ITALY WANTS TO
WITH 0. S.
ROME, Feb. 19. — While Europe
will have to pay tribute to the United
States as the center of the world's
wealth after the war, the United
States also will be compelled to make
huge investments in Europe, accord
ing to George B Page, the banker and
financier.
Mr. Page, who has been established
, in Italy for the past quarter of a cen
tury, although a Virginian born, and
who has perhaps been longer in touch
with the European business than any
! other American, during an interview
1 with the Associated Press correspon
dent on the present and future re
t lations of the United States with Eu
! rope, and particularly Italy, said:
I “The whole world is now consider
[ ing tariff problems, the Europeans to
’ get the money to pay interest on their
’ war loans, and the United States to
i shut out products of foreign industry
i that it expects will come into sharp
! competition with Its own manufactur
] ers so soon as the war is over.
“I think it will be a mistake on both
sides of tile water to raise tariffs in
discriminately. The situation is com
ing to this: The United States is
prospering as the only big nation not
at war. She is piling up gold and
credits against Europe, her custom- •.
As a result she will have too much
money soon, so much she won’t know
what to do with it. On the other
hand. Europe's energies and money
are going into the war. When she
gets rid of the war. whicli 1 believe
will be within a year, these energies
will have to be turned back into busi
ness.
| "Now, given these two conditions,
loo much money in the United States
and plenty of energy, but less money
in Europe, there is but one logical
conclusion, the United States must
send her money, and products repre
senting money, over there to get rid
of it, to make it earn something.
“But if ail of these countries put
up tariff walls, they won’t be able
; to do business together. It would be
the case of a man biting off his nose
to spite his face. Italy, for instance,
now welcomes and will continue to
welcome trade with the United States.
Capital from the United States would

rim! good employment, nut Italy needs
' her raw cotton, her coal, and In par
ticular her electrical machinery, her
i agricultural machinery, her utensils
| for starting factories going. Should
the United States put up a tariff wall
then Italy will do the same and shut
I out these produels. Result—both par
ties losers.
"I know there is an immense field
in Italy for the United States. Italy
has long been neglected and misun
derstood. both as to her business and
as to her people. Her business men
are as honest and reliable as you may
find in any well organized country.
A failure in business is considered by
business men a calamity after which
they can never lift their hends, and
they can never get up again. There
fore business men iiere pay their hills.
“The government also is honest, and
has never tried to repudiate a debt.
In eighteen hundred and sixty-six.
when Italy's rentes were down to 42.
the government kept right on paying
interest. 1 knew one man. an Ameri
can living In Florence, who sold out
all his American stocks and bonds and j
doubled his fortune by reinvesting in
these rentes. Italy’s people are hard J
working, sober and honest. The tra
ditions about their poverty, their un
reliable methods have been handed j
down for a hundred years from the
i
time when Italy was divided up Into
little kingdoms and principalities,
warring and jealous of each other, and
does not in the least apply to present I
conditions. Nobody has ever taken 1
tiie trouble to correct these old lies.'
"Take Italy’s attitude in the pres
ent war. It too has been misunder
stood or ntisrepresenaed. Italy did ■
not want to go to war. She had juflt!
come out of a costly one in Africa, and j
was not prepared to go into another.
Then, after a long struggle, she was!
cementing a rpal sentiment of union
among her people. Much has been
said of her manner of going into the
war. You say that it has been said
that she was apparently trying to see
whether Germany or the allies would
pay the most for her services. Noth -
ing could be more untrue. In respect
to her treaty with Germany, it was not
a love affair, hut one to preserve the
peace of Europe* a peace which she
heartily desired. Germany did not
ask her consent to go to war. knowing
that Italy would immediately try to j
stop war.
"The reason Italy did not go Into
war was not because of the promise
of pay from the allies, but reluctant
ly, as a matter of national defence.
While there did not exist a hard feel
ing between the Germans and Italians
there has long been one between the
Italians and the Austrians. The Tron- ,
tier between these latter countriesJ
was such that at any time the Aus-*
Itrians could invade Italy, and Italy
could In such case defend herself only
with difficulty, a difficulty that Is
proven by the energy required in the
present war. She Is not hanging back,
but vanquishing day by day and step
by step the difficult nature of the
territory in which the advance must
be made. She will regain her old
provinces and thereby make impos
sible a future invasion by Austria.
"If the United States desires to do
business here, the right kind of busi
ness men must be sent over, those
speaking French or Italian, and men
who are willing to stay in the country
long enough to learn its ways. The
only Americans who have ever came
here previously were those merely
bent on pleasure or during the war to
sell munitions or coal or something
of that sort. Frequently these men,
because of their lack of proper train
ing, have fallen into the hands of in
termediaries of questionable charac
ters, and their ventures have not
turned out well.
"Italy will be a virgin field for
American business. Before the war
her foreign business was largely in
the hands of the Germans, because the
English and French had neglected the
markets. The Germans offered long
credits, say of six months to a year,
asking only a part payment down.
While the Germans have not. as had
been stated, any very large invest
ments of capital here, they did succeed
in doing a prosperous business. One
of the reasons for this, with the smal
ler houses, was also because the Ger
mans quoted prices and weights in
Italian money and by the metric sys
tem.”
