President of the New York Stock Exchange.
It was inevitable that sooner or
later the United States would become
a great creditor nation. The practical
effects of the war, however, were TO
force within a brief period an eco
nomic development in the United
States, which under other circum-
stances might we'll have required a
half century or more. And this pro
found and tremendous significant
transformation of the international
economic status of the United States
has come suddenly upon a nation al
most wholly unpfepared for it by ex-
perience, economic interest or tradi-
tlonal outlook.
The present is, therefore, an age of
transition. no less in the United States
than in Europe. America is at the
crossroads of a momentouS change in
her economic policies and interests.
Her great internal task of colonial
ton and development is by no means
finished, nor will it probably be for
vet some generations. Nevertheless,
the United States is once again facing
outward. The century old spell of
absorption in settling our great Coun-
try Is not Yet altogether broken, never
theless. 1t IS mingled with broader
lSIDIl VI lIc hOI anu
wider realization of the part which
the United States must play in it.
This viewpoint. so natural and tradi-
tional to Europe, means with us the
reversal Of habits of thought and GUS
toms which have dominated us for
almost one hundred years. Such shifts
in national viewpoints take time.
Exactly what part the United States
will play in the world of tomorrow de-
pends on the collective wisdom of
Europe as we'll as on our own. Surely
If material prosperity is any necessary
basis for this. the United States should
fulfill a constructive role as creditor
nation in the coming years. Under
an unyielding regime of Federal econ
omy so constantly maintained by
President Coolidge and Mr. Mellon. the
economic burdens of war in the United
States are rapidly being abated and

Because the advancing spring weather

He says: To the Editor of The Courant:

 On my previous visit deep gloom seemed te pervade the city. 4 short time before the bank failed one of the big mills was sold al auction. The residents certainly had reason Co feel gloomy and dejected.
 But when | was there the other day, the city huzzed with activity. Ii was on a Monday The shops were doing lively business and the people on the streets seemed carefree.
