fer of credit, one of the conditions of
the credit extended to foreign nations
being that the money borrowed from
this government must be spent for sup
plies within this country So when
the United States lends two hundred
million dollars to Great Britain, this
Government merely assemblies the
credit of its people and lends that
credit to Great Britain to enable Great
Britain to enlarge its operations of
buying our supplies. SO while we are
aiding Great Britain, by giving her
lower interest rate than she otherwise
could get. we are aiding ourselves
by providing new demands upon all
of our industries, new demands for
labor, larger requirements of raw ma
terials and greater market for food
supplies.
The administration has profited
from the costly experience of other
nations by outlaying a policy which
provides for combination of borrow
ing and taxation in order to keep down
the bad effects usually resulting from
large borrowing.
But this tendency to minimize price
initiation is not the only saving grace
III Tic new program VI WAT llUdnCe.
The secretary of the treasury, instead
of calling for subscriptions to the en-
tire loan at one time, called for only
two billion dollars once. His object
was, manifestly to distribute the
shock of the loan Such a program
makes it possible for this money t.
be subscribed; to be loaned to Euro
pean countries; to be expended for
ctr|nr1fnc in, 10 H.,
again distributed to its normal chan
nels of business before the next in
stallment is called for. Such a plan
makes it possible to handle the liberty
loan by degrees with the least per-
centage of business displacement.
Another provision in the making of
the Liberty loan which helped to re-
duce its i'll effects to the minimum
was that giving the secretary of the
treasury authority to deposit the
money subscribed for bonds in banks
throughout the country. 1t is his
policy to distribute these deposits
where the money originates. Thus
again is provided an excellent safe
guard against business displacement
The floating of this great loan will
afford opportunity for getting a new
angle on the saving habit of Ameri-
cans. Heretofore Americans have not
been satisfied with the law returns
provided for government securities
They have not been buyers of govern
ment bonds. 1t is said that less than
one fifth of one per cent of the peo-
pie of the United States are bond own
ers, and of course only a small portion
of these are holders of government
bonds. In Great Britain and France
nearly II per cent of the people have
actually participated in the raising of
war revenue by the purchase of bonds.
On the basis of patriotic duty a great
many Americans will now become
bond holders and the practice of buy
ing this class Of securities will be
stimulated.
In order to make this great loan a
complete cuccess, in order to mini
mize the evil of effects; in order to
distribute the shock so that business
will not feel it, it will be absolutely
necessary for the people at large to
participate generously in the Liberty
loan. To require the banks and trust

 "SHUN WALL STREET"

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-''If you would be wealthy, never speculate in Wall street, never maintain an office, eat slowly, don't stay up all night, don't drink ice water and keep out of draughts."
 This is the advice of late Mrs. Hetty Green, worlds wealthiest wo- man, as given to her son, Colonel Edward H. R. Green. He made it public while testifying in his in heritance tax hearing.
 Colonel Green said his mother gave him these financial hints both verbally and by making notations on business letters he submitted for her perusal. Other lessons he learn ed from watching her at work mak- ing money were: Never lend mon ey on call, never deal with the pub lie, invest and reinvest both prin- cipal and interest in a paying prop osition.

SOCIALIST PARTY DISINTERGATING

The indications that the is working the undoing of the Socialist party in this country The party had already into rough and was weathering its way with difficulty before the United States got into the conflict That was evi- denced by the reduction of 35 per in the So calist vote between 1912 and 1916 notwithstanding increase of than 20 per cent in the total vote of the country in the time. The Demo cratic vote increased about 50 per cent while the Republican vote-Hughes' lead over the combined vote of Taft and Roosevelt-showed an increase of near l3 per cent. between 1912 and 1916. But the has caused further disntergation. Many So calist leaders have quit the party. and others have been read out of it. Now, from its diminishing membership. is being formed another Socialist party.
 This is natural result of the great convulsons through which the peoples of the world have been passing. The Socialists in party controlling bers professed to disregard international lines. They preferred to regard the world divided into classes instead of governments and geographical loca tons and they elected to be members of class Then came the war, and the early establishment of loyalty on the part of German Socialists to the Kaiser and the Prussian class system. Then Americas entrance into the war, the disclosure that Socialists of this country in thousands of instances pro.German. They favored the German recognition of classes rather than American dem ocracy which refuses to recognize the existence of classes in government
 Socialism as 1t is represented in American pol tics thrives class consciousness The Socialist party has fought for the ascendency of the working class as class. It is opposed to system that through individual effort makes the workingmen of one decade the employers of the next. It opposes the individualism of democracy such as obtains in America. France and Great Britain, where working men and workingmen's become leaders in gov ernment. industry education and society, It does not seek freedom for the individual It's field is class controversy It assumes that the capitaistic class has had special privileges and it seeks to wrest these privileges from the capitalists they might be enjoyed by those of another class. There fore 1t prefers Germany where class consciousness b general Therefore it prefers German Kultur to American democracy. Therefore patriotic Americans are leaving the party.
 Of course. the constant of the Wilson Administration in aboishing special privileges has nd lot to do with the disinergration of the So
