The development of her railroads
since the beginning of the war has

quired can be obtained by compari-
son with that of the United States.
The total mileage in Russia is $4,000
miles, against 100000 miles in this
country. This means for Russia, on
the basis of square miles, only per
cent, and on the basis of population,
only 10 per cent, of the railway mile
age of the United States.

the gold standard and the dollar in
the United States, the silver stand
ard and the peso in Honduras, and
fiduciary paper standard and the
milreis in Brazil. Foreign invest
ments, on the other hand, are often
made in different standards of value,
and are usually made in different
monetary units than those of the
home country. This is not an essen
tial difference between domestic and
foreign investments, since in times
of peace the great majority of the
leading countries of the world are on
the gold standard, and there are
numerous instances in which several
countries have the same monetary
unit. The modern trend Of foreign
investments, however, is strongly in
the direction of the less developed
countries like those of Latin Amer
lea and continental Asia, and most
of these countries do not possess an
established gold standard nor de
facto monetary units identical with
those of any of the more advanced
countries.

What Legislation
Contemplates

w nat LCSiSlduOil
Contemplates
The legislation now under consid-
Grafton differs in important details
from the plan proposed by the Sas-
katchewan commission, but the Hon.
Edward Brown, Treasurer of Mani
toba, who, working with the treas
urers of the two sister provinces, is
chiefly responsible for the present
measure, frankly admits his obliga-
tion to the Saskatchewan investi-
gators. The scheme contemplates
the creation in each of the three CO.
operating provinces of a rural credit
association to administer the act.
Such association will be under a
board of management of five mem
bers, of whom the chairman alone
will be a permanent salaried official.
The chairman is to be appointed
by the government of the province,
which will also select two of the
other members, while the remaining
two, it is suggested, will be nomi-
mated by the Union of Municipal
ties. 1t is provided that two of the
non-salaried members shall be Lib
erals and the two other two shall be
Conservatives.
The influence of the new rural
credits law Of the United States is
plainly seen in the scheme devised
for Western Canada. The most in
teresting difference between the two
systems is that the local option plan
will be tried in Canada, with the
municipality as the unit, instead Of
the local association, as in the United
States. After the necessary legisla-
ton has been enacted by the prov
ince, no money will be loaned to any
farmer until the municipality in
which he resides has submitted by
law to the electors and a majority
vote has brought the act into opera
ton in that municipality. Each mu-
nicipality which approves the by
law will, by so doing, guarantee the
government against loss to the ex-
tent of per cent of the money
loaned in that municipality. The
secretary-treasurer of the munich
pality will be required to receive all
local applications for loans and pass
them on to a supervisory committee
appointed by the municipal council
to recommend the granting of loans
by the board of management of the
provincial rural credits association.

When Russia

Development of the Empire S
Vast Resources viii Open
a Wonderful Field for
American Investment
Nv SAMUEL MROBERTS,

yice.President The National City Bank
of New York
From an address before Boston
Chapter, American Institute Of
Banking0
ITO GAIN a full conception OF
the opportunities afforded for
II American capital in Russia,
it is necessary to compare Russia
not with the United States at this
time but with the United States at
the close of the Civil War. At that
time the people of the United States
resided in the territory east of the
Mississippi River, having the terri
tory between the Mississippi and the
Pacific Slope as a great reserve do
main, yet to be developed. On
vastly larger scale, the same situa-
ton is reproduced in Russia to-day.
Its present population and its devel-
oped civilization are located in Eu-
ropean Russia, with its Asiatic pos
sessions. five-sixths of its territory.
still undeveloped. Just as the United
States then turned to the develop
ment of its public lands and mineral
deposits in the West and the or
ganization Of its industries in the
East. Russia, in order to produce the
greatly increased wealth necessary
TO meet her financial obligations and
hold the more important position in
the worlds affairs which the war has
thrust upon her, is now taking stock
of her great timber resources, her
fertile unoccupied lands, the hidden
resources of her mountain ranges,
and turning her attention to the or
ganization of industries in her more
thickly populated sections.

countries.
Money Speaks in
Various Languages
Even in those cases, where the
monetary standard in the country
where the investments are being
made is the same as that of the
country from which the capital is
coming, differences in the unit of
value are to a small extent obstacles
to the ready flow of capital. For
eign units, like the bolivar of Vene-
zuela or the colon of Costa RIGA,
even when on a gold basis, speak
foreign language. The capitalist
can translate it by an effort, but it
is not language in which he thinks.
He can automatically compute the
equivalents in terms of his own
money, but he does not feel them
when prizes are quoted.
This difficulty, however, is a small
one compared with the one arising
from differences in the standard of
value itself. The wide fluctuations
in the gold value of silver during re-
cent years, for example, SO per cent
in 1907 and nearly 40 per cent in
1916 to September 10, are familiar
to students of economics, likewise
the even greater fluctuations in the
paper-money units of fiduciary-
standard countries. When the gold
value of a silver-standard peso or of
a fiduciary- standard milreis depre-
ciates, say, 20 per cent as measured
by foreign exchange rates, it does
not mean that local prices in terms
of silver or paper-money units will
at the same time rise 20 per cent.
Price changes respond very slowly,
and sometimes imperceptibly, if at
all, to changes in the gold values of
the monetary units of countries not
on a gold standard. Short-time
fluctuations in the gold values of
these units have little or no effect on
local prices, and the longtime swings
make their influence felt on the
prices of the majority of goods very
slowly. This fact is of great sig
nificance to the foreign investor.
From the standpoint of the cur
rency problem, foreign investments
divide themselves into two classes;
in the first class the investor becomes
a proprietor, in the second a cred
itor.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-01-21

inevitable that Russia, pursuing the
same policy of high tariffs and for
eign loans pursued by this country
will establish and build up her own
essential manufacturing industries.

DEATH OF JOHN ANDRE

Although a certain ignominy at
taches to a spy, yet he deserves honor,
flor performing a necessary work at
the constant peril of his life. For the
spy knows when he sets out on his
appointed task that to be discovered
means death-there is only one PEN
atty for him. Many brave and high
minded man has served his country as
O. spy. In the great war now being
6ought as well as In earlier wars. The
Amer1can revolution produced many
notable examples of this type of pa
trt0t, but the most famous were Ma
than Hale and Major Andre Hale, the
gchoolmaster, captured and self-con-
demned az o spy, died with the declar-
alton on his lips, IL only regret that
] have but one life to give for INV
country" NO less brave was the death
,lof the talented young British officer
John Andre, who was employed on
Sir Henry Clinton to carry the CORE.
spondence with Arnold, respecting the
the latter's betrayal of his country. il
WAS 1877 years ago today, Oct. 2, 1880
that the sentence of the court of In
uuiry was carried out, and Andre was
s'hanged by the neck until dead" He
met his fate calmly, after his last ap.
peal that he be permitted to die like
M soldier had failed. The execution
took place on the west bank of the
Hudson where hts remains were al
first inferred. In 1921 his bones were
exhumed and conveyed to England
and found a last resting place neal
his monument in Westminster Abbey
"a monument was erected at the place
bf his execution by the late Cyrus w
Field. but it was COON afterward blown
up by unknown persons.

In this made a mistake. The
Italian women took their part, pre-
siding with dignity, discussing all
moral questions all matters dealing
with public reforms, with the educa-
ton Of their children, with the liquor
habit and vice, in a broad-spirited,
able manner. They are working in
the prisons, among the fallen and
disgraced- They are stepping out of
the almost monastic seclusion to
which they have been condemned by
customs that have descended from
former generations and are taking
front rank. The men acknowledged
their right to think and act for them
selves.

~urn club and those of other European
cities. has hundreds OF members. Lit
erature, philanthropy, reforms. patri-
otism. art and music are among its

MANY HOMES IN

Wages Drop, Business Goes
to Bow-wows According
to This Writer

The following letter, dated Denver
Cole, and addressed to an officer of
the San Francisco Labor Council. to
which Bro. Mortimer, the writer, SER
we'd several terms as an fonored and
Influential delegate of the Cigar Ma
kers' Union, is published for the pur-
pose of giving the San Francisco la
on subject concerning which the
truth Is difficult to learn by reason
of the bias and interests of the par
tfsans on either side Of the, ques-
ton. The letter from H. Mortimer
reads:
AS I have been here In this ''dry
town. about two months and was
| able to study the effects of prohibi-
ton on the town and It's Inhabitants
at first hand; having gained a fair
idea about it, thought would drop
you a few lines.
The cigar business is very good
here Just now. But that has nothing
| to do with prohibition, though it is
claimed SO by many elsewhere. The
reason Is that two of the largest
firms have extended their selling ter
ritory outside the state Of Colorado.
When landed here, the very first
| day, and went into a restaurant. the
first man I met coming out was a.
drunk, and he had dandy" load.
asked druggist to sell me ten
cents worth of alcohol for medical
purpose. He asked me if had a
doctors prescription. When I re-
Piled that I had NOT. he said that L
must have one before he could sell
me any alcohol He informed me 1t
only cost one dollar for a prescrip-
ton. Can you imagine paying one
dollar for the privilege of buying
ten cents worth of alcohol.
The more observe things here
and get acquainted, the more am
/ disguised with Denver and prohibit
ton. don't know how the working
people get along here. Necessities of
| life cost at least rs per cent more
here than In San Francisco, where,
God knows, they are high enough
this year. Wages generally are less
than am used to finding them. To
illustrate: Lamb chops are sold for
E50 cents pound goat chops IS cents
a pound and sold in many places for
lamb chops, California plums and
apricots are selling here at present
for IL IL cents pound, Turlock
melons 10 cents EACH and California
cherries sold here six weeks ago for
IS cents a pound. Before I left San
Francisco I bought two pounds of
them for s cents. wouldn't that get
your goat? One is practically held
up for everything one buys.
J. Hundreds of vacant houses here
can be rented at your own price, and
no one to occupy them. It is the
only cheap thing here. Many Of the
streets are not improved. even in the
so-ca11ed good neighborhoods, and
the grass Is quite high now. Denver

awful "kick." After you drink it you
