world.
What will be the result of the worlds running into our debt in a
single year by over SO, O000 100000, approaching the worlds debt to us
before the war? We know the result has been that the world sent us
gold in such a flood as the world never witnessed before. The world
has not the gold to maintain this movement. 1t would embarrass us to
receive the gold, fl could be sent, so demoralizng would it be to our
price structure. 1t would embarrass us hardly less to receive such
balances in goods and services. for that would tangle our economics as
the gold would snarl up our finances. In short, the present condition
of our international trade reflects that sort of prosperity from which
til prudent to pray to be delivered.
the stimulus Of war demand to a capacity exceeding our ability to
consume. On the other hand, the world is in our debt to such an
extent that it must pay If it is to remain solvent. 1t cannot pay gold,
for it neither exists nor is possessed, and we do not want it. But if the
world pays in goods and services, we are thrust into overproduction,
the other name for underconsumpton, which means unemployment
and the unsettement of our economic basis.
Yet we cannot stop our credits. W. are committed to the war
and it's economic results by principles which are superior to considera-
tions of profit and loss. Needless to say, the calculation of our great
credits is not the basis OF a prophecy of either defeat or loss. The
indication rather is that it will be prudent for us to cast our inter
national accounts lenienty. Translated into economics, that means
that our post war customs should be AS liberal as we can endure in the
way of allowing payments to us in goods without disturbing domestic
trade. Translated into finance, that means that we should not collect
our credits vigorously. BY funding " reducing the rate of interest we
may reduce the sums to come to us IN goods and services. By collecting
some part of the debt in the establishment of democracy rather than
in gold we should do humanity some such service as we have done
Belgium by our charity. In the past England has been SO rich that
it was the target for the worlds dislike. That is now our role. Let
us play it in a manner to disalm fair criticism.

FOREIGN Trade--Past and Future.
From the New York Times.

Neither politician nor prophet, neither statesman nor economist,
dared to predict the future of omr foreign trade as embodied in the
facts recently reported. But the welfare of the nation requires that
somebody should foresce the result of the reaction from conditions
which cannot possibly continue, and be prepared with provision for
control.
When the change comes, results will follow as quickly IS men can
trade, and in Importance will correspond to the figures which describe
The past and contain the germ of the future. Going back to the time
when the recovery from the distressful 1893 put this country into the
81, 0OO0O0000 class of foreign trade, this is the record:

WANT ENTENTE To
RECOGNIZE FINLAND
General Mannerheim Is Regent Of
New Coalition Government

London, Nov p Correspondence
of the Associated Press. )-General
Mannerheim, the Finnish leader.
who has consented to become regent
of the new coalition government of
Finland, and the other supporters of
the government sustained by the
White Guards, are extremely anxious
to have the Entente powers and the
United States recognize the new Fin
nish government.
The necessity for such recognition
at once is urged on the ground that
the peasants feel under great obliga-
tons to Germany for interfering and
establishing order in Finland and
cannot be induced to transfer their
allegiance to the enemies of Ger
many unless steps are taken that will
convince them that the Entente DOW
ers have a real interest in FinIand's
welfare.
General Mannerheim has been in
London for several days comforting
with A. ]. Balfour, British foreign
secretary. He intends to go to Paris
to discuss the Finnish situation with
Colonel E. M. House and French Off
Gals. He desires also to meet Her
administrator, and talk over the pro-
visioning of Finland whose bread
supplies are about exhausted.
Sweden and Denmark have con-
sented to let Finland have a limited
amount of grain, but this supply will
not reach Finland in time to prevent
the suspension of bread rations in
the larger cities of Finland for some
time.
According to dispatches received by
General Mannerheim virtually all the
German troops have now left Finland.
There were less than 1000 Germans
there week ago, and as these have
been moving out whenever ships
were available, the general says Fin
land is now doubtless entirely free
| from German soldiers.
| The Russian Reds are threatening
| the Finnish border and the political
| situation in Finland is SO troubled
| that a, recurrence of the war be-
| tween reds and whites which devas-
| tated the country last winter is fear
ed unless the government is able tc
| obtain adequate food supplies to re.

SOLDIERS IN need
OF READING MATTER
Million Books a Month Can Easily
Be Used

Paris, Nov. 10 Correspondence OF
American Press.) With more read
ing time on their hands than ever
before now that the lighting has stop
ped, the American eXpeditioaary
force which required a million books
a month, will deVour literature at a
much more staggering figure. The
book shelves of every Y. M. c. A. hut
are polished daily by the constant re-
tura on books read and the taking
out of new books, and the difficulty
is in supplying rapidly enough, ac-
cording to Burton Stevenson, head Of
the American Library association.
What the soldiers like best in the
way of reading is reported back to
Mr.. Stephenson through the Y. NJ. G.
A, the Red Cross and the other Or
CARNATIONS among which the books
of the American Library association
are distributed, as we'll as through
letters straight from the soldiers
themselves. His forecast of what
they are going to want was cabled
back to the United States the other
day, in the following order for books:
Need Immediately 1000 each ele-
mentary, advanced arithmetics geom-
tries, trigOnometries, chemistry
books, physics, agriculture, stock
breeding, forestry, business methods,
accounting, commerce, banking, law.
architecture. Two hundred each of
bookkeeping, poultry raising. Re-
quests pouring in show tremendous
demand for technical, educat iOnal
books. Reorga nizing warehouses to
expedite distribution"
Fiction continues to be read by the
army, in spite of it's more serious
trend of mind, at the rate of hun
dreds of thousands of volumes a.
and Service are still the favorite poets
of the American soldiers. Among the
requests that come in during the past
week were two for ordinary primers
or A, 3, G books, from American
born men who are finding their first
opportunity to study their own Ian
guage in q foreign country. Mr. Stew
enson believes that the need for such
educational books in the months af-
ter peace is declared before the men
can go back to their own country, will
be tremendous.
The American Library association
is so we'll organized in France that
any soldier who makes a request TOR
a particular book from any camp is
a pit to find it in his hands almost
more quickly than he would be able
to procure it in the United States.
The associa ton beat it's own records
the other day, however, when two
boxes of books were delivered by
airplane to aviation camps.

FOOD CONDITIONS j..

Saloniki, Dec. Ia (By Associated
Press. Food conditions in Bulgaria
are good, according to reports reach
ing here, this being especially true of
the country districts, where the peas
ants have stored quantities of cereals
and other agricultural products. In
the cities food is available to all hav-
ing the means to pay the high prices
asked. Clothing, however is scarce
The price of thread is prohibitive and
there is also an acute shortage in
drugs and surgican dressings. Qui-
nine sells for a hundred dollars a
pound, and paper is used for band
ages.
There is much money in the coun-
try, the reports indicate. The Bull
garian government recently sold
100000 pounds of tobacco at nearly
three dollars a pound, receiving pay
ment in gold. During the entire
period of the war an immense store of
tobacco belonging to American COM
panies was left undisturbed.

Will be made.
While we have put on night

it will be necessary for the jobbers to

to furnish each jobber at least twice
the quantity of VapoRub that he

many of these if they were forced to
return to Russia. Consequently the
Finnish government has permitted
them to remain in spite of the short
age of foodstuffs, thus imposing an
additional tax on its limited supply
of grain.
General Mannerheim led the Fin
nish White Guards in their fight
against the Finnish Red Guards and
Russian Red Guards last winter, but
retired from the command, the White
Guards accepting the support of the
German troops. He was not in SYM
pathy with Germany's movements to
entrench itself in Finland, and was
summoned back to Finland from
Sweden after it became clear that
Germany must withdraw as a result
of its defeat on the western front.
Al election is to be held next Feb
ruary to select a new Finnish SEN
ate. which will pass on the form of
government in Finland is to have. At
present it is a constitutional mon

which it was governed when a part
