Two Prophets of Optimism

AT least two of our leading financiers
look forward with serene confidence to
the future. Mr. Frank A. Vanderlip,
speaking to the woollen manufacturers
the other night, expressed himself as
mot looking for a wholesale reduction
either in prices or in wages" He gave
very clearly his reasons therefor. Re-
marking that "a great amount of gold
was formerly in circulation" he went
on to say:
Now most of the precious metal is in
the bank reserves and paper money is
performing the functions of circulation
The bank reserves have been tremen-
dously augmented and therefore the
basis of credit has been tremendously
increased l am not sure that we are
not permanently on higher level of
prices because of this adjustment of
gold
He added:
The great general level of wages will
not decline while the cost of living is on
its present level. This is hungry
world. There is going to be demand for
all the food there is and for practically
everything else that factory or shop can
turn out There is going to be a great
world labor demand and prices are going
to stay up.
Mr.. Paul Warburg finds grounds for
equal confidence in other directions.
He observes:
AS look through the telescope into
the period following that of transition
see a United States to which the world
at large will be heavily indebted, and to
which annually hundreds of millions of
dollars will be due as interest on loans
extended, in addition to the hundreds
of millions due in payment for the raw
materials we shall be able to spare for
other countries. | see an ndustrially
highly developed country which, with the
exception of limited number of articles,
will be capable of producing most of the
necessaries of life for the consumption
of its own people
much misread the future if it does
not have in store for New York the posi-
tion of a world exchange centre, vying
with London as free gold and discount
market. AS | see it, our future economic
position will be of such strength that it
will be difficult for many countries to
keep their exchanges at par with US.
AS to the immediate future, Mr.
Warburg holds that
the fact must not be overlooked that
by the systematic and wise curtailment
during the war of expenditures for
maintenance and new constructions for
necessaries and luxuries, we have now
happily stored up reserve purchasing
power which, together with the natural
foreign demand, should prove a very eff
ficient shock absorber.
In brief, this is not time for a
blind pessimism, ignorant alike of eco
nomic fact and economic history A
successful war is not a breeder of in
dustral depressions.

Europe Renade

in Serajevo, in Agram (Zagreb), in Lai-
bach The preliminary steps have been
taken to bring about federation of the
Slovenians, the Croats and the Serbs of
Bosnia, Herzegovina, Dalmatia and the
Serbian kingdom.
This new state thus formed will also
be as large as Italy; it will have a popu-
lation of more than 100000, and it
will be bounded by the Drave, the Danube,
Greece and the Adriatic Sea, with
frontier marching with Italy in Istria and
conceivably in a portion of Dalmatia.
This Jugo-Slav state will be the second
barrier to German march southwark
both to the Adratic and the Egean. In
company and alliance with Rumania and
Greece, reviving the alliance of 1913,
treacherously abandoned by Constan-
tine, now gone into exile, the Jugo-
Slav state will oppose a solid bulk of
territory larger than Germany or
France, WITH population Of more than
30,0O0,000, Ito any new German foray
toward Trieste or toward Saionica and
Constantinople.
The refrigeration of the Poles is pro-
ceeding daily; Czecho- Slovakia.. is rap
idly assuming definite shape; perhaps
by the time that the peace conference
assemblies the great geographical and
political problems will have been disposed
of and it will remain merely for the con-
gress to settle the disputed questions of
frontiers. We are less than two months
from the armistice of Senlis, which reg
lstered German failure and downfall.
but in that time we have seen the lib
Grafton of more than 60,O0O,o0O of peo-
pie, the construction of four greur
states-Poland, Czecho- -Slovakia, greater
Rumania and Jugo-Slavia. These sixtv
millions were part of the German plan
OF world supremacy; they have escaped
this fate, they have begun their own
free existence. Certainly, the events
since the ending Of the war will have an
enduring political Importance hardly 70

The Red Cross RollcalI

Next week is the Red Cross Christmas
Rollcall, and we bring it to the attention
of our readers now so that they can help
and help promptly. This community
has already given handsomely to the
Red Cross war fund, but this is a diff
ferent appeal, different in size and diff
ferent in aim. There is sought not
so much huge fund as huge men,
bership of good will. call you need is
heart and dollar" is the motto.
There are now 28O,O0O members in
Manhattan, for instance. 1t is hoped
to increase this enrolment To do this
will mean that every one who joined last
year must renew membership-and
help bring in others. The work of the
Red Cross is never done For the next
few years its labors among our stricken
friends in Europe must increase and
intensity. The coming Of peace presents
not an ending of Red Cross activities,
but countless fresh beginnings.
1t is for this reason that the Red
Cross hopes to keep it's old friends
and make new ones. 1t is small gift
in money value that is asked. 1t is a
mammoth total of American good will
and joint generosity that is really
needed Individually we cannot go be-
yond our neighborhood, we cannot cross
seas or mountains to lend a hand
Through the Red Cross we can do Just
that, the world around.

Dear F. F. w.: May l not--so to speak

why the cornslk cigarette (for it was a
cigarette, not cgar) receives so much
publicity. You were always sngeing your
eyebrows when you lit them, and very
annoying poison gas was generated when
the newspaper in which you rolled the
cornslk began to turn black.
A far better smoke is provided if YOU
can get hold of buggy whip and break
off about three inches of it. If you over
indulge you raise blister on your tongue.
but you don't have to bother cutting up
paper; there is no gas, and you have tho
pleasure of swping the whip.
1t is just as we'll, however, to bury the
whip after you have used what you want,
because if you caught there seems to
be a prevalent idea that there's a certain
poetic justice in using the stub of the

125 Terrace avenue, and was in

the thieves ,,seeing the oppor-
tunity, took possession, running
the car, across town to Court

Marsh Heights, cut a fence up
there and followed the ridge (no
road there) around across the
line. Over that side the Cal

the regulations permit the use

The fifth conclusion of law is
declaredsin error in that in 1865
the heirs of Baca had asked for
"a different tract and subse-
quently in 1877 succeeding g
claimants had asked for reloc's

Further, it is declared the
court erred in failing to fin1

legal right to mandamus the
surveyor general of New 'Mexico
to make a survey of the float ct
any time since 1864, after the
surveyor general of New Mex
ioc had approved the selection.
In conclusion it is argued the
court erred in failing to find
that the claimants had a full

BACA FLOAT GRANT.
Hearing of Argument in Circuit
Court of Appeals in Los An
geles, on Motion for
Reversal.

The effort of the settlers on
the Baca Float Grant is before
the Circuit Court of Appeals at
Los Angeles ,on appeal from the
decision of Judge Bledsoe
against them. The following
account is taken from the Tue
son tar of yesterday:
Argument began yesterday
before the Federal Circuit Court
OF Southern California at Los
Angeles, on an appeal from the
decision of Judge Bledsoe,, sit
ting in the local Federal Court
a-few months ago when the
claimants in the famous Baca
Float case, Cornelius C. Watts,
James E. Bouldin and others
were confirmed in and given
possession of the float and the
settlers were later given notice
. to leave the land next summer.
The argument was based OH
an assignment of 13 errors.
Representing John B. Wright,
George A. Darnell appeared be.
fore the court. Campbell and
Kingan represented the claim
ants.
Fact No. 1 in the findings OF
the court as to the Contzen sur
vey is contested in Assignment
No. 1, wherein it is contested
that the original survey was
made in 1863, not in 1914.
Fact No. 2 is contested as il
error, it decreeing that the
grant claimants acted in gooC
faith in the proceedings anc
were not guilty of deceiving the
defendants nor any of. theiI
predecessors in title.
The assignment of error
pointsout that in 1877 John S
Watts, then claimant, had re
fnounced the tract and hac
sought another tract entirely.
Attacking Fact No. 3 in ths
third assignment of error, it is
declared that the land instead
of being open to settlement fol
only a short time, was in reality
open to settlement for 80 years.
Fact No. a is alleged to be con-
trary to the facts set out in the
masters report.
Fact No. 5 is attacked on the
basis of undisturbed possession
for at least 10 years without
suit.
The courts first conclusion Of
law is attacked as to ownership
of the tract as contrary to the
statutes of limitation of Ari-
zona.
The Judgment of the court
that the statute of limitation
did not begin to ruiz It'll De-
cember Ia, 1914, when the Cont
zen survey was approved by t: ,
commission of the General Land
Office and filed, was declared
contrary to the act of congress
in 1862 and the Federal statutes
of limitation of 1864.
1t is further alleged that the
court erred in it's third conclu-
sion of law declaring the de-
PENDANTS were in unlawful pos
session, which was declared
contrary to the findings of the
master and the evidence.
The fourth conclusion of law,
in which it was decreed that
the plaintiffs have possession,
was attacked as being contrary
to the facts found in the mas
ter's report, that the heirs of
the original Baca denied in 1866
that they intended to hold the
land claimed now by their de-
scendants and claimants, and
further that they and other
claimants had asked for relo-
cation of the public lands else
