London Expects New
War Loan Shortly

London, Nov. 1s.-Ali sorts of rumors
have been current in the money market
and on the Stock Exchange regarding
the new war loan which the British
government will have to float sooner
or later. The consensus Of opinion
seems to favor the early part OF the
new year for the issue, as a good deal
of money is released at that time in
the way Of dividends and coupon pay
ments. No official hint has been given
beyond Chancellor McKenna's state
ment the other day that the new loan
would make its appearance at favor.
able opportunity.
Suggestions from various quarters
would indicate that the financial com
munity wishes the government, in fran
ing the terms of the loan, to remember
its obligation to holders Of the Az pei
cent war loan and exchequer bonds. the
consolidation Of Treasury bills, and
make the issue attractive TO all classes
of the population. While the big finan
cial houses, insurance companies and
banks have taken a large amount OF
short term bonds from the government,
there is little doubt they would rather
have their funds in long dated invest.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The weeks foreign remittance mar
ket was characterized by another
demonstration OF frmness on the part
Of the leading Allied exchanges, ster-
ling bills and francs. Both were held
at the peg" levels and scarcely
moved, despite large volume OF busi-
ness. Russian exchange, which had
broken 10 a low Of 29.40 the previous
week, rallied sharply on announcement
OF another s5O,OOO,OO0 Russian loan,
10 close at 5000 cents. Teutonic ex-
changes were generally heavy, with
pressure on Vienna bills. Swiss ex-
change moved closer to parity.
An interesting feature was the in
creasing strength of exchange on Ar
rentina. Pesos closed at 1905; that
is. il took that amount of Argentina
pesos to buy an American dollar,
whereas the normal rate is 1886.

The First National Bank of Phil
adelpbia in its November letter Of
comment on economic conditions
wonders misgivingly if the people
will be able to digest their prosper
ity. THE test of great wealth Is
upon u.s." it says. "Never before
were there so many Office boys get
ting a mans wage which the mu-
nitions makers have been glad to
pay. The question is, can the office
boys stand it?" The comment is in
tended to be illustrative. Some ex-
aggeration, therefore, may be al
lowed. What the First National is
talking about is not the desertion Of
office boys literally, but the democrat
ization of labor generally by the high
wages paid in the war industries. 1t
may be noticed parenthetically that
the conditions complained of were
rot created by labor in the first
place. The manufacturer is perfect
ly willing to demoralize labor by
high wages if by so doing he may
gather his own profits. He does not
ask whether it is good for labor or
whether the wage Garner can stand
his prosperity. in the manufactur-
er's point of view there is less con-
Germ about the Generalization OF
labor than toward the problem OF
how to get wages down again when
profits shall have returned to nor
NAL ratios. And this leads to the
main question. Are we not attend
ing too much to the immediate phe-
nomena Of extravaganza among wage
earners and too little to the psy-
Geological Importance of increasing
human wants?

There is a car famine on the rail
roads. If new cars could be built as
fast as they are needed the problem
would be met in that way. 1t Is the
easiest way; also the most wasteful.
But cars cannot be built. There is
scarcity of labor, materials are
very dear and the facilities of trans
portation are overwhelmed. These
conditions, which create the problem,
also defeat the obvious solution Of it,
for you cannot build cars without
labor, materials and transportation.
The easiest and most wasteful way,
therefore, is closed. Something else
must be done. SO the eyes are
opened, and one Of the first things
discovered is that there is plenty OF
equipment if only it could be utilized
to the maximum Of its capacity. If
cars were loaded faster and fuller,
unloaded at once on reaching the
destination and returned promptly TO
where they came from, much more
transportation could be produced
with the existing amount of railroad
equipment. This would require CO.
operation between the shippers and
the railroads and better traffic man.
agement. The railroads have opened
a nationwide campaign of education
to impress upon the shippers the ne
cessity of using railroad cars more
efficiently in order that all the
freight may be moved, and it will
undoubtedly produce results, be-
cause there is no other way. The
capacity per unit Of railroad equip
ment has been increasing steadily
for many years, but the larger cars
have not been utilized to anywhere
near their maximum capacity. The
statistical ratio of empty space per
loaded car has been rising, or, to
express it in the other term, the load
line has been falling. To lift the
load line in the railroad car would
be a great economic saving, and
would Offset lot of individual
extravaganza.

TRADE IN CHEAP
LUXURESBOO

Munition Workers Spend
Earnings Freely-Food
Control a Problem
BY FRANCIS W. HIRST
by Cable 20 The Tribune

London, Norember Is.
Replying to a question about the
future Of Constantinople and Asia
Minor, Mr.. Bonar Law said last
night, on behalf Of Premier Asquith /:
This and other subjects are being
considered by the Allies as a whole. /"
This suggests that recent reports as
to German overtures were not I'M
founded. Certainly every one here
is talking about peace possibilities.
The economic problem Of the food
supply is at last receiving the at
tentiOn it deserves. Much Parlia-
mentary criticism has been directed
against the government for recruit
ing men for the army from agri-
culture and from other essential in
dustries. The justice Of the criti-
cism is admitted by President Runci-
man of the London Board Of Trade.
At the moment the appointment Of
the man who is TO have charge Of
the food supply is awaited with
great interest Many of US hold that
prices will be better regulated than
under the German rationing system
War prices tend to reduce consump-
ton automatically.
Large Firms Change Domicile
The acute economic situation in
Australia still points to the need for
the political solution previously in
dicated. One large company has
passed resolutions changing its DOM
icile from London to Australia to
avoid the double income tax. This
unwelcome movement may extend to
other firms.
Much satisfaction is expressed at
the indications from New York of
your increasing willingness to
finance your excess Of exports to the
Allies by means of short-term loans,
thus avoiding the danger of gold in
fation.
Under the latest prohibition de-
cree of the Board of Trade, imports
under the head of jewelry, clocks,
watches, ETC., which pay the new
tariff duty, are being exempted. The
prohibition has further stimulated
the trade in cheap luxuries, which
was already booming as a result Of
the prosperity of the munition work
ers.

Extravaganza and thrift are
strange companions. They go to-
gether, quarrelling always, but work
ing out by stress many unexpected
compensations. In the economics Of
production and distribution there is
a tremendous amount Of waste
which we do not see because we are
so accustomed to the sight of it that
we take it for granted. Individual
extravaganza becoming uncontrol-
liable, as now is the case, ways of col
lective saving are discovered. Ne
