Financing Foreign Trade

Federal Loan Administrator Jesse
Jones has laid before the National
Foreign Trade Council, through the
chairman of It's board, James A. Far
rell, the suggestion that business take
the initiative in an expansion Of
American foreign trade.
In a letter to Mr.. Farrell the ad-
ministrator made the concrete pro-
posal that for this purpose export
and import companies be organized
to which private lenders, as we'll as
the R. F. c. and the Export-1mport
Bank, could lend when necessary.
These companies could look for
things to buy from the countries to
which we sell, things that would not
compete with our own products.
Loans by the r. F. c. and the
Export-Import Bank for exporting
agricultural and industrial products
have proven satisfactory" Mr.. Jones
said, land I am convinced that much
more could be accomplished in this
field through greater cooperation
between Government and business,
business taking the initiative and not
leaning too heavily on Government"
Two things stand out in this mes
sage to the council-the emphasis
on the fact that the United States
must buy as well as sell abroad, a
policy which has long been advo-
Gated by Secretary Of State Hull in
his reciprocal trade program, and
the inducement to private investors
to enter the foreign trade field.
There can be no question that this
is an auspicious moment for the
United States to fill the gap in for
eign trade created by the war and
to stimulate the search for foreign
markets abandoned to a certain ex-
tent by the belligerents. This is
most true among the Latin American
countries which live and prosper by
selling their raw materials and food
products to industrial nations.
The United States can, by wisely
placed and carefully administered
credits, smooth the way for both
American exports to foreign markets
and for imports of foreign goods into
the American market, where that is
possible without increasing compe-
tition with American products.
The urgency of the situation
arises from the inability of the Ex-
port rt-Import Bank to commit itself
further in foreign trade financing
until its authorization is increased.
The bank has practically exhausted
its authorized one hundred million
dollars and more cannot be obtained
until the next session of Congress.
In this situation Mr.. Jones is making
available to American exporters the
facilities of the r. F. c., which has
somewhat more than q billion dol
lars Of its authorization unused.
Many risks IN foreign trade

financing are safe in the long run,
but too burdensome for banks and
other private lending agencies to
carry. These arise chiefly from ex-
change control and the resulting de-
lays in collection for exports to coun-
tries using such devices. This is q
type of lending which the r. F. C..
can carry, enabling American ex-
porters to take advantage of markets
which otherwise would be closed to
them.
1t is upon the sale Of their own
products abroad that the ability of
other countries to pay for their
purchases Is based. In the case of
Latin America-the most important
market for the United States right
now-this country may be able to
absorb greater quantities of spe-
cialized food products and strategic
raw materials-among them Bolivian
tin, Chilean copper and Brazilian
manganese-thus helping to main
tain their buying power.
It would be highly desirable, as
Mr.. Jones points out, if business were
to rely more and more on private
investments in financing foreign
trade, and if the plan he suggests
stimulates such private lending it
will be all to the good. But, failing
such new private investment, it is to
be hoped that the R. F. c. will not
lower the standards it has main
tanned for domestic financing in
order to provide political loans of
the type which were proposed last
spring when the spending lending
bill was in the tormulative stage.

NEW YORK, Nov. l5.-Murry
Guggenheim, capitalist member of
the famous copper mining family,
died today.
Mr.. Guggenheim. long identified
with philanthropic work in New
York, died at his Fifth avenue home
after an illness of several days. He
was 81.
In the neighborhood of Wall
Street, the name of Murry Guggen-
helm for decades suggested copper,
silver and Chilean nitrate, the stock
in trade Of the famous family firm
of which he was member.
Farther uptown, the name meant
band concerts on the mall in Central
Park on hot summer nights.
All over the city, it suggested the
dentists Office to hundreds of thou
sands of school children who could
not afford the services of a private
practitioner.
Enlarged Inherited Fortune.
The millions of dollars with which
Mr.. Guggenheim and his wife en-
doWed their dental clinic and other
charities and helped support the
Goldman Band concerts, came from
one of Americas great family for
tunes, founded by Meyer Guggen-
helm, a Swiss immigrant, and en-
larged by his seven American-born
sons.
Mr.. Guggenheim was the third Of
those sons, born in PHILADELPHIA
August IL, 1858. He entered the
firm OF M. Guggenheim's Sons when
it was established in 1881, and re-
malned with it after it became
Guggenheim Bros. in 1915.
AS it is often told, the story of the
origin of that vast mining concern
begins with a tale typical of Ameri-
can business romance.
