PAYING OUR DEBTS

A little over a year ago financial leaders of the United States were greatly alarmed oyer what the Flu ro2eau war would do to this coun- try. says the Portland Telegram. The various nations at war had loaned Us vast sums cf money to develop our railroads and other re sources and had taken our securt- ties freely for many years. Now they would need all their resources to carry ou the greatest of all wars, and the United States was sure to be drained of all her gold to pay for the stocks and bonds that would be uulcoded immediately,
 It was almost a panic!
 The stock exchanges in New York an Chicago were closed tight and keDt closed for more than four months. Demoralizing, indeed, was the effect on industry, and iu- terest rates in New York and else where were kept Up to seven and eight per cent. So strcng did the current of exchange run against this country that remittances to London cost a live per cent premium. IL took more than five American dol lars to buy a pound sterling.
 What change one brief year has wrought.
 Exchange on London dropped from five per cent premium to sev- cl per cent discount and the Eng fish pound was worth only four dollars and half. American gold. "Dou't send us any more gold. We have too much gold. send Us our securities" was the New York bank CTS cry
 No longer is there a fear that @ flood of foreign owned securities dumped upon our markets will be a catastrophe. Our bankers are anxious to get them and encourage the European nations to send them.
 Several hundred millions of dol lars worth have been liquidated in the past few months. In no other way can the settlement Of balances be accounted for. With excess eX- ports of nearly billion dollars and net imports of a little more than $I5O,OOO,OOO of gold, the difference has been paid with Am ericau stocks and bonds,
 Tha necessities Of the warning nations is making prosperity in the United States. All the securities which Europe has sent back to us have been quietly bought up by idle American capital at a much less price than they were originally sold for to the foreign investors. We are not only paying our debts by redeeming our outstanding li&bili- ties, but are making money while doing it. Besides, the interest on these several hundred millions of gilt edged securities will hereafter be put in circulation in this coun- try for the benefit of our own
