THE YEAR WE PAID OUR
sSg,iE"-,. s... nERT

(From the Chicago Herald.)
The international trade balance in
favor Of the United States in the
last three months was 100000, 900.
It may reach $1,OOO,0O0, 900 for the
year of 1915. At the same time
London exchange seems disposed to
stick at the low record of $4.79 for
the sovereign. Commenting on this
situation leading New York bank
remarks in its March letter:
y The trade balances indicated GER
tainly cannot be collected in gold,
and apparently be collected in goods,
even II we wanted payment in either
of these ways. There is only one
way In which payments can be had,
and that is in securities. The only
practical question for consideration
is what securities shall be accepted
81 While there is no visible DISPOSE
ton of European holders to dump
American securities, as time goes
on settlements will have to be made
The process will doubtless be grad
ual. It will be helped by the i'm
proved banking system which it was
our great good fortune to obtain just
as Europe was going to war. But
in the end Americans instead OF
Europeans will hold time obligations
I Of Americans, perhaps to the amount
Of many hundreds Of millions.
How complete it will be depends
on how long the war 1asts-when
one side of the other shall confess
exhaustion and be forced to seek
peace. AS no responsible statesman
seems to expect that position to
be reached in less than a year, 1t
may wei be that the future his
torian will speak Of 1915 as the
wear we paid our debts"-the year
in which we wiped out the greater
shara OF our borrowings from Eu-
rope for the development OF new
continent.
