FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

When there are taken into con-
sideration the autumn gold ship
ments and the reduction already
effected i'm our customary ex-
penditures abroad for the bills Of
travellers and in other ways, il is
very reasonable estimate that
since the start of the war we have
been creating foreign credits at
the rate of Si5O,OOO,OOO a month
and the ratio is increasing. Judg-
ing from present financial and
commercial currents the accum-
ulation of a billion-dollar credit
balance within a year from the
start of the war looks like an I'M
warrantably conservative esti-
mate.
AS a result of the matters not
ed our bankers today have such
control of the foreign exchanges
that they could force gold to
come here from foreign financial
celters, or compel them TO resort
TO preventative measures. Under
those circumstance the dissolu-
ton of the gold export pool is a
formality, but it ought to be no
less abvious that American fl
nance is not going to make any
sush unwise use of its new power

NEUTRALITY
New York World

We do not believe that a single
competent international lawyer
can be found, English or Amer
lean, who will not say that Pres
ident Wilson'S attitude has been
irreproachable. We do not be-
lieve a single competent inter
national lawyer can be found,
English or American, who will
not say that President Wilson has
held strictly to the traditions of
British law as we'll as of Amer
lean law in whatever official ac-
ton he has taken.
There is strong element in
this country that would make the
United States a rather dishonor-
able and disrepuable ally of Ct.
Britian by having the National
Government maintain a frandu-
lent neutrality that resolved all
questions in favor of Great Brit
ian regardless of the law or the
facts There is another element
much smaller but much noisier,
that would make the United
States an ally of Germany by
prohibiting lawful traffic with CT.
Britain and her allies in NUM-
tons of war. Both of these ell
ements want the United States
to pretend to be neutral and then
live a lie. The President is not
of that breed.
Many English newspapers pro-
fess to believe that Great Brit
ian is fighting for the American
cause as we'll as for her owncause
If that were true they might
properly ask the United States to
send its battleships to reinforce
the British fleets and to send its
soldiers into the trenches of
Flanders to fight side by side with
the British, French and Belgian
Troops; but they have no right to
ask the United States to be an in
lternational sneak and hypocrite.
They have no right to ask that
we shall violate the spirit of neu-

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The treasury

real concern. 1t means, unless i'm

will probably have to be made before

president and his advisors do not rel
ish the notion of going into the presi-
dental campaign with bond issue to
be defended.
Obviously, there may be circuln-
stances under which defense of a bond
issue will be easy. Thus. If there is
trouble with Mexico and campaign
has to be undertaken there, the coun-
try would regard bond issue as
natural accompaniment. But II the

the government income and outgo are
not satisfactory. The customs ,reve-
nue. thus far In the fiscal year, which
opened July I, Is about $4,000, 900
lower than Il was In the corresponding
period last fiscal year. Internal revs-
nue. and miscellaneous receipts, taken
together, are also lower thus far in
the present fiscal year than in the
same period last year. The internal
revenue receipts, considered alone, are
slightly above what they were a year
ago but 1t has to be remembered the
war tax is in force.

at the corresponding time in the last

On the face Of things, this would not
be subject for serious concern. But
the government Is confronted with the
necessity Of much heavier outlay for
national defence. The war tax law,
| when 1t expires next winter cannot be
repealed without adding largely to the
deficit Consequently it is supposed,
the administration will have to ask
congress to extend 1t. Pressure on
congress for big expenditures in many
directions will be strong. The advo-

icy will be active next winter.
Then, there looms up the sugar tar

back water on the question of free

tiers that 1t will do so. Then it will

The Hague, Netherlands. July Is
Twenty seven Belgian, French and
English officers still elect to remain
prisoners on the Island of Urk, in the
Zuyder Zee, rather than promise that
they will not try to escape from Hol-
land and return to their colors to fight.
If they were willing to give their
promise not to try to escape they
would be allowed to roam anywhere in
Holland, but the twenty -seven on the
Island of Urk prefer to remain prison
ers, openly avowing their intention to
escape if possible. This makes the
situation something Of game be-
