WIN THE WAR WITH
TRADE ACCEPTANCES'
High Point in Address Delivered
by Dean of School of Eco
nomics in Cleveland.

CleVeland.-"Win the War With
Trade Acceptances. That was the
high point in an address given here
by DR.. ]. T. Holdsworth, dean of the
school of economics of the University
Of P1ttsburg. He was speaking before
the Cleveland Association of Credit
Men. There were 400 leading manu-
facturers, wholesalers, jobbers, bank
Frs and retailers in attendance.
The trade acceptance is a substi-
tute for the open book account. 1t is
negotiable and subject to discount at
any bank. 1t is liquid instead of rigid.
1t is the next step ahead following the
federal reserve law. The federal re-
serve law made possible Americas
entrance into the war. Without it our
financial system would never have
stood the strain. Now we need a
means to wipe out bad debt losses and
to put money tied up in mercantile
transactions into usable form. If we
get it the f1otation of this and subse-
quent Liberty Loans will be made
easy. It is the one remaining thing
needful to insure winning the war
from financial standpoint Every
business man should adopt the trade
acceptance" This was the essence of
| Dean Holdsworth's address.

restriction a very serious measure in
view of the situation and feeling in
Holland. He declared Dutch CONNER

said, boasted of Dutch origin, owed a
tremendous lot to Holland, therefore
was under moral obligations to help
her. In conclusion, he said shat the
American government was playing a
high hand.
