Our EXPORT PROBLEM.
Financial DIssrrangement, Not Lack OF
ships, Hampers II.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: Con-
siderable space has been devoted to arti-
Giles on the proposal of the Government to
purchase ships to carry exports from this
country abroad owing to the war in Eu-
rope. presumably Oh the assumption that
there is at the present time lack OF
tonnage caused by the withdrawal Of ships
OF warning nations.
The difficulty with the American export
business at the present time, however. is
not one OF tonnage but one OF finance,
the question being the upsetting OF credits
and exchange. There appears to be plenty
OF tonnage available and inquiry at the
various steamship offices will develop the
fact that there are a fair number OF sail
ings arranged for the last week in August
TO Rotterdam, Antwerp, Havre. Dunkirk.
Glasgow. Liverpool, Manchester. Hull,
gu sinnia and Copenhagen.
There are also SALINAS to Greek, Span
and Italian ports as well as salings
to the Levant To South America there
are some August sailings, and to all the
ports mentioned there are numerous sail
Ings scheduled for September. one Of the
reasons for the uncertainty OF saillngs Is
lack OF general cargo, this being caused
~ The disdrr1u cement Of credits and eN
Grange already mentioned.
Much has been said about the exporting
of crops. but here again the financial
aspect appears to be the most important
one, and with this difficulty overcome /
believe IL will be found that large
amount OF the regular line tonnage now
AL Die VIII be engaged Ii might also
he worth mentioning in passing that there
is great deal more grain In England
at the present time than appears to be
generally known.
II Is a well known fact that 1t costs
more TO operate ships under American
register than under foreign, and with the
tonnage already in the trade to the varl-
Gus ports and countries mentioned the
vcrnW,n; would ma great difficulty In
making It's steamers pay. II Is also quite
u.Ik"lv that private capital Will interest
Itself in the purchase Of such foreign
ships, particularly German. as are at pres
ent out Of commission while there Is talk
OF the Government purchasing them. as
reports now Indicate that owners are ask
ing higher prices for tonnage on account
OF the possibility OF the Government COM
peting with private capital.

An Outcropping OF DeIusion.

When so stupendous an emergency
IL thrust on civiliza ton as that which
has been the inevitable consequence Of
the European war, resort must he had
to eXpedicnts to maintain rs well as
possible the economic organization by
which the masses Of mankind are sup
ported. The commercial and industrial
fabric of society has been woven In
times of peace. and war makes huge
rents which have to be repaired in
some eXtemporized fashion.
At the same time the world has had
long experience in coping with these
emergencies and 1t has learned the part
of wisdom which is that no more emer-
gency measures should be adopted than
are absolutely necessary and Informed
judgment can approve. There IS al
ways danger that rash efforts may he
made 10 avert trouble which only court
disaster, and the great risk which at
taches 10 improvised facilities for doing
business and keeping values liquid Is
that they tend to become permanent.
II this tendency Is not controlled the
consequences are apt to be destructive.
The way of safety Is to limit tenn
porary methods and processes of facilI-
tating business Ia those which have
some warrant in past experiment and
can be retained 10 permanent advan-
tagc If they work we'll.
Emergency steps of different kinds
have been taken in this country in the
last week or so which have helped to
lessen the shock of the European war
on banking and business positions.
Everything which has been done has
commended itself from the standpoint
Of intelligence and experience, and
there is no doubt that It has served to
place the country financially in shape
10 endure the subsequent strain OF the
war.
As was to be expected. however, all
the ingenuity in the land mas begun to
exert itself restlessy In the direction
Of devislng expedents which have
nothing to commend them. Represent
alive HENRY of Texas has taken ad.
vantage of the disturbed situation and
the necessity of resortinG TO indispens-
able emergency measures and has
resurrectcd his bill In Congress for
unlimited issues of what was called
corn tassel money" during last years
deliberations on the Federal reserve
| bill lie wants the Government to emit
paper In boundless volume on the prod
ucts of the field and farm, the idea
being of course the old Populist notion
Of the nature of money, something
which the Government prints aud calls
n dollar.
There Is not much to choose between
the delusion to which Representative
HENRY wants the country to subscribe
and the movement that has suddenly
sprung up in the South to have the
cotton crop valorizcd. Southern cot
ton planters are homharding Washing.

lend up to ten. eleven or twelve cents

The Reported Jttcrances Of Assistant
secretary Breck inridgc.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. This
morning all the newspapers published a
communication given out by the German
Embassy at Washington purportng to be
a despatch received by II from the For
egn once at Berlin. That communica-
ton as reproduced in THE Sun contains
the following:
The German Foreign once advised the
Embassy In another wireless despatch that
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge Of the
United States war Department, who had
reached Berlin with relief funds. praises
the attitude Of the German people toward
Americans and declared II a duty to inform
Americans OF the victories OF the German
armies and Of the excellent spirit OF tho
German nation.
Thus an appolntee OF the President sen;
abroad on an official mission as represent
alive of tho American Government un-
dertakes to act as press agent for Ger
many.
An Assistant Secretary of War OF the
United States who considers Il "a duty
20 inform Americans OF the victories OF the
German armies and OF the ttcellent spirit
OF the German nation" ought to have free
opportunity to discharge that duty solely
in the press agent capacity In which he
performs IL and at the expense of the
Government for whose benefit he performs
II. not at the expense Of the American
Government.
All of which IN respectfully submitted
through the medium of THE SUN for
timely attention TO the honorable author
OF the declaration OF mental neutrality
on the part OF the American people. from
whom the German press agent in ques-
ton derives his commission as a paid
officer OF the American Government.
Ought not the President. in conformity
with his own declaration. investigate
Immediately the authenticity of the
Breckenridge statement, and upon Its being
proved genuine ought he not TO take with
respect TO the aforesaid Assistant Secre-
tary OF War action I'm conformity with
the true spirit OF neutrality? NJ. l..

In statement signed by Mr.. MIL.
WILLIE f. STONE purporting to correct
missiatements In an article In the Al
idntic Monthly which criticised the or
ganization and methods Of the Associ.
ated Press, there occurs this passage:
Tho assertion that franchise TO a news
paper In New York or Chicago is worth from
$4,000 to $500. 900 will amuse thousands
OF people who know that five morning
Associated Press newspapers OF Chicago,
the Chronicle. the Record, the Times, the
Free PresSo and the IntcT Ocean, have
ceased publication IN the somewhat re-
cent past and their owners have not re-
ce!ved a penny for their so-called fran
chse.' The Boston Traveller and Evening
Journal were absorbed and their member
ships thrown away. The Christian Set
erco Monitor voluntarily gave up its
membership and took another service
which II preferred The Hartford Post.
Bridgeport Post, New Haven linton and
Schenectady linton did the same. Cases
where Associated Press newspapers have
ceased publication have not been infre-
quent Witness the Worcester Spy, St
Paul Globe, Minneapolis Times. Denver
Republican, San Francisco Can New or
leans Ptcdyuns, Indianapolis Sentinel and
Philadelphia Times, as well as many
others"
Mr.. STONES memory is playing him
odd tricks, or else he is ignorant OF
n clever little transaction of the finan-
cially clever little Mr., ADoLPH s. OCHs
In Philadelphia some years ago.
OcHs bought the Philadelphia Times
but found II losing venture lie then
secured control OF the Public Ledger of
Philadelphia and desired to merge the
Times into It. Both papers had Asso.
ciated Press franchises. but OCus did
not propose to abandon one without
compensation. \ meeting of the pub.
fishers of the other morning papers In
Philadelphia was held OCHs repre-
sented that rich Plttsburg man
wanted to buy the Times, but agreed
for a consideration not to sell It: In
other words, 10 put its Associated Press
franchise out of competition. Four
publishers gave him $4,000 each. and
the Times franchise is now owned by
the Philadelphia papers and remains
imperative.

4 Real Consolidation or Merely

Half a dozen State and city depart
mems and bureaus now share author
ity over building operations in New

clash, and their condolences afford
frequent opportunities to cvade respon
slblities and escape blame. Such
condition Of confusion needs no com.
mentary; It's open sclf-condemnation Is
complete.
AS a remedy, the Wagner factory in
vestigating commission has proposed
the consolidation of All existing agen-
clcs having jurisdiction over the con
etruction and alteration of buildings in
this city. The new department would
he known as the Department of Build
ings, and In it would be reposed the
functions now exercised by the live

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: Out
OF all this hldeous European inferno OF

one great and ennobling thought for every

Ii Is this:
ours is a nation OF peace. so conceived
and so designed in the overhead scheme
OF things Peace Is our birthrlght. our
capital, our pride. our best beloved child.
BY peace alone can we work out our
providential destiny.
Born In ireland and landing at Castle
Garden thirty years ago, now for the
first time have got a correct perspective
OF what the Stars and Stripes means to
me and should mean TO every man who
earns his living under this magnificent
flag.
