IRATE poinwa 01 'to trade r now this ts at In addressing the Omaha Real Es tate exchange at noon Victor Rose water, editor of The Bee, called at tention to the question as to whether Amerlca can hold after the war the jhig trade and commerce that has Ibeen diverted to us from other coun tries because of the war. He pointed out that because the. munition and war supply orders In America are bo large, demand for labor has been created to such an ex 'tnt that few men who really want to work need be out of work. H pointed out that countries that used with the nations now at war trading with us, and that nother reason for our In creased activity at this time. To Try to Holt tmtneaa. "There has Just been inororated In New York City." he said, "a big- com pany of SoO.OO.OOO capital, the aim of i which la to hold Ihe trade and business we have built up during the war. Th charter gives the company power to do almost anything that Is necessary, such as hulldlnR ships, providing- various fa cilities, buying real estate, or anything 'that is necessary to their end, Whether .they will be successful in accomplishing 'their aim remains to be seen, for It la; certain that at the close of the war our business with Europe will fall off." Discussing the financial situation grow tng out of the war, he showed that ' European financial Interests In big Amer ican companies and projects, have largely disappeared, since their stocks and shares were In a sense exchanged for our goods, until the result Is that Interest and .riivlifcMiris In large American companies are now more largely paid to American capitalists than before. ,rWe have thus j kept at home," he said, "what was for-1 merly spend abroad. At the same time Interest has gone up with the Increased mand for money abroad. The demand or money Is so great that private cap- , Ital will probably be more backward shout going Into various factories and big utilities. We cannot tell as yet, but this max have some influence In stim ulating cities and governments to take over big , undertakings of this kind In utead of waiting for private capital." - Fiperte More Immigration. The speaker said he looks for Increased Immigration after the war, but admitted that men differ widely as to this. "Per jeonally," he said, "I feel that there wilt be the prospect of further militarism that I win loom up before the men and fam lllies of Europe and have some influence , In causing them to look across the water for a. refuge." Touching on the thought that has been advanced that European countries will nationalize more closely than ever before following the war, Mr.' Rosewater said: 'JffWWigif .'wintrles 'nationalise them selves, wevm,ut dq it. We must protect our Industries better and we must protect ourselves. Wi most protect our people who choose to Invest In foreign countries, so that when trouble comes they will not be told, ,'Tou get out; you went at your own risk;' i That kind of thing must stop."
