Some people will rebel against the thought of encouraging European travel in order to secure collection of these debts. The answer to that is that people will travel in Europe anyway. The visa division in the State Department is the best evidence of that uncontrovertible fact. Some will say that such a scheme will disturb the balance of trade. That poor balance of trade has been hurt so often that it is becoming accustomed to it. But by way of modifying the effect of the showing that would be made in the balance of trade it might be feasible to allocate only onehalf of the immigrant remittances and tourist expenditures. for this purpose. At all events. this seeks to set forth a concrete proposal for the solution of this problem. and I sincerely trust that the membership of this body may give some time and attention to alternative proposals that could be employed. This problem involves the interest of every taxpayer in this land.
