European loans shift global markets and American industry
European borrowers drew over 152 million in February in American money as France and others seek more funds for Europe’s rehabilitation. High rates and large discounts aid profits, while Germany and others use borrowed funds to compete in world markets by offering longer credit. England and France lament German and Belgian steel losses, signaling a tough, survival of the fittest fight among Europe’s economies. American bankers could curb this by tying future loans to credit terms, but American industry resists paying the premium for European competition.

He noted arrests for intoxication rose numerically but comprised a smaller share of total arrests, from 32.5 percent before prohibition to 18.8 percent in dry years. He attributed overall increases to traffic, sanitation, school laws, and municipal ordinances, insisting public welfare drives enforcement.
