Discount Rate is
Raised 3 per cent

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE fin
nncial event of the day was the adj
vance by a full one per cent to four
per cent in official discount rate of
the Bank of England. The usual
graduation by which changes are
made in the bank rate is half of 1
per cent, and the full figure is an
indication of an emergency measure.
The news that the government of
India had bought 100000 of south
ern foreign gold to arrive in London
next Monday while the consignment
is still at sea, points to one of the
most urgent demands on the Bank
of England gold supply. The ad-
vance made by Paris money market
ency were being withdrawn, although
the supplies of money in Paris are re-
dundant and the rise in the bank rate
will be expected to hold the Paris
supply in London. Preparations for
the coming government financing Of
fers an additional motive.
The special interest of the New
York market in the English banks ac-
ton lies in it's probable effect on the
placing of bond issues with foreign
subscribers. The merchandise import
excess valuation in February and the
almost prohibitive exports prices at
which cotton and wheat are ruling
make this placing of our bonds abroad
important to provide means of invest

In fact, for many centuries to leave
Japan, or, having left it, to return, was

"And so, when it appeared that
while our government welcomed with
open arms all the people of Japan ex-

it best that they, because of utter dis

different standards of living which were
almost certain to provoke i'll feeling

the Toxic government at once took the
sound and friendly course of keeping

that there is small chance of that

WASHINGTON March 1S,-"The
strife of industrial competition is the
only war which the United States will
have cause to wage on Japan"
This is the view of Representative
Edwin DENLY, (Rep. Mich) on the re-
cent talk of the Yellow Peril. DENLY is
today one of the best informed public
men on far eastern affairs from his
ten years service in that section of
the world.
War, that is, martial warts, in my
opinion" said ne today to the United
Press, 'eniy remotely possible between
the United States and Japan. Fronting
each as we do upon slthe Pacific, the
commercial battiegroulffsof the future,
striving each for the same vast mar
kets, We shall be brought into sharper
and even sharper competition. But we
are traders before we are soldiers, and
Japan soon will be, must be, if she is
to survive in this industrial age. Sure
ly It does not follow that, because we
are both trying to build the engines,
cloth the bodies, and feed the mouths

more than we have had to. or shall
have to, fight our commercial rivals,

to our national prestige
There is not the slightest ground
in my opinion for the suggestion
which now and then obtains that there
is danger of war between the United
States and Japan or with any other
power.
1.-The fact is. We were never further
removed from the possibilities of SER
.ous conflict than We are today. Jap
an has respect and admiration for the
United States that is genuine and un-
disguised. I have found such to be,
emperor and the Katsura cabinet down
to men in every walk of life. Editors,
business men and men who influence
public opinion, covet nothing more than
favorable regard Of the United States.
No DANCER of Trouble.
IF there seems to be any conflict
of view on Japanese and American
rights in Manchuria or elsewhere, il
does not follow that any thought of
trouble enters the mind of either gov
eminent. There is nothing in the
present relations between the two
countries that can justify any i'm
putation upon the entire good faith OF
either toward the other.
What 1 have said with respect to
the United States and Japan may be
said with equal confidence with re-
gard to the United States and Great
Britain.
eff it is thought that Great Britain
is moving somewhat slowly respecting
the Chinese loan, it should be remem-
bered that an acute political situation
exists in that country, which may
make progress difficult.
81 have observed among the Brit
ish people. in official circles and out
side, the same generous regard for the
United States, which they so signally
manifested during our last war.
Germany and France entertain Tor
the United States nothing but senti-
ments of good will. Emperor William
and President Fallieres and the respon-
sible ministers of the two govern
ments lose no suitable opportunity to
emphasize this fact"

Peace With all the
Nations for America

NEW YORK, Mar. 17.-Charles War
rem Fairbanks of Indianapolis, former
vice president of the United States,
came home tonight with a message OF
peace. After an absence of nearly a
year on a tour around the world, he
arrived in New York on the steamer
Mauretania.
On the same vessel came James A.
Patten. the Chicago speculator who was
so roughly handled recently on the
Manchester exchange.
The former vice president talked
freely. Peace with Japan was the
burden of his interview and by a
strange coincidence he reaches New
York in time to be an honor guest with
President Taft at a dinner of the Am
erican Peace and Arbitration league at
the Hotel Astor Tuesday night.
President Roosevelt's administra-
tiOn," said Mr. Fairbanks, greatly
strengthened the ties of good feeling
between the United States and other
powers, and Pres dent Taft is under
stood abroad to be in favor of univer-
sal peace. There is, therefore, no evil
dence of lurking fear of our absolute
faith; and so long as that condition
prevails, there is no danger of coils
ion between the United States and
any other nation.
Diplomacy will adjust. as it should
any and all international questions we
have or are likely to have, so far as we
are able now to foresee. Nothing but
inconceivable laundering diplomacy
can bring about a conflict between us
and any OF our friends beyond the Pa
cific or beyond the Atlantic.
Taft and Knox Complimented.
President Taft and Secretary Knox
have the wisdom and the patriotism
necessary to preserve our rights in the
far east under the orderly and usual
processes of diplomacy without any
peril either to our national honor or
national peace.
"Those who now and then fill the
air with unfounded rumors of pos
sible trouble between us and any for
eign power do not thereby advance
our world wide interest or contribute
