Immediate help from the United States to Europe is so imperative that “unless something is promptly done to avert the disaster which ap- prodches with constantly increasing rapidity it will spread from one coun- try ‘to another until we are all in- volved in the maelatrom of economic and financial caaos,” declared Jaimes Simpson, vice president of Marshall Field & Co. who has just returned from a two months' study of condl- tlons in France, England, Germany and Switzerland. “The leading minds of Europe.” Mr. Simpson continued, “while recogniz- ing disaster, are looking as through 2 fog and know not which way to turn. They feel that their only hope lies in America assuming Ieadership in the restoration of an orderly state of affairs as between nations.” “Let there be no mistake” Mr. Simpson emphasized, “no country c save Europe but our own." U. S. Only Savior. As a means of bringing about bet- ter ~ foundations for countries and at the same time rais- ing the United States to the leader Mr. Simpson euggested that tlie President or Secretary of the TreaSury be given unlimited Power to act with respect to the United States’ European debts and that con- ferences with America’s associates in the: war be held, after which neutral countries, and perhaps Germany. should join. These conferences, in M Simpson's opinion, will certainly come to a plan “to stabilize the exchanges of the world, without which enduring commercial ‘Intercourse between na- tious is not possible.” Mr. Simpson characterized as a “mis- taken impression” belief in some quarters that Germany is deliberate! creating a condition of bankruptcy arder to obtain modification of rep- aration terms. “So long as present conditions exist,” he declared, i8 helpless and must continue ing her printing presses overtime turning out money until total finan- of nations, cial collapse comes. And that will be |2 in the near future. Two Courses to Follow. The only two cours ‘many can follow to extricate herself from her economic and financial tangle, in Mr. Simpson’s opinion, as at present, “in which event finan- clal collapse is certain” and likely to be followed by revolution, or to decline to continue reparation pay- ments. This would mean occupation, re to continue on Mr. Simpson pointed out, which would cause industrial stagnation. A breathing spell of possibly two years in which time to organize and get herself in order would ald her to pay reparation of “not to exceed two and a half billion gold marks perf year as against the four and one-half at present demanded. She could raise perhaps one-half of this amount by a tax on her exports, which at the highest point before the war reached ten billion gold marks. This two and one-half billion marks per year should continue for as many years as neces- sary to pay the fuil amount finally determined upon as financial repara- tion.” Foreign Exehange. Referring to the depreciation of for- eign exchange, Mr. Simpson said that if France were to pay her debt to the United States today she would have to turn over nearly three times the number of francs she received, while Great_Britain_would only have to pay 25 per cent more pounds, as her exchange has been more stable. The United States could give the greatest measure of relief to her debtors, Mr. Simpson sald, by accepting repay- ment_of her loans at the same rate of exchange’ existing at the time the loans were made. Under present conditions the pos- sibility of collecting the ten-billion- dollar debt is very slight, Mr. Simp- son said, because Europe has no gpld. They could offer goods, he pointed out, but that would “certainly mean sreat unemployment in America, and rather than that we had better for- get the entire debt.” e RUMOR DENIED IN.CUBA: Contradiction of Report That U, S.
