An1cricaniSm. (New York Times.)

(NeW YOrk T1meS.)
 Americanism should be an un- hyphenated thought. There is only one kind of money in this country That is American credit. And with these instrumentalities there is only one kind of trade to be carried on between the United States and the rest of the world, namely, American trade, open to all customers without favor, bias, or sentiment. We are not an unsentimental people but business is an affair of reason. and has been so ever since man had the intelligence to leave his feelings out of it.
 A year ago it would have been hard to imagine a confusion of ideas in which these simple economic prin- ciples could be forgotten. Every body accepted them. They were elem entary, like assumptions of good and evil. International commerce had been built upon them People could differ emotionally, religiously, ethically, in every way, and yet trade together honestly, to their mutual ad- vantage The exchange of goods was agreed to be intrinsically a neutral performance tending to increase tho wealth of the world, without preju- dice to political or moral beliefs.
 And now suddenly these principles are sweepingly denied A protest against the placing of an Anglo French loan in this country is an in version of the simplest economic prin- ciples. It is, indirectly, a protest against selling to certain European cust omers our surplus of foodstufis, cotton, textiles, automobiles machin- cry, and other goods, which are all consumed in times of peace we'll and which are only now required in unusual quantities owing to the do- cline in Europe's own power of self sustaining production. The question of arms and explosives need not be considered at all, for two relsons, namely, one that our customers would be willing to pay gold down for them provided their other wants could be supplied on credit, and, two that those special war comm oddities constitute a very small proportion of our total current exports to Europe.
 It happens that Germany tempor- arily is not among our customers. That is no fault of ours. She would like to be. Her inability to buy is as much our loss as her misfortune She is not at present a part of com mercial Europe, being isolated. We cannot trade with her; nobody can. But if we could, then it would be rreposterous to protest against cur selling to her for money, on credit or in exchange for other goods, any of those staple modities we have surplus. So it is preposterous and fantastic to protest against our selling, on what terms the trade will bear, to all the rest of Europe

These Tn the aggregate amount to billions. ihey are exclusive of investments Englano has made by way of loans to otner nations.

No one can tell without prolonged study the exact amount of these invest ments in India. Behind these invest ments is actual property. Engllsh money is represented by hundreds of millions of bonds issued either by the Canadian government itself or bv municipalities, provinces and rall- roads in Canada.

Facts About the crnb.

''who would believe that, among creatures having well developed domestic istincts, we must in clude the humble crab--the spiders of the sea- as Victor Hugo calls them Once under water, we might expect enc part of the sea to be as homelike as another, but that only shows how little the average human being under stands a crabs point of view. Somc one, however, suspected of the hom- ing instinct, and so tried tho experf- ment of catching a pair of them on the Yorkshire coast, in England, and. after marking them carrying them south fifty miles or moro, returning first one and then the other to the water at different points on the shore. Then the Yorkshire crabbers carefully searched their traps as they made each haul, on tho lookout for the possible return of the wanderers. Strange to relate, ono day not one buts both of the crabs were caught second time, having made their way back across the intervening miles of sea bottom to their Yorkshire home"

for the future, al future that may be fraught with the most dreadful DOT tents. a future laden with dire calanr- ity. The ,Cnafnber of Commerce of the United States recently advocated the establishment of a pernanent trade comHaission. a commission, made up of men who have given economies 1 their life study and who, free from the influence of politics, would study and regulate the tariff whenever that Iprecarious and treacherous instru- ment needs tuning. This is one of the
 wisest suggestions yet made and should be followed by strenuous
 campaign. It is time that the men who are sent to Congress to represent the people of their various communi-
 ties, and who ordinarily have very lit tie knowledge of the intricacies of
 tariff laws, were relieved of the duties imposed upon them in this matter. A
 tariff commission, permanent, it's
 members appointed for life, would be
 the proper method of handling this question that has caused more com-
 plaint and bitterness than any other feature ever brought tc the attention of the nation. >..
 f It is time something definite is done along these lines. President Wilson
 in a recent letter to Governor Cox of Ohio comm ented on the establishment
 of tariff commission and the possi- bility of arranging for a revision or the tariff to meet war conditions.
 But he made no mention of when the work would be started. This is the propitious time,-now It is neces- sary that protection be given to some Of the infant American industries that have sprung up since the war began. It is also necessary that the revenues of the government be augmented.
 4 While Great Britain is looking for ward to the protection of her com mercial future, the United States is in state of lethargy. Our politicians cI cSlSCp oI IiAS S"iSSAA. AAO PoAiCS of Great Britain is to supplant Amer ican-made goods with British-made goods. Very well, then. We should supplaut anything made in Great Britain with our own commodities and, further, we can do it, where England is not so sure of herself. England has not one third the re- sources enjoyed by the people of the United States. Not only is the Eng fish commercial policy designed to supplant American-made goods in England, but also in numerous for- eign markets where the two. are now competing, and even in America itself. This shows the nerve of England Tn view of her limited resources she is going long way to put her policy in effect. Unless Uncle Sam takes bracer and looks around him with an idea of protecting himself, England and other nations will take all his trade away when he should be making provisions for it's everlasting prosperi- ty. -#95 '-.

GERMAN REFORMED CONGREGATION HAS
 COMBINED SERVICE
In Absence of Pastor, Sun day School Superintend-
 ent Ofdciates.

Ali innovation at the services of the German Reformed church during Rev. Herman G. WieHaer's absence upon his vacation for the past several weeks that proved very interesting was the combined services of the congregation and Sunday school at the usual hour of services at 10:36 o'clock at which Sunday School Superintendent Will liam Bernhard ofnciated with dignity concomitant and worthy of a clergy man. Last Sunday he spoke upon the Prophet Elias and his discourse was of much depth and showed him well versed and he also showed that his torical time could be linked with the present as noted in the texts of the Sunday previous and present one.
 He said that Elias was a. God fear ing man as proved by his prophecies 'tElia'' to Ahab as true as the God of Israel lives there shall be a great drought as they had abandoned their true God and wershiped images and were upon the verge of heathernism. The same proved true. Other inter esting phases were also brought to light of those years.
 Rev. Herman G. Wiener will be welcomed back and occupy the pulpit this Sunday as usual at 10:30 a. m. and the Sunday school will hold the session at 9;S6 a. m.

 'fThe mere announcement from the a fair way of being overcome it says, would immediately cause a sharp re- bound in exchange. American hnan- cierS are becoming restive, fearing cancellations of orders and the trans- terrence of British purchases to other markets With both sides anxious for a settlement we ought not to have to wait long," k The Exchange says: Important in huences have been brought to bear to remedy the unsatisfactory state of the exchange problem An official an- forthcoming. The situation has not created any alarm in the money mar ket for the simple reason that the out come of the negotiations now proceed ing is awaited with complete conf dence.''
 Financial newspapers urge prompt action by the government The Finan- cier says it hears that the delibera- tionS of the bankers committee will take too much time while what is wanted is immediate, if only tempo rary measures to resist the fall Sure ly small loan could be placed at once and increased later if necessary. Such a step would restore confidence
 The Financial Times declares little relief can 0be expected from the pro- posed restriction of imports. 1sn &C., tua1 working it says, ''tInis method is slow and uncertain and it must be re- membered that the bulk of or dinary imports from the United States consists of raw material and food stuffs, the flow of which it is undesir- able to check.'.
 The same journal, emphasizing the necessity for prompt action, calls at tention to pending shipments of wheat, etc, 1mportations as the result of which Great Britain now is entering on the period Of the year when its in debfedness to the United States nor mally is highest. Discussing the dan ger of the present uncertainty regard ing the governments plans for reme- dial measures. the Financial Times says:
 Delay in making an adjustment has created the impression that exchange is going lower yet, with the result that American houses are disinclined to purchase bills and consequently are. delaying payments on. this side in the hope of being able to hquidate their indebtedness on even easier terms lat er For the same reason sales of American securities held in England have not been 50 large as expected be- cause the holders are awaiting still lower ra,te.'
