The Worlds New Financial Centre

! TIME financial centre OF the world today Is
| Il In New York instead OF In London.
American stocks and bonds are the only
! securities for which there is ready mar
! ket in London. The United Stntes Is the
only one Of the great Powers which is not
plllng up war debt OF billions. The other
nations are draining their resources and
burning them on the battleheds. II Is esti-
mated that the year OF war has cost France,
Russia Great Britain, Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary the incomprehensible sum OF
sal 900 100000 in direct and indirect ways.
The direct cost, as represented by the war
loans, is s16,7OO,O00.OOO. It will cost $780,,
100000 a year to pay the interest on these
loans at 3 per cent. This burden will rest
the nations for many generations, and
IL the war continues for another year 1t will
he doubled. Before the war began econ
omists said that three months fighting
would bankrupt Europe; but they are now
hcsitatinE TO say that three years will
exhaust the available resources of the con-
tinent.
No one doubts, however that it will leave
the nations so poor that they will be de-
pendent on America to finance their enter
prises, as they used to finance America in
the years when it was developing this vast
risen so that Englishman who wants TO
send money from Philadelphia to London has
to pay a premium OF about 5 per cent. to
get it, The debt of Europe to us is in
creasing rapidly that the British bankers
have sent commission over here to ar
range some way for paying it. In the first
six months Of the year the balance of trade
in our favor was $7OO, OOO, 900, and Sir George
Paish one Of the most distinguished British
financiers has estimated that 1t will reach
Sl,700, 600 before the end of December.
1t will be necessary to lend money to Europe
to pay this debt Every month that the war
continues increases the financial obligations
of the belligerents here.
The war has made the world for the
time being dependent on the riches of this
continent. Some experts are convinced
that America has permanently become the
financial centre of the world. Optimistic
Americans for years have been looking for
this desirable communication but they hoped
it would be brought about by the natural
processes of evolution instead of by a great

LoophoIe for the Jitneys

ONLY ten jtncys LETT OF all that endless
~ procession of crowded, rattling, jostlins
Evehicles which filled Broad street from curb
to curbl II Councils had determination In
mind when it passed the lit" ordinance, IL
Y did It's work we'll II only regulation was
y intended the ordinance went too far
The public demand for cheap automobile
transportation was clearly shown by the
prosperity of the jitneys while they were al
lowed to run. Now that prohibitive restric-
tions have stopped them, both "jitneurs" and
their erstwhile patrons are casting about for
some method OF furnishing and utilizing mo-
tor transportation at rates within the possi-
: bilities of the poor mans purse.
The path to repeal or amendment of the
I jitney ordinance is long and rocky. A test
of the legal status Of the ordinance is at
tended by delay and expense Small won.
Z der, then, that the persons most concerned
tlturn to examine the legal barriers for d
: loophole, through which some remnants OF
the banished service may pass.
Apparently the loophole is there. for Coun-
ellis in it's enactment exempts from the bond
and license requirements about every sort
OF vehicle for hire. except those operating
over lxed route. Any driver who can
operate his car from a fixed stand in the
; street, or from a garage, permitting his pas
senger passengers always to fix the
destination, may, under the express terms
Of the law, do so without giving the jtney
bond or paying the jitney license And he
may charge for his services as little as he
please--even five cents The new law has
nothing in it concerning rates of fare.
So, even without resorting to the sight
seeing car" device or the taximeter the
"jitneur' may be able TO render in part at
least the service which the poor man wants
and IL Councils really aims to eliminate en-
tireiy the convenience of cheap motor trans
portation, it will have to try again.

ambitious men.
The Philadelphans who will combine to-

Is simple, The South Americans need what
