The Conference on Exchange
(From the Washington Post.J

A commission composed of eminent
British and French public officials
and financiers is on its way to New
York to confer with American fnan-
oiers regarding the question of in
ternational exchange. At the head
of the British mission is no less
parsonage than Baron Reading, lord
chief justice, who is thoroughly ia
miliar with the handling of British
government finances, and who doubt
less will be prepared TO submit a
plan which may serve to stabilize ex-
change and enable the allies to pay
for American supplies without ruin
Gus discount.
The errand of the French
mission is most important to the
United States as well as the allies.
The returning prosperity of this
country is based largely upon the
heavy sales of supplies TO England.
France and the other allies Not all
of these supplies are war material by
any means; but whether war mater
ial or not. the commerce is neutral,
perfectly legitimate and highly pro-
titable. The returns are practically
the only compensation to Americans
for the great direct and indirect loss
es caused by the war. Il would be a
disastrous blow to this country if
the depreciation OF British pounds
and French francs resulted in a stop
page of orders from this country.
Hundreds of thousands of persons
would be adversely affected.

Of several hundred dollars. Elwood

side the hotel when the owner was un-
able to find a garage. The young men
jumped into the car about 1 O'clock
in the morning and speeded through
the town. Knowing very little about
the machine, they ran into posts,
porches, fences and finally landed up
against a telephone pole, where the
car was wrecked. At this stage Of the
game it was deserted.

What May Be Reasonably
Expected From Germany
(From the New York SUM-

The Arabic was torpedoed without
warning and sunk seventy miles
southeast of Fastnet on the Irish
coast at 9.15 o'clock a. m, on August
10. Sixteen days later, on September
A, the Hesperian was torpedoed with
out warning at $50 O'Clock p. m. in
about the same place, or, at any rate,
so near the scene of the Arabic dis
aster that 1t may be assumed that
German submarines are constantly
operating "off Fastnet"
How often do commanders of un-
dersea boats report TO the German
Admiralty? In the interval between
the attacks upon the Arabic and Hes
perian the Imperial Government
heard nothing from the commander
who sank the Arabic. Seven days
after the affair. DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, the German chancellor
said: THUS far We nave received no
report about it," He added that If
the commander of the submarine had
exceeded his instructions "the inn
perial government would not hesitate
TO give such complete satisfaction to
the United States as would conform
TO the friendly relations existing be-
tween the two governments" The
following day, August 27. Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff told Secretary Ian

derstanding that instructions given
the commanders of German subma-
rines before the Arabic was sunk for

sells without warning and without
safeguarding the lives of passengers.
Five days afterward, on September /,
the German ambassador transmitted
to Washington the following an
nouncement from his government

marines without warning aud with

TAFT FLAYs HARRISON.

rf~HERE perhaps is American who knows the
Philippines better than does former President
William Howard Taft Therefore, when Mr. Taft stood
before the Commonwealth Club Of California in San
Francisco this week and criticized Governor-General
Harrisons administration Of the islands he spoke
expert whose words destined to bear weight with
the American people.
It will be difficult for GovernorGeneral Harrison to
refute Mr.. Tafs declaration that the present

gressman OF long standing Who when he ap-
pointed Governor-General knew nothing about the
Philippines their peoples their problems Nor will
Harrison and his friends fail to writhe under Mr. Tafts
accusation that Harrison's first official act to place
himself under the virtual control Of Manuel Quezon

politician Of not the highest standing in the Philip
pines" That Harrison at the hehest Of Quezon and
other Filipino politicians. removed competent and
perienced American officials in the islands and filled
the vacancies largely with partisan incompetens is
such notorious fact that it scarcely necessary
for Mr. Taft to refer to it his we-merited criticism

Editorial Opinion
STEEL MANUFACTURING
AND ATLANTIC SEAB0ARD

From the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
More than once in the last Few
years and by more than one authority
competent to speak on the subject
prediction has been made of a COM
paratively early shifting Of the steel
manufacturing centre of this country
from the interior to the Atlantic sea-
board. The foundations upon which
these prophecies are based gather sol
idity from an estimate recently pub
lished in the Philadelphia Record and
presumably bottomed upon informa-
tiOn from inside sources, of the ex-
tent and importance OF the iron ore
fields in Chile, of which the Bethlehem
Steel Company has secured control.
Those deposits, we are told, consti-
tute the largest and richest storage
of high grade iron ore thus far locat-
ed in any region of the earth; while
the scale on which development is to
be made of them is indicated by the
statement that the Bethlehem Com
pany is preparing to expend thirty
million dollars in mining machinery
and the construction of shipping piers
on the Chilean coast. Contracts for a
number of specially-built steamers
for hauling the ore via the Panama
Canal were reported to have been let
to foreign yards some little time be-
fore the outbreak of the war in Eu-
rope.
In view of the great abundance Of
raw material of the highest grade and
of the extent to which Mr.. Schwab's
, company is preparing for its devel-
opment, the assumption is reasonably
safe that plants subsidiary to the
great establishment at Bethlehem will
be established at points Immediately
on the seaboard. Such plants would
, obviate a costly railroad haul Of the
ore from point of porting in this
country to place of manufacture, and
of the manufactured products the
great bulk of which will undoubtedly
90 into the foreign trade. from the
! factory to seaboard shipping point.
And where on all the Atlantic or
Gulf Coast could a location be secur-
ed for such a plant that would offer
the advantages possessed by Hamp-
ton Roads? That these advantages
! have not made themselves effectively
felt in the past has been due TO causes
which need not now be rehearsed.
The encouraging fact is that indica-
tions are not wanting e show that
they are beginning to compel recog-
milton which may be reasonably ex-
pected to assume concrete form in
! the near future.

manu- -Hollweg, who must have re-
ognized his responsibility in the cris-
is, was waiting to hear from the COM
mander Of the submarine that tor
pedoed the Arabic before he made any
statement, and spoke at last seven
days after the event. TO prevent a
breach with the nited States; that
the chancellor must have been in
formed by the admiralty that the
report of the commander should have
been in at the end Of six days; and
that the imperial government had
abandoned All hope ~ hearing from
that officer when. on September J.,
Ambassador Bernstorr assured the
United States that liners would not
be sunk without warning and with
out safeguarding the lives of non
combatants.
Three days pass and then an at
tempt Is made 10 torpedo a liner, the
Hesperian, without warning and with
out safeguarding the lives of nom
combatants. Naturally the question
arises, will the imperial government
receive an official report from the
commander Of the submarine that at
tackled the Hesperian? 1t has been
rumored that the destroyer of the
Arabic was sunk by the guns of a pa
troll boat, and it may be so.
Nothing may ever be heard from
the commander of the submarine that
torpedoed the Hesperian without
warning. II that should be the case
is the United States to assume that
the German government has beer
guilty OF bad faith. in that it never
issued orders to its submarine com
manders to conduct their operation,
in accordance with the Requirements
Of international law, as intimated by
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg? Not nee
essarily, unless the German govern
ment, after a reasonable time elapsel
declines to make public the text ant
date of its instructions to subma.
rine commanders before the Arabic
was sunk. No less can be expected o
il If a "disavowal" Of the attack upol
the Hesperian is to be seriously re
garded by the American people.
Evening journal., 1915-09-08

Fortunately neither Great Britain
nor France need resort to question
able methods in bolstering up theif
credit. Both are rich, and their riches
are in convertible form. The chief
question before the commission win
be the selection Of the best possible
method of establishing credit in the
United States with the least burden
to the allies Whether the commission
will decide to deposit European-own-
ed American securities or whether
the Americans will accept the securi-
ties oil Eigland ana France, mutually
underwritten, remains to be seen
Perhaps a third plan, better than
either of these, will be evolved
II is certain that the Anglo French
commission will be cordially received
and dealt with in a generous spirit.
The best interests of the United States
require that the American fnanciers
participating in the conference shall
grasp the full Importance of the ne
gotiations and deal with the foreign
agents on a broad and liberal basis.
If the Germanic allies should have
an opportunity to enlarge their trade
with the United States and should
send a commission here to arrange
for such exchange, they should be
welcomed in the same spirit The
fact should not be forgotten that true
neutrality is founded upon friendship
with all the nations at war. What
ever their quarrels may be, the
United States is the friend of them
all. and should prove its friendship
by impartial and liberal treatment.

German Imperial Government TO inform the American
