DOLLARS BELOW PAR VALUE

The Scandinavian countries are
just now reaping a harvest as re-
suit Of the war, and their exports far
exceed their imports. They trade
with both Russia and Germany, the
blockade of the allies not affecting
the home products. II the Scandina-
Wan merchants were allowed free
dom in the matter of purchasing sup
plies in the United States they would
coon possess untold wealth. The
embargo, Of course, prevents any sucn
dealings. 1t also has had the effect
of curtailing legitimate commerce
with this country and the American
dollar Is steady declining in value on
the Scandinavian courses. There is
little satisfaction, SO far as the Unit
cd States Is concerned, to know that
the English pound sterling has been
leading the dollar downward that the
German mark shows a loss of 30 per
cent, that the Russian ruble and the
Austrian crown are worth today half
their normal value and that the
French franc is % per cent under
par.
The United States Is not at war
and there is no excuse for the de-
probation of the dollar in Scandina-
via when a parity could easily be
maintained. Undoubtedly the allied
nations have at least good excuse
for shutting off supplies from the
central nations, but they have no
right to destroy the entire trade oil
the United States with the Scandin'
avian countries, and It Is to be hop
ed some heed will be paid to the
latest protest made to Great Britain
regarding interference with the mails
This interference Is much more 90
rious matter than generally supposed
70 IL is responsible in a great meas
ure for the loss of our trade Win
the Scandnavians. Letters reachlns
Stockholm recently were mailed IL
New York seven weeks ago, having
been seized en- route by British pat
RI, boats and taken into port for In
spection by the government censors
This means that 1t would require
three months and half for mer
chant in New York to send letteI
To Stockholm and receive a reply
As business cannot be transacted II
that manner, commerce between th'
limited states and Scandinavia ha'
practically ceased and the American
dollar has deprecated in value IN
stead OF being the measure of Naiu'
the world over. This situation prom
ably suits the government ana PEG
ple of Great Britain, but 1t Is Ia
from satisfactory to the people of TN
United States and their representa-
tiyes at Washington.
In addition to delaying the bust
ness letters between this countr!
and other neutral nations, the prac
tice of holding up the mails puts TIT
British in possession Of the trau
secrets of American merchants ant
manufacturers. Germany has beer
forced to change her method OF sub
marine warfare. Great Britain
should be required TO keep her hands
off the mails of the neutral nauoni

for the sake Of obligations to Great
Britains allies. The speaker said
that IL the war had to be continued
until Constantinople fell, or until the
unknown obligations to the allies
were fulfilled, the country ought to
be told what these obligations are,
and IL there was no. essential differ.
ence between Germany and Great
Britain and no such obligations the
government ought to take the earliest
opportunity to press for a termina'
ton of the war.
Obligations Of Allies
Sir Edward Grey in replying, poin-
ted out that his interview contained
no new declarations. He had no pre-
pared speech or statement to make,
but he said II he thought the Ger
man government or German opinion
had reached the point where the al
lied governments could bring a peace
compatible with their desires nearer
by making speeches about peace. he
would make dozens of them. But,
the foreign minister added, the time
has not yet arrived and the allies
we're bound by common obligations
not to put forward any terms OF
peace except by mutual agreement.
Sir Ponsonby also attacked the
governments diplomacy. He said the
future of Europe would depend on
the capacity of statesmen for survey
ing the great problems in broad
spirit. The insularity which had
characterized British diplomacy In
the past constituted the real danger
The government must recognize that
the war had reached q deadlock and
at the same time the superior posi-
ton Of Great Britain must be recog
nized. The latter was due to the
spirit and valor OF the people and
not to statesmen.
Peril In Delay
The speaker said that he hoped the
statesmen were not going to imperil
the situation by delay and ineptitude.
Nothing had helped Germany more
than the extreme lingo utterances Of
responsible Statesmen. They had ell
abled Prussianism to keep Germany
together. Mr.. Ponsonby said recrim-
nations must cease. He considered
it wanting in respect to the British
people for the minister's to disregard
parliament and adopt the American
press as platform.
The war would never end, Mr..
Ponsonby continued, if Great Britain
waited until Sir Edward and DR..
Won Bethmann Hollweg (the German
imperial chancellor) agreed as 10

NEW YORK, Aug 22-Edward
Feeney of Brooklyn "a member of the
national committee of public morals
of the American Federation Catholic
society, read a report bitterly de-
nouncing the directors of American
universities who permit an alien
radicalism to contaminate at its
fount our country's youth
Feeney urged the delegates to in
sist that your sons minds be unde-
based. steer clear OF the school that
tolerates a pagan idea or the mater
ialistic conception of history either
through addle- Drained professors or
socialistic clatter. Demand the eX-
pulsion of Marxism, immortality and
disloyalty to the religion of your
fathers"
The report also suggested a Cath
olic theater as a means of regulating
movies, emphasized the evil Of di-
vorce and denounced the states per-
hitting easy divorces. Feeney denreo
reports that the Catholics were at
tempting to gain control of the gov
ernment and urged a greater Catholic
unity.
