Ship Capitalists Are
Relied on By Wilson;
Gold Supply Protected
Washington.—President Wilson In
a conversation with newspaper men
today made a strong statement ot
his confidence that the country is pre
pared to meet the existing iiKeraa
tional financial derangement and to
straighten out all domestic difficul
ties tha may grow out of the Euro
pean war.
Ha said that the only thing that
[ can work damage to the country ajid
i force it to suffer unnecessarily stir
j what is going on in Europe is unrea
sonable excitement -and apprehension
on the part, of the Americans them
j selves.
The president expressed the hope
| today thaa many ships would be plac
ed in the trans-Atlantic trade under
the American flag which are now In
the coastwise marine. He was confi
dent that American capitalists would
be glad for practical reasons to in
vest in all ships available for the
trans-Atlantic trade.

that bankers there share witn Wash
ington ofiicials the expectation that
England and France will be able
through their naval strength to con
trol the Atlantic amt keep the ocean
open to commerce between these na
tions and the United States.
England, it was pointed out, is the
greatest market for American [frod
ucts and if that government is able
to keep open avenues of transporta
tion with the United States the prob
lems for this country involved in the
war will be greatly simplified.
