THE SUN, MONDAY,

been In The habit OF furnishing
through the foreign exchanges. and we
are engaging iu form Of banking busi-
ness In which we have yet to become ex-
pert Nevertheless In less than hale
year from the beginning OF the war We
have assumed the task OF assisting world
trade which the war has devolved upon u.s.
Our bankers are fast becoming familiar
with the means and facilities which are
being put in their possession for the crea-
ton OF a world money market in New
York, and who shall say that magma
ton is running riot when II conceives the
bill on New York ranking before long
with the bill on London? Under the
pressure OF the necessity resulting from
the war finance and business alike will
probably make progress in new directions
which IL would have taken years to ac-
complish in time of peace.
1t would be easy to exaggerate the inn
plication of the loans which we have be-
gun to make to foreign borrowers From
time TO time in the past small foreign
loans have been placed in this country
nor Is our status as debtor nation, repre-
sented by the large holdings OF our securi-
ties abroad changed forthwith by de-
partures in the direction of an UNI
precedented extension of credit to other
countries. Yet a new departure OF most
optimistic omen is denoted by the steps
other nations to finance themselves in a
period OF worldwide strain. 1t marks what
In all probability Is the permanent entry
OF the United States into the field OF world
banking. and although American finance is
only answering to the inducements of OPP
portunty created by the war it Is not
likely that the steps will be rctraced An
entry of this kind once made into new
economic territory Is likely TO prove an
enduring and increasing occupation.
Even before the acute phase OF last
autumn's financial crisis had passed we
while still engaged in settling our current
foreign debit balance. In continuing re
work thus commenced we will be making
a profitable discharge Of the obligations
Incurred with the advantage that the war
has brought to us. but In doing so we
give evidence of tho great stability and
strength of American institutions and
testify to the possession of the courage
and stt with which to render our
stability and strength of service to our
selves and the rest OF the world.
Why, then. should confidence not he
felt In the future of values in this coun-
Try? Prudent qualifications can be urged
regarding the differences which are war
ronted by our sudden Inheritance of in
ternational financial power, but tho cir
cumstances Of war are enough to induce
all the caution that the business and bank
ing situation requires. There is more
probability that the optimistic portcn;s OF
our foreign trade movement and our ex-
portH OF capital and credit may fail OF
sufficient emphasis,

The Galveston News has done Itself
a great injustice in the blind, unrea-
sonable, Illogical position It Is taking
on the proposed legislation relating
TO the State University and the A. d
NJ. College. The News is so bitter
against the A. & NJ. College and so
bllndly partisan in favor Of the Uni
versity that It completely reyerses
itself on many Of its fundamentals
and controverts its own doctrines
and teachings. Its latest outbreak IS
an attack on the separation planks
in the Democratic platforms OF 1910
and 1912. On this point the News
says:
The fact Is, the decree for separa.
tion was made without a sufficient
study OF the facts. There had been

RIGHTEOUSNESS Of the practice. A
platform declaration for which no
popular authority could be asserted

voting for separation, and it has even
been used to challenge their right 10

Greater authority has never been as.

The above is sadly out of line with
the teaching of the News for long
years on platform demands. The
