Forest City press. (Forest City, Potter County, D.T. [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1918-12-26

Sir Hugh Bell, speaking before the Council 81 the British
Association recently. had the following to say concerning International
All our ter'ninoIogy of trade has connotations Of conflict. With
difficulty have avoided in the foregoing exposition words which
imply hostilty-~wotds like 'strugge; implications that there is a
prize to be won; suggestions that in a commercial transaction one
side mast get the better OF the other. Such words and phrases all
Indicate that attitude of hostility which is. believe, false and
essentially misleading. The best bargains men make are not those
in which one gets the better of the other. but rather those from
which each draws an advantage, making him wish to repeat the
process, and 81 maintain the flood of mutual benefits set running
by the first transaction.
1t is equally true of trade between nations as between individuals.
Indeed, it is another cause obscurng the issue that we talk of inter
national trade. 1t is convenient to look at the whole trade operations
between the inhabitants OF one country and those of another; but,
in fact, the operations themselves are between individuals. and it is
merely an accident that the buyer happens to be an Engishman and
the SELLER a trenchman, an Italian, or even a German. If the parties.
be they fellow countrymen or be they foreigners. are wise, they will
desire that each may profit, and so return to trade. The last thing
they should wish is to ruin their customer and lose his custom. In
one word. commerce is not conflict, hut cooperation. The right
apprehension of this truth would have dissipated many of the fears
which people entertained before the war rs to the danger in which
the world stood from German commercial activity and enterprise; it
will lessen the alarm with which they regard the prospect of the
German people after the war returning to the arts of peace. To most
of us engaged in industry nothing is more to be desired than
prosperity for our neighbors whether we love them or hate them.
Prosperity means the power to satisfy wants and the wish, explicit
or implicit, to exchange a surplus with some one else for something
desired, and, this state of mind will not be satisfied by one
transaction, but will grow by what it feeds on.

Reports gathered by the federal re-

however, is somewhat restricted by the
desire of retail merchants to let their

AT least $4,000. 000, 900 must be raised

initiation is a general rise in prices.

Russian Rubles.
From the Financial World.

The sharp advance in Russian rubles and Russian bonds just be.
fore the announcement of the terms of the armistce was justified by
the terms OF the document for the suspension of hostilties. These
provided that the Russian indemnity money already wrested from
fer fsh, as ito to the a%d exact ;s fd an cunt must must be returned ct to Russia, but mean.
until the signature of peace. The indemnity taken from Rumania, a
former ally of Russia, is also to be retained, all slav races are to be
freed from Teutonic domination, including Poland; the Baltic, in
which Russia is vitality interested, is to be made free of access to all
vessels. The $4,OOOOOO,OOO indemnity to be paid by Russia is alto
gether cancelled.
This certainly is a pleasing program to all Russians. 1t means
that the allies believe there is still in Russia a regenerative power for
the restoration of stable conditions and the setting up Of an orderly
and stable government in place of the chaotic conditions that have
reigned under the bolshevist farce erected by the crafty and corrupt
Lsenine!Irotzky tools Of Germany; We may soon expect to zee the
industrial elements which cooperated in the first uprising which de-
posed the late car. Under a free government regenerated Russia
should, and doubtless will, flourish and become once more a powerful
nation, with all the abuses of its former despotic regime swept away.
1t will take time, patience and persistence to accomplish this, and
there will have to be instituted a popular form of education Of the
masses so SO ta ass,t the N humble sl as well as the rich and great may aspire to
passionate love of justice under right conditions.
