Export-Import Bank Head
Took Job Nobody Wanted

w been counsel for the bank,
thought It had possibilities and
he took over. Previously. Pier

Credit Corporation and from that
experience he knew what sad
state the cotton export market
was in. He went 10 Europe to
see if he could sell some surplus
cotton, on credit If necessary.
He worked out deal for Ger
many, but it didn't go through.
He worked out a deal for Italy
and 1t went through. and though
most people don't know IL, Italy
made good on that loan. paid it
all off, the final payments being
made after Italy was in the war.
Similarly, a loan to Poland is still
being serviced. though the Polish
government has been driven from
it's homeland.
All through the fall and winter
of 1886, Pierson Travelled over
Europe. His wife went with him.
and in the innocent guise Of tour
lists they got car and drove all
over Germany. Everywhere they
went they saw roads 1ammed
with troop-laden trucks and the
countryside filled with msneuysrs.
German industry. too. was turn
ing out armament at a rate which
could mean only one thing.
Pierson reported these things
back in London. but nobody was
interested. Washington was even
less interested.
Persons job, however, was not
that of a military observer. He
was out 10 study world business,
and he did. In 1887 he went 10
