Easy Money in Norway

"A current dispatch tells of the calcu-
lations Of a Swedish statistician that
Norway is now, save Austria, the most
expensive country in the world to live
in. But this is doubtless leaving starv-
ing Russia out of the count CORE
spondent tells of paying $3.50 per day
for modest hotel room and $2.75 for
package of cigarettes. Up-country
wood choppers are earning as much as
$50 week, flower women, bootblacks
and bellboys are specializing heavily in
stocks and making fabulous sums. The
young bloods use thousand-crown notes
as ash trays or to light their cigars with
Whiskey is contraband, but sells readily
at $o5 bottle. Boozers take note.
1t is reckoned that the purchasing
power of the crown (26 cents normal)
has fallen to less than one-third this
Attempts made to fix prices have COM
pletely failed even in this sharply isolat-
ed country, with a population little larger
than that Of New Jersey. Yet Norway
is not in the war; it has had no vast
war buying; it has had no huge issue
OF paper money. Why should such
wild imitation of prices occur?
The answer is identically the same as
for the huge rise in prices in the United
States from 1915 to 1917-a deluge of
gold. Norway, Sweden, Denmark have
been selling their surplus Of food and
goods to the warning nations, and of
necessity big inpour of gold ensues.
Bank credits expand, wild "boom" sets
in, and prices soar. The whole country
goes on spree.
We once spoke of the war as a won
derful laboratory experiment in econom-
les 1t is for all the world like the test
tubes Of the chemist In each nation.
acting exactly like a test tube, so much
gold or paper or new bank credit has
been introduced, and in each nation the
reaction has been precisely what could
have been predicted beforetime. It has
exactly answered the mathematical eoua
ton worked out by Simon Newcomb
thlrty-three years ago. For almost y
generation Newcombs work was ignored
by our economists. To-day it is the
cornerstone of orthodox economic teach
ing. What the war did was to take the
theory from academic halls and show
its value and use in everyday affairs.
There is no longer an economist of
standing to question its validity. In an
other generation, perhaps in this, even
the housewife, some Senators and the
editors of some papers will learn to know
that too much money spells high prices.

Tender-Hearted MIR. Hale

DR.. William Bayard Hale as a plain
paid German propagandist we have been
able to stomach after a fashion. Press
agents must live, we suppose. But yes
terday, when Mr.. Hale struck a noble
pose and registered righteous indigna-
tion and boasted of his job as labor of
common humanity" for "the under
dog" our stomach quit
1t was the Lusitania speech of DR..
Dernburg, handled and edited by DR..
Hale, that was up, defence Of the cow
.ardly assassination of American men,
women and children, murdered under
conditions of unspeakable cruelty and
horror. And DR.. Hale Dragged of his
labors in disseminating German words
praising such acts. II glory in the
patriotic work then performed" he de-
clared.
We can think of only one spectacle of
greater effrontery, and that is the Kai-
ser weeping over poor, dear France and
bewailing the deaths of other Germans
sons on the battlefield That distinctly
goes DR.. Hale one better. But, consider
ing that Dr. Hale's patriotic propaganda
for the under dog failed and that he was
rudely separated from his seat at the
feet of Kultur, we think he has done
we'll, very well indeed. Next time, with
luck, he may succeed in being as impu-
dent as his master.

In announcing its sale The Epenino
Poet refers to the new owner as
Thomas w. Lamont, Of ]. P. Morgan g.
CO. Mr.. Lamont is of many things be-
sides great banking firm. He was for
merly of The Tribune, we are glad to
say; his career began in this office. But
he will not be of The Eveming Post. He
places his stock in the hands of three
trustees, namely, Theodore N. Vail,
Henry S. Pritchets and Ellery Sedgwick.

OF course. not be responsible for the
opinions which The Evenino Post ex-
presses, nor for its daily management"

phasize the Independent character" of

New-York tribune., 1918-08-02

The Russian disease seems now to be
swiftly approaching the crisis. The sinis-
ter Bolshevik autocracy has caused to
be adopted resolution calling for the
exercise of "mass terror" against the
bowgeoisae-namely, the middle classes,
those of little and tangible property,
shopkeepers, etc. They are easily de-
spoiled. Great wealth, which is i'm
ponderable, has escaped in manner
mysterious and battling to the Bolshe
vlst. The property of the bourgeoisie is
visible, and, therefore, both an insult
and a temptation. Besides, the Bolshe-
vlsts are hungry. There shall be "mass
expeditions" for bread. The conditions
under which people acquire mass wisdom
and collective restraint are almost too
terrible. 1t is what we pay for democ-
racy that makes it so precious.
New-York tribune., 1918-08-02

will never be "fettered." We congratu-
late The Evening Post, then the editors,
then the trustees, and lastly the new
owner. His only Office is to provide the
money. AS the actual owner, it is quite
conceivable that he will be the last per-
son in the world to have any influence
whatever with she paper. We mean it
literally and we think it absurd that
such concessions require to be made to
the Wall Street prejudice Of people at
large and to the tradition that wisdom,
probity and social virtue uniquely in
here in the title and function of editor.
There is ironical humor in the solemn
assurance that, although the paper has
been bought by banker, it will con-
tinue to be independent and that it's edi-
tors will be free. We do not know why
the owner of paper should not have
opinions, nor why his opinions should be
so open to suspicion that they must be
barred from the premises beforehand,
even though he is Thomas W. Lamont,
of j. P. Morgan & Co." We should like
to think of The Evening Post as Thomas
W. Lamont's paper. But he will not let
US; and that is his business. After all,
to own newspaper and have nothing to
90 with it is very high achievement in
personal expression.
New-York tribune., 1918-08-02
Surrender!

On this side of Armageddon there are
only two kinds of people by the first base
line of division-namely, those who
would still, after all that has happened,
take Germany's word, and those who
would not. Those who would are pacl-
fists; they support, so far as they dare,
every German peace drive and echo the
enemy's demand for restatement of
war aims.
The others are everywhere increasing.
In this country they hold with President
Wilson that the settlement must be final
and that there is but one issue, one aim,
which is
"The destruction of every arbitrary
power anywhere that can separately,
secretly and Of it's own single choice
disturb the peace of the world or, if
it cannot be presently destroyed, at
the least it's reduction to virtual impo-
tence."
In Great Britain they hold with Bal
four, who says European statesmen
shall not forget that German promise
is worthless and that the peace of the
world would be frail and insecure indeed
if it rested upon nothing more solid than
a solemn compact with Germany.
Paciists continue, nevertheless, to in
sist that the Allies war aims are indefi-
mite. That is because they cannot recon-
cile themselves to the first term Of VIC
tory, which is the physical defeat of
Germany. And by strange and in
variable coincidence the anxiety of paci-
fists about war aims rises very rapidly
just prior to each successive German
peace drive.
On Wednesday Lord Lansdowne, the
most distinguished, perhaps, therefore,
the most dangerous, British pacifst,
called his followers together and read
them a composition on the folly of re-
jecting Germany's peace overtures or
treating them with disrespect. He re-
ferred to President Wilson's Mount Yer
non declaration as "a picture drawn by
great master of the golden age to
which we are hidden to look forward"
but worthless practically, in that it pro-
vided no preliminary ground for peace
negotiations.
On Thursday Bethmann- Hollweg, the
former Imperial German Chancellor,
and Herr Won Kuhlmann, the recent I'M
perial Foreign Minister, who suffered
the farce of being fed to the Junkers for
saying the war could not be ended by
military decision alone-these two are
reported to be in Holland on a peace
errand. So do the gestures of the enemy
synchronize with those Of the pacifsts.
Well may they be in haste Paciism
is expiring. Much Of its sickly vitality
was derived from the fixed idea that
Germany could not be utterly defeated.
She can be. She will be. The fiction of
her invincibility is destroyed And there
is now crystallizing swiftly all through
the non-Teutonic world the thought that
Germany shall pay the full price for
having plunged civilization into war
She shall surrender to civilization She
shall surrender unconditionaly--or per-
ish. She would have demanded that civ
ilization surrender to Kultur. Now this
shall be demanded Of her. And, as Lloyd
George says, with confidence enormously
augmented the longer she fights the
costlier will be her surrender That ia

Where death waits on glory's deed,
Go we, Marines.
Settings we have never been,
Sparing to smite;
Now we are, so just our cause,
Devils in fight!
Were she but petty state,
With no proud past,
Bravely we would fight for her,
Spend to the last:
But great winds are in our blood
Prairie and sea;
Here, too, died our mighty sires
To make men free!
Were she trply in the wrong,
Our own dear land,
We would deal out stoutest blows
At her command:
But Liberty, we drain
AS from a cup;
With the old high dreams our hearts
Are lifted upl
With an inner ache for home,
Left far behind,
Proud we bear the dearest hope

ARMIST7CE AND A

The month which closed yesterday has been one Of
the most significant in the annals Of modern history. for
it has presented the phenomenon of European nations
coming all the way to Washington to make pleas or to
get advice. Time was when It was the custom in Europe
to denote diplomats by assigning them to the United
States capital-if for one reason or another they had
made themselves personae- non grata in one OF. the i'm
portant countries to which they had been accredited.
N That time is past. Not only are the ablest statesmen
in Europe sent to Washington to represent their respect
i've governments. but it has come to pass that Washing
ton has practically become the center of the worlds dip
lomatic events-neverm more 80, however, than during the
month Of October, 1918.
During the past month the word, "Armistfce," has
suddenly assumed = commanding place in human
thoughts and In the, days news and on one side the wish
for peace has been breathed fervently and vociferously
forth while on the other the term unconditional sutren-
der has developed into a striking and dignified slogan
of the age.
Judging from the present view Of things, both ar
ntstice and unconditional surrender win become accom-
plished facts in due time, and when the terms to be i'm
posed by the vtctors have been enforced upon the Justly
vanquished, peace will be established and guaranteed.
But there, will follow = period of readjustnnent, OF
reconstruction. and It 10 well to consider in advance that
no relaxation Of nerves col take place during that period
without injury to the worlds cause. Even morA than
during the period Of war It will be necessary during the
