Belgium IS also crippled as an ex-

therefore. the possibility OF a call be-

always has been a sorce OF foreign
credit for the United States as its
balance Of trade always has been in
our favor. In this connection the
bulletin says
In the Calendar year 1913 we. sold
TO Canada $4O3.0OO.OOO and we
bought only $4,000 900. This gave
US a balance Of S26I,O00,00O. In 1914
our exports amounted TO $4,000. 600
and our imports TO $164,OOO.OO0, still
leaving a balance Of $146, 100000 but
meaning a net loss Of S93,000.0 90
which is very significant
While we may not expect any
large increase of trade at this time,
nor is there much room for expansion
as we already had nearly twO-thirds
OF the trade OF Canada, the loss or
$93. 100000 OF sales is alarming and
needs all our attention. Most OF our
manufacturers have shown complete
unwillingness to extend credit at the
moment that all countries urgently
demand il. but Canadian manufact-
urers. although having very much
less financial resources than we, in
many cases have granted as much
time as buyers wanted, meeting. in

H. has been fortunate that land specu-
latiOn which was rampant up TO the
beginning Of 1913 had gone through
period Of liquidation for more than
one year and a half prior 10 the war
and general conditions in that regard
are almost stable
The retardation Of the activities
OF the country for the five months OF
war IS shown by the decrease in bank

a decrease OF about twelve and one

The exports OF Canada, according
TO the bulletin for the fiscal year 1913
1914, amounted 10 SASS, 100000 or
$50. 100000 less than il imported.
AS result OF conditions caused by
the war in Europe. the financial con-

bulletin is remarkable good in the

the bulletin says

Nevertheless, says the bulletin.
while the exports from the United
Kingdom 10 Canada are large, they
are far less than those OF the United

That artificial desires aroused and.

sertion made by Kate Adams, sup't
of Coulter Home for Girls, who
spoke yesterday at the open forum of
the City club.
Prostitution represents not only
the coming together of the supply
and demand; it represents the eX-
ploitation of artificial appetite and
overworked supply" said Miss Adj
ans. Supply can be developed to
almost any extent. There is no more
efficient way to manufacture and de-
velop demand than to crowd supply
in an attractive form upon the buy
ers' attention.

New York, Jan. 10. The United

today opened its investigation to de-
termine whether the Rockefeller in
stitution, together with the Carnegie,
Russell Sage and Cleveland founda-
lions, actually possesses the power to
poison public thought by exercising
control over colleges and schools.
Chairman Frank Walsh intimated
today that one of the results of the
committees investigation may be a
recommendation to congress that a
federal foundation be created to take
over the activities of the privately
controlled foundations, such as that
controlled by the RockefeIers.

being slowly crushed beneath the
steadily increasing power Of concen-
trated wealth, Samuel Untermyer,

day called upon the government fed

tons to aid the workers.

organizations are gradually growing
