8 EIGHTY REELS OF PICTURES SENT MARINES IN HAITI Is Part of Entertainment Provided by Uncle Sam's "Devil Dogs" Stationed on the Island I New York. July 2 s.—Eighty reelß of motion picture films, supplied by the Y. M. C. A., have been sent to Haiti in charge of Chaplain H. M. Peterson, of the First Provisional Brigade, Marine Corps, for the en tertainment of Uncle Sam's "Devil Dogs* 'now stationed on the Island. The films are the products of some of the biggest motion picture stars, including such players as William S. Hart, Douglas Fairbanks, Dustin Farnum, Wallace- Reid, Blanche Sweet and Mae Murray. These movies, nevertheless, are but a part of the regular monthly shipment made by the Y. M. C. A. to the Marines in the West Indies* The total cost of the material sent them in the last year approximates SSCi,OOO, a fourth of this amount going to Haiti. In acknowledgment of the films, Chaplain Peterson has written to the "Y" as follcA's: "We have received our motion picture service from the Y. M. C. A. with an average of perhaps about four shows per month. We arc now endeavoring to show the films at five points in Haiti. The service has been appreciated by officers and men alike. "I cannot give a full detailed list of the many supplies you have sent during the past year without con sulting my tiles, as they are too numerous to recall from memory. Let me say that no other organiza tion has done so much—or rather, all the organizations together have not done so much as' the Y. M. C. A. alone." About A year ago W. F.

SUGGESTS PLAN TO AID IN FINANCING EUROPE New York Banker Would Pool Her Needs of Credits and Commodities and Then Merge American Re sources to Meet Them New York. July 25. To pool Europe's needs of credit and com modities on the one hand and to pool America's resources to meet them is a plan suggested by James S. Alex ander, President of the National Bank of Commerce of New York, for re habilitating European countries and enabling them to reconstruct their war-stricken Industries. Mr. Alexander is a member of a committee recently formed to investi gate methods for supplying Europe with American money and goods dur ing the reconstruction period. This committee was formed upon the sug gestion of Henry P. Davidson and is headed by J. I'. Morgan as chairman. "A pool of Europe's needs should be met by a pool of America's re sources." asserts Mr. Alexander. "That is, America's resources should be applied to Europe's needs through a great centralized credit organiza tion, with extensive powers of co-or dination. This may sound like an ideal plan stated in sweeping terms but I think its details can be worked out in practical concrete form. Survey la Needed "There seems to be no existing ma chinery adequate to do so. There fore, a special instrumentality must be set up probably in the form of a great credit corporation with capital enough to handle transactions of a size that would be involved, transac tions representing not merely the business of individual concerns but the combined requirements of nations. "A necessary step would seem to b that surveys be made of the com modity needs of the nations of Europe, that is, an estimate of how much copper, steel, cotton, wheat and other supplies would be required for Belgium and also for the other need ful countries. "The supplies available in America are great but they are not so great j as to meet unlimited and unbalanced j demands. Therefore there should be , a Judicious rationing of our commodl- j ties among the nations requiring j them, in accordance with their needs, j "In addition to this rationing and ; allocation of commodities, there is j the question of establishing adequate | credits in this country to be con- j sidered. The' necessary credit will j be great, so that they must be car- | ried to the investing public of the ' whole country in the form of bonds j or debentures. I'ulillc Must Help "Because of the deferred maturities I of these debentures, the , banks are 1 not to be expected to absorb them. There will have to be an appeal to j the general public on the grounds of I a safe and lucrative investment and for the sake of humanity." Mr. Alex- ; ander pointed out that this would be j a means of maintaining the business j prosperity and integrity of America ! and of protecting Americans from . unsound investments In European se- | curities. \ "The security behind these deben- ; tures should make them almost equal j to Government bonds in point of | safety," Mr. Alexander said. "They I must be based on everything in the i way of collateral that Europe is able to offer. Tlfe individual European buyer must be prepared to give a general mortgage upon his entire as i sets. His loan should be further en- < dorsed by a consortium of banks in i his own country, reinformed where j j possible by governmental guarantee. | Thus every debenture sold to an ! ! American investor would have be ! hind it equal security consisting of j the pool of all the collateral sup ' plied by Europe. There would be i no direct loans against the collater- I al of weak concerns or nations in dividually by the American investor; 1 neither would the strong be allowed ; ! to monopolize the benefits." | Mr. Alexander declared that sum- i cient credits must be extended to ■ meet the full requirements either of , Europe as a whole, of tho nations ! of Europe, or of the individual in- j dustries. The full needs of Europe must be ascertained and met, he said, and this would make imperative an | economic survey of its requirements, j Credits supplied should be made j available not to the nations of Europe j as such he added, but to the specific j interests within the nations properly : . co-ordinated, that is, to industries, i manufacturers, transportation lines and even to municipalities requiring funds for reconstruction. To put his plan into operation, Mr. Alexander said, there would have to . be "this scientific survey of Europe's needs." willingness of individual in-j terest in Europe to co-ordinate their j demands, to furnish satisfactory col- | lateral and to pay American rates , rather than European rates on loans j made by the proposed American cor- j poration. j ••From the American point or view, j he said, "this plan is predicated on the willingness of American pro ducers and manufacturers to co-or dinate their selling plans, forming commodity groups and permit the j allocation of their products to places i and in amounts according to need, j Another factor is the willingness of i the American public to buy the de bentures at a reasonable rate of in- ! terest. Still another is the co-opera- ! tion required on the part of Ameri- j can banks to subordinate their in- j vestment opportunities to the general , situation and not attempt to skim j the cream of European investments, | which they might be well able to do j on account of their close connections | abroad. Without this proposed organiza- | tion, said Mr. Alexander, American ! investors would have thrust upon j them many issues of varying values, j some based on the best collateral j and some on collateral of very un- ] certain value. l His plan, he pointed j out, would be a means to protect the , American people from unsound In- i vestments in European securities. , "1 believe that unless some broad- | minded scheme of this sort is adopt- | ed are grave times ahead. 1 "Solution of the problem of sup plying European needs should not be undertaken by governmental means," said Mr. Alexander. "It should be carried out with private capital, not government funds. Nevertheless, the necessary ( measures should be organ ized and administered on a semi- I public basis and along lines that will have the support and approval ! of the government of the United j States. The time is past for the | United States Government to financ
