OUR TIMID FINANcIERs

N 0 the big financiers of the
W country have the virility
and aggressiveness of the
typical American businessman
or have they become, through
too much wealth, over fearful
and over selfish? Have they
profited so much through pri-
vilege that they are now afraid
to face the business game as it
was once played by the strong
men of America?
These questions become per;
tinent in view of facts now
known. The editorial from
the New York World 'Indict-
ing a Great Industry" presents
facts that are diScreditable to
the steel trust.
But this is not all. Our in
surance companies at the out
set of the war failed in an inn
portant duty that rightfully
fell to their lot. They either
refused to write maritime war
insurance or demanded charg-
es that were exorbitant. The
government stepped in to save
the day. With a fund of but
100000 available the govern
ment has handled the war
risks and netted profit of al
most three million dollars, at
the same time giving vastly
lower rates than private COM
panies would give.
As to ship building the situ-
alton was much the same. With
ships being destroyed daily
and with charters soaring to
the skies our shipping financi-
ers waited for months before
they would order new ships.
Not until the administration
had passed its ship purchase
law did the ship builders real
ly get into action.
The ordinary American bus
inessman is eager to improve
an investment opportunity and
will take a reasonable chance.
The big fellows seem to want
a sure thing and on top of that
8 guarantee of profits beyond
all reason.

INDICTING A GREAT IN
DUSTRY

MLTHOUGH Secretary Dan
~ iels's story of navy shells
during his administration
is a simple little tale, it carries
an indictment as cOmprehen.
sive as any true bill ever re-
turned by grand jury.
With no competition among
themselves or abroad, Ameri-
can steel manufacturers in
1912 had gradually advanced
the price of 14-inch armOr-
piercing projectiles to $500
each. In 1918, learning that
Hadfields of England had
made a bid, they cut their pro-
posal to S315 each, with other
sizes reduced in proportion.
The latter part of 1914, war in
Europe having begun and no
foreign bids having been re-
ceived, they increased theil
prices 500. This year, still
believing that outside compe-
tition was impossible, some Of
them made a price of $539
Hadfields, however, appeared
with a bid nearly so per cent
below the lowest American
offer and received the con.
tract.
AS the secretary well says, a
difference in price can be ex.
pressed in dollars, but a differ
ence in quality, on which the
fate of a BATTLE might depend,
no money can measure. In
this respect the American rec
ord is bad, even shameful. Of
shells submitted for test by one
maker, only 8.8 per cent pass
ed; by another, only 37.7 per
cent, and by another, the high
est, only 73 per cent. One of
these manufacturers has re-
Gently cOmplained-and con-
fessed-in a newspaper adver-
tisement that of the shells
manufactured under a contract
entered upon two years ago
not one has met the require
ments of the department.
Thus the sum of the matter
is that American steel-makers
are aggrieved because they are
not allowed to name their own
prices for inferior shells. With
eyes fixed only on prices and
profits, they have hardly made
q pretense of Keeping their
products in line with modern
standards. To have yielded to
them would have been to plum
der the treasury and, in time
Of war, to deliver the fleet to
destruction.
If the steel-makers plead to
this indictment, will they de-
fend their extortion on grounds
of inefficiency or acknowledge
their culpability on both
counts? It must be one or the
other.-New York World.

You apply just few drops on the
