Mr. Houston told a Paris newspaper that all America supports France in national reconstruction. He cited 400 miles of travel in northern France and noted active postwar efforts, urging that granting Europe credits fuels American foreign trade. He described a new bankers committee led by John McHugh to place European bonds in the US market and said French bond holders rose from 400,000 to 14,000,000 since entering the war. He planned to meet British financiers in England next.
