Starting the Banks Together

THE Federal Reserve Boards determine
i ton that the opening for business of the
twelve regional reserve banks shall be stimuli
taneous wise one. 1t was difficult to
agree with the plan, that had been given ton
tative approval, to open three or four of the
banks in November and the others as occa-
sion permitted.
The new currency law makes many and i'm
portant changes in the banking system. 1t
is a national law, of course, operating over
the whole country. Its arms are the regional
reserve banks. There would seem to be
every reason why these banks should start
business at the same time, and good many
reasons, as the Federal Reserve Board ap-
pears to have concluded, why that time should
be the earliest date possible.

Tho papa1 Secretary of State

wv HEN Pope Benedict XIV appointed as
w his secretary Of state Cardinal Dominic
Ferrata, who has since died, his act was
generally held to be hopeful augury of
better relations between the papacy and the
Italian court. The late cardinal was said
to be on terms Of greater intimacy with the
Italian King than probably any other high
prelate. 1t is not likely that Cardinal Fer
rata's successor secretary of state will be
other than one who will carry out the con-
ciliatory desires of the Pope who has at
the outset Of his pontifcate been bereft of
a close friend and experienced diplomatist
The new papal secretary of state, in addition
to promoting the sorely needed better rela-
tions with the Quirinal, will have much i'm
portant work to do at the close of the present
war 1t will be his task to cement and
sol1dify the altered attitude of the French
government towards the Roman Catholic
clergy The very large number of priests
who have returned to France to Join her
armies either to give spiritual comfort to
the soldiers or to take their share as French
men In the fighting, has credibly been re-
ported to have greatly softened the official
attitude towards the priesthood, although 1t
probably remains the same with respect to
clericalism.
That papal diplomacy is no longer a fac
tor in the statesmanship of the world, is per
haps proven by the fact that 1t is now with
out influence either to initiate or to terminate
warfare

Sales to BclIigerents by Neutrals

THERE has been a good deal of foolish talk
L about the supposed violation Of the let
ter or spirit Of the Presidents neutrality
proclamation in the sale OF supplies by Amer
lean business men to European countries now
at war Just as there never was any sim
cerity in these criticisms, so there has been
mighty little sense.
international law, of course, never has pro-
hibited the sale of any article by n neutral
to belltgerent--has never proclaimed that
such sales involve any violation of neutrality.
International law, true enough, has set aside
as contraband, actual or conditional, such
articles as munitions OF war. coal, food for
the forces under arms, and the like, which
are subject to seizure and confiscation by the
foes of the nation - which they are con-
signed, but the neutral government never
has been charged with the responsibility Of
preventing such shipments
The fact is, Of course, that this drivel and
drool about violations Of American neutrality
would never be inflicted on the public were
the channels of ocean trade open to all the
countries now at war. In that event, the
American manufacturer would sell his -four,
his automobiles, his machine guns or his
blankets wherever he could get the best price.
1t would be, In this hypothetical case, as it
Is under present conditions, plain business
transaction.
AS things stand, Great Britain and the al
to seize shipments to Germany or Austria, the
American manufacturer can sell only to Ger
manys enemies. That Is the occasion of all
the unpleasant, cultural noises.
1t would be remarkable situation, indeed
If American business men, suffering as they
are from the effects Of war for which they
are not in the remotest degree responsible,
should deliberately throw aside the chance
to do profitable business with any OF all OF
the belligerents. favorite remark OF their
critics Is that they "prolong the war" by SELL
ing supplies to embattled Europe. II the
charge be true, which is doubtful, II means
that Germany and Austria will defeat the al
lies Quicker II no supplies are shipped them
from this country. 1t is quite as fair to say
that such shipments will shorten the war by
enabling the allies sooner to crush Germany
and Austria
In any event, circumstances, not choice
determine customers If shipments from this
country could be landed in Germany, there
can be no question they would be made.
1t is believed generally, indeed, that good
, many shipments, particularly Of grain and
other foodstuffs have been sent through Hbl-
land for the use of tho Kaiser's armies.
Since tho world began, neutrals have been
selling to belligerents. and while wars en-
dure the practice is likely to continue. II
there is any occasion for regret, 1t is that
Richmond is not getting an even larger
share of this business.

Civil Service and Medals

1T is told Of the servants Of European gov
l ernments and municipalities that in all
grades the rivalry is intense for decorations
which occasionally are not even Of precious
metal and frequently do not even carry the
right to title. This is particularly true of
Germany, where medal of the fourth class
of something or other is said to be more
highly esteemed than an increase In monetary
compensation.
We do not run to this sort of thing in the
United States, but We take 1t out by joining
secret societies. where we may enjoy an end

The professor resigns to free the university

1t is improbable that the resignation will
be accepted. The university will not be will
ing to place itself in the position Of having
bartered it's faculty's right of free speech for
any number OF millions. and this despite its
fundamental disagreement with Professor
Munsterberg's too-biased views. Normally,
perhaps it would have been glad to let the
Herr Professor go; 1t can hardly do 80 when
1t would seem to have sold him for a price.
But there might be nothing uncompliment-
airy even in this. Ten million dollars Is

the income from such an endowment 1t would
be possible to hire whole flock Of professors.

Perhaps, too, they have come to think that

tion to the employer without compensation
is not wise. AS precisely the same attitude
is common among the employees Of private

may grieve, but one can scarcely feel any
