German accounts do not show what
the British accounts do, SAYS the New
York Times. England has maintained
its exports and imports and even has
increased them. Germany has lost its
foreign trade and with it its profits
and the par of the mark. Whenever
peace shall come, England can trade
on equality with the world, but Ger
many must pay for the ease il has en-
ioyed during the war. Germany : lead
.ers deceive the Germans bv false
financial balance through credit Jug
Cling which will become an unendur-
able economic deficit whenever trade
conditions become normal No one will
take German marks and Germany is
without goods with which to balance
the trade with the world Among them
selves Germans are solvent on the ac-
counts, but their capital is pledged to
the banks which are overloaded with
llllquld assets at exaggerated prices.
When the prices fall, the situation Will
disclose itself to banks and customers
alike. The deficiency in marks is moth
ing compared with the deficiency of
assets against which inflated credits
have been negotiated. Already one
third of private German wealth has
been transferred to the Government and
destroyed. The process may be CON
tinued until German capital is gone,
but at some step in the process the kai-
ser's categorical imperative to conquer
will come to material and psychological
ends together. The will to conquer can
not survive without food and clothes.

That American capital and labor, or,
to put it in another way, American
employers and employees, get along very
well together, under mutually helpful
conditions, is emphasized by the act Of
enc of the great industrial concerns of
the United States in setting aside
S5,00o,0o0 to meet the cost of third
Liberty lean bonds to be subscribed FOR
oa easy terms by its workers. Thou
sands of industrial concerns in the
United states have been accommodating
their employees in this way since the
FIRST Liberty loan was hoatad, and
thousands are encouraging subscriptions
to the third issue III a similar man
ucr. The Christian Science Monitor
points out that the case mentioned is
peculiar only because of the amount
of money involved. The workers have
helped the employers to accumulate a
surplus capital which permits them to
SO lightly into philanthropy. The en-
ployets have granted compensation
which enables the workers to aceumu-

In view Of the value of the fish in
the Connecticut river as a food
resource it would seem worth while
Tor the power company to consider
measures for prevention of the whole
sale destruction of spawn that occurs
every spring when the meadows above
the Vernon dam are drained. 1t has
been suggested that the millions Of
perch and pike spawn that are de
posted each year on what was once
the Hunt meadow, only to be destroyed
by exposure to the air, could be saved
II a gate Were constructed at the cul-
vert on the lower end of the meadow
by means Of which the water in the
meadow could be impounded during
the comparatively few hours when the
gates of the dam are open. If such a
thlng could be done il would add more
to the rivers fish supply than years
of artificial stocking.

ORDER HITS
PAPERS FOR WAR
ACTIVITIES
Industries Board Cuts Size,
Recognizing Charge of
Huge Waste.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The War In
dustries Board has at last discovered
that there has been some waste of
paper in the myriad Of publications
started under governmental auspices
by the publicity managers of various
war activities. Attention to this stu
alton was called in the House by Rep
resentative Walsh many weeks ago.
With newspapers and magazines COM
PEELED to cut down their size, Repre-
sentative Walsh declared the size and
increasing number of these pubIica-
lions was rapidly growing to the pro-
portions Of a scandal.
This statement was issued yester-
day by the War Industries Board:
Regulations governing House or
gans or periodicals confined to ship
yard war activities publications came
activities publications and depart
mental activities publications are an
nounced by the pulp and paper divis-
ion of the War Industries Board.
"It is pointed out that the demands
for print paper for all purposes are
far in excess of the capacities of the
mills to produce and rigid economy in
the use of paper is an absolute neces-
sity.
For shipyard publications issued
by the shipyard organizations solely
for the upbuilding of the organization
morale and established prior to Oct.
1, 1918, the following specifications
! are called for;
THE maximum size of the paper
should not exceed eight pages, 9x12,
of four pages of any larger size which
may be used because of convenience
in manufacture. Such publications
must not be issued more than once a
week, and the circulation must not ex-
| coed the total number of employees in
the yard. There should be no paid
advertising printed. If the publica-
ton is a recent effort on the part of
| the shipbuilding organization the
same regulation must govern its pub

grave obstacles known only to those
actually facing them. In manufac-
turing we are on much too high 4
basis to hold our own against foreign
competition; and in shipping we are
also upon ridiculously high cost of
building and operation; the latter
largely owing to unintelligent labor
legislation. Such obstacles are well
understood by our business men; and
better still by our rivals who expect
to profit by our shortsightedness I'm
fortunately our legislators are grossly
ignorant or Indifferent concerning
such drawbacks, and show no inclin-
alton to remove the shackles which
threaten our newly gained status. I'm
less we adopt a more unselfish course
and liberate trade and commerce,
preparing ourselves to meet condi-
tons as readily as our rivals do, il IS
useless for US to expect information

thrives on freedom, not upon restric-
| tons.

tendencies which have ruled in the
past. This war has made America
the second maritime power in the
world, displacing Germany, which was
formerly second, and leaving US with
a tonnage not so very far below that
of Great Britain, which before hostin-
ties owned nearly one-half of the
worlds total. Germany may siren
uously endeavor to recover her lost
position, but for a period will be al
most hopelessly handicapped by i'm
paired resources and worldwide en-
nifty. The United States, on the 9TH
er hand, will start in the race with ii
vast new tonnage and a foreign COM
merce already expanded to enormous
proportions by war. TO maintain
this vast trade and to employ this
huge tonnage will require most intel
ligent and careful action. We shall
soon have to meet in open markets
keen competition in both goods and
freights. We shall be obliged q
compete with the most experienced
capable and enterprising traders II

How can we expect to sell if we viii
