The Flower

Once in a golden hour
cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower.
The people said, a weed.
TO and fro they went
Thro' my garden-bower,
End muttering discomfort
Cursed me and my flower.
Then Il grew so tall
II wore n crown OF light,
But thieves from DER the wall
Stole the seed by night.
Sow'd it far and wide
BY every town and tower,
Till all the people cried,
Splendid is the flower"
Read my little fable;
He that runs may read.
Most can raise the flowers now
For all have got the seed.
And some are pretty enough,
And some are poor indeed;
And now again the people
Call ii but a weed.

Gcrlnan Currency penreciated

T HERE is not much mystery. after all. i'll
the apparent ability of the German gov
crnmcnt to dispose OF it's bonds to it's own
people AT Il price that seems to approximate
par. The truth is that these bonds are being
paid for by subscribers in the heavily de-
preciated paper currency that Germany now
Is issuing, while they are redeemablc in gold.
For many months il has been anathema
i'll Germany to hoard gold. and holders have
been encouraged by every means short OF alb
soute compulSOn to exchange ii either for
government bonds for the various issues
OF paper currency, irredeemable until after
the conclusion OF the war. Last month
renters of safety deposit boxes in the prn-
cipal banks were all required TO make an
affidavit that they had no gold concealed in
these vaults, the clear intimation being that
all gold was TO be turned over to the Treasury
in exchange for paper.
The German mark on the New York and
other neutral markets is at discount
approNimatng 20 per cent Within the
limits of Germany ii is forbidden. under
heavy penalties. to exact or accept premium
for gold i'll exchange for paper. and a fc-
titious parity thus is maintained but the
real depreciation is reflected in part in the
high cost OF commodities. just as outside
Germany it is reflected even more sensbly in
the discount i'll mark exchange.
These considerations make it quite evident
that German bonds are OF actually being
sold anywhere near par. The German gov
eminent expects-and receives-for these
bonds deprecated paper currency, and the
real discount, therefore. is around 30 per
cent
1t is another illustration of the falsity of
the German economic theory, proclaimed
vchcmcntly while tho war has been in prog
rcss. that there is something actually healthy
in an enforced commercial isolation. AS
long az that isolation continues and the Ger
man government continues to issue fiat
money. that money and the exchange by
which it is represented will show depreciation.
AS the VAR drags out its slow course. de-
probation will become greater rather than
less.
