Solution Of Unemployment
b to Encourage Industry

what" I asked Mr.. Pierson, sis
the answer?"
BIS reply was quoted as the intro
ductory paragraph. He seemed
fully to recognize all Of the diff
culties confronting the United
States at the moment. Further,
there was every evidence that Mr..
Pierson Is one of the few officials Of
governmentswho are aware that the
solution to our unemployment prob
lem Is tp assist industry so that 1t
can re-employ workers. Unless in
dustry can be encouraged, it appears
that the nation is going to continue
with 100000 unemployed as it has
Tor the last few years. I found it
refreshing, therefore, to hear Mr..
Pierson talk about how few dozen
large factories have been kept open
and with relatively full payrolls
because the export-import bank
was able to help foreign buyers who
wanted American products but
could not pay cash for them.
For reasons that I will mention
subsequently, however, I had some
msgivings about the operations of
the export-import bank. I doubted
mat there would be repayment of
money advanced by the bank.
Well, the default is thing that
happens to greater or less extent
Wherever credit is extended" Mr..
Flerson explained. IF there were
never any defaults, there would be
no risk attached to banking busi-
ness. But, unfortunately, that ele-
ment must be taken into considera-
tion. The fact that there is credit
lsk Is why this export-import bank
was organized. OF course, there
were other reasons, but the insta-
putty Of some foreign governments,
.ne lack of exchange and such con-
altlons made it necessary for our

wAsH1NGTON.-"I am supreme
:, confident of one thing-we are
r,.tine dent in the job Of getting
h.cr some Of our foreign trade
.n.t WAS lost to other nations in the
,..t few years. Nobody can be sure
hat We ever will get all Of 1t back,
hut am hopeful because this little
institution Of ours here Is showing
that Il can function safely and sat
isfactorily."
That statement perhaps Is the
,.st summary can give Of the
nhilosophy of Warren Lee Pierson,
The president-and pretty largely
the heart and soul-of the export
imoort bank. Likewise, 1t rather de-
lineates the program of that little
lnovn federal agency; because Mr..
;rierson is determined to see Amer
lean products, farm or factory, NOV
ine as Of old into the hands OF users
and consumers in foreign lands.
moreover, to analyze the outlook Of
the man is to reach a conclusion
that he believes the way to restore
people to jobs in this country Is to
assist American farms and factories
in the sale of their products.
It is curiously true that some OF
the federal agencies which are do
ing important work and doing 1t eff
ficiently are least known to the gen.
eral public. They have no staff Of
press agents; they seldom "break
into print" yet they seem to be
serving all of the people well.
Department Of commerce reports
have been showing how our exports
have declined through many
months. The records give one the
impression that the lines ON the
chart, showing totals each month,
are In race to see which one can
dive faster or deeper. have won
dered where we were headed, as a
nation Of producers. Secretary
Hull's reciprocal trade treaties have
been getting exactly nowhere; and
have done 50 at enormous speed.
Secretary Wallace's ideas for SELL
ing our farm products have proved
to be nothing but dreams and, like
dreams, they vanished the next
morning. except that perhaps the
next day Mr.. Wallace's publicity
staff announced another plan.

Collateral Behind Notes
Is Guarantee Of Payment

Is Guarantee Of Payment
1T is to be remembered that
goods for export go in larger guam
titles and that necessarily larger
sums Of money are needed to ham
die the transactions. In addition,
we have found that, in many in
stances, the buyers were what can
he termed as good credit risks, but
they were unable to make payments
of such large sums at one time.
Nor were the American manufac-
turers able to wait for three or
four or five years. To do so would
exhaust their resources. That is
where we come into the picture.
Take case like this: A South
American railroad company wanted
to buy some locomotives. Those
things cost money. They. wanted
American engines. But they wanted
to pay the bill on an installment
basis. We agreed to take about so
percent Of the notes. Commercial
banks with which the manufacture
er was dealing agreed to take over
the remainder on a short term
basis"
All of which sounded very well.
But having watched the negotiations
with foreign governments over re-
payment Of the loans made by the
United States during the World war,
I had some misgivings. It seemed
that here was another agency do
ing exactly what Mr.. william Gibbs
McAdoo had done as secretary Of
the treasury during the World war.
In other words, the futility Of ever
expecting a payment on foreign
loans rather had been impressed
upon me. I told Mr.. Pierson Of my
feelings.
That cannot be so In our case"
he explained. I'VE have collateral
and we have ways Of collecting.
There are guarantees behind the
notes we have received, for example,
in the locomotives. We have no
fears at ALL
The guarantees, the collateral
about which Mr.. Pierson spoke. I
learned, were in the shape Of q
bank endorsement. That is to say,
one Of the South American banks,
with deposits in New York and 9TH
er large cities in the United States,
has added its promise to pay to the
promissory notes given by the pur-
chaser. Mr.. Pierson did not say
so, but 1t became readily apparent
to me that, should the South Amer
lean nation concerned decide to for
bid payments to foreigners, as has
happened before, the export-import
bank, If need be, could grab for
the South American deposits in this
country. MIR. Pierson gave no init
nation that such a course had en-
tered his thoughts.

employed by the dictators, then It
is performing a great service for
the citizens Of the United States. It
is conceivable, indeed, that extern
sion of credits in the manner des-
cribed might possibly be the means
by which North and South Ameri-
ca can be tightly bound to each
other in war as well as in peace.
There is another thing about the
export-import bank that impressed
me. It is operating on borrowed
money, Of course; and the taxpay-
ers will have to make up any losses
because the federal government OBJ
viously Is morally bound to pay
off the banks bonds if it were to
collapse. But thus far in its life,
the export-import bank has had no
losses Thus far, it has been able
to pay all of its own expenses out of
the interest charked its borrowers.
