money can exercise as much illegl- innate influence in democracies as
 lsewhere. In some of them it can 4 uy the press. perhaps also sec
 on of legislatures. Where the stan dard of public virtue is high, those wanting to get something from gov
 rnment will seek not to bribe, but will, to use a current expression, try to get at the press, while also seeking to induce influential con stituents to put pressure on their members and to put pressure on min sters, the object in view being rep ItSCnlGu dS d AOuSS AiiNtA S0h NAiNAN US 1t is really the interest of small group. The standard is low, the group will approach the private secretaries If minister, of even a minister him self.
 That wars are made by financiers g not generally true, but they have treat hand in negotiation and in fix ing the lines of policy, and they sometimes turn it in directions not favorable to national interests. Gov ernments, must, of cource, consult financiers and may often not only rrofit by their advice, but make use of them. A consertium of banks such as has been set up for China may prevent-and I think does prevent evils. which would arise if each aational group intrigued for it's own ifterest. There are upright men valu- able to a nation in high finance as in other professions. You know them in America and we know them In England They have their sphere or action necessary to the world But wherever large transactions involv- ing governments arise, the danger s gnal for watchfulness should be raised"
