HISTORY IN THE MAKING

They are still having school in
Europe-in France, in Germany, in
England. But teachers have a hard
time teaching history. So much that
is thrilling and portentous and sig
nificant is going on right now. that
the tales Of the Spanish inquisition,
the War Of the Roses, the debauch-
cries Of the court Of Louis XIV, the
merry times Of "Good Queen Bess,"
even the French revolution itself,
fade into a dull background before
the stirring events of 1915.
In Washington, even before the
war, newspapers were used as text
books Of current history. Last sea-
son they were used even more ex-
tensively here, as we'll as in other
progressive cities, to inform school
children of current events. Now that
the habit has been implanted by the
war 1t is likely to continue after the
highly seasoned journalistic fare of
war time has passed. At present
the danger is that teachers will limit
their newspaper teaching to the war
and forget there are many interest.

THE LEELANAW CASE

There was no cause for Wall
Street to 60 into Mysteries yesterday
over the torpedoing of the Leelanaw.
There is no occasion today for the
public to have nerves stretched to
the swapping point. So far as we
have the record, the German sub
marine did exactly what President
Wilson declared in his note that
every submarine taking a prize was
obligated to do-to stay within the
laws of nations.
The ship was overhauled and COM
manded to stop and undergo visit
and search according to interna-
tional law. This she did. When the
officers of the submarine boarded
and examined the ship they decided
that her cargo was contraband. Ev-
erybody on board was then ordered
to quit the ship, and when this was
done she was torpedoed.
There may be question--under
our special treaty contract with
Germany evidently there is-about
the damages that may be due fol
the destruction of an American ship
which, with no path on the surface
of the seas open to German naviga
tion, could not possibly be taker
into a home prize court. But, as We
have the facts, there is no chance
that the case of the Leelanaw fall!
within the bounds which Presiden
Wilson has informed the Berlir
foreign Office must be regarded al
deliberately unfriendly."
If the information which we hav'
of the affair is correct, the com
mander of the submarine stoppe'
the ship, as he had every right to dc
prevented the contraband carg
from reaching its destination, as h
had every right to do, and, failing
the possibility of taking the shi
into a prize court, destroyed tn
vessel also, as he had the conditions
right to do, subject to the rules gov
erning such cases and amenable t
such damages as might be due unde
treaty obligations.
Furthermore, the affair, far fror

BANKERS TO THE WORLD

There is one very good way to
Judge whether foreign owners of
American securities are sending
them here for liquidation or holding
them as the one sure resource in a
supreme emergency. This is what
disposition is made of our foreign
trade balance after the deductions
from it for interest and dividend
payments and ocean freight bills
and similar charges. For the most
part that remaining balance is being
covered by delivery to US, not of our
own stocks and bonds, but of foreign
short term notes and acceptances.
With the $45,00O,Oo0 of notes
which we took from the Canadian
government last week, with the
Canadian municipal bonds previous
ly placed here, the French credits,
Russian acceptances, and other
foreign notes, we have lent abroad
since the war began more than
$3OO,OOO,OOO.
Now, we may figure our dispos-
able balance of trade as from the
first Of the calendar year, for up to
that time our excess of exports owe,
imports was all being swallowed uI
by the current balances which stooc
against US at the outbreak of the
war. With merchandise and golc
we just about cleared up the score
by New Year.
Since January l, inclusive of July
which ends next Saturday, the for
eign trade balance in our favor ha!
mounted to some 100000, 900. In
terest and dividends owed by US OF
American securities owned outsid,
of this country have run in tn
seven months probably $175,0O0,0 ,00O
possibly $2OO,O0O,OO0. Freight bills
spendings by American travellers
and other items against US nigh
account for another $15O,000,O0O t
$l75,O 100000. The world has pai
down on our counter since the frs
of the year some Sl25,00O,OOo i
gold.
II OF the s9OO,OOO,O trade balanc,
The Washington times., 1915-07-28

Government, under Mr.. Wilson's
warning to Berlin, seems to prove
precisely what he contended could
be done and insisted must be done
that submarines, like all other war
vessels, observe the laws of nations.
The Leelanaw affair, therefore,
instead Of driving this country and
Germany irrevocably asunder, ought
to clear the air and point the fair
and HONORABLE path to the mutual
understanding which it is possible
for both sides to reach in reason and
to the friendship which we all wish
to preserve, with the self-respect of
each undiminisiPed.
The Washington times., 1915-07-28

therefore, comes for all those items
some $3.50, 900, leaving a balance
still to be accounted for of about an
equal sum of $3.50, 100000. Take off
the more than 100000 which
we have lent beyond our boundaries
i'm Canada, South and Central
America, France, Germany, Russia,
Switzerland, Norway, and Sweden
and there is left only about $780,
100000 unaccounted for out of our
whole balance on international COM
merce since January 1.
Undoubtedly American stocks and
bonds have come here to be mar
keted against the rest of that favor
able trade balance. But the assur-
ance that we have not been flooded
with our own securities from abroad
is based on the very good reason
that we have been taking in,
not paying out, gold. Nor is there
any present sign that we shall be
flooded with our securities from
abroad. On the contrary, there is
the same use for the next 5000, ,000,-
900 of trade balance in our favor
as there has been for the last $780,.
100000. Foreign countries at peace
and foreign countries at war seek
to place more of their bonds anc
short term notes here to give then
fresh credits against which to buy
war and all manner of supplies. We
shall take them by the tens and b,
the hundreds of millions. Arrange
ments to this end are under daily
negotiation.
We are bankers for the world, t
belligerents and to neutrals, to thos'
who have our securities, and to thos,
who have not. We are converting
our surplus crops and products O.
the factory into wealth prodigiou
and permanent, on which our for
eign debtors shall pay us opulent re
turns for generations.
