Wall Street 0ptimists
Predict New Era
In World Trade
Believe War Will Be
Avoided; See End
Of Old Barriers
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 25.-Amidst
disturbing reports from abroad a
genuine feeling exists in some Wall
Street quarters that there will be no
general European war this year, or
next year, or the year after that.
A sprinkling Of usually well-in-
formed money men cling stubbornly
to the belief Europe is passing
through political and economic re-
adjustments which may be COM
pleted flguratively without firing
shot" and that these readjustments
are setting the stage for new era
Of world trade expansion and indus
trial progress"
It should be borne In mind that
this is not ajority Wall Street opin-
ion necessarily. Most bankers, bro
kers. bond dealers and business ex-
ecut1ves refuse even to guess which
way the cat will jump" in Europe.
The majority prefer to forego pre-
dictions and keep fingers crossed.
Believe Werst Is Past.
The scattered few. however.
stoutly contend the world is to be
spared general war. They hold that
Europe is approaching the end of
q readjustment between have"
and have not" nations-a read
justment destined to revise ma
tionalistic boundaries more in line
with those existing prior to the
treaty Of Versailles. But they think
the peak Of the strife in Europe is
past, and that while there may be
new shifting Of boundaries. and Of
loyalties of small nations, these
will not bring a general war.
And when the shouting and the
tumult dies" they hold, there will
be the ultimate rebirth of import
export trade between countries that
Europe has awaited so long.
Granting by leading powers Of
new concessions on points in con-
troversy in Europe is not beyond
the realm Of probability, the in
sistent few say.
Britain Seeks Trade.
Britain, for example, anxiously
wants to better her foreign trade.
And Germany, according to trade
figures, was once Britain's best Gus
toner.
None of the major powers, 1t is
held, wants war. But all want
Interchange Of surplus goods and
manufactures as much as they want
economic self sufnciency.
Once the readjustments between
the have" and have not" nations
are completed. the way is seen

sion, the Wall street optimists hold.
