Cleveland, Ohio, Nov: 21. (I. N. S.)
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."
