Confidence Felt in
Future of Russia
Agent of M. kerensky Reas-
sures Holders of Ma
tion's Bonds

LONDON, June 21.-Conviction that
the Bolshcvik government would be
overthrown and that a new Russian
government would take steps to pay
Russia's foreign debt was expressed
by DR.. David Soskice at recent meet
ing of the holders of Russian bonds
here. DR.. Soskice is confidential secre-
tary to former Premier Kerensky of
Russia
He declared that it would require an
immense amount of capital to recon
struct the great industrial and agri-
cultural fabric of Russia. Russia, he
said, can only find that capital in Eng
land and America.
C. Birch Crisp, banker, said he be-
lieved the majority of tho people of
tunity to set themselves right with the
rest of the civilized world.
The chairman of the meeting said it
was almost impossible TO ascertain the
amount of Russia's debt. According to
information received by the London
Stock Exchange, it amounted on Janu-
airy 1. 1917, to about sS,35S, 100000. Of
this, he said, the direct loans made by
the state probably would amount to
Il 00,000,000. In addition there were
twelve municipal loans issued by Rus
sian cities to the amount of f20 100000
1t was not clear whether these figures
included the war advances made to
Russia fy the Allied nations. These
were unoficially stated TO aggregate
from 100000 600 to S800,000,000.

Developments in the money mar
ket have been of unusual interest
in recent days. There has been
more or less stringency in money
for more than fortnight. During
the last week the supply of funds
available for stock market pur-
poses has been greatly restricted,
with the result that many houses
found it impossible to obtain call
money even at the top rates of 6 to
672 per cent. At the same time
the banks continued their policy of
restricting their offerings of time
funds. The money markets main
source of relief was the bankers
money committee, which made sub.
stantial loans on call, although bv
no means releasing sufficient funds
to bring about any marked degree
of ease in the situation. Operations
In the local money market are now
under the careful supervision of the
bankers money committee, and the
Federal Reserve Bank and all bank
ers must make daily reports of
their loan transactions. This step
has been taken as a result of the
shortage Of funds, and should in
the long run make for greater sta
bllity of rates. Heavy demands lie
ahead of the market. The moving
to market of bumper crops must be
financed at the same time that the
steady demand Of the government
is satisfied.

NSpec,a! Correspondence Of The Tribune)
BOSTON, July 27.-In commenting
upon the textile trade of this country
and the possibilities of expanding it in
overseas lands, the editor of "The
American Wool and Cotton Reporter
said:
What will probably be one of the
most potent Influences in developinc
the export trade of this country is the
passing and operation of the Webb

MANUFACTURER TO combine for the pur-
pose of developing foreign trade. The
Allied Industrial Corporation recently
announced that forty-four mill owners.

ally $lo0,OO0,00O. have given the cor
poratlon authority to send agents to
Central and South America. Cuba,
Porto Rico, the Dominican Republic,
the Philippines and the Straits Settle
ments to introduce their goods These
hrms include good number OF textile
manufacturers. Any textile manu-
lacturcr or manufacturer in any line
who expects to share in the great ex-
port business which is bound to come
at the close of the war, and is rot a
member of an export organization,
should register at once in order to be
ready to take advantage of the oppor
tunity offered by enactment of the

Combine to Cut Price
OF Autos and Supplies
New Zealand Organization Has
Agent in United States

"A New Zealand organization known
as the Combined Buyers Limited) has
representative in the United States.
1t is stated by Consul General Alfred
A. "lnslow at Auckland, to form CON
fections and arrange for supplies for
this Cooperative organization. 1t
was organized to supply automobiles,
trucks, tires, automobile specialties
and supplies at a very great reduction
N price to it's members. The company
at present has capital of 1918 300
divided into shares Of S48.67 each. of
which the greater portion have been
taken over by individuals at par. A
person may become a member of the
ASSOCIATION on paying for five shares
and IS entitled to any purchases he
may make at 10 per cent above the
actual cost value Of landing the
articles in this country.
The membership of the combine is
increasing rapidly, with the result that
III is beginning to seriously interfe re
with the regular automobile dealers in
the DOMINION. A move is on foot to
combat this combination of BUYERS. 1t
IS claimed that this combination is
able to save its members from 20 to 80
PER cent on the purchases over that
charged by the regular dealers in the
Dominion.
In order TO combat this semi-cooper-
atlve association, the regular auto
mobile dealers and garage people have
organized an association that proposes
to bring every influence to bear to de-
ltat this movement by refusing to
handle any motor cars or materials for
any manufacturer who has formerly
knowingly dealt with this combine.

During the past year exports from
Australia of beef, mutton and lamb
amounted to 118,54o tons, according to

Must Enlarge Glasses
For Mexican Trade
American Ware Has Supplanted
German Products During
the War

American drinking glasses are now
fndlng market in the Salina Cruz
district of Mexico, all the ware of this
KIND now used there coming from the
United States. Prior to the war Ger
mans supplied a large proportion of
such goods, although imports from
Spain were extensive. Germans and
the Spanish catered to local needs.
The water glass used before the war
was double or treble the size of the
ordinary American drinking glass and
of much heavier make, but all have
disappeared, as the life of glass is
very short.
The American glass is not suited to
the Mexican market. In the tropics
people drink deep. The American COB
let or tumbler must be constantly re-
plenished, and if a larger article is
not placed on the market American
glassware will be driven from the field
when European supplies are again
available

Competition or Cooperation To
Be a Great Post War Problem
Despite Labor Demands for Naturalization Travelling and
Observing Public Doubts if Government Owner
ship Would Have Private Control Efficiency

tion along the lines Of consolidation
and cooperation rather than those of
individuality and competition. The
potential possibilities of economy and
better service under unified control
seem unanswerabe on paper, vet the
public is wondering whether they are
of more value than the manifest bene
hts OF active competition. For long
number of years Socialists and the.
oretlc economists have set forth co0per
alton as the natural form of procedure
which an enlightened and altrus:c
world should and would naturally ap-
ply to all business relations between
men and women. Conversely. compe-
tition was denounced as the survival
among human beings of the ruthless
natural law of the survival of the fit
test which obtains among the beasts
that perish.
1t is perfectly true that such ex-
amples in the business world of the
benefits of consolidation and the sup
preston of competition during the past
quarter of century failed signally to
cxemplify any of the benefits to the
public which these consultations held
out in the beginning of their ex-
istence as reasons for their being.
What always happened were higher
prices of the commodities they con-
trolled, and rarely. if ever, any better
service. Moreover, the benefits of the
consultations were mostly for their
stockholders and often not even for
all of them, but frequently only for a
select few. The usual answer to these
unquestioncd results was that what
had happened was just what might be
expected, seeing that the most i'm
portant factor of all, human nature.
had been entirely left out of consider
alton and that human beings naturally
and inevitably would take advantage
of such situations for their own benefit
and enrichment.

Loyalty Makes
For Efficiency

Before the war there were a number
of roads-the Pennsylvania and Atchi-
son being conspicuous examples-which
were noted for the esprit de corps and
loyalty existing among their employees.
This in turn was reflected in the SER
vice they gave, for efficiency in any
organization depends more upon the
employees liking their jobs and taking
an intelligent interest in them than
upon any other factor. Undoubtedly it
is much broader point of view, and
more patriotic one, to be working for
the general good than for one line Of
transportation. But it takes such an
emergency as the present to create this
wider range Of thought and feeling, and
with the coming of normal times there
will be most naturally among the many
the return to that more immediate in
terest in local affairs and environments
which was SO striking characteristic
in general of the country before the
war.
The serious labor problem in all great
industrial and commercial organizations
is to furnish incentive and to create
initiative among its employees that am
bition may be aroused for their own
advancement Whenever the prospect
appears 10 be one, among most of the
workers, of merely holding their jobs,
without any special hope of betterment,
there invariably ensues a decreased
efficiency in labor, for with the absence
of enlightened self-interest the only
remaining incentive is usually that
sense Of duty which fortunately is
inherent in most human beings.
In private employment, moreover, it
is usually found that it is bar to the
highest efficiency for any employe to
be too sure of his job, whereas official
life often finds this Scylla dilemma
preferable to the Charybdis fashion of
the spoils belonging to the victor.

Great Service

others. seems to lend itself to a solu-
New-York tribune., 1918-07-29
By Archey Wall Douglas

~ NE of the most striking and sig
nifcant pronouncemcnts in the
English labor postwar pro-
gramme is the unqualified demand for
the naturalization of transportation
and industrial activities for the benc-
fit of the people, rather than have
them revert to private control, as in
the past Especially does the Labor
party regard as unthinkable the return
to private ownership of the trans
the government. Yet there is little
doubt in the minds of those who travel
and observe that if, after the war, the
proposition were submitted to the gen.
efal vote, government retention of the
railroads in this country would not
carry. This, too, despite the general
conviction that necessity demanded the
taking over of the railroads and that
the situation is undoubtedly far better
than if the railroads had been left un-
assisted to work out the insolublc
problem they were up against. Nor is
there anything in general but prompt
and cheerful acquiescence in those dis
comforts which the situation neces-
sarily entails. But in this, as in somo
other existing conditions. the feeling
is that what is right and necessary in
war may be, from it's very nature, un-
suited and untitled for the times of
peace.
The things which are most obvious
in transportation to-day are increased
costs and unsatisfactory service, though
every traveller knows full we'll that
both are unavoidable under existing
circumstances. The real wonder is
that there is so little disturbance to
ordinary business, when there is taken
into consideration the inadequacy of
transportation facilities and the tre.
mendous burdens suddenly thrust upon
them. More farreaching and more
sinister in it's import is the apparently
lowered morale in railway service of
both employers and employees.

Human Nature
A Big Factor

The argument went on further, how
ever, that it would be different if the
government took over all the principal
productive enterprises and ran them
solely for the benefit of the people, see
ing that this really meant that the
people were running these enterprises
themselves. Unfortunately, in this
latter hypothesis, the factor of human
nature has been also omitted. Whether
an industrial or commercial organiza-
tlon is a success or failure is almost
entirely question of management. and
this statement applies with equal force
to public utilities, whether run by a
city, state or the Federal government.
In the last analysis some one person
has to manage every organization if
1t Is to be run to the best possible
advantage in the ways of economy and
service. Whenever organizations are
managed by bureaus, governed largely
by precedent and tradition, we all
know what invariably happens in the
way of red tape, useless expense and
the inefficiency of the human labor en-
ployed by such bureaus. Municipal
governments furnish especially vivid
and sometimes CHASTITY examples of the
truth of this latter statement. Right
here let us clearly recognize that the
recent very wonderful performances
and accomplishments in public service
during war times are not likely in anv-
thing like the same measures when
peace comes. for the simple reason that
the full animating impulse and spirit
Will not be present. Working for the
government in the heyday time of
peace will be different proposition
from that freely given service now so
greatly and admirably in evidence.

tlonallsm and public service from the

baptism to entirely remove the Old
