Tho Business Outlook.

Arrangements were made in New York last
week to bring s14.s00 900 in gold into this coun-
try.
These engagements, we learn from a New yorl,
newspaper, will bring the total amount OF the
precious metal imported into the tnttea states
since the first OF the year UP Ia sac 90 600
From the Bank OF Eugand's supplies AT Ottawa
lea. 100000; from China. $500 600. from
japan, s4,5oo00o; from London $1.100, 600. and
from Norway, 100000.
In addition to the amount of gold vhio', ave
have received in partial payment for orr ire
mendous exports since the beginning Of tho war
we nave also loaned 10 foreign countries some
thing in excess of sts5. 100000 In the same pc
Rod. the prncipal loans being distributed i'm the
following manner: % Canada s55.1Rn eco. 10
Argentina, s30,o00,000 to Russia s25 600 coo.
t. Switzerland, $40 600 600; to France $40 c0o
oo0; to Panama. 5000 600; to Norway So
100000. and to Sweden, $1,000 600 There have
also been a number Of small loans which HAYS
not been reported, and it is probable that n a
complete compilation were available. the Grand
total would BIO in the nelghborhood Of $780,
600, 600.
Fhe factor which has made possible those
sold engagements and loans to foreign interests
Is the extraordinary excess OF our exports over
our imports. From the first of last August TO
the end OF February we accumulated credit in
foreign trade OF s6S3 294.622. Of which s52e,-
tos9o1 has been accumulated s'nee November
l. In the four months from November to Feb
ruary, our exports have amounted 70 st01s-
ll7,961 while our imports have been on!v s4sS-
TI4.060.

OUR LETTER TO BRITAIN.

The adminiFtratio can but De commended by
It's opponents for the character Of its foreign
diplomacy. particularly with regard to tie recent
notes to Germany and England Nobody has
lost his temper nobody has made threata. no
body has made statements that are net backed
mp by facts.
One Of the strongest points IN presenting q
case OF delicate diplomatic relationships Is TO
understate your case, hut to DO SO IN such way
that the opposition must recognize It's strength
more strongly for the underztatement Our re
cent notes have been maintained Just within that
limit which gives to them the greatest weight
with the greatest dignity.
The rules OF international Law have been die
regarded by all the beliigerents. Some have been
greater sinners against international law than
others. To all we have protested whenever
rights have been endangered. We have to
it that no nation should misunderstood our post
ton. Because we have no desire to go to war
does not prevent us from pointing out to those
that transgress the bounds of proper department
just what their action means with regard to the
United States and It's citizens
The strongest point in all the notes OF the ad-
ministration has been their reasonablenesa, On
their face the actions of the English and German
governments have been totally unwarranted IN
practice neither has taken the action It had de-
ciared It would take. at least has not taken 1t
with regard to American ships. The administra,
ton has not debated the theoretical claims made
by either London or Berlin; II has shown
willingness to consider the practical difficulties
OF both parties and this ground neither party
can complain that II has been pressed too far nor
restrained too closely by this government. We
are not concerned with eeneralities. but with the
operation OF specific rulings and definite actionx

This contemporary Virginia CITIZEN contcnd"
that it would be a crime for our Government
to quarrel with any foreign power "because a
few selfish and greedy merchants want to do
business or sell their wares over there at good
prices" This Is very curious view. Does the
Citizen regard the farmers who sell abroad their
wheat and cotton and other products as self
Ism and greedy" and beyond the protection OF
their Government and the law because they
wish to find n market and to obtain good
prices? Does our Trvinrton Contem-
porary really think that the welfare and happi-
ness of this country would be promoted by maxi
ing It a hermit among nations? The
course OF reasoning by which tho conclusion we
have quoted reached and IL supported would
be interesting If It could be set forth In words.
