CREDIT TO
ITALY
Export Bank Supports
N. Y. Brokers In
Cotton Deals
international NeWs service

The Government has taken, a
step to prevent Italy from uti1iz-
ing the benefits of any American
governmental credit to help wage
its threatened war against Eth
opia.
This was learned today with
announcement by Wayne c. Tay-
lor, vice president Of the Federal
Export-Import Bank, that the
bank has decided not to consider
any applications for credit to
finance the shipment of Ameri.
can goods to italy. Mr.. Taylor
said:
"In view Of. the present un-
settled condition in Italy, the
bank is not considering any
applications for credit involving
that country"
This move represented one Of
the most tar reaching steps taken
by the American Government
since the World War to prevent a
repetition of Americas Govern.
mental credit being used to help
finance European wars.
Strikes At Business
Although the desire to safe
guard this Government from any
possible accusation of lending aid
to Italy to wage war against Eth
opia was understood to have
formed the primary reason for
the banks decision, the directors
were careful of the grounds on
which they based that decision.
It was reached on the ground
that in view Of MuSsolini'S threat
to undertake the burden Of a war
Italy's financial position was not
sufficiently sound to warrant any
credit risks by this Government.
The credit would not have
been extended directly to the
Italian government. The export
import bank has no authority to
extend direct credit to foreign
governments. It was established
to extend credit to American ex-
porters who contemplated the
shipment of American goods to
foreign nations on a short term
credit basis.
In the present case, several
American cotton manufacturers
we're seeking credit to finance
the shipment of cotton goods to
Italy. They were understood to
have sought six months credit
from New York banking houses,
but the latter refused more than
three months. In view of Italy's
war preparations. the exporters
were doubtful of Italy'S willing
ness to meet the payments in
such a short time.
