FAVORED NATION TREATMENT.
Germany7s Demand for Same Rates as
Canada on Paper and PuIp.

Germany7s Demand for Same Rates as
Canada on Paper and Pulp.
(From New York Times, Dec. 81, 1919
Discussing the reported retaliatory
action of Germany upon tariff rates
growing out of it's dissatisfaction with
the refusal Of the United States to
conform to the favored nation treaty
In the matter of pulp and paper, Her
man Ridder of the Committee on Pa
per of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association, said yesterday:
Germany passed a law on Febru-
airy 5, 1910, wherein it arranged its
tariff so that the United States was
accorded the lowest duties. AS a re-
suit of that action President Taft pro-
claimed under date of February 7,
1910, that Germany had accorded re
c1procal and equivalent treatment to
the products of the United States and
was entitled to the minimum tariff.
The Germans now resent the discrimi-
nation Of the United States, whereby
Canada obtains free admission for its
pulps and paper, while Germany is de-
! MED equivalent treatment. Apparent
ly, the formal applications of five for
eign Governments for the benefits of
the favored nation clauses of their
treaties with the United States have
been ignored
Within eighteen months ate "a.
adjustment was made with Germany
the Administration has ignored that
arrangement and precipitated a com
plication that should be avoided. Bad
faith is even more reprehensible in in
ternational dealings than in individual
affairs, because in affairs of nations
there is no superior power to force
them to observe their obligations. A
nation which attempts to evade the
clear letter of it's agreement loses
caste.
Though the treaty with Germany
provides that any particular favor
granted by the United States to any
other country shall Immediately be-
come common to Germany. the Adj
ministration at Washington refuses to
take such action.
Who will trust us if we refuse to
keep our written word which is the
supreme law of the land What ro-
spect can we hope to obtain from 9TH
er nations if we ignore our agree
ments with them "

Henry Clews' Letter

New York, Jan. 8.-The first week
Of tire new year showed a slight bet
/ terment in both financial and CONNER
cial sentiment. The improvement
was not so much observable in any
! increase in the volume of business as
in the recognition of the fact that,
while conditions are conflicting and in
ne respects unsatisfactory. cor
7ective forces are steadily at work.
'iere and there are signs of abatement
! in general unrest which is beginning
to show itself in a more rational atti-
tude in political circles toward large
corporations. The only exception is
fresh outbreak of the investigation
mania in form of an inquiry regarding
the alleged money trust" While
trusts and the tariff are still the first
subjects of Importance in the public
mind, the chances OF their being reas-
onably dealt with are much better
than three or six months ago. No
radical action on trusts Is probable
during the present session of Con-
gress, which will be chiefly devoted
to active and possibly somewhat
heated discussion. There is, however,
some prospect of positive action on
the tariff question, the greatest llkeli- |
hood being sharp cut in the steel
schedules and the placing of iron ore
on the free list. AS for cotton and |
wool schedules, these also may be re-
vlsed l'lt at the moment it looks as
Z steel would come first. The labor
outlook is somewhat uncertain, but

actual output OF new securities last
year is now estimated at about ST.
790,000,0O0, including approximately
$990,000,000 bonds, over $4,000 900
short-term notes and only about $685.
C00,0G0 in stocks. This tremendous
preEoaderance of bord issues over
stocks is highly significant 1t means
not only large increase in the fixed
Obligations for railroads and indus
/ trial concerns, but also shows the
strong preference of investors for
bonds in order to escape the uncer-
tain.y attending ownership Of stocks.
Recently the new issues announced
have been comparatively small, but it
is understood that important issues
are still pending and awaiting favor
able conditions. In this connection it
/ is interesting to observe that some
of our financial institutions are con-
templating the issue of notes and
mortgages bearing more liberal rates
Of interest than have previously been
customary. In other words, they are
willing to raise their bids for new cap
it'll. Under present conditions 1t
would be better for our railroads to
issue short-term notes than bonds In
vestors would take the notes more
~cadily than bonds and the roads
would avoid further piling up of long
cate fixed obligations.
General business is quiet, but there
is every indication of soundness. Re-
ports from the interior are slightl
more encouraging, indications s1g.
Ga-ting that reaction has seen its
worst AID that any change is likely
to be in the direction of better;n.

important fact Is that soil conditions
throughout the West have been excep-
tionally favorable, thus warrantfng the
expectation for a good start in next
seasons crops, Railroad earnings

the latter are offset by somewhat
disappointing increases in current

turns, the Hartman lines being nota-
BILE in this respect.
Monetary conditions, are entirely
satisfactory January disbursements
were passed without the usual flurries
experienced at that time. Money will
soon begin to flow back from the in
terror and the local outlook is for
period of considerable ease for some
time to come. The situation may,
however, be materially influenced by
conditions abroad. Large German
loans mature in this market during
January. The monetary strain in |
Berlin is still noticeable, the last |
weekly statement of the Imperial
Bank of Germany showing loss of
marks in cash, accompanied
by an increase in loans Of 4S,0Oo,0OO
marks Berlin has again been Obliged
to call upon Paris and London for ac-
commodation, and the high 'carry-ovef
rates recently paid in this market
served to show that the strain In Ger
many brought about by the Moroccan
Incident is still to be reckoned with.
Germany has certainly received an
awkward rebuke for its aggressive at
itude in the Agadir affair of last SUM
ner. Another direction which will
ear watching in connection with the
noney market is the Canadian situa-
lon. The boom in that section Of the
ointment has been overdone, showing

believes Mark Hanna bought the Presi-
dency in 1890. But men familiar with
politics during the last thirty years, men
who have been more or less behind the

the two cases just mentioned are the
only ones in our day of Presidential choice
determined by fraud or the improper use
Of money. and one OF these is no more
than a case of suspicion because no con-
test was ever made. the facts were never

Mark Hanna raised and dlsbursed the
biggest campaign fund ever known In
the United States, but he did not buy the
Presidency away from Bryan. He did
not have to. What he would have done

money too. But there was no need; Bryan
lost the Presidency the first time he ran
