German Redness

What happened in Russia, in the
dramatic phrase of Georg Brandes, was
that on being delivered from Czarism the
proletariat snatched the executioners

Will that happen in Germany?
Nobody knows. The power of proph-
ecy is bankrupt in the world. Anything
may happen anywhere. And yet, just as
one learns in everyday life to accept APP
pearances Professionally, SO one will dis
trust the parallelsm between Russia and
Germany. 1t may be real. 1t may be
that the Germans, with their genius for
complete and elaborate detail in place of
originality, will show us something
frightfully efficient in the way of Boil
shevism. But the. possibility seems too
theatrical and Obvious
We are obliged at least, to consider
the dissimilarities. 1t is very easy to be
deceived by names. Bolshevism in Ger.
many may be, like Bolshevism in Russia,
not in fact but in spelling. Our own
preference is to believe this to be the
case, and the basis for that opinion is
the common knowledge of the differences
between Russia and Germany. These are
differences both of degree and of kind.
The German people are, in the first
place, much more political than the Rus
sian people. Secondly, they are more
industrial. Thirdly, they have a much
larger equipment Of rational knowledge
and economic experience.
If these facts have any meaning what
ever it follows that the German people,
as a whole, have much greater capacity
for self-government than the Russian
people and know their economics too we'll

the goose to get the eggs.
One cannot imagine it--unless, Of
course. there is, indeed, fate that de-
crees poetic justice. In that case Ger
many may have been made mad for the
high purpose Of self destruction Bar

cline to think that Bolshevism in Ger

Mr.. Wilson in England

That part of America which has re-
served its approval of Mr. Wilson's gen.
eral venture overseas can feel only UNI
affected delight at the cordial good feel
ing distinguishing Mr.. Wilson'S visits to
England and to France. Such happy
ltterance as that at the Mansion House,
vith the surrounding atmosphere of
Goodwill and warm human fellowship,
,halhs d large mark on the credit side of
Mn. Wilson's trip.
1t was Nh Wilson's deft achievement
20 portray accurately very general con-
ception of his own personality and then
contradict it by the very words of his
dtterance. No perfectly bloodless think
ing machine" could have spoken the can
did, intimate sentences in which he pict-
ured his Scotch tradition controlling
What he termed the "insurgent clements"
of his blood. Plainly the atmosphere Of
the Mansion House appealed to those FIN
aurgent elements and the Covenanter
looked the other way for the hour. Ger
tainly Mr. Wilson never made a more
delicious speech.
We think it important to stress the less
formal speech of the Mansion House as
opposed to the Guldhall deliverance for
the very reason that Mr.. Wilson put so
we'll in his Lamb anecdote. The greatest
achievement of the war, the one that will
count most toward a lasting peace, in our
conception, is the intimate knowledge
which I'renchmen and Englishmen and
Americans have, by the million, gained of
one another. Machinery is necessary to
carry this international understanding
into action. But without this new friend
ship and tirst-hand knowledge no machin-
cry would be worth the paper it was de
signed on. A league of nations would be
but another Hague treaty.
Therefore we think the utmost value re-
sides in every intimate personal contact
between Mr.. Wilson and the peoples of
CUT natural allies. The gain is mutual.
After complete acquaintance serious dis
agreement can be only remotely possible
1t is not only a pleasure but source of
profound gratitude to Americans that our
country is represented before the English
people in Mr. Wilson's delightful and
cordial utterances. Upon such founda-
tion of liking and friendship anything
may succeed, even a league of nations.

We are near the crest Of the wave Of
worldwide imitation. We may expect to
see the beg ming of gradual contraction
of note issues and defation of prices and
wages, and return to more normal con-
dltions OF production and consumption. AS
far as the banking situation is concerned,
defation >will have to be brought about
primarily by the peoples efforts to save
and by a contraction of loans following the
shrinkage of prices of goods and reduction
of the volume Of inventories.
In thinking of financial reconstruction
and of the financial world of the future,
do not too many among US have this one
thought uppermost in minds--Is the
United States hereafter going to be the
leading financial country? In other words,
are we going to take Englands place as the
foremost financial power? Do not these
men forget that if England were to sur
render her entire trade and banking to US,
we should collapse, and that if we were
to unload all our business on her she would
break down under the burden?
The whole truth of the matter is that we
have both grown to be pillars supporting
the same structure and that neither can
fall or become weakened without bringing
danger or disaster on the other England,
herself the owner of billions of foreign
obligations, will remain the banking centre
of Europe. world clearing house for goods
and credits. : believe that her banks and
ours vii. be found in close cooperation,

credits and relieving each other as the

Portugal Not a Neutral
o the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: That great majority of the Ameri-
can people should still be ignorant of the
fact that Portugal has been an ally of ours
III the struggle for liberty might be toler-
ated, but that so important and distin-
guished newspaper as "The Journal Of
Commerce. should tell its readers that
Portugal, like Spain, Sweden, etc, has been
neutral country, is at the best an insult
to the American intelligence.
Therefore, Mr.. Editor, for the sake Of
American intelligence, if not for anything
else, be kind enough to tell your read
ers that the guns of little Portugal were

Hard-Mouthed and Soft-Mouthed

There is no more delectable occupation
than that of classifying humans. 1t even
has its uses, but that is another question.
We speak now Of the indoor sport And
as contribution to that sport we have
seen nothing as entertaining and illumi-
mating as a piece on biological Dichoto-
mics" in "The New Statesman" 1t is by
a Scot Professor j. Arthur Thomson,
one of the few real scientists deigning to
write for laymen and possessing both
sense of humor and literary skill.
What is this jaw-breaking "dichot-
omy"? Merely bifurcation, forking,
as between the sexes, for instance For
the first illustration Professor Thomson
writes Of that fundamental separation
into the peaceful and the predatory the
savers and the spenders, which estab-
lshed the deep cleavage between plants
and animals and then pursued it's course
as follows
Now, all through the evolution of ami
mails, discern the same forking of
the ways; it in the contrast be-
tween a sluggish sporozoon, such as the
malaria parasite and intensely active
infusoran, such as the luminescent noe
tluca of all the seven seas; between the
sedentary coras in their thick walled
castles of Incidence and the free-swim-
ming, aggressive Portuguese men-o'-war;
between the fixed barnacle and the frolic-
some shrimp, the limpet and the sea-but-
terfy, the ascdian and the sap, the tor
tose and the eagle, the ground sloth and
the aerial bat. Of course all sorts of
secondary adaptations have been in each
case super-added, but to begin with there
has been, as it we're, a choice between
two possible modes of life: the relatively
anabolc and the relatively katabolc, the
moro conservative and the more advent
urous, the saving and the spending habit
The frolicsome, katabolic shrimps of
our acquaintance may not care for this
mirror held up to their character But
it is the blessing of biology that it plays
no favorites. If you do not care for the
adjectives pinned on yourself, you are al
ways free to hunt up the description of
your antithesis and enemy. Professor
Thomsons next dichotomy gives a dis
tinctly better show to the katabolists.
Who would not rather be an octopus
than d sea-cucumber! Of all the classes
at Professor Thomson's tongues end we
like this best:
Corresponding to the dichotomy be-
tween plants and animals, there is among
animals, as regards diet an analogous
contrast between the soft -mouthed and
the hard-mouthed, the tender and the
tough The softmouthed animals feed.

The Need of Investment Trusts"
BY Paul NJ. Warburg

an investment field wide enough to fill our
needs.
In these circumstances, it occdrred to me
some time ago that by converting the War
Finance Corporation into a Peace Finance
Corporation and authorizing it to acquire
directly make advances on foreign Sc
curities, might create an instrument
that would promote our foreign trade and
at the same time greatly assist foreign ma
tions in need of our support during a pc
Rod of political and economic transition
For the sake of both our domestic and
our foreign problems, I believe a plan Of
this kind is deserving of our most care
full consideration, even though l am reluc-
tant to suggest it because of my strong
belief that at this time we should remove
rather than construct war emergency ma
chlnery that draws government into bust
ness and on account of other serious and
valid objections which at once occur to US.
believe we cannot emphasize too strong
ly that the time has not yet come when
our people, large or small, may relax their
efforts to curtail unnecessary consumption,
both for the sake of releasing for export
the greatest possible quantities Of goods,
thereby stimulating our export industries,
and for the purpose of accommodating funds
available for investment. The slogan, Don't
stop saving food!" would gain in scope and
strength by abbreviating it into, Don't
stop saving!'
Our more than twenty one million Lib
erty bond holders must be trained to be-
come permanent investors; thrift must be-
come a national virtue, priceless inheri-
lance left to US by the war. 1t is most
important that coming Victory Loan
be absorbed, far as possible, not by bank
borrowings but by genuine savings.

a S LOOK through the telescope INTO
~ the period following that Of transl-
ton to peace, | see United States
to which the world at large will be heavily
Indebted, and to which annually hundreds
of millions of dollars will be due as in
terest on loans extended, in addition to the
hundreds Of millions due in payment of the
raw materials we shall be able to spare
for other countries. | see an ndustrIally
highly developed country which, with the
exception of limited number of articles,
will be capable of producing most of the
necessaries of life for the consumption OF
its own people.
perceive, therefore, a country amply
protected by vast annual international
credit balance, a country which, by keeping
some portion of it's foreign security hold
ings in the form of reasonably short obll-
cations, should be able to protect itself
against any serious cncroachment upon this
creditor position; a country owning a huge
gold stock; a country, in short, which need
not give itself any great concern with re-
gard to maintaining the parity OF the dol
lar exchange all over the world.

l much misread the future if it does not
have in store for New York the position
of world exchange centre, vying with
London as free gold and discount market.
AS | see it, our future economic position
will be of such strength that it will be
difficult for many countries to keep their
exchanges at par with u.s. They are not
likely to have sufficient quantities of the
goods required by us, nor will they have
large amounts of gold to spare, and there
fore, in payment of the things we sell
them and of the interest they will have to
pay us, they will have to try to find some
thing else than goods that we may purchase
from them; that is, they will offer us the
individual or collective obligations of their
national their industrial enterprises,
or such securities or assets Of other coun-
tries as they control.
If we want these countries TO continue
to be able to buy our goods it is ncum-
bent upon us TO prepare ourselves TO
grant these foreign credits and to buy and
assimilate these foreign assets. can we'll
foresee the time when American dollar
ceptances will be outstanding to the extent
Of more than one billion dollars in credits
granted all over the globe.
The vast permanent Indebtedness to us,
which we expect to see accommodating from
wear to year. must be offset not by temper
airy credits, but by an outright transfer to
us of foreign assets. This may be brought
about essentially in four ways:
|. The debtor country may sell to our
government its own government oblga-
tons (our government in turn financing
itself by the sale Of. United States gov
eminent bonds substantially in the same
manner as adopted in financing our allies
during the war;.
Or

(b) Industrial stocks or bonds orig-
mating within its own boundaries, or
(c) Stocks or bonds owned by i bu.
issued in other foreign countries
The first meth - ss ~ot likely to be en-
ployed extensively beyond the beginning of
the transition period The other three meth
DDS are the ones for which we must prepare.
In order TO bring about ir the United
States the successful absorption or large
scale of foreign securities !. IS necessary
that our investing public be educated prop
erly to appreciate these foreign invest
mcnts. That will only be possible as our
