At Topic Aifdome Tonight

Little Zoe Rae, though considered
big enough to be advertised as the
star of ''The Magic Eye" which comes
to the Topic Airdome tonight, is SO
much of a baby that she still loves
to play with dolls. AS matter of
fact, she not quite z years old
but her work for the screen is so ma
ture that it is hard to imagine hel
being contented with childish amuse.
ments. However, outside the studio
Zoe is real baby. "Do you know
that Santa Claus brought me the big
gcst doll in the world last Christ
mas?" she said the other day. "Sh'
is so big that she wears clothes o1
4-year-old size, and l save all m!
spare pennies to buy dresses for her
and l have big trunk all full OF
them and the maid washes them every
week, just like she does mine. Chill

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The foreign exchanges moved rather
narrowly, as a rule. last week, although
the easier tendency which developed in
the neutral exchanges was an interest
ing reflection of the further striking
successes of the Allied armies in
France. Early in the week decline in
Dutch, Scandinavian, Swiss and Span
ish exchange rates improved the posi-
tion of the dollar in those countries to
the greatest extent in weeks, and bank
ers interpreted the movement as in
dicative of the growing conviction
abroad, as we'll as here, of the complete
defeat of the Germans.
Other influences were at work in the
market for Spanish exchange. 1t was
reported during the week that arrange
ments are nearing completion for a
S100,000,000 loan to be made to the
United States by Spanish bankers, and
this helped to harden the peseta rate.
Allied exchanges displayed increasing
firmness, although some of the improve
ment recorded in francs a week ago
was lost. Sterling bills were steady.
If you calculate the cost of the dol
lar in terms Of foreign money at par
value-that is, if you we're buying dol
lars with pounds, marks or francs-its
value at the close of last week, as COM
pared with year ago, would be about

Important to
American Labor

Following Lloyd Georges dictum
that "the longer the war lasts the
sterner must be the economic terms we
impose on the foe," their rule is to boy
colt Germany one month for every
small ship sunk and three months for
every large one, the period now amount
ing to about six years, Their plan en-
braces a refusal to work upon any
ships which attempt to bring a German
or any German goods to British soil.
Allied with them is the French Sea-
mems Union. In commenting on the
growth of the boycott movement "The
New York Times" of August 16 stated:
Such movements, of which the British
and French seamen's boycott is prom
inent example, may be considered apart
from the plans of governments for leg
lsIatlon or peace terms. They will he
effective and their influence upon gov
ernments must be taken into account .,
For America, and above all for
American labor, the boycott is of ex-
treme Importance. The first effect of
a commercial boycott against GERMANY
VIII be to prevent the dumpine in
America of cheap goods made by a
Germany which will be impoverished.
and hence desperately anxious to make
a start in trade. Obviously, the trade
mark Made i'll Germany" VIII not be
Popular III any of the Allied countries.
and, knowing this, the Germans have
already bought up trademarks in
Switzerland and other neutral coun-
tres to use as sham and fraud.
One Of the great gains to be accom- :
FNshed after the war is the stamping
out of the immoral and dishonorable
trade methods of Germany all over the
world. We are just becoming aware OF
the crooked ways in which GERMANY
aimed to control public opinion in
Allied countries by newspaper adver-
tlslng contracts; to control raw mate
rials by long time options and con-
tracts; to use their ambassadors and
consuls as trade spies; to subsidize
Germans to act as consular agents for
other countries (of 1900 British con-
sular agents, 900 were Germans). and.
in a word, to spread German trade not
by fair competition, but by underhand
bribery, lying and corruption. 1t will
need an alert and determined policy to
overcome this poisonous growth. The
adoption of trademark MADE in
America" and of an international
Allied Trademark" will help to keep
the American people from being over
New-York tribune., 1918-09-08

That the volume Of business is ex-
panding steadily is clearly indi-
Gated by the record of bank clear
ings. The rate Of increase in clear
ings over corresponding periods last
year is growing progressively. In
June the increase was only 2.2 per
cent, and for the first eight months
of this year only Ga per cent. But
in August the gain was more than
10 per cent over August, 1917,
whereas the advance in the general
level of commodity prices in the
same period was less than 615 per
cent. Moreover, clearings were re-
duced very substantially by curtail-
ment of speculation, not only in
stocks, but in grains and other COM
modities. The turnover on the New
York Stock Exchange alone in Au-
gust was more than 40 per cent be-
low the transactions effected in the
corresponding month a year before.
All things considered, it is prob
able that there was an increase in
the quantity of goods exchanged,
which is an important thing, of
something more than per cent,
possibly as much as 10 per cent.
The remarkable feature of this
increase in trade is that is was &C.
complished in the face Of q very
serious decrease in the productive
forces Of the country. One author
ity estimates that the war has ab-
sorbed man power virtually equal
to that engaged at the beginning Of
1915 in manufacturing industries in
eight Eastern states-and it is in
the East that manufacturing is mest
congested.
There is no doubt that the in
crease in the turnover was produced
in large measure by war activities,
but it is an unfortunate fact that
the buying of goods for civilian con-
sumption also expanded very ma
terially during the period, and prob
ably is continuing to expand. With
hardly an exception, reports bearing
on the state of trade indicate that
while there has been considerable
saving by those who formerly in
dulged in luxuries, this has been off
set by wild spending in industrial
centres, where wage earners have far
greater spending power than they
ever had before. The head of the
war savings campaign admits that
through the extravagant expendi-
lures. of this class the total con-
sumption of goods has increased in
spite Of saving by others.
It is obvious that our war pro-
gramme cannot be carried out if
such extravaganza continues, and it
must be checked by compulsion if ap-
peals to patriotism will not suffice.
When it is considered that war plans
call for the mobilization of man
power equal to the total number of
~ workers employed in manufacturing
industries in the United States four
years ago-figures compiled by the
Peoples National Bank Of Pitts
burgh show this-it will be apparent
even to its most ardent advocates
that Uh11siness as 11s,1a1N cannot he
permitted.

Boycott Of
Germany

The Allies should treat Germany as
with her. In the language Of sermon
recently preached in New York, Ger
many shall live on herself, within her
self and to herself. She shall remain
in isolation, in sackcloth and ashes for
100 years. She shall not have during
that period entrance to the political
and commercial league Of nations. Her
crimes have barred her from member
ship in the league Of nations. She
shall be cut off from the commercial
confidence Of the world. She shall not
be recognized as trader among the
civilized nations"
In all the Allied countries anti Ger
man societies exist whose object is to
arouse and unite public sentiment
which will force their governments to
insert in the terms of settlement the
provision that no Germans, no German
goods, no German ship and no German
investments can enter their respective
countries for at least fifty years. In
tho United States the American De-
fence Society has recently started
campaign to obtain twenty million sig
natures to its pledge never to purchase
goods made in Germany. The Ameri-
can Guardian Society and other soci-
cites are carrying on similar cam
paigns. These societies are now be-
coming members Of the International
Committee of Anti German Societies f
Paris, which forms connecting link
between all the boycott societies of the
Allied nations, and includes in France
twenty-seven societies Of the Fedora
! tion Of National Leagues and fifteen as
sociations of the Anti German Leagues;
in Belgium the League of Belgian Pa
iriots, the League Of Remembrance, the
Belgian Anti German League and
others; in England the powerful Brit
ish Empire Union; in Italy sixteen
leagues existing as the Italian Fedora
tion of Anti-German Leagues; in Por-
tugal the National Anti German
League, and for the countries still held
under the yoke of the Central Powers
the Franco-Czech League. The Inter-
national Committee also has branches
in other countries, as in Spain, at Bar
celona, Seville and Madrid; in Brazil
and in Japan. The Liverpool Cotton
Association has gone on record against
trading with the enemy countries for
ten years after the war. But the most
powerful boycott agency yet organized
is the British Seamen's Union, with
100000 members. This body of men is
so indignant at the murder by German
submarines of $4,000 or 10000 of their
members, unarmed and helpless, that
they have adopted the economic boycott
as their protest.

Total August Production

August production of new refined
copper, including clectrolytic, Lake
and casting, is estimated at 175,OoO,00O
pounds, compared with 2o5.0OO,OOO
pounds for July. In August, 1917, the
output was 233,00O,OOO pounds. Pro-
duction during the last four months OF
the year at the same average rate as
for the first four months would result
in total output for 1916 Of about
2,400,000,000 pounds, approximately
equal to that of last year.

run by German goods with neutral
fraudulent trade marks.
All the Allied nations after the war
will go through a difficult period OF
industrial reconstruction. Millions of
soldiers will return to find their busi-
ness places gone, and it will be great
help to American labor and to the en-
ployment of returned soldiers to have
the American market open to American
and Allied products, but closed to the
factory products Of Germany. Would
you prefer that while returned soldiers
starve German goods be sold in this
country? 1t was the case in England
after the last war that British soldiers
sold matches in the streets Of London
while the markets were flooded with the
products Of cheap German labor. As
Lloyd George says: Il think we ought
to see that the people who have been
fighting together should be served frs.
after the war"
Another point OF high Importance Is
that the barring of trade with Germany
and the keeping out of Germans from
this country will automatically head
off large part of the German plans
already made for German propaganda
in America. The United States should
accept no more German ambassadors
whose real function is to serve as man
ayers of the German spy bureau in this
country; we want no more German
consular agents trained to discover
American inventions and commercial
secrets and send them to Germany, and
we want no more German teachers in
our schools and universities to carry
on campaign for Teutonic ideas. The
soul Of Germany at last stands naked
before the world and all men row know
that it is rotten.
