WASHINGTONS OPPOR-
TUNITY.

There is no city IN the world that
can view the financial situation, ir
such a trying time as this, so com
placently as Washington Not one.
Twice a month the great Govern.
ment pay roll is distributed to some
5000 national employees and officials
in this town, in crisp, new bills. That
is one pay roll that will be met
though everything this side the heav-
ems falls. Whatever worries may af-
flict the financiers Of other towns,
in connection with scraping together
and then daring to turn loose the
money to meet the demands Of their
customers who mustpayotf employees,
Washington knows them not. The
Government employees will get their
money, and nobody will have to
stretch and strain his credit in order
to insure that they will get it.
In addition to this, Washington as
On independent community, entire
ly aside from its relations with the
Government, is happy in being the
possessor of a powerful, conserva-
tive, and absolutely secure fabric of
financial institutions. There is alb
solutely no reason why anybody in
this town should hesitate to handle
his money in exactly the way he
has always done: deposit it in bank
and check against it as necessity re-
quires. The idea Of withdrawing
and boarding is particularly mex
cusable here.
A time like this is the opportunity
for business in Washington. In
trenched and secure, the business
community is in position to under
take such measure for expansion
Of trade as would be impossible al
most anywhere else. There is vast
field of opportunity for such pro-
gram. Washington is entitled by
reason of its location to multiply its
trade many fold throughout the Sec
ton naturally tributary to it, and in
which this city has the close rela-
tons that a magnificent transporta-
ton system provides. This is the
era of opportunity for Washington
business.

er it is literally true; it ought to be
that a group of rich men aboard
got together and offered to buy the
ship, hoist the American flag in
place of the German flag, and sail
ahead to see whether anybody would

ditions. OF course, that was impos-
