derlip. American financier who has
been an observer at the Genoa con-
ference since its beginning, has
given NEA Service an interview on
European finance and the vital
things necessary for reconstruc-
tion of Russia.
Nanderlip was asked whether EU-
rope would obtain financial credits
from America.
No" said Nanderlip, so long as
the majority of the European states
fail to balance their budget and con
tinue to print paper money in un-
limited quantities.
Another factor influencing Amer
lea is the desire to see Europe re-
duce armaments and thereby save
money"
To the question how far is
America interested in Russia -
Vanderlip replied:
America is interested in the
Russian market. But not until we
get a guarantee for our investments
there-and the present government
seems either unable or unwilling 10
give that.
Il can build a railroad in any
part of America and get sufficient
guarantee for my investment. Why
go to Russia and do the same thing
without the necessary protection?

world I want protection for my
money. and also for my person if
l want 10 look at the place where
l have invested my money. All
American investors feet that way
about it. But Russia refuses TO
grant there elemental things.
Three vital things are necessary
for the reconstruction of Russia
FIRST rebuild the Russian
transportation system.
SECOND. try to re-establish ag-
ricultural life.
THIRD. recommence active oil
production in the Caucasus.
Il do not believe normal condi-
tions can be created in Russia by
giving concessions. That isn't the
best way. REGARDING Russian agri-
culture. ! believe the pre-war out
put could be doubled II Russia
tried scientific methods.
America is also interested in
the Siberian market. but once more
the proper guarantees for safety of
investments must be had before
American money can be obtained
Russia must work to obtain the
confidence of American investors.
