Should America HELD Europe2

10 The Editor Of the Ercnino Public Ledger:
Sir--If America does not step in
and extend very considerable financial
assistance to Europe. the old world
may follow Russia. Austria and Poland
into the pit. But is 1t q good business
proposition to invest money or extend
credit to 80 great risk rs shattered
countries?
At the present moment. Germany
seems to be Quivering ut the abyss. III
the central part of Europe caves in,
France may reach the brink. Such
situation would make England even
dizzicr than II is now. What may
then be expected TO follow is further
tumble in the rate Of exchange of all
European countries and the chance to
buy up the resources Of the old world
at even Il greater discount than here
toforo. Think what few billions OF
American dollars could take then! All
of Europe might become the property
Of our investors.
Following that would be the pos
slbility of governmental collapse. Revo-
lutions might come tumbling over each
other. and tho suggestion of war
against US to throw off the debt would
readily receive attention. To contem-
plate another such calamity as the late
onc--or something worse in the way OF
fearful destruction--is not happy one.
But should that uppan men handling
the worlds wealth and population as
So many playth!ngs;
To be sure there is another way out.
That Is the humane, and probably eco
nomically sane one, Of lending big
enough helping hand to save Europe
from it's present plight and ward off
future trouble. j. that worth con-
sidering? Would it be worth while to
drop selfish interests and look, ut the
world crisis from the standpoint Of
humanity?
