To Illustrate "export capitalism. Dr. Pratt cited the Swedish loan of 000,000; the Argentine loan of 15, 000.000, and the Russian loan of $23, 000,000, all floated in this country dur ing the last six months. , This will, of course, be a slow move ment at first," he added, "because we must pay our interest charges abroad and, naturally, a considerable amount of liquidation in American securities will take place, thus utilizing a part of this favorable trade balance in re ducing our foreign debt. But we have turned the corner." Interest Hate to Be High. Turning to the effects of the Eu ropean war on International finance. Dr. Pratt said information now at hand placed the total of war loans made by the belligerents at $6,000,000,000 In all, made at high rates of interest., "The Income expected and obtained on Investments In Europe," he contin ued, "has been much less than that prevailing or expected In this country. This war, however, will be succeeded by a period of high interest. It will be succeeded by a period of Intense de mand for capital for "reconstruction purposes. The stock of capital Is be ing depleted and it Is more likely that financial exhaustion, rather than mili tary exhaustion, will determine the final results. At the close of the war, then, Europe will not have much, ad vantage over us In the matter of cheap capital." As to economic conditions which must arise abroad, Dr. Pratt said the war's toll of dead, wounded and dis eased would be paid from the ranks of the "skilled laborers who have made the goods which have been sent to the markets at home and abroad." Europe's Good Will Sacrificed. Another important factor in the situ ation, he added, would be the loss of "good will" by the European countries. Taking up the Latin-American fiild. Dr. Pratt said American trade develop ment in those countries had long been hampered by long-term credit extended by European nations. "After her present debts are liqui dated," he asserted, "Europe will be unprepared to keep her working capi tal tied up "in a floating debt, and Eu ropean manufacturers will be no more willing to give long-time creo.it man our own. Again we will be on a par ity with European nations." Reviewins the situation in Latin American countries. Dr. Pratt said the war had dealt them a hard blow; their products were tied up in their ware houses for the most part and must be held or sold at a loss. In suggesting ways to aid these countries and stimu late American trade witn tnem, pa sara, extension of long-time credit, tne or eanization of ar syndicate pool to make tpeclfic advances, the purchase in the United States or Latin-American secur ities, and the establishment of Amer ican banks in those countries were the plans that had been proposed. Foreign-Trade Banks Ementlal. The last suggestion, he said, was the most Important and the other threo de pended largely upon its accompilsn ment He urged amendment of the National banking laws' to permit banks to hold a limited amount of stock in "over-sea" banlcs established exclusive ly for foreign trade business, and also the establishment of joint branches of the reserve banks in foreign countries. Dr. Pratt cited the experien -e of English and German banks in latin America to show that the businesu was profitable. Last year, he said, the English banks long established had de clared dividends of from 10 to 20 per sent, while the newer German institu tions j-ecorded profits of from 6 to 10 per cent.

' y LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20. Automobile busses, which have invaded the field of lnterurban transportation in South ern California, are primarily respon sible for the request presented to the California Railroad Commission today by the three principal railroads for the withdrawal of special fare reductions. T. C. Peck, general passenger agent of the Salt Lake Railroad, said today that the motor Dusses had cut pas senger fares In two between Los An gales and various towns in Southern California. , They maintain regular schedules and carry from 13 to 20 pas sengers each trip without being subject to the charges for franchises and road and highway maintenance which have been imposed on the railroads. Motor Trucks Make Inroads. In addition, Peck declared that motor trucks, particularly in the.milk-carry-ing business, have seriously , redueed the volume of lnterurban freight for merly carried by the railroads. The Salt Lake Railroad loses $1200 a month to the milk-carrying motor truck alone, he said. The jitney bus is ' believed to have originated in Phoenix, Ariz., where one or two cars were put into operation a year and a half ago to relieve a street car tieup, caused by a carmen's strike. The first 5-eent motor bus began oper ating there on June 29, 1913. As an opportunity for profit, how ever, the jitney business did not begin to exercise its remarkable attraction on small car-owners until practically a year later. Four months ago jitney busses were unknown in Los Angeles and other Coast cities. Then a flock of them suddenly appeared in Long tieacii. a nearby Coast city, following the lead of a man who had observed the operation of the 5-cent motorcars In Phoenix. Use Spreads Rapidly. Another flock promptly appeared In Los Angeles and spread like an epi demic among small car-owners In other cities and towns. It is estimated there are todav 800 or them in this vicinity. After the first month' of Jitney com petition the Los Angeles Railroad Com pany announced that it had been com pelled to discharge 80 men and lay up 4 cars, several days ago it was an nounced that 400 streetcar employes naa Deen dismissed. Speed has given the jitneys their principal hold on patronage. They cover the routes of the traction lines in practically half the time of the elec trio cars, but the amazing increase in their numbers has brought problems of- congestion and of regulations which the City Council has not settled yet, IS GERMANY DECLARED EQUAL DEMANDS MADE BY AVAR.
