In making it's adjustment to

The European nations may be ex-

cay in announcing the formation

output from primary sources last
year was 2,362.0OO,OOO pounds, an
abnormally high figure. With such
prospects for a large overseas de-
mand, this industry at least has am
pie reason to feel optimistic regard
ing conditions in the first peace
year. The shipment of the metal to
Europe will also aid in the general
adjustment there by helping to
make it possible to absorb disbanded
troops into productive work

that many bankers, some of them
on the committee, favor a restora-

seen.
Regarding this banker in touch
with the situation said yesterday, in
response to an inquiry: "There is
no credit available for an undue
speculation in securities nor is there
likely to be for the next three or
four months. Money is temporarily
easier, it is true, but it may be ex-

Panama, Dec. 2l.-The plan

closer commercial union among the

his way to take his post in Wash

THE canal represents so many
advantages, economic and political"
said the ambassador, that any off,

route in every way possible. Al
.-auy Peru has obtained great ad-
vantages from the canal and she is
convinced that these will grow

by looking at the geographical
situation of Peru it is easy. to see
that the canal affords a direct route
for her TO the eastern United States

analyze in detail the advantages
