"a Call for Courage"

That there must necessarily be liqui-
dation at and before the reopening of
the stock exchange goes without say
ing. That this liquidation may mean
suspensions Of houses entirely solvent
before the outbreak of war is true
here as it is in London. But suspensions
will not be dishonorable. and they will
be inevitable. The longer they wait
on the speculative chance of some
thing turning up the weaker the gen.
eral position must be.
Doubtless the banks have the de-
Gliding voice in the reopening Of the
stock exchange. Their customers and
debtors cannot fail without some loss
to those who have lent them money.
But the position must be faced. The

But all who are involved in the trou-

effort should be made to close open
trades in securities, to reduce loans,
to add security to collateral, where
loans are not sufficiently secured. to
the end that the opening Of the Sc

He now says "SoP' paid the Chi
