Educating Americans

The School of Commerce of the Uni.
versity of Oregon is organizing classes
for foreign commerce at its extension
centre at Portland and President P. L.
Campbell of the university has written
the United States Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce at Washington
letter which reads as follows
THE School of Commerce is plan

Portland to organize classes in foreign
commerce among the employees of the

dents those who have been ira ned in
reputable schools of commerce, but
have not yet had actual business ex-
perience.
"The thought of the School of Com

Says Bond Prices
Should Discount
Peace by 6 Months
Banker Finds Investment
Prices Lowest When War
Strain Is Greatest

In war time the lowest level of prices
for bonds occurs during that period
when the economic strain Is the great
est and before q reasonably definite
period can be fixed for the achieve
ment Of peace, according to Howard S.
Mott, of the Irving National Bank, in a
comparative discussion of the present
day course of bond prices and in
vestment conditions during the Civil
War period.
at will also be reasonable to con-
clude," says Mr.. Mott, that bond in
vestments made during a war are like
ly to show profits in the years follow
ing war, even though purchases
should not happen to be made at the
period of maximum economic strain.
Supremacy of Liberty Bonds
"a further conclusion of more than
usual interest at the present juncture."
he adds, "lies in the consideration that,
with the prospects of high taxation for
some time after the war and the rela-
tive freedom of Liberty bonds from
taxation, the war obligations Of the
United States government should
prove to be quite as satisfactory IN tho
future as any investments which pres
emily could be made"
The record of bond prices during the
Civil War period, according to Mr.
Mott, shows that the greatest depres-
sion in sentiment and in bond prices
occurred in 1864. the year following
the Battle of Gettysburg the turning
point of the war. AT that time the
South was purely on the defensive.
''In the event" says Mr.. Mott, that
the present war does not proceed TO g
triumphant conclusion in the manner
which hope generates as q result of
recent successes, it seems not unrea-
sonable to expect one or two years of
the bloodiest fighting of the war. ard
enormous losses may be the cost of
progress to the Rhine. In such case,
depressed sentiment similar to that of
the North in 1864 may hereafter exist,
even though our hearts agony may
never persuade US to accent defeat.
The only implication it could carry as
related to the prices of bonds would
be a prolongatior of the war. while
national debt multipies. taxation in
creases and the purchasing power of
the dollar continues to fall. Such
events conceivably would bring about
lower bond prices"
When Defeat Comes
Defeat left the South utterly pros
trate. The German people have no
wish to be destroyed. Mr.. Mott points
out. Germany does not yet admit de-
feat, and no doubt it will take hard
fighting to convince her that the game
is up. But Mr.. Mott believes that Ger
-. IL
sooner than a mere military analogy
might lead one to expect He points
out that in any event. judging by the
Civil War comparison. bond prices
should discount peace by at least six
months.

Present export requirements as we'll

piled largely by the movement direct

when there was some question about
the price Of wheat, farmers were slow
about selling, but since the price was
definitely fixed there has been ire
mendous rush to market and the visible
has increased with almost incredible
rapidity. In some Of the Southwestern
states wheat has been marketed so
rapidly that millers are beginning to
fear that when next year comes around
there may be a shortage of wheat on
the farm and mills will have to buy
from government elevators. In this
