from the rest of the world.
World conquest or downfall is tho
German motto. Germany has burned
her bridges behind her, and when the
time comes must pay the penalty. Ii
We are SO lacking in moral fibre and

easy-going people who are incapable CT

dcrer and his victims; if we listen tn
the specious arguments of the intelli
gentsia; if we are swayed by the in

might diminish their financial gain
if, in word. we do not adhere dis
passonately and firmly to clear
policy of restraining Germany ability
to again go to war we are betraying
the millions who will then have died
III vain.
Unless Germany is put out of her
national business of waging wars OF
aggression once and for all, she will
come back with surprising speed and
energy, with the support of the mass
of her people fanatically devoted to
the fatherland and with her best brains
enlisted in developing the art of war
so that twenty years from now the
same horror will again spread over the
world. No deathbed repentance or
promise OF good behavior can restore
Germany to the good opinion of the
world. By her own express statement
her treaties are scrap Of paper. Long
years of right thinking and right liv
ing, accompanied by clear evidence Of
capacity and viii to carry out demo
cratic self government, must precede
any admission to league of nations
Sir Robert Borden says: at is the
duty of the Allied nations to purge
Germany of her madness by unsparing
use Of economic pressure until she has
gwen convincing manifestation of sani-
ty and clean spirit. Let no selfish
purpose or divergence of interest i'm
pede united action to this end. An as
sassin state must be barred from the
society of decent commonwealths until
they are convinced of its sincere re
rentance."

ment is that by thus Furnishing Ger
many we punish ourselves. in that the

economic history proves, some nations

not want to lose a good customer, but
The answer is that there are boundless
opportunities for trade between the
nations of the world with the Central
Powers omitted, and the Allies as 8

up Germany.

Cotton

The cotton market just about recov-
cred the late losses of Friday during
yesterdays trading. The nervousness
which had been noted toward the close
OF the previous day over the attitude
OF bankers with reference to the use
OF funds in speculative or essential
enterprises seemed to have almost en-
tlrely subsded There was covering in
consequence, while buyers found en-
couragemant in the continued absence
OF Southern hedging and reports that

ests mad been buyers of contracts
around the ring. October sold up to
34.7O, or 83 points above FRIDAYS close.
and closed at 34.68, with the general
list losing 'at net advance Of 40 to
Ga points.
trading was comparatively quiet DUR
ing the entire morning. The bulk of
the advance was established at the
opening, which was 43 to 60 points
higher, with active months selling So
to 63 points above Fridays closing fig
ures right after the call Reports of
low emperatures in the Southwest and
tne favorable war news probably pro-
noted the demand, but the advance met
scattered realizing. This caused reac-
,iohs OF some ~ or 40 points from the
best, but otherwise pressure was light
and the market tirmed up again in the
late trading.
There was comment around the ring
to the effect that the Jewish New Year
came very early this season. which
many think the forerunner of an early
frost. The appearance of the lower
temperatures in the Southwest natural
iy encouraged talk of this sort, but 1t
is too early in the season for actual
apprehenslons, and the forecast was for
warmer weather. The present low tenn
peratures, however, are considered un-
favorable for the development of any
fresh growth promoted by recent rains.
weekend crop reviews said that
crops in Oklahoma and Arkansas had
been benefited by recent rains, but were
less optimistic as to Texas, although
one authority summarized the situation
10 the effect that the worst had prob

Cereals

Whcat-Thc food administration is
exerting every effort to speed up the
export movement of wheat, and on
Saturday issued notice that in the
future the Grain Corporation will not
make purchases on the frec-o on board
basis, but will take warehouse receipts
on grain elevator. This was due to
the fact that serious delays have been
caused Of late in loading grain on
steamers by numerous sellers, and it
Is the policy of the administration to
eliminate any cause of delay. In this
connection shipments of grain are be
ing given preference over exports of
flour, although the food administration
is maklng weekly purchases of -four
and receives bids up until noon on
each Tuesday of the week.
Some authorities are Of the opinion
that more -four should be shipped in
order to increase the production Of mill
feed, as the feeding situation at the
present time is acute and supplies arc
apparently inadequate to fill the de-
mand.
Corn-The corn market on Saturday
developed downward tendency under
increased selling pressure due to the
rev ruling by the food administration,
which will close the brewing industry
on December /. A large amount Of
barley is used every year in the manu-
facture Of beer, and this will now
come IN competition with corn, and has
recently been selling at cons iderab @
discount under cash corn in the West.
Moreover. brewers also use a large
amount of corn meal, and in the flu
ture this Will have to find another out
let.
Cash markets were also lower, and
there were predictions OF an increase
in the movement owing to the fact
that shelters are again in operation
after having been interrupted by the
recent rains. There was feeling of
uneasness over the probable showing
by the government report on Monday.

to cover on this account. A compari-

Deprive Enemy Of
Merchant Marine

IS there any wrong III asking that the
Central Powers labor hard, perhaps for
fifty years, in order to earn money
enough to pay back to the Allies the
cost of defeating and controlling them ?
In addition to their earning power, these
nations have transferable assets which
can be readily turned over to the Allies
ana credited on account of their ex-
penditures. Since Germany's teeth
must be drawn, she cannot be permitted
to keep war navy. Germany's war
navy must be turned over to the Allies.
either to be divided up or to serve as
an international police force under the
control of q league of Allied nations. Of
which Germany must not be permitted
to be member. If the German navv
issues forth IN strength for a final sea
battle this item may not have much
value.
GerTany's merchant marine must be
entirely taken away to replace the ships
despicably sunk by the German sub
marines. Ship for ship and ton for ton,
every sinking by Il German submarine
must be accounted for. These German
ships are largely private property. but
they must be commandeered and the
responsibility placed upon Germany to
reimburse their owners. The German
government owns stock of gold which
amounted in December, 1917, to 2,4OO.-
00O,OOO marks; also silver and precious
stones, which support its tottering
credit and keep the mark from disan-
pearing entirely. This property of the
nation must be taken over by the Allies
and credited on account of their ex
pendltures. Germany will then be
openly, as she is now eoncealedly. on q
paper basis.
1t has recently been stated that the
coal, potash and iron mines of Ger
many were worth, conservatively esti-
mated, many hundred billions of dol
lars. The mines of Alsace- Lorraine are
TO be handed back to France, and must.
OF course, be excepted from this item
but handsome royalties can be earned
annually from the remaining mines
which are owned by Germany and
worked on leases. Another asset owned
by Germany consists of her national
railroads, whose earnings can be sim,-
iarly applied. Under established rulas
OF international law colonies are NOT
transferable assets, but it would he
fair for the Allies to credit to Germany
her expenditures in the German COL
onles for non-military public work
Doubtless there are many other assets
which can be taken to support an issue
OF bonds to be made by Germany, Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Turkey and divided
among the Allies in proportion to their
expenditures.
The first argument will be that fro
amount is too large, that it cannot ha
repaid. This is not true. as we hav,
seen, because of the vast transferable
assets of the Central Powers, their
enormous mineral wealth and their an

No Trading With
Central Powers

The final argument and the leading
contribution Of pacfism to pan-Ger
mansm is that unless we are generous
in our terms of settlement we viii stir
up hatred in Germany for years to
come. The shoe is on the other foot.
The whole world hates Germany for
her Wholesale crimes with a loathing
that can not and should not pass away
as long as this generation lives A
high court of Judges does not and
should not consider the opinions Of
the murderer on trial before them.
The Allies may we'll be Indifferent 10
Germany's views on this or any other
subject. Germany is but q red handed
criminal, condemned on four years OF
proof before the bar of justice, and it
remains only to decide what reparation
she must make and what restraints
she must be put under to keep the
peece in future.
The Germans will whine that a re-
pressive policy will keep them poor
for fifty years. Assume it to be So
While Germany is poor, kept out of
the richest markets of the world bv the
economic boycott of the Allies, pre-
vented from having raw materials from
the Allies, and held down to earning
and paying interest and sinking fund
on its actual debt to the Allies. Ger
many cannot again go to war, because
she viii lack the econom.c C power. such
policy is one of wise statesmanship,
and firmly administered will insure the
reace of the world for many decades
to come.
Timd folk will say if such terms
are dictated to Germany the Germans
will fight to finish, and hence pro
long the war. Any terms offered 20

tated by Germany and to bring up their
own countries to pre-war economic eff

terials mean fighting power to Ger.
many.
Foe Must Pay War
Costs Of Allies
The next step, following out the
policy of limiting Germany's power as
a necessary means of self-defence, is
to require the Central Powers to pay
the Allied nations their expenditures
incurred in the war. The amount may
reach $100,000,00 1000 to $150,00O ,OO0,-
600. Germany, Austria Hungary, Bull
garia and Turkey include about 175,-
100000 people, thrifty and hard
working population, and if given time
they can repay to the Allies what it
has cost them to defend themselves
DR.. Halfferich estimates Germany's
annual savings for investment at
4500, 100000 marks, to which can be
added the savings of Austria Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey.
The preliminary step would be the
reputation of all the government debts
Of Corn,on, tr, D,,J
Turkey issued for the prosecution of
the war. whether held internally or ex-
ternally. 1t would not appear fair to
force the Central Powers to cancel
their bonds issued in previous years for
legitimate purposes, but it is fair that
all the people who subscribed for war
bonds, whether Germans or German
sympathizers in America or elsewhere,
and knew that the money was to be
used for this indefensible war Of ag-
grcssion should not have that money
returned. Germany has issued during
the war bonds and currency amounting
to about $4,000, 100000. This enor-
nous sum was eagerly given up by its
own people because they expected to
have it repaid out of robbing the rest
of mankind. In business parlance, Ger
MANY drew draft on civilization which
has been returned dishonored.
1t is quite clear and is openly stated
by the Germans that if they win the
Allies will have to pay all Germany's
costs in the war. Similarly, when we
win we would be weaklngs if we do
not compel Germany to pay our costs
of the war. Shall we permit the Ger
mans from the earnings Of future years
to pay off to her own people the money
they advanced to carry on this war of
murder and loot and at the same time
saddle future generations of Ameri-
cans, Britishers, Frenchmen and Ital-
ians with the heavy burden of the enor-
nous bond issues rendered necessary to
enable all their countries to defend
themselves. Such proposition has only
to be stated to be rejected. AS for the
money realized in America from the
sale of German war bonds here, that
as we all know, was used to blow
up our factories, place bombs on steam
ers, murder innocent people and under
mine the national conscience with as
tute propaganda. 1t would be a moral
wrong to allow one penny of it to be
repaid.
