Finland was ready TO stop the war

BARS TO
CAPITAL MIGRATION
{ Wall Street JournaD

So far from causing us anxiety or re-
sentiment, the British governments steps
to prevent the purchase by its nationals
of American secuities may be regarded
here with satisfaction There is no good
reason why more foreign capital should
come into the United States, other than
that its owners still believe it may be
lodged here more safely than elsewhere.
We have a plethora of home capital
funds, more than we are able to find use
for or are willing to put at the risk of
use in trade and industry.
International movements of capital
are good when they occur in response to
economic need in both exporting and i'm
porting countries. That condition would
be fulfilled = and would condemn the
British governments present reStrlc-
tionS-if capital were abundant in the
United Kingdom and scarce in the Unit
ed States. But certainly one-half of such
a relation is Just now completely lacking
Foreign purchases of our securities (that
is, of those not already held abroad)
could only move American capital from
investment into bank deposits, adding
it there to our already excessive store of
unused potential capital. Such has been,
in part, the result of foreign purchases
of American securities during the past
two or three years.
Britain, of course, has her own rea-
sons for restricting the migration of cap
ital, one of which is the necessity of fl
nancing a great armament program. Her
purposes in putting up the bars are her
own affair and would still be if the
United States needed foreign capital, as
it does not. The point is, simply, that
we do not need the British investment
here and may in some respects be better
off without it.
