The arrival of the foreign financial
mission is being awaited with the keen
est interest, On the face of it there
are not many alternatives from which
20 make a choice for the relief Of the
exchange situation. But personnel
like that Of the mission insures that
the right plan will be found If expert
ence and breadth OF view count for
anything. On any other errand the
delegation might be called formidable.
Sir Edward Holden is in himself an
entire commission, and he is ably sup
ported By the brilliant Chief Justice.
Baron Reading. and by Sir Henry Bah
inCton Smith. a banker with a great
record abroad. though little known
here. There is also in the party, 50
fa- as can be learned, that Basil b.
Blackett who was the companion Of
Sir George Paish on his visit here last
year. the "reticent young man." az the
president Of the Stock Exchange called
him, who never obtrudcd himself into
a discusS n, but who, whenever he was
asked for en- opinion. showed himself
TO be thoroughly Informed as 20 facts
and sound in judgment" Not much
could be learned yesterday about when
the actual arrival Of the delegation
was expected. The crank who attacked
Mr. Morgan is not the only irresponsi-
Bile person in the United States. and
the bankers are taking no needless
risks in the reception Of their visitors.

Many Remedies Likely.

II has almost come to be taken for
granted that a loan or credit amount
ing to S5O0.000Oo0 will be the result
of the conference of the British and
French representatives on the one side
and the American bankers on the other.
Yet there is reason 10 believe there
will b. no such simple solution Of the
matter. Bankers here have said more
than once that nothing could be de
cided upon until the foreign mission
arrived, and it has been more than
limited that not one but many devices
would be resorted to in relief Of the
exchange situation. It would not be
surprising, in fact. TO many we'll in
formed persons in the financial dis
trict if nearly all the practical expedi-
ents suggested since the present con-
dition of the international money mar
ket was anticipated were awaited Of
in some degree.

small wonder that both inside and

that the chance Of O0,000,0o0 bush

have to be realized some other year.

day. Mr.. Schumacher stated that he
and his associates presented their res

ccivers as long ago as June 10.
MIR. Schumacher was at loss yester-
day to explain why the designations
had been kept secret so long. "a it was
the intention Of himself, Mr.. James
aad Mr. Mclean 10 nave il known that
they did not wish 10 have their names
come up for reelection at the Rock

Phelps. Dodge d Co. have been iden-
tilted with the company's affairs
through the Rock Island Company Of
New Jersey since 1910. when they took
over from Kuhn, Loeb & Co. the hold

cate.

OF the court in April put an end TO any
obligation we may have felt to remain
Oh the board.
The elimination of the old New Jer-
sey holding company. where our inter
est, were, wiped out our equity in the
property, and we thought it only just
that the presen: stockholders ot the
operating company should have full
representation on the board
EumOrs were circulated in Wall
Street yesterday that John j. Mitchell,
founder of the Illinois Trust and Saw
incs Bank; George NJ. Reynolds, presi-
dent Of the Continental and Conner
cial Bank Of Chicago. and James A.
Patton, the Chicago wheat operator,
would be named to succeed the Phelps
Dodge directors. The question of
whether Phelps. Dodge & Co. has beer
eliminated from Rock Island affairs
permanently still seems doubtful, de-
spite the present severance Of all OH
cial relations with the company.

Holdcn's Foresight.

The presence of Sir Edward Holden
on the foreign financial mission served
TO recall yesterday that it was he who,
SIX months before the European war
began. raised the alarm over the in
adequacy Of the British. gold reserves.
He pointed out that the German gold
reserves at the end of 1913 stood at
Sos, 493. 900. while the Bank of England
could show only a little over $50 ,0o0,-
600. lie urged the joint stock banks
TO publish the figures Of their gold
holdings. and his institution, the Lon
don City and Midland Bank. took the
lead. The others, however. did not fol-
low its example. though in the course
of time the wisdom of his advice came
to be appreciated.

Rock Island No Founding.

Rock Island did not behave in the
stock market yesterday as though the
backing which it has lately had to re-
linquish was being replaced by other
backing. On the contrary, it acted
very much as though the dreariest pre-
dictions were to be realized, notwith-
standing the much more definite char
acter Of the stories from Chicago that
the control of the road was passing 10
important interests in that city.
Whether or not it is true that John j..
Mitchell. George VI. Reynolds and
James A. Patten will 90 on the board,
it can be stated with confidence that
the road is not in the position Of a
founding, with no one willing to adopt
it. That does not imply, however, that
its future is yet secure any more than
