Where France VIII Stand

France is perhaps in as bad case
as Germany. 1t was estimated that
her pre-war debt, added to the obliga-
ton incurred since the outbreak of
hostilities, on the 1st of July last,
aggregated nearly S21, 100000
The interest charge on this vast
amount will call for nearly $500, OOO,-
700 annually, and if the country at
tempts to continue the rate of expen-
diture which the last peace budget de-
manded, 81, O75, 100000, is going ex-
nses are likely to exceed a couple
of billions annually. According to an
authority who has closely investigat-
of France before the war amounted to
ed the subject, the annual savings
about $600,000,000, of which $780,
100000 were available for invest
ment. 1t is obvious that the tremen-
dous draft on the producers of the
country which must be made to meet
the national obligations will not only
curtail the ability for some time to
come of the French to invest abroad,
out it must of necessity increase the
cost of production in France. The
French, however, are a resouceful
people, and their history shows that
at least thrice within a couple of cen
turtles they have eXtricated themselve
from situations as difficult as that
which appears about to confront
them.

WORK OF COMMISSION UNDER
NEW LAW

Many have wondered, since the
federal gvernment took over the con-
troll Of the railroads, what effect this
action would have upon the useful
ness of the state Public Utilities Com
mission. Now that the railroad bill
has been passed by Congress and
signed by the President, this can be
definitely stated.
The act specifically saves to the
states their lawful police regulations
except when such laws or regulations
may affect the transportation of
troops, war materials, government
supplies, or the issue of stocks and
bonds. With these exceptions the
power as given to the Public Utili-
ties Commission over police regula-
ton as affecting the railroads will
continue in effect.
The important question of the
regulation of rates and charges is
specifically covered by the bill. The
regulation of interstate rates will be
continued in the Interstate Commerce
Commission, except that whenever, in
his opinion, the public interest re-
ures, the President may initiate
changes in rates by filing the same
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and such rates become at
once effective if the President so or
ders. It is provided, however, that
at such rates so initiated shall be rea-
sonable and just, and upon complaint
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion that Commission shall enter up
on a hearing concerning their reason
ableness and business, and may con-
slider all the facts and circumstances
existing at the time of the making of
the order, but giving due considera-
ton to the fact that the transporta-
ton system are being operatde under
a unified and cooperative national
control, and not in competition. At
ter a full hearing the Commission
may make such findings and orders
as are now authorized by the act to
regulate commerce.
1t is contended by the advisers to
Director General McAdoo that this
act gives him authority to change
state rates, but if so it appears that
such changes may be reviewed by the
Interstatet Commerce Commission.
Che Public Utilities Commission will
proceed as heretofore with practical
ly the same powers, except over the
issue of stocks and bonds. 1t is eX-
pected that the Director General will
not make orders affecting rates ex-
cept where conditions imperatively
demand it and if it be determined
that he has the power to change state
rates, then the Public Utilities Com
mission will have the additional bur
den of appearing before the Inter
state Commerce Commission when
there are questions as to the reason
ableness and business of the order.

The British Debt

Son July %, 1917, the British net
indebtedness was ST., 230,000,000,
entailing an annual interest charge at
) per cent, of 1851, 100000. But
what are deemed to be conservative
estimates placed the annual savings
of Britons, before the war, at the
enormous sum of 2,O00,OO0,OOO. To
vhat extent the ability of the peo-
pie of Great Britain has been i'm
paired by the necessity of sacrificing
foreign securities and investments
which helped to make the total of
these gains it would be impossible to
tell at present, but the sum must be
considerable. The excessive taxation
to which the British have subjected
themselves since the beginning of the
war Just have greatly reduced the
incomes of a class who were accus-
toned to invest their SURPRISES in for
eign countries, an as the needs of the
Government viii necessitate the con-
tinuance of heavy taxation, there will
be less capital created to inves IN new
productive enterprises at home or in
British colonies and dependencies.
fThe mind of the British people
is not wholly engrossed by the war.
The bg-brained men of the nation are
asking what must be done to prepare
for the inevitable hereafter, and it is
not considered evidence of disloyaly
to discuss the possibility Of having to
wage a strenuous contest with the fin
ancial powers of Germany. A dis
pach from London printed in these
columns a few days ago represented
the chairman of one of the great
banks of that city urging the neces-
sity of combination to meet the pos
sible antagonism. The cause of appre-
hension was not clearly stated, and
that it should exist viii puzzle those
who enertain the view that Ger
many is hopelessly bankrupt. It may
not be amiss to suggest that the fear
entertained that the country with a
hopelessly deprecated inconvertible
'rrency may enjoy and advantage
over a nation adhering to the single
gold standard may be at the bottom
of the apprehension which has found
expression. 1t must not be forgotten
the royal monetary conferences in
England have gone on record as be-
Heveing taht the tendency in counties
with deprecated currencies is to in
crease production and enlarge ex-
ports. Formerly, the knowledge of
he working OF this economic law did
not disturb the British, because it
operated chiefly in countries that
produced raw materials which they
were glad to get, but the prospect
that the same result may be witnessed
IN a country largely engaged in manu-
featuring may not be considered with
the same complacency Perhaps we
in this country would do well also to
give some attention to the subject"
