Great Britain Is calling up her re-.
serves Of money as we'll as her re-
serves Of men. There Is Il coincidence
more than interesting In the compile
tion Of the campaign for adding mill
ions Of voluntary recruits to the
British army and the Inauguration
" the scheme to render the vast pri-
vate investments Of British subjects
available for national use to cope
With the financial strain of the war.
Both are Enthusiastically significant of
the British attitude toward the stu
pendous conflict.
1t was obvious from the outbreak
Of the war that IL circumstances re-
Quired II such n resort would he hal
to the liquidation Of British foreign
investment represented by fixed cap
ital securities. In the first national
balance sheet which LLOYD GEORGE as
Chancellor of the ExcheUuer drew
up. by way of exhibiting the nations
financial for the conduct of
the a a leading place was assigned
to the item Of foreign investments.
particularly American Investments.
His successor Chancellor MCKENNA
has simply developed in the form Of
4 definite plan nm idea which existed
from the first, and when the Govern
ment has made all possible use of the
American and Canadian securities
which II can obtain there will remain
an immensely valuable amount of
South American South African and
Australian Investments TO be liqui-
dated In time or borrowed upon.
Yet In order to achieve the results
which II desires 1t Is obvious TINT the
British Government must be careful
not to spoil its market either for cash
or credit. and American finance will
\ have no apprehension that our alb
sorptive or lending capacity will be
overtaXed. We have been making
large profits in these war times. There
has been a large consequent increase
in the amount Of money for invest
ment, and u banking position can
accommodate a great aggregate of Sc
curities returned from abroad while
they are going through the process of
absorption.
As in the past twelve months. more

ties with money sen us from abroad.
for the termination of our gold i'm
port movement cannot be discerned
by the most farsighted. BY c%ontinu-
ing 10 take back our securities from
foreign holders or by granting loans
upon them vi shall assure the per-
sistcnce Of our extraordinary export
trade and we shall he all the time
moving further and further away
from u former international debtor
status and establishing more perma-
nently the creditor status which we
have come to assume.
Chancellor McKENvA's plan does
not contemplate a shifting Of the
worlds financial centre from London
to New York. The hope was ex-
/ pressed in the House Of Commons
when he unfolded his scheme that 1t
would not have this effect. There Is
nobody to-day who can tell what will
he the ultimate effect Of the war on
economic relations, but New York Is
the worlds present financial centre,
and whether London will be able to
resume its former primacy is n of
the things no man predict.

The registration throughout the state
on the first day was about what might
have been expected for an "off'' year
In some sections it fell below that of las,
year, while in other parts of the sate
there was an increase. More than 1900
voters registered in Jersey City. In
Newark it was about normal. In TTen
ton there was an increase over last year
and in Atlantic City there was a decrease
of about a thousand. This gives an idea
Of how the registration ran.
