A reconstruction program not looking to ward the payment or liquidation of America's huge credits to the allied na tion will mark the United States tor utter destruction. This warning was sounded here today by William B. Colver, chairman ef the ' federal trade commission. In an address "" before the tenth annual convention of he American .Specialty Manufacturers association. Commissioner Colver pointed out that if America had debts in foreign coun- maintain a balance of trade, and enable this nnnntnr in fmnrt fnrwl and raw ma terials In excess, of the value of our im port. But, Mr. Colver continued, a nation cannot be a creditor nation and an exporting nation without taking goods in exchange for its exports and, eventu ally, liquidating its credits balances through surplus imports, except that it build up abroad a constantly increasing credit balance. FoailblUUet Pointed Oat Therefore, in exchange for the ex portatlon of those things of which we have the greatest surplus and can pro due most cheaply, America must take in exchange from every quarter of the globe importations of those, things which we most desire and cannot ad vantageously produce. Such a pro vision must be specifically contained in our reconstruction program, he said This, with a fair field in the world's markets for competitive -goods, Mr, 'Colver continued, would make each transaction profitable to both the buyer and seller. It would permit the grad ual liquidation of such part of the money debt that the world owes the United States as may not be usefully employed as International credits and working capital for the facilitation of America's .world commerce. Warning Is Voiced T6 leave the present credit balances of the United States unliquidated," Mr. Colver said, "and to add to their huge iiu or ui uen ui iwiu mur im ports, would be to build up a world-wide commercial empire. "Commercial Imperialism was what Germany sought And upon this founda tion was built the war machine of Ger many. The pan-Germanic program for world-wide economic and financial domination was Oenjvany'a death war rant. Being unable to feed the monster by peaceful trade expansion, she was compelled to Invoke war. "A reconstruction program for the United States looking to the building on top of the credit balances, unending mountains of international credits will tend not only to make the United States the most hated nation in the world, but to mark her for destruction, tit means commercial Imperialism."
