TAKE NO SIDE

London.-The official British attitude
toward the controversy over the pro
posed Lincoln statue in London in
tended to commemorate 100 years Of
peace between Great Britain and the
United States, is that they are ready
to accept anything that the American
c9mmittee agrees upon. Sir Alfred

tional activity, wants this clearly
understood, and in q memorandum
given to The Associated Press he SAYS:
Some American comments on the
statue controversy have represented
me as taking sides in the matter. I
have been very careful not to imply
any veto Of q replica Of either the
Bernard or the St. Gaudens statue. I
have, however. pointed out what I think
is perfectly true, that work specially
designed for the site, q work Of an
original character. would probably be
the most satisfactory solution. Every
sculptor will. I think, agree with this
view.
1T is a question for the American
donors to decide whether the delay
involved In the presentation Of an
original work and the uncertainty as
to low Tar q new work would be as
satisfactory as q replica OF an existing

United States Now Is the
World's Largest Exporter
From National City Bank, Of New York, Bulletin.


The United States has suddenly become the worlds largest
exporter of manufactures. Prior to the war we held third place
among the nations of the world as a exporter of manufactures, being
clearly .outranked in this line by Great Britain and Germany. With
the opening of the war, however, and the suspension of Germany's
export trade, we took rank next to Great Britain as an exporter of
manufactures, and with the enormous foreign demand upon our
factories we have now passed Great Britain in the race, and stand at
the head of the list Of nations exporting manufactures.
The worlds expectations of manufactures in 1913, the latest
normal year in international trade were, according to the banks
compilation, stated in very round figures, Great Britain %$20000oo,
600 of domestic manufactures exported; Germany s. ,675,OOO000;
United States 81 ,099 100000; France, $%775,000000; Belgium, approx
mnately $%4oooooooo Austria Hungary, 1872 $1,000; Italy, $$275ooo
ss%2oooooooo; India, $l25 100000; Sweden, $a1oooooo0oo; Canada,
~$77O0O,O0O; Russia, $70,O000OO, and Spain, ~$50OOO,OO, all of these
figures being in very round terms. Thus the grand total of manufac-
lures entering international trade in the year before the war, was
was about $8,00000OO00 of which the United States supplied about
oneeghth, or in round terms 81 ,%OOOO00,000.
The chief countries which show a marked increase in expectation
of manufactures during the wal are the United States, Canada and
Japan. In the case of the United States the increase has been
especially in material for the battlefield and the use Of the allied
troops, but there has also been a large increase in exports of ou1
manufactures to the neutral world, Latin America, Asia, Oceania,
Africa and certain countries of Europe.
The United States export record in 1917 reached on manufac,
tEred articles to So, 019O00,000-half of all the world manufactures

Secretary McAdoo and
Taxahon--New Proposals

Financial Review.
reasonable profits. The problem of
craftsmanship is to establish a Just
Ieiatlon between necessary taxation
ana the earning power of the nation.
Encourages the Enterprise of Capital.
Mr.. McAdoo's argument for a flat
rate on all war profits similar to that
IN Great Britain, he supports by citing
the lmpossibility OF the government de-
partments, under great pressure, to ge.
necessary war materials and supplies
with the utmost expedition, getting
them at the lowest figure by price fix
ing. His remedy, as noted above, is to
tax away the excess profits after they
have been realized. y
Unless capital is protected against
risks of loss in unusual undertakings or
induced to AXE them by possibility of
large profits, it seeks other channels.
The question of what are reasonable
profits In these wal times when living
and other expenses have doubled,
should receive liberal consideration.
A Sagacious Proposal.
The secretary proposes a skillful
program to enhance the quotation for
Liberty bonds and thus make easier the
placing of them in the future, but with
out advancing the rate of interest be-
You'd AZ per cent. This is to be effected
by exempting income derived from Lib
erty bonds from the substantial in
crease in the normal income tax rate
and the higher tax levied upon un-
earned incomes. This, he says, would
not tax the patriotic purchasers of
Liberty bonds on their holdings, but
would weigh heavily upon the shirkers
who have not bought them. 1t would
make the return from Liberty bonds
comparative favorably with the return
from other securities. 1t would pro-
duce a gradual readjustment of the
situation in the investment markets.,
instead of an abrupt one, which would
be the case If the interest rate on
Liberty bonds should be increased.
The advancing price in all issues of
Liberty bonds following tbs ~secretary's
statement indicates a belief that his
suggestions will be adopted as far as
this exemption is concerned.

From the Bache


OF the problems requiring solution
and affecting most Importantly the
ultimate value of securities as based on
earnings, the problem of new taxation
is the most prominent.
Secretary McAdoo has made a clear,
clean cut statement which exposes the
futility and the obliquity of the pres
ent law.
He does not believe sufficient econ
omies are enforced upon he people OF
America by the amount of the present
tax levy, and without such economies
he sees no way in which the great
financial operations. of the government
can be safely conducted.
Reform the Present Law.
A s%ingularly forceful Indictment of
the present method of taxation is that in
which he says that the tax rate cannot
safely be made high enough under that
law, because the test now is not how
much of the profits are due to the war,
but what relation the profits bear to
the capital invested. A company
with a swollen capital and huge war
profits escapes
Thus the existing excess profits tax
does not always reach war profits. He
says:
The one sure way is to tax away he
excessive profits when they have been
realized. 1 do not say this in a spirit
of criticism of the corporations or
business men Of the country, who have
for the most part Loyalty supported the
government. In entering into war
contracts they take grave risks. They
are called upon to make vast eXpendi-
lures of capital for purposes which
may prove ~unproductive after the war.
They are not to be blamed in these
circumstances for asking for prices
and terms which cover these risks.
On the other hand, when tfe- risk
has been %liquidated by proper allow
anoes n the contract has proved
profitable, the government should take
back in taxes all profits above a
reasonable reward.
OF course, no one objects to reason
able profits; on the contrary, everyone
should want and I am sure does want
enterprise to be rewarded with reason
able or even liberal profits. Prosperity
should be preserved and can be pre-
