The Guaranty Trust Company's
Position
Position

It is pleasure to publish this morn
ing the disclaimer from the Guaranty
Trust Company that it favors wide credit
expansion or printing press methods as
a means of financing the war. On Janu-
ary 20 The Tribune reprinted an article
from Mr.. Charles II. Sabin, president of
the company, in which he pictured
thrift, increased production and credit
enpansion" as the three available means
at hand to meet the great financial
strains Of the war.
On the subject of credit expansion Mr..
Sabin's paper dealt at length with the
tremendous possibility for expansion that
lay in the present gold holdings of the
Federal Reserve banks, setting forth
that "on the basis of this reserve it would
be possible for the member banks to in
turn extend credit of approximately $780,
0O0,0OO,00O."
Twenty billions of new credit would
more than double the present commercial
banking credits of the United States, and
in the judgment of most economists such
an expansion would double or triple the
present average of prices. Mr.. Sabin
continued:
1--WE shall unquestionably have to draw
upon our enormous reserves, but there is
reason for alarm on that account
"This country is financially strong
enough and has sufficient wealth -produc-
ing power to withstand the strain and to
effect the necessary consequences"
We took this to mean that Mr.. Sabin
did not believe or did not fear that such
colossal credit expansion would have
any disastrous effect upon the price
levels and the business economy Of the
country, and this seemed to The Tribune
a very dangerous doctrine. All this was
duly set forth in an editorial of Janu
ary 81.
To all this Mr.. Sabin made no dis
claimer.-
A month later the Guaranty Trust
Company published an elaborate paper
upon the subject of imitation. setting
forth the view that as bank reserves
were ample no imitation exists, and
therefore none is to be feared. In this
New-York tribune., 1918-05-02
A Call for Our Navy

Is there an opportunity for a larger
employment of our feet in European
waters?
Mr.. Caspar Whitney, The Tribune's
war correspondent, who has just
visited the Italian front, thinks that
there is. In yesterdays issue he pointed
out the need Of increased naval force
in the Mediterranean, to meet the situa-
ton created by a German seizure of the
Russian Black Sea squadron.
If Germany can take over and refit
the Russian ships and combine them
with what is left of the Turkish navy,
an active German naval base may be
created at Constantinople. From the
Dardanelles the communications of the
Allied army at Salonica might be raided
and control of the eastern end of the
Mediterranean disputed with the Allied
forces now patrolling it.
We are disabled from contributing to
the defense of the Salonica route be-
cause we are nominally not at war with
Bulgaria and Turkey. Here is another
exasperating result of our policy of
ignoring the fact that Bulgaria and
Turkey are making war on us. In so
far as they fight for Germany they
fight against the United States Ger
tainly anything that endangers Allied
sea control concerns our safety
We should give whatever aid we can
in policing the Mediterranean, and as
preliminary we should declare war on
the Bulgars and the Turks.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-02

That was only seven pages after the
colloquy with General Wood, who was i'm
portuning him instantly to call out
larger army Twenty pages on from
there he spoke naively of the perpexity
in which the War Department was), for
Eve might have perfected an army over
here and carried it across the ocean and
found it wholly unadapted to Its task,
and it might we'll have been that the
army we sent across was just the cne
thing that they did not need"
And on the next pare he said that ut
the outset "the idea was that we should
be financial and industrial assistance
to our allies during the year 1915"
1t is not in unkindness or in a spirit
of criticism that we cite these facts. Il
is to remind the War Department that
plans require heroic fulfilment
Let us not conceal from ourselves the
fact that we have been heroic in our in
tentions and tardy in our performances
from the beginning. The more keenly
we realize this truth, the less likely we
are to forget the oncoming of that one
quarter of an hour.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-02
Labor's War

eve are too busy to parade" is the
May Day sentiment of labor in America.
This is true patriotism, and it proves
better than dozen orations the growing
solidarity of labor in the war.
What we are beginning to realize over
here is that this is in literal truth labor's
war; 1t would be absurd and suicidal
for labor behind the lines or any part OF
that labor to work half -heartedly for
war when it is labor, and no one else,
who is fighting that war at the front.
When the break in the Allied forces
threatened Amiens it was laborers, drop
ping their picks and shovels and seizing
guns, who stepped into the breach and
held the line. So ran the dispatches.
But the rest of our soldiers were equally
laborers; they had dropped their tools at
home and seized guns. Only their corps
and their assignment to their particular
task by reason of special aptitude dis
tinguished the Engineers from any other
fighting men.
Wars of special class have passed on.
This, the great war, is war of, by and
for the people. May Day is good day
of the year to take these words to heart.

Thy Kingdom Come

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May I not supplement the letter of
Faith Clifford in The Tribune of the 25th
inst. by saying that the surest way of
knowing that God is for US is for us to be
for God? God is spirit, the Spirit from
whom comes all the love, justice truth.
purity, honor, ETC., that dwell in the hearts
of men.
There is always danger that human be-
ings may wander away from these things
and still imagine that they are on Gods
side, as in the case of the Kaiser, who, hav-
ing turned his back completely on all that
God stands for, still imagnes that God is
with him.
Lest we fall into that grave error should
not our daily prayer be "Thy kingdom
come" which just now includes victory" for
our nation and the Allies, and will insure our
not forgetting the aims, for which we are
now tighting-namey, ridding the world of
an enemy of God and establishing liberty
and justice-not merely victory for our
selves and our allies?

A Word for the Mavor

Despite his opposition to the proposal
when the legislation was pending, Mayor
Hylan has signed the Lockwood bill per-
mitting the Public Service Commission
and the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment to readjust contracts for sub
way construction. For this the Mayor is
to be commended.
Without such law-and it is to be as
sumed that Governor Whitman will make
the bill a law-tlris city would come to a
deplorable state. The subway contractors
since the beginning of the war have had
to increase wages to hold their work.
men. The cost of materials has risen
enormously. 1t has become an impossi-
bility for them to complete their con-
tracts at the contract prices.
Under this bill the city assumes part
of this war-imposed burden. The con-
tractors will complete their contracts, re-
ceiving only the cost of the work, with
out profit. This is rather hard on them,
but it is better than bankruptcy. It
means that the city will have to pay
more for it's new subways than was
counted on, but it will escape without the
greater cost that bankruptcy of the con-
tractors would have imposed on it. 1t
seems the best way out of bad situa-
ton chargeable only to the war;

Limited Initiation

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the editorial "'The Danger of Un-
limited Expansion," which appears in to-
days issue of The Tribune, is the following
statement:
1--WE invite the attention of certain members
of the Federal Reserve Board, of the gentleman
who regards himself its mentor and guide, of
certain Controller of the Currency, of our
friends of The Journal of Commerce., of the
Guaranty Trust of Mr.. Thomas w. Lamont and
of all believers that the printing press and un-
limited credit proper means of financing
the war, to recent publication from WASH
ingtcn
We take emphatic exception to the asser-
tion that the Guaranty Trust Company be-
lleves that the printing press and unlim-
tied credit are a proper means of financing
the war" No such statement has ever been
issued in behalf of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany, and placing this institution in such
false position is entirely unjusti6ed and un-
fair.
AS matter of fact, our attitude on the
subject of bank credit as it has been ex-
pressed is fundamentally in accord with
that OF the American Economic Association,
to which you refer as model, as defined
in the following paragraphs, quoted from
excerpts of the associations report printed
on the editorial page of to days Tribune:
Under ynany economic conditions, and par
ticuarly in times of panic, stress or rapid re-
adjustment expanding bank credit is often
needed to tide temporary difficulties and to
make transition easy At the present time we
are going through process of rapid readiust
ment, in which many industries are being
checked and shut down. and this cannot be car
red through efficiently if sand is thrown into the
oil
Some expansion of bank credit, therefore.
and even some rise in commodity prices must
be tolerated.
Hoping that you will find opportunity to
correct the inaccurate inference made in re-
gard to The position of this institution, I
am, yours very truly,

Jail the Jobless

1t is evident that the authorities of
New Jersey have no intention of consid-
ering the so-called anti-loafer act as a
joke. In Trenton young man with
fal' for existence without labor was ar
rested. A week was allowed to him in
which to find a job. At the end of that
period he was still jobless. The police
justice offered to extend the time an
other week, but the prisoner said he had
no desire to burden his life with labor.
Thereupon he was sentenced to three
months in the county workhouse.
There is good, sound doctrine beneath
all this; ard what is good across the
river and down in Maryland should be
equally good in New York. The recent
Legislature passed bill about the same
as the existing statute in New JERSEY.
aimed at the drones in the economic hive,
The ldler is detriment to the commu-
nifty at any time. But when the nation
is at war the man who gets his keep with
out production is menace There is no
unemployment problem now. ANY able
bodied man can get work. 1t is to be
hoped New York State will join the pro-
cesslon and make every man pull at least

New-York tribune., 1918-05-02

paper there was explicit denial of the
doctrine that the general level of prices
is determined by the relative volume of
currency or credit outstanding.
Replying to The Tribunes comments
upon thls--to US, defensible-postion,
Mr. Sisson made reply in which the de-
nial of that doctrine was reiterated.
In the fine paper from Mr.. Paul M.
Warburg which The Tribune published
on Tuesday the vice-governor of tho
Federal Reserve Board laid down the
dogma that there were only two ways to
finance the war--that is, by saving O.
by imitation through the expansion of
bank credits and currency. This is the
position of Professor Irving Fishers
committee of the American Economic
Association, from which Mr.. Sisson
quotes
1t is the position Of sound economists
and sound finance everywhere and
always
Few will deny that some degree of in
f1ation in war time is inevitable. What
sound finance pleads for is that this ex-
pansion or initiation be kept down to the
smallest possible amount.
Twenty billions of new credits, such as
MIR. Sabin pictured, would not attain
this end.
Moreover, whosoever sets up the old
Laughlinite denial that the general level
OF prices is determined by the volume of
existing currency or credit can have no
tear OF initiation, and therefore is quite
ready to support a four-billion dollar
note issue as proposed in the original
war finance corporation bill, and almost
any other scheme of. infationary finance
The country is strong and can easily
stand it," That is always the cry of the
fatist.
The beauty af the orthodox of the mod
ern theory of money and prices, clearly
stated by Smith and Mills, and more
definitely formulated by Newcomo,
Irving Fisher and others, and so ad-
mirably set forth by Mr.. Warburg in his
statement, is that it is explicit and sim
pie and free from any confusion or fog.
1t was excellent1y restated in the circular
OF the American Exchange National
Bank from which we quoted yesterday,
when it said:
"Whenever the currency and credit of
a country inflated, prices of COM
modities rise, and labor demands and
usually receives higher wages. The
dollar or other monetary unit will buy
less wheat cotton or labor. The more
money in circulation the less its buying
power is an economic rule that has gov
erned finance in all ages"
This could not be better said. 1t
seemed to us highly regrettable that an
institution of the power and influence of
the Guaranty Trust should seem to give
its countenance to a contrary doctrine,
full of most evil consequences, that we
made the reference to which it takes ex-
ception. AS Mr.. Warburg said so
clearly:
"Those of this latter school overlook
the fact that initiation at7,der all and ann
circumstances rs u per"nicious euil."

improvement on the gospel of calling sinners
to repentance!
Three years and nine months have passed since
the great war began, and year and quarter since
Germany forced into it. We have every reason
for pride in the gallantry of our little army abroad
and every reason for shame that it is so small and
that it has not a cannon arplane except those
obtained from hard-pressed France. The enormous

the late OF the and may therefore be of untcld

Will be lost because during the last year and quar-
Ter and the preceding two years and half we sig
nally and lamentaby failed to perform our duty.
The government is now really endeavoring to
send men the water as rapidly as possible It
IS now endeavoring to speed up the ship programme
1t is now endeavoring to hurry the airplane pro-
gramme. 1t is employing big men like Messrs Stet-
tlnlus, Schwab and Ryan, and apparently is giving
them power None of these things wese done until
Senator Chamberlains committee in the teeth of the
violent opposition OF the Administration forced some
efhclency and some speed into the work of war If
these obvious things and the other obvious things
like them had been energetica,lv beoun q wear and
a quarter ago, the American army in France would

present battle would have been won long ago. If we
had begun to prepare in August 1914 the war would
have been over long ago, and indeed we probably
would never have had actually to fight in it. and an
lnfnty OF bloodshed would certainly have been
saved. Verify, our own country and the world at
large have paid are paying and will pay. heavy
price Tor the milk split by the Administration: and
the heaviest blame rests those false leaders of
pubic thought who told the people not to crv over
the split milk, instead of telling them tocall the sim

was sincere and effective.

The Gospel of Split MIX
ENHE Gospel preached nineteen hundred
years ago "called sinners to repentance -
By Theodore Roosevelt

= ME Gospel preached nineteen hundred
years ago ''caed sinners to repentance"
The sinners who profited by it we're those
who repented. They did not jauntiy speak of their
sins as split milk They recognized themselves as
Sinners they recognized the need of repentance and
by their acts they showed the genuneness of their
repentance. Unless they met these three conditions
they regarded as hypocrtes (and hvpocrites
were not laughed at excused but scathingly de-
nounced). If the sinners announced that they were
proud of their sins took delight in them if they
excused themselves and denied their shortcomings,
they were not regarded having repented at all and
denied all fellowship with those who had seen
the light
And those who summoned the sinners to repent
did not tell them not to cry over split milk. On the
contrary, they told them with emphasis that they
had snned, that there need of repentance,
and that such sincere repentance for the past was
the surest way to strengthen their souls against
future repetition of their past misconduct.
The present day chatter against speaking the
necessary truth about past governmental mis-
conduct is apt to find expression in protest against
"crying over split milk" The benefciaries of the
chatter noisly announce that they feel pride and
delight in having spilled the milk in the past in
stead of bending their energies in repentant silence
to moppng it up in the present
For two years and half the world war ragged
and refused to prepare Germany trampled Bel
gum into bloody mire, but refused to prepare.
She sank the Lusitana and murdered our people
wholesale on the high seas, but we refused to pre-
pare. She dynamited our factories at home, but we
refused to prepare. Our government knew all about
her plots; our governmental authorities had full
knowledge of all she was doing, but they kept us
ignorant and neutral and refused to prepare Inert
timd absorbed in money getting dulled our souls
with sentimental rhetoric which under such condi-
tions was nauseous Our leaders refused to take
thought for the terrible tomorrow or to harden
single fibre of our giant but fabby strength. We
drifted into the sea of fatuous phrases and
fatuous refusas to act. And then for year we
waged the with rresolute feebleness. Mean
while the Administration, through Mr. Baker
through Mr.. Cree, through the President himself
have excused denied the shortcomings, have an
nounced that they regarded them with pride and
delight and have persevered in them until dragooned
out of them by hostile criticism. Yet with these
facts staring in the face there are still persons
who regard the gospel of mot crying ver split milk
