America Overflowing With Riches.
Returning to the United States a

Only Three Ways to lielp Europe.
There are only three ways by which
these stricken ands can secure sips
wlies from the outside world. One Is
by payment, one by credit, and the
third Is by exchange of commodities,
If these peoples tried to buy materials
and supplies in America at the present
misrket value of thelr currencies Aus-
trina would have to pay forty times the
original cost, Germany thirteen times,
Greece just double, Czecho-Slovakia
fourteen times and Poland fifty times.
These figures are official and are a
true index of the economic plight of
these countries.
It is clear, therefore, that they can-
ot give us gold for the things they
must have, nor have they either prod-
ucts or securities to offer in return for
credit, If only they could obtain raw
material which these idle millions of
thelrs could convert into manufactured
products they would have something to
the world In return for its raw
material, food and medicine, ut if
they have neither money nor credit

posed should be fuifiiled
4. As to financial terms, 1 should

the next three years, € per cent, with
provision that such interest might be

5. Immediately the plan was adopt-
ed I would have our government in-
vite other governments in a position
to assist, to participate in the under
taking.
6. To set forth completely my opin-
fon, 1 should add that in the fing! in-
structions the American people,
through their government, should say
to the commission :
“We want you to To and do this job
in such a manner as, after study, you
think it should be done, This is no
ordinary undertaking. The American
people trust you to see that it Is done
right.”
I would algo say to the commission :
“Use go mach of this money as is
needed.” Personally, T am confident
that with the assistance and co-opera-
tion which would come from other
parts of the world the sum of £500.
000.000 from the United States would
be more than enough to start these
countries on their wap to self support
and the restoration of normal condi.
tions,
The whole plan, of course, involves
many practical considerations, the
most serious of which is that of ob-
taining the money, whether by issuing
in the flonting debt or by taxation,
But I think we could properly say to
the treasury department:
