Additional differentials named on
cotton goods and the naming of cot

Board were the chief features Of the
development of price fixing plans in

Trading is becoming steadier and mills
are now beginning to accept more busi-

and retailers are still holding off, as
there are many prices yet to be
changed to harmonic with the values
set upon merchandise as it leaves tho

do not give promise of very drastic
reduction. but they insure a stabiliza-

Russia s Experience
Should Be a Warning

Russia should afford an example
extreme, no doubt, but most il
luminating-of the dangers of
financing war by methods of cur
rency initiation. There was-there
still is--no difficulty with Russia's
resources, her margin of available
surplus product to maintain war
though she probably attempted to
make her armies over-large for her
powers of maintenance. But once
her money was discredited, her me-
dunn of exchanges and Of payment,
all her resources became unavail-
able--and they remain so. For her

plan which has been followed by the
warning nations. Two countries only,
the United Kingdom and the United
States, have from the outset under
taken to obtain by taxation revenues
sufficient to meet not only the interest
on the new debt, but substantial por-
tion of the actual war expenditure. In
view of the enormous expenditure en-
tailed by the war, the results achieved
~ both countries are notable.
In the financial year 1918 rev.
enue other than from loans sufficed to
cover 81 per cent of the total expendi-
lures (other than for advances to
Allies) in the United Kingdom and SO
per cent in the United States; the in
crease in such revenue over the last
peace year (1914 and 1917 respectively
sufficed to meet 27 per cent of the in
crease in expenditure Gncludng inter-
est on the war debt) in the United
Kingdom and 43 per cent in the United
States, or to provide for the interest
on the war debt and in addition 20 pcr
cent Of the increase in expenditure in
the United Kingdom and AZ per cent in
the United States.
In both countries this has been ac-
complished mainly through the in
crease of income taxes and the imposi-
tion of taxes on excess profits due to
the war, rather than by the increase of
revenue from consumption taxes. Be-
tween 1914 and 1913 the revenue from
such taxes in the United Kingdom IN
creased from $236,000,00O to $685.
100000, while revenue from consump-
tion taxes increased from $375,0O0 to
S65O,000. Exemption from the income
tax has been reduced from $500 to $3.50
and the rates greatly increased. On in
comes Of $1,000 the rates are Az per
cent on earned and per cent on un-
earned incomes. They increase rapidly
reaching the maximum, approximately
42 per cent, at incomes Of about $685.

bearing. But any appreciable ex-
haustion Of our resources in plant
and equipment is improbable and,
in the main, impossible.
In point, then, of their aggregate
resources in wealth as distinguished
from their financial resources the
endurance Of the Entente nations
has suffered no impairment and
can suffer none. Even with regard
to shipping this statement holds in
substantial truth. AS a question Of
industrial capacity and of possible
economies in consumption America
has the ability to carry for indef-,
mite centuries war burdens far
greater than those that we are at
present carrying. With America as
one among the Entente nations the
resources Of the Entente are still un-
impaired and foretell no impairment.
Under right methods, therefore,
there can arrive no time limit OH
their military activities. As a prac-
tical question endurance for them is
a matter Of financial endurance. 1t
is only on the side of finance that
there is serious danger of serious
laundering. But because, with
America in the war, there is no
America left in reserve it is espe-
cially imperative that we do not
waste our endurance in unjust bur-
dens or in cheap and improvident
finance.
