(real Britain and Franco have es tablished a pool ill this country to con tiol whatever purchases they need to make, and Italy Is co-operating with them to a limited extent. As a result, trade expeits do not think thele will he much s;le for American finished products in the Kuropean countries foi some time to come, it being the an- I nounced policy of tho Allies to do with- ' out those articles which they cannot manufaciuie at home. Hasle mateiials still will be obtained In the l'nited States, and probably much machinery, Into the making of which technical skill and scientific knowledge enter, but It is believed the gieat bulk of Amerlcun goods will have to bo marketed lse w here. A distinct advantage for the l'nited States is seen In the policy of the Allies, who necessarily must curtail their com petition In 'the foreign field in order to take care of their home population. The Allies' dependence on this country for basic materials and machinery to i-tart their. commercial life, anew may develop a new role ,for American capital In financing Kiiropean industries, revers ing the, condition which prevailed until the war began, America has more surplus gold than any other country, ofllclals say, and emu relieve the Kuropean scarcity hy taking Industtial bonds at a profitable rate of interest or government bonds at a lower rat. . in cither case contributing to u j revival of business, which would mean I greater value for the millions of foreign securities now held In the United tSates j. .
