Scheme
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. Certain
highest new dealers have a grand
unannounced scheme for financing
American export.
They intend to work it throu&h
that innocent-looking little export
bank recently started here by the ad
ministration. That bank is being or
ganized to extend credits to Russia
for the purchase of American goods.
At least that was what the White
House announcement said. It failed
to hint that anything beyond that
was contemplated.
Now Mr. Roosevelt has received
private recommendation from hla
leading foreign trade adviser urging
the extension of that export bank
into a general credit financing
agency. ,
In other words, we would lend
more money to Europe and South
America before we collect what they
owe us now.
Intent
In theory the enthusisata have a
good argument. Foreign nations can
not buy much here now without
credit. They are not going to get
any great amount of credit irom
bankers who have been bitten once
by that bug. Therefore, the gov
ernment must do the financing to
help our farmers and our export
manufacturers. We are lending and
even giving money away for other
recovery purposes, so why not for
foreign trade?
It sounded so good to Mr. Roose
velt when he first heard it that he
indicated confidentially to some of
his associates it might be all right.
Then he got to looking into it.
There are vindications now that he
will step on it wflh'V hob-nailed
boot. He can do it by merely con
fining the bank to the Russian mat
ter and saying nothing more about
it.
Experience
The defaulted war debts were
largely incurred when we financed
foreign purchases of war supplies
here. Of course, nothing so vast is
contemplated now, but Vie principle
is essentially the same. It may be
true that we stand a better chance
to get back our money on new loans
than on our old ones. Also, the
scheme might be tied up In a fancy
way with an idea of getting some
money on the war debts.
But even if the credit Is good, the
scheme Is bad for other reasons. It
presupposes that the foreigners will
bay more .here than we buy from
them. That means we will be launch
ing a policy of making all the world
owe us more money. It will make
us a bigger creditor nation than we
are now.
Some people believe that la one
of the main things which caused the
depression. The world could . no
longer take our surplus products or
pay for them, so the surpluses plied
up on our farmers and our manufac
turers curtailed production and em
ployment. Alternative
If this scheme Is turned down, Mr.
Roosevelt will be in a foreign trade
dilemma.
The only alternative which has
been suggested on the Inside is that
means must be found to increase our
imports, so that we will buy from
the world as much as It buys from
us. That U a sure way for us to
get paid, but It also has hidden dif
ficulties. It means Mr. Roosevelt must get
tariff bargaining powers from con
gress and there is considerable doubt
whether ,he can get the powers. Also,
the imports would have to be se
lected with care so as not to step on
the toes of domestic manufacturers.
If you find the answer to the
problem you can address Mr. Roose
velt at 1000 Pennsylvania avenub.
In n
The sly treasury department has
auKgeMed it is collecting data on
silver investors Just for fun.
Denials have been made officially
that the administration contemplate
nationalization of silver In the same
way as gold. The denials are sincere
and o Is the fun.
Every Washington insider knows
what it means.
For months now stories have been
Eolng around about speculation in
the silver market. Certain interested
parties are suspected of having start
ed bullish rumors about administra
tion intentions rrcardinc sliver. Their
purpose may have boon to make
money in the sliver market.
Namra of several more or less
prominent person have been men
tioned In that respect.
If the names of any government
employe or officials are found on
that list, the fun will turn serious.

Recent statements from New Deal
ers Oeorce Peek and Jesne Jones

export bank Idea will be carried out.
