In that period the European picture may have changed. The proposal is being considered seriously to repeal the Johnson act, which forbids loans of private capi tal by Americans to a nation at war. Nobody thinks of ^a govern ment loan; we never made any ex cept when'we were actually in the war, but private investors lent^noney to the allied nations before we got in—and got their money back with interest.
