Must v Keop Europe Alive Arrives at new york city i"3 New YorU, Jan. 1. Sir George Paisa, the- British financial expert aud former editor of the Statist, who camo over as a member of the orljrinal war loan commission, with Lord Readinc. arrived jesterclay from Knglnnd on the Holland-America liner Nleuw Amster dam to discusb the international finan cial situation with bankers in this coun try, -with a view to raising further loans, and he hopes to improve the ex change rate between Great Britaiu and tho United States. The financial expert appeared to be pessimistic about the outlook in Eu rope, and expressed the firm eon lotion that the United States was the only country In the world which could supply the remedy to the conditions existing Over there, and that was mouev and Plenty of It. Sir George believes that a long-time loan of au amount greater than any previous national loan ever negotiated is needed to carry on the fi-Igantic task of reconstructing aud rehabilitating Europe. "The United States must lend Eng land the money, because "England is buying here extensively aud rebelling virtually to all Europe." said Sir George. "The condition of Centtal Eu rope is something that most people do not understand and the situation is most serious. The economic situation in Austria will be reflected throughout the entire world unless aid comes to that country at once." "England is the financial clearing Bouse for the whole of Europe," he continued, "and for that reason needs enormous loans which must be fur nished by the United States. If suffi cient money is forthcoming England and Europe will be all right, but if it is not furnished then bankruptcy and o scourge threaten the countries over there. No Hostility to Reservations Sir George's survey of the economic conditions of every nation of Ehmik. and his intimate knowledge of the actual , views and hones of the statesmen and i financiers of Great Britain. France nnd or vne otner important Allies, coa- vince him that there is neither re sentment nor hostility in those coun .trjes toward the course taken by American public opinion in withhold Jlng assent to the treaty and the league of nations until roiervations necessary to the sovereignty of the United States are welded upon the . treaty. rt p On the contrary, he Is satisfied that 1 Europe comprehends the precise rea r t2s$Ais for America's careful examina $ tlon of the treaty and for America's dc I sire to safeguard her own future with I out prejudice to any nation of Europe. f SHH WJ j iHlflila3! iimmk ni. jmFmk mmmmmmi "" V&sv4e.vn.WVW..
