A WAR FOR TRADE

n ARTISANS of the allies
~ charge the United States
with being mercenary
and money grasping because
this country refrainS from
entering the war on their side
but sells war supplies of all
sorts at such prices as may be
obtained.
The Germans also place the
mercenary brand on Uncle
Sam, our sales of munitions and
foodStuffs being particularly
obnoxious because they are
made to Germany's enemies.
But if the United States is
mercenary in peace; Europe is
mercenary in war for the war
is more than anything else a
commercial war. 1t is idle for
German or English to rail at
the United States for money
making when Europe is being

Co. and that it is the purpose
of the city officials to demand
changes such as will protect
the public welfare.
Pendleton is a good town
and our people desire to make
it better, commercially, sOci-
ally and otherwise. To do this
we must keep the path of pro
gress open and the community
energy free from needless in
cumbrances. To tie up the city
with a 10 year lighting con-
tract, with no chance for es-
cape, might cause ineStimable
harm. 1t would bar the door
on a municipal electric plant
and upon a rival company.
We would foreswear our right
to the blessing of inventive
progress for a decade,
The people of Pendleton will
approve the course of those
councilmen who plan to safe
guard the rights of the city.
Were the council to accept
such a contract as has been
submitted by the company
there would be ground for
suspicion.

the interior. Gold imports
from Canada were renewed,
about S25,O00,00O having ar
rived this week with prospects
of more following. December
! disbursements were estimated
at nearly $I70,000,000, or
about 20 millions more than a
year ago. This increase is
small compared with the
known profits of many con-
Germs, but proves that abnor-
NAL earnings are to a large ex-
tent being wisely devoted to re-
ducing fixed obligations, inn
proving plant, building extern
sions and otherwise putting our
industrial concerns in strong
er position for meeting cOntin-
gencies. January disburse-
ments will also be heavy, ana
a good investment demand for
better grade securities is to be
anticipated during the next few
weeks. The disposition to
"salt down" recent gains be-
coming more and more evident
among conservative investors.
The war as a factor exerted
little effect last week. The
persistent talk of peace natu-
rally affects the outlook of in
dustrials dependent upon war
contracts, though this factor is
naturally offset by the absolute
refusal of the Allies to consider
any mediation at this time.
The growing pressure of neu-
trail influence, however, plus
war WEAKNESS and the intense
longing for an end to this ter
rible conflict must in time
bring peace.
Fundamentally the market is
in fairly good condition, since
trade is active, credit sound,
and there are no signs of bust
ness recession. There is no
question but that the advance
in stocks had been too rapid
and uneven, and some sort of
readjustment was inevitable.
The reaction of the last few
days has been beneficial, and
as soon as it has run its course
recovery will be in order;
though it must be remembered
these are unsettled times and
discrimination should be close
ly followed.-From the Clews
