HEAD OF LARGEST BANK IN WORLD
 ON DEPRESSION
Albert H. Wiggin Gave Senate Committee His Views on Present and Future Business Out look
BY HERBERT LITTLE

oL 1G<AS0E&kt4 United Press Staff Correspondent Washington. October 30 - (UP) - Albert H. Wiggin, head of thu largest bank in the world, talked about the depression before tn, senate economic planning commit tee today and listed what he be- lieved were the causes ard tho cures.
 The chairman of the Chase Ma. tional Bank of New York and chairman also of the committee or Germany for the bank of Interna. tional settlements at Basic, said he did not think there was much chance of the next generation ben eiitting by the present economic lesson.
 What we have learned, the next generation will forget" he told the senators saying he thought 1t impossible to prevent a recur- renee of the depression.
 He did, however, point the way to the possible cure of the present depression.
 He has just returned from Flu rope, where his committee of the International Bank submitted a report for settlement of European questions, and gave the committee brief summary.
 In it he set forth a four-fold program for revival of business He said:
 Stripped of technicalities, the substance of our report is that the restoration of credit in Europe and consequently the revival of busi- ness in the United States depends upon CD reapproachment between France and Germany; s(2) reduced reparations; (3) reduced interal- lied debts and (4) reduced tariffs. T
 The five causes of depression listed by Wiggin were:
 1. "Impediments to interna- tional trade through excessive tar ifffs and other restrictive policies. T
 g. ''The abnormalities in cer- tain commodity markets due to governmental and private attempts at valorization."
 3. The tardiness with which wholesale prices on finished goods retail prices. wages and rentals have adjusted themselves to the sharp fall of last year"
 4. Low money rates and ex- cessive credit in the past which led to undue diversion of bank funds to slow and speculative business
 5. Political difficulties, espe- cially in India. China and Russia T
 Chairman La Toilette of the committee asked Wiggin If the prosperity credit policy was "too libera".
 Tt has turned out so," the banker replied. ...
 DO you think 1t possible to stabilize our industrial activity"
 T don't think so. A manufac- turer keeps on manufacturing goods as long as he can sell at a profit. He can't see ahead far enough to stop production as long as there Is a demand"
 Have we learned anything as | result of this depression which would enable us to take steps to mitigate such occurrences in the future?"
 Nothing will prevent recur- renee of business troubles" <
