since the impaired capital equip
ment of the world can be rehabili-
tated only from the flow OF liquid
capital, and since the largest source
of such capital must for some time
be found chiefly in the United
States. It is clear that the recon

the rest OF the world must depend
upon sharing our future capital &C
cumulations with Europe.
TT is of utmost Importance,
therefore, that we should not per-

ital Accommodations such as occurred
during the war and IN the imme-
date post armistice period. The d.
version Of liquid capital TO con-
sumption purposes during those pc
RODS unquestionably prevented a
fuller rehabilitation of the fixed
capital of tho world. Nevertheless.
in many parts Of Europe and in this
country we face insistent demands
for the diversion of capital funds to
consumption purposes IN the forms
of extravagant governmental ex-
penditures, special contributions of
governments to particular classes,
etc. Unless we are to repeat the UNI
fortunate mistakes OF the post-ar-
mistice period with consequences
equally disastrous, a sane control
must prevent uneconomlo diversion
of future liquid capital accumula-
lions.
Finally we must bear in mind
that the capital problem is a world
problem Just as the problems OF
Z trade, prices and currency are world
problems. The restoration OF the
