az the same level. This is an economic fact
which no intelligent man will dispute.
To-day" he continued, I'VE have differ
ent state of affairs. Both England and Ger
many have been dissipating their assets"
He was busy again with pencil and paper,
preparing a new chart to mt the altered con-
di.ion in the world
Furthermore, England and her allies have
been spending money in this country lavshly.
So now the condition of the three tanks
appears something like this The United
States tank is now full almost to OVERLOOKING,
while the level OF liquid assets in England
and Germany Especially the latter has sunk
very low"
What will happen to your tanks after the
war. Mr. Babson"
First, the pipe connecting us with Germany
will be repaired, so that the water again flows
freely. Next the English pipe will be cleared
OF congestion. So conditions will again be-
come normal And the result OF this restored
condition will be general levelling of water
in the three tanks"
The liquid assets, you mean. will approach
a common level. level such as they enjoyed
before the war;"
He nodded And when this is realized, two
facts must appear evident: First there will be
less total water in the three tanks than before
the war: second, the water in the three tanks
can come to level only by the water in one
tanks lowering, or at least. remaining where
it is until the others catch up.
So" he concluded. "the only possible solu-
ton OF our great problem would be to stop
the war as soon as possible, before the water
in the English and German tanks gets any
lower"

You spoke moment ago Of some charts
Mr. Babson was reminded, which were 10

lions Of finance"
All, yes" he replied, taking pencil and
paper and rapidly working Herewith tew
moments. He talked as he worked

nations. The loss will be distributed. There

Now then" he said displaying the finished
chart Il have drawn three tanks OF water.
These tanks are connected by pipes. We Will
call one of these tanks the United States, an
other Germany Including the Central
Powers). and we will call the third tank Eng
land with her Allies). Before the war. the
situation resembled the condition of these
three tanks, in which, as you see, the water
maintains a common level.
The shaded area is water, which OF course
represents the liquid assets Of the several
powers When | say that the water then
stood at common level mean that foreign
exchange between the countries then stood al
par. The connecting pipes represent the
steamship lines, cables, and other means OF
transportation and communication. don't

assets. But do say that, when the war De-

Europe after the war and rates for fixed CAPT
tai are high over there, they must also be high
in the United States. In other words. we
must share Europes loss with her We shall
pay higher interest rates as a means OF help
ing pay Europe's bills
Mr. Babson next drew attention TO the
potency which, in normal times, European
money possesses in the industrial life OF this
country. Few people he said, realized how de.
pendent VIC were upon European capital for
building railroads, various public works, as
well as for erecting Office buildings, apartment
housesc and similar structures.
Much Of the real estate Of our large cities
he said. has been improved by European
capital" And he then went on to show how
various estimates have been made covering
the amount Of foreign holdings OF American
shares and bonds, but added that the smallest
estimate represents a figure beyond human
comprehension.
About 20 per cent Of these securities" Mr..
Babson stated. have perhaps been brought
back from Europe during the last few years;
but they will continue TO return every month
until long after the war is over. Many believe
that more Of our securities will be sold by
Europe directly after the war than are being
sold at the present time
But" he continued, Il am not now re-
ferring 90 much to these old securities as to
the effect which the war will have on new Sc
curites" y
New securities which we may issue?'
YES These are bound 10 be influenced
However opinions may differ as to turopes
present attitude toward our securities all.

whose sole anxiety is to preserve his reas-
surfing social categores intact
The laws and customs this antique moral
ist" finds so satisfactory in reference to di-
vorce bigamy and such things as parental
consent to marriage all are matters certain
to demand readjustment when mating comes
to be considered for itself"
Itself-that is, if you please, upon basis
of personality Marriage, she would say, con-
tracted along old-fashioned lines is devoid Of
any real personal element. And when mating,
as she suggests, comes to be considered for it
self; when the new standards have taken the
place of the old generally, what will be the
new moral complexion of human affairs?
Well, Mrs Parsons tells U.s. according to her
vision.

think, are agreed that after the war very little
English and other European capital will flow
% this country. 1t will be severe loss 20 US
1t may even mean that many railroads, build
ings and public Improvements in the United
States cannot be constructed during the next
few years"
"And what effect will this have upon indus
trial conditions here, Mr.. Babson''
1T will, for one thing, mean a great deal OF
non employment for skilled workers. 1t may
affect industries Of all kinds The great inan-
cial need Of the hour is more capital, yet
capital is being destroyed every day at rate
which exceeds the rate at which it Is sccumu-
la;ing Surely this condition will react upon
us, and thus again we shall be big loser in
the present European conflict"
Pursuing the same trend OF argument, all
tending TO show how the readjustments after
the war will react against the United States
Mr.. Babson next took up the matter OF COM
modify prices, both in this country and abroad
After the war; he said, many commodities
would drop violently in price. But he went on
directly to state that. despite this the cost of
living, taken as whole was bound to be
higher than it was before the war.
If the increase in this cost is only $40
year per capita. this means that we shall De

cis r.establishment Of Europe"
AS to the prices OF commodities Mr..
Babson continued, tits increase also affects
wages. very directly. Prices and wages al
ways move together. This means continued
high wages in this country. As immigration
will never get back again to former dimen-
sons, we will suffer severe loss. Tariff or
no tariff our manufacturing costs are sure to

and most unreasoning person in minor walks
OF life, sex has become "the menstruum which
dissolves all matter" Personality has ceased
ntrinsically to count in human relationship
to the identical extent that youth has stood
discredted before old age.
"A woman--a man, too-is personihcation
of sex, not personality in whose nature sex
plays but a part Toward him or her, as a
personifcation, set duties are owing; over
him or her set rights are enforceable" is Mrs
Parsons's comment.
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS LOST.
Which is perhaps another way of saying
that class juggles class, and the rights OF the
individual have dropped like nameless stars
beneath the horizon of the world.
ANY Sinking of this attitude" she goes on
to say, cor violation OF the standardized feel
ngs or ideas it implies is condemned or pen
allied by society as an offence against itself,
or, from a modern standpoint against those
prescriptions it established for the sexes at
a period of culture when only an economic or
sexual relation between them was ever con-
sidered.
The sex problems of the nineteenth CEN
tury" the writer asserts, working toward
comparison with the problems OF to-day,
"were concerned with the property rights OF
married women, the double standard Of sex
morals, the rehabilitation OF the old maid
all changes in status or with the difficulties
of passing from one status to another
the trials OF the woman with a past of the
divorcee--or with the prODertv even OF seDa-
rate social compartments for the unmarried
and the married.

lens of sex relationship is changing. In mat

procity takes the place of proprietorship"

and parenthood are seen to be theoretically

THE PoLYGAMY QUESTION.

Discounting considerations OF illicit love-
will the new order embody an impulse toward
polygamy or an impulse toward monogamy'
"One foresees an increase OF homogeneous
unions" she replies. "One foresees, too, in
mating a far larger measure of candor and
frankness With reciprocity as the paramount
principle IN sex relationship many OF the
reasons for covertness will disappear"
Reciprocity This appears to open up iresh
avenue. OF debate; for in it, as in all things
there must be logical and inevitable lapses OF
even total cessatons. Does the scrupulous
tester and reformer in her fearless monograph
dodge this new issue of reciprocty's funeral
Oh. no. Il is just the funeral which concerns
her.
The elders, she would say, might try to
argue you into believing that the dead still
could crawl and manifest enough lie to render
antiouity's facade inviolate. But Elsie Clews
Parsors2 Does she fondly persuade herself
tina, the dead can crawl? No, she believes that
when love dies it ought to be given a decent
burial and that pretence should be cast to the
four winds. She is very firm in her convection
that the wearing quality of love shouldn't be
considered when mate chooses mate.
There will be more sincerity, less senti-
mentality" says she. Change as 1t comes
will be met, not lied about or shirked. Life
is change, and any live relation is changing
