Federal Reserve Board Sees Peril In
Purchase of Short-Term Notes
Formal Stat, mt Issued From
Washington-BIow to Financiers.

Washington. Nov, 29.-The federal
reserve bonrd issued statement on
Monday warning banks and the public
against the purchase of short-term for
| eign notes.
l. The statement will be a severe blow
to the financiers who were planning to
float these loans in the United States.
The statement says In part:
'In view of contradictory notes
which have appeared in the press re-
garding its attitude toward the pur-
chasing by banks In this country Of
treasury bills of foreign governments,
the board deems 1t duty to define its
position clearly.
"The board believes that ut this
time banks should proceed with much
caution In locking up their funds In
long term obligations which are short
term In form or name, but which,
either by contract or through force OF
circumstances, may have to be re-
newed until normal conditions return.
The boards concern and responsibility
lies primarily with the banking stu
alton.
IF, however, our banking institu-
tions have to intervene because for
eign securities are offered faster than
they can be absorbed by investors
that is, their depositors-an element
would be introduced which, If not kept
under control, would tend toward in
stability and ultimate injury to the
economic development of this coun-
try.
"While the loans may be short In
form and severally may be collected at
maturity, the object of the borrower
must be to attempt to renew them col
lectively, with the result that the ag-
gregate amount placed here will re-
main until such time as it may be adj
vantageously converted into q long
term obligation. 1t would, therefore.
seem that funds of our banks, which
should be available for short credit
facilities to our merchants, manufac-
turers and farmers, would be absorbed
for other purposes to a disproportion-
ate degree, especially in view of the
fact that many of our banks are al
ready carrying foreign obligations
which they are under agreement to re-
new.
'The board deems, therefore, its
cuty to caution the member banks that
1t does not regard 1t in the interest of
the country at this time that they in
vest in foreign treasury bills of this
character"

President Wilson's Weakness.

Undoubtedly the impression left
upon an unprecedented student Of Mr..
Wilson's public career is that Of a
wavering, shifting personality. ever
seeking line of least resistance. His
innumerable changes of mind on I'm
portant questions point inevitably to
sacrifice Of principle In favor Of
political expediency. More significant
still have been his direct surrender to
dictation from special interests. His
well-known reliance upon unofficial adj
visers in the conduct Of his admins
tration is another Indication Of his
inability to stand alone, to mark out
course for himself and pursue It to
the end because he believes 1t to be
right. = Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele-

PLoRABLE CONDITION.
Democrats Make Loud Claims Of "Pros'
perity" While PiIing UP an Enor-
nous neutrality-suspicious.
Beyond All Reason.

The Democratic administration,
which is loudly proclaiming prosper
fly" is piling up government deficit
Of nearly $g,OO0,OO0 every "a hours.
Congress has made appropriations
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1917,
which total $1,63O, $4,000. Every
source Of revenue available at pres
ent will fall short $444, S14,0OO of rails
Ing that sum.
The estimates of incomes are: From
customs duties $225, 100000, inter-
nal laws $515,O00,OOO, new rev.
enue law S2O5,OOO,OOO, sale of Pan
anna canal bonds remaining In the
treasury $240,569,OOO That is to-
tai Of $945, 100000 with which to pay
81 $50 1880
OF the appropriations for the cur
rent year $349, 103,590 are attributable
to military and naval preparedness
and on account of the war situation.
In addition to that item, which Is
looked upon as extraordinary, the
Democrats have arranged to spend In
the present year $336,OOO.O0O in ex-
cess of the revenues of the nation.
Not only are they facing deficit
Of $444 ,S14,000, but to keep 1t down to
that total they are figuring on selling
$24O,5G9,000 Panama canal bonds, thus
adding to our bonded debt by $40, $685.
600. In other words, In one years OPP
erations, they would increase by
$685., 3S3,000 the amount the country
owes. That is more than two-thirds
the total national debt of $1,02S, 564,-
O55 when they took charge.
During the first eight months Of
the present year our shipments of ma
terlal exceeded similar shipments made
during the same period in the year
the war began by 1885, 100000. Add
ed to this there was gain in the ex-
port of cotton and breadstuffs to sup
ply clothing and food needs of Eu-
rope due wholly to the war, which in
creases the total to 81 4S,000,O0O. Our
total exports of all kinds now amount
to 50. 100000 more than they were
in 1914 There is no evading the OBJ
vious fact that the war was the cause.
What Is going to happen to this
business and the employment of Amer
lean wage-earners which is back Of II
when the war ends? There is Ger.
tain to be a great change.

Cut Trees by Exploding Dynamite.

Instead of an TX and saw to remove
the tops Of trees that are to be used
as masts in logging operations, dyna-
mite is used To shoot off the tops.
After the branches have been removed,
n rigger climbs the tree, with set OF
irons, to the point where 1t Is neces-
sary to cut off the top Here the trunk
is usually about II inches in diane
ter. The rigger ties string Of dyna-
mite cartridges, fastened end to end
like saus,fyes, around the trunk at this
point. inserts a blasting cap with about
20 feet of fuse in one Of these sticks,
lights the end Of the fuse, and de-
scends before the explosion takes
place. The tree top pumps into the
air with the explosion and the trunk
is left ready for attaching the rigging
for dragging in and loading the logs.

Conditions After the War.

When the war ends, the demand for
our strictly war exports will abrupt
ly cease. The belligererts will begin
at once to supply their other needs.
The neutral countries of Europe will
not have to look to America alone for
their supplies. These are conditions
which cannot be avoided. But there
is greater peril still. Our own homo
market, which furnishes business
eight times as great as even our pres
ent abnormal export trade, will be in
vaded unless an adequate protective
tariff is Immediately imposed. 1t will
be the most attractive market in the
world to gold-hungry Europe.
