The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The weeks developments in the mar
ket for Scandinavian exchange have
once more directed attention to the
difficulties confronting certain Ameri-
can importing houses doing business
with the European reutrals As eX-
change on these countries mounts
steadily higher owing 10 the rigid EN-
barge restrictions thrown about com
modify exports from Great Britain and
the United States, American firms find
il harder 10 arrange payment for goods
imported. Gold cannot be shipped and
the supply of exchange is limited. Ac-
cordingly, the American importers
have 10 pay big premiums on the eX-
change they buy.
Last week the rate on Stockholm.
Sweden. rose TO the record breaking
level of 3S cents. This compared with
a normal exchange value for crowns
of 26.S cents. In other words, the
Swedish crown in terms of American
currency was az premium OF more
than 35 per cent. In the case of eX-
change on Norway and Denmark the
premium was not so great. owing TO
the fact that the demand for Nor
wegian and Danish crowns is never as
great as is the case with Swedish eX-
change.
The extent to which America i'm
porting houses are feeling the effects
OF the adverse movement OF the neu-
tral exchanges is indicated by the COM
plants that are being made to the
Treasury Department at Washington.
II was stated during the week that the
Secretary of the Treasury is almost
daily in receipt Of communications
from importers urging the establish
ment of q Federal foreign exchange
department 20 handle the matter. II
is asserted that the facilities afforded
by such a control would help stabilize
the American dollar in every country
that We are doing business With. Such

Copper miners in the Butte district

23 u cents a pound.

the Autocracy might emerge tri- umphant from the war.
 All this We know from our own experience with the Imperial Government. As they have dealt with Europe, 30 they have dealt with us and with all mankind. And so out of these years the conviction has grown that until the German Nation is devested of such rulers democracy cannot be safe.
 There remained but one ele- ,neht to confuse the issue. One other great autocracy. the Gov ernment of the Russian Czar. had long been hostile to free in. stitutions; it had been a strong hold of tyrannies reaching far back into the past; and it's pres ence among the Allies had seem- ed to be in disac cord with the great liberal principles they were upholding in this war. Russia had been a source of doubt. Re peatedly during the conflict lib- eral Europe had been startled by the news of secret accord be- tween the Kaiser and the Czar. But now at this crucial time for our Nation, on the eve of our entrance into the war. the free men of all the world were thrill ed and heartened by the news that the people of Russia had ris- en to throw off their Government and found a new democracy; and the torch of freedom in Russia lit up the last dark phases of the situation abroad. Here indeed was fit partner for the League of Honor. The conviction was finally crystalized in American minds and hearts that this war across the sea was no mere con- flict between dynasties but a stu pendous civil war of all the world new campaign in the age-old war, the prize of which is liber- ty. Here at last was a struggle in which all who love freedom have a stake. Further neutral ity on our part would have been crime against our ancestors, who had given their lives that we might be free.
 ''The world must be made safe for democracy.
 On the 2nd of April. 1917, the President read to the new Con- gress his message, in which he asked the Representatives of the Nation to declare the existence of state of war. and in the early hours of the 9th of April the House by an overwhelming vote accepted the joint resolution which had already passedsthe Senate:
 Whereas the Imperial tGerman
