prevent an undesirable expansion OF
credit. Care will also be needed to con-
serve the domestic gold supply, which
is large and widely scattered all over
the country. Our best safeguards are
to persistently retire redundant cur
rency and to develop the export trade
as much as possible. Our exports have
already recovered wonderfully from the
war. partly owing to the big foreign
demand for our foodstuffs. and partly
to the urgent inquiries for war mate
rails from the various bel1igerents. One
government official has always stated
that the war will add $500, 00O, 900 to the
foreign commerce of the United States.
Violent fluctuations must be expected
to accompany the arrangement of in
ternational trade. The world has large
ly adjusted itself to the war basis: but
as soon as peace comes, another sharp
REIMBURSEMENT will follow. The great in
dustrial nations, England and Germany,
will return to work with intense eager
ness to recover what has been lost.
Competition will be keen and prices
low. This new rivalry for foreign mar
kets promises to exceed anything the
world has ever seen; and what effect
that condition will have upon the
United States is yet to be determined.
Possibly there will be an thrush of
imports, particularly under our new
tariff At the same time our exports
of merchandise might temporarily de-
cline.
Trade at home is dull. Reduced
bank clearings. declining railroad earn
ings, contraction in building, accom-
panied by an unusual number OF bust
ness failures, all furnish unwelcome
testimony In this direction But. let
1t be thoroughly understood. these
statements represent conditions that
are passed. The tide has turned. The

Pensacola Has Too
Many Policemen.

Mayor Greenhut's communication,
published elsewhere in The Journal to-
day, Should have the careful attention
of every tax-paying citizen.
The mayors contention that PEN
sacola has far too large a police force
is absolutely correct. This city has
no more use for So policemen than it
has for that many flying machines.
The Pensacola poles rorce has ioeen
added TO from time to time, not be-
cause more protection was required,
but because the political machine had
to be perfected. The taxpayers have
been bearing the burden.
Mayor Greenhut's proposal to cut Off
~ policemen is a very modest one.
Sixteen could be cut off and we would
sti1l have 36-a great plenty for a
city OF Pensacola's size and resources.
There can be but one reason for
maintaining q force of 81 policemen
and that is a political reason. Let
as see now what the commissioners
viii de-play politics or run the city
government on business principles.
