In other words, it was the pump- ing*of American money into Eu- roepe and Latin America by Amer- ican bankers that heightened and prolonged the boom days which followed World War I. And it was the sudden drying up of that cre dit that accelerated the bust. Mr. Hoover only need refer to his statemeRt of June 20, 1941, declar- ing a moratorium of European debt payments to jog his memory on this point WILL HISTORY And since history peats—unless Herculean taken to prevent important to review some of now pretty well forgotten finan- cial history and the differences between the E ing of 1921-31 Plan. First, let it be remembered that the Marshall Plan calls ior care- REPEAT? SO .often re- and the Mdrslnll ful, supervised spending in Europe under the nose of American ex- parts. It also provides that no money shall be loaned until a hard-and-fast ag is signed between the U tates and the country which gets the money This agreement will specify what is to be done with the money. It will also make certain that money is spent on projects which go in- to permanent peacetime reconstruc- tion. Finally, the Marshall Plan calls for the building up of allied West- ern Europe, while the pell-mell rush to lend Europe money during | the “golden of the 1920's largely benefited an enemy state, | Germany ‘The detailed story of how want- only this money was squandered has been told in- the hearings of various Congressional committees, including the Pecora banking probe and the Nye munitions investiga- steps are; repetition—it's | our | opean pump-prim- | raiser for Germany being the same man who now heads our National Defense Department—James For- restal. In Latin America also, loans were sometimes rammed down the throats of unsuspecting nations, such as the $100,000,000 loan by the National City Bank of Peru, which was floated after the son of Presi- dent Juan B. Leguia received a fat bribe; or, again, the Dillon, Read loan to Bolivia to finance the Chaco war, floated only after the Minister of Finance received a bribe. All in all, a total of $15 billions was loaned to Europe and Latin America during the boom days following World War I. And it remains an incontestable economic fact that our domestic prosperity | was synthetically buoyed up by {sending our own money abroad to | finance our own exports. In other words, our exports were largely “gifts.” It is likewise true that after every war, reconstruction money pours into needy countries. It ican be a good risk, such as some of the European money that came into the United States after our wa\'ll War—though even some of | that was partially detaulted. Or it can be a bad risk, such as the money we put into Germany and Latin America after World War I. Or it can be a carefully calculat- ed reconstruction risk, such as the Marshall Plan, in which the Uni- ted States figures in advance that its money will not come back in actual cash, but may come back in long-term dividends through a more stable Europe and the avoid- |ance of another war. UNHAPPY ALTERNATIVES None of this makes happy read- ing. But the aftermath of war !is not much happier than war it- self. It can be glossed over and made to lock happy, but actually it never is—neither for victor nor vanquished. But though no one can be too happy abkout the Marshall Plan, the important fact is that loans are not made by bankers for the purpose of collecting commissions, but under the careful supervision A.
