the Dollar Is at a Discount Abroad

Says Hartley Withers: "One of the re-
suits of the war has been vast increase
in the output of money and conse-
quent rise in prices because the output Of
goods did not keep pace with it." Says
the National City Bank: "World money
and world promises to pay have enor-
mously ines ased. World currency has
increased so per cent. since 1913,
world financial obligations l42 per cent.
and world population but 21l2 per cent"
There does not seem to be much doubt
with these two authorities about high
prices and appalling imitation.
When the war is over, how is the money
TO be debated without crashes7 1t is all
very easy to say that by the Federal Re-
serve system notes and credit can be
called in as there is no further use for en-
larged notes and credit, but that will not
pay big International debts contracted at
the inflated values. No, but that is where
a real international court of finance will
be needed. As it is now, international
bills must be paid in gold, but if there
were an international court of finance
an international currency in paper would
be as effective as gold till the goods went
forward, gradually paying the war debts.
1t has often been said that the chain Of
international finance should have been
strong enough TO prevent the war, but the
trouble was it was not a chain. 1t was a
lot of separate links. What the internal
tional fnanciers are endeavoring to do
now is bind the links up in an unbreak-
able chain that will hold commerce to-
gether and up till restored trade can pay
the war debts in goods. This may sound
prosaie. but it is not far different from
the brotherhood of man of which the
poets sing. And if goods are ultimately
to pay the war decisive are back where
we began-ships, the shuttles in tue loom
of international finance that is to keep the
world from going into naked bankruptcy.

trated in war industry, and war industry
burriedly pays the money out In wages
and raw materials that have increased IN
price from 100 to 200 and 300 per cent.
If the process stopped here the circle OF
paving for the war would be vicious
one. 1t would really be an invisible ex-
preparation of wealth, but it doesn't stop
here. Where and how do the higher
wages and higher cost for raw material
gof When the first Liberty bond was
fcated 4,5O0 900 people subscribed. The
second numbered 100000 buyers. The
third spread out to 100000 people. 1t
is the business of the bankers TO see that
the fourth spreads out TO 4,0OO.OoO
BUYERS.
Another point about these higher wages
and higher prices for raw material.
Though economists say bank deposits are
really liability against the banker and
an asset for the public. the fact remains
bank deposits in this country have enor-
mously increased since the declaration of
war The latest report in the United
States shows an increase in national banks
alone of almost so per cent. since 1914
and in Great Britain of almost 40 per
cent. If the money for the Liberty bonds
drawn out of general circulation TO be
centralized in war industries and spread
from war industries out TO higher wages
and higher prices comes back in purchase
of more Liberty bonds and in bank depos
its, 10 go out again in general circulation.
there is no fear of a vicious circle ending
in the invisible but gradual appropriation
OF wealth.
But there are two man sized jobs for the
court of international finance One is
the enormously increased cost of over
head TO do business, whether farm or fac
tory. The other is the world danger OF
inflated money. Wages and raw material
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-08-04

are easily from 100 to 200 per cent. higher
than in 1914. Here. we'll say, is fac
tory that ordinarily had to borrow from
the bank 100000 every six months for
its overhead till output brought in re-
turns Under present higher costs the
bank must advance that factory nearer
100000 than 100000 to get the same
output. And the same conditions apply
to the stock feeder. the wheat farmer, the
dairyman. What's the remedyi No rem

not done more harm than good. Either all
prewar prices should have been fixed
wages, interest, raw stuffs-or no prices
should have been fixed The farmer OBJ
viously can't afford fixed prices in wheat

soar from SO to IS day. The dairyman
can't afford fixed prices for milk if the
prices of feed and labor are allowed to
soar 300 per cent. So Of the miner, the

The second big problem for finance TO
solve is the world imitation of money, by
money meaning coin, notes, checks. Is
there world initiation of money! l sup

one of the greatest authorities on money

Congressman looked at one another in
amazement. All had had the same
facts from which Mccoy had made his
estimate, but Mccoy was the only man
who had known how to use the facts
Mccoy an Accurate Forecaster.
Mccoy is by education and training an
expert mathematician. But much of the
most valuable work he accomplishes for
the Government is less due to his mathe-
NAUTICAL knowledge than TO his rare abl-
ity in utilizing the simple, elemental, COM
monplace facts that everybody knows
One of his most important duties, as
already indicated, is TO tell the revenue
committees of Congress how much money
may be derived from any proposed taxa
ton. In this work of forecasting Nc
Coy has done wonderful things. For ex-
ample, he estimated in 1913 that the in
come tax from corporations for the
year ended June 80, 1915, would be
about $39,O0O,OOO. He came within
about $4,000 of absolute accuracy
Every year he makes an estimate of what
the total census of the country will be
several wears ahead. In 1901 he figured
the population OF 1910 Nine years later
the Census Bureau made an actual count.
Allowing for the inevitable element of
error in making such count, the result
showed that McCoy's figures were prob
ably as nearly correct as those of the
bureau.
A representative from the census bu-
reau hunted up Mccoy to see how he had
done it. There was nothing supernatural
about it. He had simply noted the per
centage of increase at every previous
census, allowed for immigration. financial
and other conditions and made his esti-
mate as a mere matter Of office routine.
To verify his figures he had made in
quiries about the increase in population
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-08-04

on the street where he lived. Then he
compared this with one or two other
sample streets and usith rural community
whose population was known through the
school census.
Mccoy desired one day. to know how
many automobile tires were used in the
United States each year, and how much
gasolene He knew of no total figures
ever having been collected, and so he set
to work in his own way, using the facts
right at hand, visible to the naked eye.
First, he must know how many automo-
biles are in use in the United States. To
do this he walked to street corner and
began to count the number of automobiles
that went by. In few minutes he had
an estimate of the number of automobiles
in the District of Columbia.
Later he compared his estimate with
the number of automobile licenses issued
by the District government, and found
that his estimate was practically correct.
He had arrived at his estimate simply by
comparing the ratio of passing automo-
bies and pedestrians with the total popu
lation in the District of Columbia.
Simple Methods Followed.
Then he inquired as TO the number of
automobiles registered in one or two rural
counties-in order to compare the number
used in city and country. He went on and
ascertained, by inquiring at gas stations
and garages, about the average number of
miles the average car will 60 on a gallon
of gasolene and the average number of
miles a set of tires will last. Eventually
he came TO an astonishingly accurate esti-
mate of the nxnber of gallons of gasolene
and sets of tires used on automobiles
throughout the United States.
Doubtless there were scores Of items
that he took into consideration, such as
the condition of the roads and the rela-
tive purchasing power of people in diff
ferent sections. But the point is that he
got much of his information simply by
standing on a street corner and using his
eyes and his wits.
Before the war tax was placed on the
atre and moving picture admissions Nc
Coy was asked to forecast how much
money could be raised by that means.
And where do you suppose he started his
inquiry? BY asking his wife how often
she went to the movies. He then asked
his neighbors and various others he met
for the next couple of days about their

VIIHEN the United States Govern
w ment a few years ago began to
consider raising part of its revenues by
an income tax an item of difficulty was
that none of the legislators had the re-
hottest idea how much money could be
gathered in that way. Nobody knew how
many incomes there were of any given
amount or the total of all incomes. Neither
did they have any way of knowing what
percentage Of the tax due could be col
lected.
Joseph S. Mccoy, statistical expert
connected with the Treasury Department,
had been called into consultation by a
Congressional committee. Turning TO
Mccoy, Il member of the committee in
quired:
Are there any figures available show
ing the number of annual incomes of
$1,000 or $4,000 or 100000 in the
United States?"

''Then, in the absence of such figures, is

pected reply.
And how soon could you supply such
information?"

time we're all back from lunch"
That afternoon he submitted estimates

went into operation, proved substantially

planned, 'have had an income tax in oper-
