Wasting Men
And Materials

Thousands Of worlmen who
should be producing metals neces-
s&ry TO win the war are engaged in
the production of gold; thousands Of
tons Of steel and dynamite, and mill
ions Of feet Of timber are used in
producing this gold. And all for
what? Simply TO produce a metal
which is stored away in the vaults
Of the Treasury or else sent abroad
TO pay for purchases. Could not

| realize that vested interests and
industries can not and should not be
wiped out in an instant. There are
communities in the United States de-
voted entirely to the production Of
gold, and it would be impossible,
without a great deal Of misery and
suffering, to shut down these indus
tries and transfer the inhabitants to
other places. Still, the ordinary
laws of supply and demand are to
a large extent doing this by increas-
ing the costs Of producing gold, and
consequently making the incentive
to mine it less attractive. In a GER

Board Of Trade claims that labor is

fore the war; that dynamite is twice

War Imposes New Duties
On American Exporters

WASHINGTON, Dee. lin his first
annual report as CHIEF of the Bureau
/ Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of
The Department of Commerce, Burwell
5. Cutler says:
"From the beginning OF the war 20
/ the time of our entrance into it the
! business of the American manufacturer
and exporter was to make the most
or new opportunities in the markets
/ Of acknowledgement countries. TO take
wise and needful steps in preparation
Tor trade after the war and 10 sell mu-
nitions and supplies TO the belliger-
ents.
These were legitimate activities.
Z hey were vital 70 the industrial life
OF the nation. But when we entered
the war the perspective changed. Trade
with our war associates assumed a new.
different, a much greater significance
3 in our eyes. IL became primarily a
means of winning the war rather than
/ OF winning profits. II became a link
between the greatest storehouse in the
world and the European nations with
/ whom we had cast our lot in the world
struggle.
"Our attitude toward the markets in
non belligerent countries has also
changed as a matter of course. Trade
with them must now be conducted with
a careful and patriotic Difference TO the
successful prosecution of the war.
Preparations that we make TO hold our
place in those markets and to expand
our opportunities must be made for the
time being with strict reference 10 pol
icies which govern our political rela-
tlons. However, II is confidently ex-
pected that our trade with South Amer
ca, the Far East, South Africa and with
Australia will not be too seriously in
/ terfered with and that we may reap
| IN the future the benefits OF having
cultivated those markets so assiduoug-
ly and intelligently during the past few
I wears.
important as it is that we hold
our own advantage in these and other
markets. We must not lose sight OF the
: fact that all such advantages are likely
TO disappear if we do not come out Of
/ the war victoriously."
Before entering the bureau Mr. Cut
I Ter was president Of large manufact-
uring concern, fact that lends inter
est TO the following estimate OF the
. bureaus service TO the American man
ufacturer:
"As a practical manufacturer and ex-
porter entertained to a mild extent an
instructive skeptcism regarding the ef-
/ iiciency in organization and productive
capacity Of government bureau as
compared with the highly organized
/ forces characteristic of large private
enterprises, for this is feeling all too
common among business men. | find
I that msapprehension Of the value Of
/ the bureau il based on typical gnOr-
/ ance of the bureaus current activities.
/ Please let me emphasize the conviction
| that the Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce is a genuinely pro-
ducing agency. we'll organized and cal
! culated TO assist our manufacturers and
merchants in ways eminently useful"

Though the stock market was
subjected to comparatively little
selling pressure Yesterday and was
only systematically active, prices Of
many of the leading issues fell quite
as much as they did in several much
more exciting sessions during the
last few weeks. The explanation
was that support was very thin, the
demand for investment stocks being
especially light. This is no; sur
prising. On several occasions in
the last three months reactions in
the stock market have been fol
lowed by the appearance Of bargain
hunters i'm the Street and invest
mcnt demand seemed TO be revivirg.
Bot each time there has been a re-
newal Of liquidation 50 heavy that
prices were carried to new low
levels. This has happened so often
that investors are discouraged. and
there is consequently a general ten
dency to hold aloof from the mar
ket. even though it is widely be
lieved that stocks are cheap. Cur
rent dealings are made up largely
Of the exchange OF counters be-
tween professional spectators.

Relevant Comment
Liberty Bonds at 81

The Liberty Loan second IS sold on
the Stock Exchange yesterday at the
old low Of 81. At that price there was
a good investment demand for them. In
yestment bankers are of the opinion
that. in view Of the likelihood Of a new
Liberty Loan being offered in the early
spring, the As at 81 will attract specu-
latiye buying. They base their argu-
ments on the belief that before the
next loan appears the last Offering
would have 10 sell at 80 to give the
Treasury Department assurance Of the
success of another Bond experts
figure that the present As bought at ~
and sold at a 2-point profit viii give to
the trader the equivalent Of 10 per
cent annually on his money over a
three months period.

While Stock Exchange officials
refuse to make known the results
Of their Investigations Of short sell
ing. it is apparent that bear raid
ing" has not been responsible for
the recent declines in stock prices.
Doubtless pernicious short selling
was a factor of some Importance
before the board took measures to
check it: but it is doubtful if even
the vicious bear raiding which was
50 prominent in the late summer
and early fall exerted controlling
influence on the general trend OF
prices. Real liquidation of an I'M
portant character, coming mainly
from large interests, is chiefly re-
sponsible for the long continued
price recession. Probably in the
absence Of "raiding' the existence
Of a short interest has been quite
as constructive as the reverse.
There have been times when invest
ment demand was almost wholly alb
sent and the market has had to rely
on short covering for support.
Had there been no short interest,
the declines might have been more
precipitate and prices now much
lower than they are. The influence
of short selling on security values
during recent months is, however, a
question Of public interest, and there
is no good reason why the Stock
Exchange authorities should with
hold the general information now
in its possession.
