England and France Called On

BY MARK SULLIVAN

National Political Correspondent of the
New York Evening Post.
Washington, Nov. 3o-When people
speak. of a conference to take up
economic matters" they have in mind
three things: German reparations, in
ternational debts, and the stabilizing
of exchange These three are intimate
ly related, but from the point Of view
of America they are separated and
distinguished by different degrees of
responsibility on our part. A multi
tude of persons have wanted the pres
ent conference. to consider these econ
omic subjects. Some Of the advocates
are foreign statesmen, some are
American business men, some are
economic theorists, and some are
idealists. The motives vary from the
purest sort of selfishness to the purest
sort of altruism. All these appeals
have been firmly resisted by the men
who are dominant in the conference
and will continue to be resisted. But
that sooner or later new conference
must and will take up these econo-
mic subjects there can be little eoubt
ThesWorld cannot get on the track and
under way again until these subjects
are disposed of. Europe is the chief
sufferer from failure to take action.
But America is SO deeply involved
that our interest in getting the ques-
tons out of the way cannot be doubt
ed. The most competent judges be-
licve it to be as sure as the rising of
the sun that America cannot have
any real prosperity until reparations
are settled. international debts put on
a permanent basis, and exchange sta
bilized. They say that the present
apparent prosperity in America is due
chiefly to the lowering interest and
that the lowering interest rates are
sign not of business prosperity but
rather of business stacnation. These
judges say that business in America,
especially as respects the export of
farm products. cannot go forward in
any effective way until these three
economic mesSes are cleared up. from
the point of view of the United States,
the largest problem is in what degree
we should take the initiative. Europe
would very much like to see us take
the initiative. They want us to take
the initiative because they think that
we. as the richest nation in the
world. should bear the largest share
