Pacifists Also Scored.
NEW YORK, April 28. Charles E.
Hughes, former secretary of state,
vigorously defended the government
'of the United States against charges
of imperialism In un address today.
He spoke at a luncheon of the cham
ber of commerce of the state of New
York at which he was presented with
an honorary membership.
."There are some who have an in
veterate though mistaken notion that
our country cherishes an imperialistic
policy," he said. "They get political
hetidaches from eye strain caused by
the effort to see what docs not exist
They imagine, for instance, that they
discover a government controlled by
bankers. To tho bankers themselves,
conscious of the extent and Inevitable
risks of their unaided efforts, such
charges must seem to be the perfec
tion of Irony. '
loan Must Be Prlvatto
"The truth is that the Investment
of foreign loans Is and must be
private affair. The businessmen of
Amorlcn know that tho government Is
not going to Involve itself or promise
tho aid of military forces to collect
debts. Naturally the department of
stnte has desired Information as to
transactions with foreign govern
ments. While the government does
not control private investments, It
has wished In tho interests of the gen
eral peace -and sound condition .of
commerce to discourage loans for'un-
I productive purposes, such as would
to strengthen military' establish
ments in a-world that needs more of
enson and less of arms.
"But," he added, "thoso who at
tempt to convey to other governments
tho impression that Jug-handled pro
posals have some sort of favor at
Washington are Boon made aware of
tfie displeasure that attends such mis
representation and una tnemseives
worse off than:when they started."
Commerce, he said, could bo made
a peacemaker throughout the world,
but ho continued, "I conress 1 am dis
posed to look pacifiers over care
fully." '
Our policy rests on tne conviction
that given an equni opportunity
abroad, fair and equal dealing Amer
ican businessmen can take care of
themselves."

Ho continued, "It Is because If this

businessmen are not associated wltn

ment does, not play favorites among
American business. - I .believe tnat tne
government has and should have the
utrnnir sunnort of business organiza
tions in maintaining this intelligent
rontrilint."
He Insisted that the government
was "acting tn tne interest u
and order when it was besought by
other governments as well as by
Amnrlrnn Investors not to give guar

Of England to export gold bullion, it
wrb announced by Winston Churchill,
chancellor- of the exchequer, In his
budget speech In the house of com
mons this afternoon.
The bank's special license, - Mr.
Churchill said, would operate from
today pending the formal lapsing on
December 81 next ot the 1920 act pro
hibiting the export of gold bullion.
Mr. . Church 111 characterized tne
yield from internal revenue as "satis
factory." ' ' '
ExcesB profits and corporation pront
taxes showed a deficit of 9,000,000
pounds, but these were "moribund"
taxes and were more than counter
balanced by the yield from income
tax, super an death taxes.
The consuming power of the British
people has been maintained, declared
Mr., Churchill.
He said he realized that the surplus
of the late chancellor's estimate cor
responded with remarkable accuracy
to- the budget's revenue from spirits.
Tobacco had fallen 2,000,000 pounds
sterling below the last budget esti
mate, but beer had advanced by 1,000,
000 sterling.
; Mr. Churchill said he was making
arrangements to obtain credits In the
United States for not less than aou,-
000,000 with possible expansion. ,
The , American credits neing ar
ranged for, Mr. Churchill said, would
only be used if and when required and
he did not expect that it would be
necessary to use them. ' "
