The important difference between
Europe's / o u and her gold is
that one absorbs credit and the other
creates credit. When Great Britain
sells loan in this country it simply
borrows credit from individuals and
Institutions and banks at so much
per cent; and if you can think of
credit as a commodity subject to the
influences of supply and demand
then you may suppose that after
British loan has been placed the
supply of credit is diminished and
the price of credit, meaning the rate
of interest, may tend for that reason
TO rise. But if Great Britain deliv-
ers gold into this country she actu-
ally creates credit. The gold goes
into the reserves of banks. Against
certain amount of gold you can
sell a much greater amount Of
credit. The proportion varies. 1t
is greater in theory than in practice.
Roughly, you may count that dol
lar of gold in the reserve of a bank
can become the base of four or five
dollars of credit. Thus, as the gold
reserve rises the supply of credit in
creases. Great Britain has actually
in the last two years created more
potential credit in this country than
she has borrowed.

Look Westward!
and Find Faith
There a Dairy Cow Is Greater
than a Politician, and Man in
His Wisdom Pursueth Only
the Elemental Things.
By ARCHER WALL DOUGLAS
st. Louis, October 2S.

81. Louis, OCTOBER 2S.
The East has ever been prone to re-
ioice over its cosmopolitan and world
wide interests because of bordering on
the great ocean which separates it
from Europe. So, naturally and uncon-
sciously, it views the near future with
concern because of the uncertainties
which shroud it. 1t Is a foreboding
subject at best, mostly because there is
nothing to be made of ii even by those
seers who differ at every turn. Then,
too, the East, more especially the fnan-
cial East, has much apprehension over
the ultimate fate of the railroads, since
it regards government regulation in its
present state as a doubtful experiment
and the possibility Of government own
ership as a national calamity. More
over, there is phase of Eastern
thought afraid of its horses in the
shape Of democracy. Vested interests
are seen with their backs against the
wall. Fears and forebodings are prev
alent, despite the plenitude of business
the riot Of prosperity. Somewhere in
the New Testament is the story of the
man "who was concerned by none of
these things" and that to-day is the
spirit Of the West.
The thought and endcavor Of the
man in the small hamlet and on the
countryside is TO do something imme-
diately constructive for his own local
ity, and that spirit has spread until IL
permcatcs even the great cities.
People are much occupied in Western
cities with raising great sums Of money
for state and municipal development.
Delegations Of business men celebrate
the sending to rural districts of car

loads of blooded cattle for dairy pur-
poses.
In many sections of the Central west
the dairy COW excites deeper and more
widespread interest than the coming
Presidential election. She represents
something that is sound, modern, prof.
table and elemental in farming. Every
where there is spreading the organiza-
ton of boys pig clubs, boys corn CLUBS
girls canning clubs and calf CLUBS Inc
country banker is financing the small
boy who wishes to buy pig or cali
all for his own. So he gives his note
for the amount needed and, man fash
ion, unfailingly pays both interest and
principal. He gets in touch with the
state university and learns how to care
for and feed his animal. and wins
prizcs from this same university for
his proficiency.
Deeper than all goes the desire for
better schools-so much so that one OF
the compelling demands for a new con-
stitution in Missouri is the desire to
remodel and enlarge the whole scheme
of state education. At Chamber OF
Commerce banquets in the great cities
the popular talker is no longer the pro-
fessional after-dinner speaker, with his
stale stories and his ineptitudes, but
the man from the country, homely and
telling in speech, with the flavor Of his
surroundings clinging to him, and who
bears tale of the duties and obliga-
tons of the great centres to the rural
districts.
A commercial life and an economic
tendency, blindly going astray and los
ing its proportion of values. has been
headed back to those elemental pur-
suits in which it now recognizes the
foundations of all its prosperity. Fort
unately. it is free from that environ
ment which in some sections obscures
true vision and places stress upon the
artificial and abnormal; free from
those benumbing traditions and inner
itances which hamper endeavor ana
clog progress; free from the influence
of a gambling stock market, whose de-
lusions of its own profound economic
Importance fool only itself and its
unlucky votaries.

Monday, October so, 1916

We scale new peaks unawares.
Last week for the first time we
turned our palms outward against
Europe's gold, of which we have
already perhaps more than is good.
Nevertheless, nearly S5O,OOO,O0O
more was received and added to our
hoard. and that was the largest
amount of precious metal ever taken
into this country's vaults-perhaps
the largest amount that has ever
been taken into any country's vaults
i'm a single week. There was no
excitement over it. Only a year ago
the Anglo-French loan of S5OO,OOo,-
600 was a tremendous adventure In
American finance. 1t was led up to
by prolonged and timorous negotia-
tons and launched with big propa-
ganda. Actually there were intelli-
gent people who disbelieved that SO
large a foreign issue could be sue
cessfully placed in this country.
That seems now a remote historical
incident. Less than three months
ago a S25O,OOO,OOO British loan was
sold in four days. 1t was immedi-
ately followed by S50,0OO,0OO Paris
loan. That was followed by an en-
eagement of S1OO,OO0,OOO of COM
mercial credit for France. And last
week j. P. Morgan & Co. announced
another British loan of OO,OOO,OO
This transaction is of all foreign
loans the most interesting. 1t was
solicited by the lenders. The British
government was not Immediately IN
need of funds to meet its obligations
in this country. Yet it was prevailed
upon to borrow. Why? The bank
ers have stated the reasons. They
thought it desirable, in the first
place, to take advantage of the easy
condition of the money market, and
they were very anxious, in the sec
ond place, to check, if possible, the
thrush of foreign gold. 1t is the
sense of the American banking COM
munity that we had better take more
Of Europe's promises and less of her
cold. 1t is a situation without
precedent. One could not have i'm
agined a country heavily engaged IN
foreign commerce erecting barriers
against gold or preferring payment
in the buyers ! o U. 1t happened
first in Scandinavia. There gold is
at a discount and goods are at a
premium. The belligerent countries
bought goods for gold on such
scale that presently there was glut
of gold, a scarcity of goods and
wild rise in prices. 1t takes longer
to feel the effects in this country.
There has been felt as yet no actual
scarcity of goods. There has been
only the idea of scarcity.

debt owing by Great Britain in New
York. There is probably at all times
q very large foreign floating debt
carried by hundreds of banks in the
form of negotiable paper. Thirdly,
il is possible that our merchandise
exports have been overvalued. They
generally are. Also, the amount of
American securities liquidated by
foreign holders may be underesti-
mated in the above calculation. 1t
could imaginably be 100000, 900
higher. But we need not bother to
discuss the discrepancy. We have
received since the war began $685.
100000 of gold, and this addition to
our bank reserves is sufficient to
support a credit expansion of more
than $3,OO0,000,000. That is more
than all the promissory notes placed
here by Great Britain, France, Italy
and Russia. Soft may be said that
the Entente Allies by their ship
ments of gold to this country have
created more credit than they have
borrowed. Their gold has made
chedit cheap and accessible. 1t has
kept interest rates low. But it has
done another thing. 1t has greatly
influenced merchandise prices to rise.
The great rise in prices now TAX
ing place is caused by the double in
fuence of an extraordinary demand
and at the same time an enormous
increase in the flow of money oper-
ating together upon a supply OF
goods which increases now slowly or
not at all. The supply of foodstuffs
and of agricultural products gen
orally is diminished, owing to acts
of Providence. Industrial produc-
ton has been pushed to the utmost
limit. The supply of industrial
goods can be increased only as the
machine can be enlarged, which
under the circumstances must be
slowly. 1t seems, therefore, very
stupid to allow the stuff in which
merchandise is priced to go on in
creasing, if it can be prevented. If
the demand for goods cannot be con-
trolled the volume of gold money
may be. If Great Britain would
hold her gold, that NIGH help lot.
If she increased her borrowing on
promissory notes and diminished her
shipments of gold she might have to
borrow at higher rate of interest,
but she would perhaps more than
make up for that loss by arresting
the rise in merchandise prices. If
Great Britain cannot be prevailed
upon to accept this view, then steps
should be taken to impound the gold
and keep it out of bank reserves.
The effect of that would be to cause
interest rates to rise and check ex-
travagant borrowing. When the
first free American citizen had been
denied access to cheap credit by
right of birth a great howl would
rise. We should hear that the
country had been delivered over to
the predatory banking class. But
then we should learn of what stuff
the Federal Reserve Bank board is
made.

the Importance Of high standards OF
efficiency, anxious to learn the best
in American business methods and to
introduce American labor-saving ma
chinery. Their counter demands upon
us to increase their exports to Amer
lea were modest, reasonable and
mutually beneficial in principle.
1.-THE commission was impressed
with the large number of plants oper-
ating under our latest standards of
efficiency and in general by the degree
of talent, energy and fortitude dis
played by the industrial classes. The
