THE probable effect of the Euro
pean war on the commercial
prosperity of the United States
has resulted In a wide diversity Of
opinion among financiers and business
men In Washington. Some view with
alarm" and others point with pride"
to the status of this country should
the struggle be prolonged.
One prominent washingtonian. who
Is a close student of world commerce,
gives this view of the situation:
"One thought uppermost In many
minds is that the crash of war in
Europe will make great demand for
American products. Europe is the
United States best foreign customer.
The disaster Of war may stimulate that
customer to immediate increased pur-
chases, but the war in the long run
will impair that customers purchas-
ing power. Disaster to ones chief
customer may spell hardship for the
seller. And war is disaster 70 Ger

costs SO much that 1t leaves the victor

war will raise the value and the price
of our remarkably heavy wheat and
corn crops. because OF the urgent de-
mand for those foodstuffs and the with
drawal of the peasantry Of Europe
from the fields, and that just before
harvest time. War will raise the price
Of wheat and corn in Europe and will
raise 1t also to all the people Of the
United States and the people of the
United States consume more of the
American grown wheat and corn than
do the people OF Europe.
"The five hundred million people of
Europe eat wheat and corn in peace as
well as in war. and in peace they eat
more. But, according to many Of the
most sincere and respectable prophets.
the rise in value will affect only food
and forage. The cotton crop of the
United states is factor commensurate
two-thfrds of the Americana grown cot
ton. The old crop has been absorbed
and the new one is nearly ready for
market. The demand which Europe
may make for II Is one OF the features
Of the times which only can be guessed
af.
Against the demand for American
farm products should be weighed
American manufactured products. OF
the exports of the United States only
one-eighth are foOdstuffs. and OF our
total exports Europe takes more than
one-half. Increased income from Amer

the United States felt the impetuous
demand for money, the money Of ulti-
mate redemption-which is gold. Euro
ton five billion dollars in American
transportation and industrial enter
prises. The investment was gradual.
With war impending the Impulse of
those security holders was to convert
cash, which is gold. The securities were
offered for sale in greater pressure
than they could be bought and prices
slumped. When they were bought, the
exportation OF the money paid for
them was demanded and OF course in
gold.
The ratio of gold to securities that in
normal conditions are as good as gold, is
small. Obviously the United States could
not buy back in a few sessions of the
stock exchange all the American securi-
ties which the rest of the world has been
buying and accommodating for a number of
years. Good stock far below its normal
value attracted numberless Americans,
took their money out of banks and saw
ings institutions. The circulating medium
OF the country-the blood Of the arteries
Of trade-was being drawn off.
"A tourniquet was applied by the clos
ing Of the New York Stock Exchange and
related markets for the sale and purchase
of stocks and bonds. Europe still has
American securities representing hun
dreds Of millions and presumably they
are for sale II the seller could get in
connection with the buyer The more
money which the European war drains
from creative enterprise and pours into
destructive enterprise the greater will be
the demand for money by those people
who have paid money for securities. This
demand for the return of money invested
in American business may neutralize. or
more than neutralized. the money which
would come to US from tho increased SELL
ing price of crops.

Another factor in the problem is the
matter of taxation in the United States
due to curtailment of revenue from i'm
port duties In 1918 the import duties ag-
gregated 1912, ,252.215 Interference with
the shipping and because of other confu-
sion, this sum may be dangerously cut

raised by other forms Of taxation, and

After a lengthy walk the Observer
paused to witness q little drama being
enacted before the eyes of a half a
dozen people. A tall, lanky, loose
jointed colored man was trying to
