sTEFANsSON'S ARCTIC FIND

Vilhjalmar Stefansson and his
Canadian exploring party in the Arc
tic wilds, have turned up, very much
alive and in excellent health--aa
Arctic explorers, by the way, are
apt to be if they know how to take
care Of themselves-to report that
they have found new land, possibly
OF continental proportions, to the
north Of Mackenzie bay. It is q
territory that, had it been discovered
by Americans, would very properly
have been made q part Of American
holdings in the north, for it seems
to bear quite as intimate relation
ship to Alaska as to the Dominion.
However, the value of the new
regions for any practical purpose is
not such as to justify any regrets
that the Union Jack rather than the
Stars and Stripes will presumably
float over it, If anybody cares to
fare thither to see it.
SSSAoACCOh OWh ICPOAtS 90 AC-
ceived thus far indicate that his
party has not even suffered any
very extraordinary hardshps. 1t
has been saving wood; attending to
the business for which it went north,
which was to learn what was there.
Its work has been done with intel
ligence, persistence, courage, and
scientific care for preservation of
accurate data. Great distances had
to be covered over thin ice, and the
usual risks Of such tours in the
north were encountered. Months
ago most people gave up hope that
the party would ever return. 1t left
Martin Point, Alaska, in March,
1914, and was SO long out of all
communication with the world that
there was little apparent chance for
any other conclusion than that its
story was to be numbered with the
disasters Of Arctic exploration. In.

part Of what it undertook to do

OUR FINANCIAL POWER

Some idea Of American financial
power, at this time when al the
world looks to us to be its banker,
may be gained from q compilation
made, by Dow, Jones & Co. Of the
deposits Of some Of the leading ma
tional banks Of the United States.
Taking only twenty-nine national
banks reporting on September 2 de-
posits of more than $25, ZOO, 900, we
find that from $3.50, iii 900 on June
%, this year, and $245, ,646, 900 on
September IL, 1914, the gross de-
posits of the National City Bank of
New York had increased on Saptem-
Der 2, this year, to 1891, ,740, 900. The
figures of the Bank of Commerce Of
New York rose from $164,O66, 900
last year to $1So,O79, 900 on June 2s
OF this year, and on up to $233, 3,271,-
600 on September 2.
The Continental and Commercial
Sank of Chicago mounted from
$139, $4,000 last year to $201, ,167 900
this year; the Chase National Bank
from about 1925, 900, 900 last year to
more than $200, 100000 this year;
the Hanover National Bank from
some $92, 100000 to some $157, ,00O,-
600; the First National Bank from
more than Sill, ,0O0,0 900 to $751;
100000, p,
Taken altogether, the twenty mine
national banks reporting gross de-
posits in excess of $25,O00,00O went
up from $2,077, ,129, 900 on Septem-
Der IL, last year, to S2,61Q 1864, 900
on June 20, of this year, and on up
to $2,930, $4,000 on September 2.
This, and the other deposits in our
thousands Of banks. national and
State, is the financial power of the
American people, to be used here at
home, as it is always ready to be
used, in supporting our industrial
and commercial life at it's fullest
possible vigor and strength. This is
true when we lend our credit,
whether for half a billion or for a
full billion, to foreign buyers; for,
lending that credit, not coin, to
them, the capital stays here to work
activity and prosperity on the
farms, in the factories and through
the markets Of the country, while
, filing those foreign orders,

F., FINANCING THE FUTURE

The Times prints today an inter
view which may be regarded as rep
!resentative Of the sentiments Of the
Administration toward the great Eu-
ropean loan that is being negoti-
ated in New York. It is q complete
answer to the objections Of two
classes of people: those who imag.
inc, like Senator Lewis, that it is 60.
ing to drain money out Of this coun-
try, and those who can see in il
only plan for financing the war.
Entirely aside from the war or the
fact Of the wars existence, the world
needs the support of the powerful
financial forces Of this country. To
withhold that support would not stop
the war. It would very probably
lengthen rather than shorten the
struggle; and it would be tanta.
mount to building a Chinese wall
around the United States and adopt
ing policy Of non-intercourse at q
time when intercourse means the
largest opportunity to serve the
world and also to promote our own
truest interests.
The worlds credit capacity, its
fund Of liquid capital, may be COM
pared to its great oceans, always
equalizing their levels, yet never
stable or absolutely on the same
plane. It is this one common fac
tor that brings all the countries in.
to constant touch; that creates q
basis for mutual understanding;
that compels consideration Of every

There would be degree of regard

America such as under no other con.

SO fixing them that a long future
might avoid another great war

creation here in the United States OF
the one great reserve of sure credit
would draw, as a magnet, the trade
lines of the world. It is truly q
