The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Gxcnange on Italy went to a new low
record for the war period last week
when lire bills continued to display
pronounced weakness in the face of
strong intimations that steps have
been finally undertaken to put ma
cninery into operation that will tend to
stabilize the Rome rate. Banks in
iit:aIy have been heavy sellers of lire
bills in this market. and it was Of
ferings from this quarter that were
largely responsible for depressing the
rate in recent days. 1t is generally
recognized. Of course, that the great
iaii in the value Of the Italian lire is
que principally to the fact that while
itaiy's exports have become almost
negligible. imports have risen by leaps
and bounds, the combination resulting
IN the rolling up Of large trade bal
ance adverse to Italy. Bankers here
insist that the only way the exchange
problem can be met with any degree
OF success Is for Italy to impose dras-
tic restrictions on all imposts. thus re-

ming thing is the product Of human
labor. And every bit Of human labor
that goes into the production of nom
essentials takes away that much active
force that could be used for war pur-
poses. The government must have
steel, copper, timber and chemicals for
the building Of ships and the cargoes
to fill these ships for our men over
seas. If those Of us at home spend
things for our own private use we are
competing with the government, de-
pleting the country's scanty supply,
forcing up prices and damming the
flow of war materials to Europe. Wher-
ever possible we must save materials
and labor for the government, and all
OF us must work as earnestly as we
know how to speed up the production
of things for the war
This means, in the last analysis, q
radical change in business in this coun-
IL means not only greatly increased
volume of business, but business of
the kind thai is essential to the ending
OF the war-to the ending Of it in such
way that we may resume business as
usual at an earlier date than would be
possible If we attempted now to con-
duct business es usual
The experience Of England should
teach us this lesson. At the outset of
the war England thought it possible
to to ride to victory on the slogan of
business as usual" 1t took some time
for the absurdity of this to sink into
the consciousness of the people. But
now the business of England is war,
just as it must and will be the bust
ness Of this country. The entire. ener-
gleS Of the Britisher arc directad frs4
Of all to the production of those
things necessary for the war Supply
ing even necessities for the people is
secondary consideration. And the
result Of all this activity of the efforts
Of every one to be of service is that
England was never buster, wages were
never so high. the general scale Of
living never SO good. The sales Ct
the large and small stores are greater
than ever before, but the buying is
along lines of economy that would not
have been possible before the mass Of
people learned the real meaning Of
business and war.

Relevant Comment
No Appeal From Aetna Decision

No appeal is expected to be taken
from the decision Of the U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in the Aetna Ex-
plosives case in view of negotiations
now going forward, looking to settle
ment of the differences between the
preferred and common stockholders
over the reorganization plan proposed
by the Seligman banking interests.
1t was learned yesterday that recent
conferences have been held between
the opposing factions with view to
arriving at an agreement. An interest
ing development in the situation is
the reported purchase of large block
of common stock from an interest who
fought the readjustment proceedings.
Government Steel Allocated
Nearly one-half the 100000 tons of
steel required for building Government
cars has already been allocated, steel
men said yesterday. This construction
work is said to call for approximately
$4,000 tons of bars, plates and shapes,
23,OO0,000 bolts, 1000 tons Of rivets and
$4,000 kegs of wire nails. The bars,
plates and shapes are being distributed
through the American Iron & Steel
Institute, but some of the accessory
supplies are purchased directly by car
builders. OF the $4,000 tons of, plates
required 1t is estimated that one-half
the tonnage will be rolled by the Steel
Corporation.

Julius Rosenwald Urges Ma
ton to Buy Only Things
Actually Needed
Saving Is Imperative
Merchant Says Luxuries
Should Be Put Aside to Aid
in Mobilizing Resources

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Julius Ros-
enwald in a statement issued here to-
day calls upon the American people
to eschew non-essentials until the war
ends. By buying the thing one does
not need, one prolongs the conflict and
adds to the tremendous sacrifice Of
life and property" he declares.
"The way for an individual, for a
business, for nation to get along is
to work and save" Mr.. Rosenwald
says. "Saving is a great virtue Of all
countries that have grown to ccm-
mercial greatness in the world. If
saving is necessary in normal times,
how much more necessary is 1t in q
time like the present, when the fnan-
cial demands on individuals, business
and the nation are far beyond anything
our country has ever experienced!
Saving by every one is as imperative
for the winning of this war as is the
mobilizing Of armies; more than that,
the mobilzing' of armies is entirely
futile if this military step is not ac-
companied by the rigorous, commons
sense saving Of the nation, for without
saving the marshalled hosts cannot
be equipped, cannot be fed, cannot be
carried overseas and cannot be put in
to the fight.

Mere Saving
Is No Hardship

"As we in this country economic in
consumption of things for private
needs we shall have larger store of
current savings that we can lend to
the government. The simple way to
lend to the government is to buy Lib
erty bonds and war savings stamps.
Every citizen must take stock of his
earnings power and decide what pro-
portion of it he can turn over to the
government for the period of the war,
and then regularly invest his savings
in government securities. If he ear
nestly wishes for victory he will do this
most cheerfully. He will not begrudge
the loss of luxuries formerly consumed.
He will realize that after all he is max
ing no sacrifice. He is merely denying
himself unnecessary things. He is not
even giving his money to his govern
ment, but lending it at good rate of
interest, and thus increasing his saw
ings. His health no doubt will be i'm
proved: His happiness will be in
creased. His life will be more com
plete, for it will be lived with one OBJ
ject in view-to have at least some
part. however small, in winning the
war;
