if the peace Treaty had been signed in
Washington an International Exchange
Gommftte.e would have been organized
long before now to stabilize exchange
and bring about other necessary read
justmenta. Never during the darkest
days of the war, when the Germans
were almost at Paris, did British and
Fr# rich exchange go to where it is now.
The British during the war, by :i sys
tem of credits with the United States,
had sterling “pegged” to 84.52.
“The tension over the gold exports
curtailed there, was nothing to keep it
that close to parity. Indeed, unless tho
United Htates loosens its purse strings
there are London financial experts who
say the pound sterling will drop an low

would be a two edged sword injuring
both England arid the United Htates.
“Europe is like a man on the verge

gradually until the stomach becomes ne

aim hfin been all along to ‘stuff’ Europe
with all kinds of American products. We
have piled up a trade balance, accord
ing to former ■ Secretary of t'ominerc*
Kedfleld, aggregating $4,000,000,000 a
year. Europe’s financial ayrttem, like
the .starved human stomach, has been
unable, to assimilate, it. Consequently, we
thus contribute to the demoralization of
foreign exchange and, incidentally, by
Inflation help to lower the purchasing!
power of our own dollar.
