 The process by which Great Britain Is extracting gtedged American securities from the pockets or her people in exchange for British promises to pay, is most interesting piece of news of strategy It pre- sents features of great importance to the United States one of them being the consolidation of power In the hands of the British government to depress the Amer can financial market by flooding 1t with securities
 The British owners of American securities are ask ed to sell their holdings to the British government at the current prices in New York payable in cash or flo per cent five year excheQuer bonds at par If huge amount of securities should be dumped nto New fork he British holders would lose accordingly f they ac cepted cash and if they had previously chosen excneq uer bonds the British government could turn pretty penny by forcing down prices in New York That gov- arnnent already has given assurances however. that 1t VII not dispose of the securities n such manner as to depress prices in New York What 1t might make rom it's own people by depressing prices would be off set by the impaired purchasing power of the securities in this country.
 The purpose of the excheQuer bond issue which takes care of these securities is to relieve the British Treasury of the necessity of financing the war by treas ary bills only" The fact Is, of course that no more credit can be obtained in the United States and the British government therefore. must oflcr something more valuable than its bonds notes By giving its own notes to it's people and acquiring gtedge Amer- ean securities 1t continue financing the war" But
 cannot afford to depress the value of these American securities here as that would be reducing it's own pur chasing power
 The United States in better condition to buy back the securities sold abroad It can take them all if the process is not too sudden. The balance of trade Is bling up at the rate ofS20OO0OO0OO year. about S4OOOOOOOO gold been sent to this country md about S1OOOOOOOoo has been lent to Europe suce the war began The of American securities held in England is not certainly known but is estimated 1t from sl5OO0OOOOO to SS.5oOoooOoo. The total has been decreased considerably by prvate sales since hos ,ilities started.

 It is true that some towns camorng for the right sell bonds, and 1t is also true that if Congress had strictly proh bited it. many of them would even now be struggling under burden of debt with its attendant burden of interest When a boom strikes an Alaskan town the needs the community for time greater the but If allowed to mortgage the future md then the boom dissoves the whole weight of the municipal debt and It's eternal Interest falls few of he faithful who stand by the town until after long period of years 1t begins to grow aga.n The careful business will always pay he goes and avoid the payment of heavy interest charges Why not the same plan for the welfare of a city or @ state?
