From the J0Mndt of Commerce.
WASHINGTON. - Financial
conditions i'll Spain during 1917
are reviewed in a report made
to the Department of Commerce
by Consul General Hurst at
Barcelona.
The increase OF capital in
Spain during the year was con
siderable, as shown by heavier
deposits and other accounts in
the savings banks and various To-
cal banks throughout the coun-
try. Thirty per cent of the to-
tai current and shaving accounts
and % per cent of the capital in
Spanish banks are held in Bar
celona. Rates of interest on cur
rent accounts were low, very few
exceeding 1 per cent.
Until recently Spanish banks
have acted more as conservative
gurdians of national economy
than promoters of financial acti,
witty, but tendency to change
is apparent in this respect. AT
the close of 1917, there were fif-
ty-four private banks in Spain,
with nominal capital $43, 3,129,
800. Operating with such capi-
tal-of $S5,3OO,2OO and a paid-in
capital small compared with
that of the Bank of Spain-these
banks have during the past years
taken steps toward consolidating
thir interests.
Associations have been formed
not as trusts but rather as sOcie
ties, for mutual advantage. In
1900 the Association of Banks OF
Barcelona was formed and now
includes many concerns through
out Catalonia. In June, 1917
similar organization was for
med in Madrid known as the AS
sociation of Bankers of Central
Spain, and in October followed
the Association of Banks and
El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1919-04-08

Bankers of Northern Spain. The
chief object of these associations
is to keep in touch with and as
sist large enterprises in Spain or
abroad as well as to protect the
interests of their members.
The year 1917 was one of con-
tinued prosperity for the Bank
of Spain. The gold reserve in
creased from $241, ,296,12O at the
close of. 1916 to $37O,117,0S0 at
the close of 1917; the silver re-
serve fell from $133,471,44O to
$127, ,S96, $40, making a total me-
tallic reserve at the end of 1917
of $49S,013,920.
In March, 1917, the bank was
authorized TO increase its bank
not issues from $3.50, ,0O0, ,00H to
$5lD. 900. 900 provided the addi-
tional $4,000. 900 should be guar
antced t:- gold reserve. At the
close of 1917 the value OF the no.
tes il. circulation was S504.000.
900. compared with $423,00a, 900
in 1916. The policy OF the Bank
of Spain to store it's gold in
vaults and not put it into cireu-
lation during the year was the
subject of animated discussion
in financial circles.
Deposits and current accounts
increased during the year from
$136. .OO0,OOO to $172,OOO,0O0, and
loans from $l20,000,00O to $t31,
100000 The balance at the clo-
sc of 1917 showed net profits of
l$1I,2SI,O59, from which must be
deducted $2,96S,751 for taxes. Di-
videns were paid amounting to
S., 100000 which was $lS on eve
nv share of nominal value of 500.
There was an excess profit OF
$5,915.3OS, which the stOckhOl-

.'fa The world has just seen the
send of the most cruel, inhuma-
he and costly war in history.
:" From it's consequences not a
] single inhabitant of this world
escaped. No matter how Far
i any human being may have re-
sided from the struggle, he has
been obliged to feel the forced
burdens in the higher cost OF
s9living, or in curtailing of his
conveniences. The battlefelds
of Europe have indicated the
aiepoch of suffering, of anguished
z expectation of all the world IN
! presenting t;.is problem: "Will
.despotism triumph" "Will da'
mocracy be safe?"
. Neutral nations were woeful-
ly delinquent in holding aloof
~ from part in the great con-
flict. The spirit of evil was
y trying to dominate, but the
United States, remembering it's
70 glorious traditions, and with an
enthusiasm and determination
comparable to the sanctity of
the. cause, flung it's sword into
the balance, saved democracy
and established tranquility in
the hearts of all. Billions of
dollars, and, what is more dear,
thousands of generous lives
made up the price with which
this nation bought redemption
for humanity.
c5a The Latin American nations
should be the first to recognize
that this sacrifice must dispel
any doubts or misunderstand-
ings which had existed in the
past. The nation that has shed
the blood of it's sons and give
lavishly of its resources, both
present and future, without any
selfish motive but only in be-
half of the peace and democracy
81, the world, is a nation pre-
esminently entitled to trust anc
confidence. The country of one
hundred millions of inhabitants
the most powerful country il
the world, proposes a League
of Nations to prevent wars ant
to guarantee the independence
of other nations, no matter how
small they may be. Surely sucf

FRANCE.
FRENCH LABOR MAKES De
MANDS ON PEACE COME
RENEE.

Paris, France. - In every
quarter OF Paris as well as in
many other cities special meet
ings of syndicats, federations,
and other labor organizations
are being held to discuss the
demands of French labor upon
the peace conference. A concrete
program has been worked out by
the Confederation Generate du
Travail, which has been laid be-
fore the French government with
the demand that it be submitted
to the peace plenipotentiaries.
The chief clauses of this pro-
gram are:
1. The powers singning the
treaty of peace should proclaim
their intention of bringing
about, by international legisla-
ton upon labor, humane condi-
tons of work in safeguarding
maternity, family life, social
life, the general and professional
instruction of the child, physical
and moral health, and the dev-
elopment of the population.
Among the specific safeguards
suggested for bringing about
these humane conditions are in
cluded the fixing of fourteen
/ years as the age of admission to
labor. the establishment of a
rest day and half per week, the
universal eight-hOur day, equal
ity of wages and conditions OF
wor as. between foreign labor
and the native workers in a
given country.
2. The powers should provide
periodical international confe-
rences of labor, the conferences
to compromise delegates of the
various national organizations of
employers and employees.
An entirely new departure in
! the policy of the General Fedora
ton of Labor is its decision to
60 into politics, and to become
virtually counterpart of the
Labor Parties in other countries.

THINKING AND
WORKING


those people may be- but let not be obsessed with
the idea that ieracy the only cause OF our social
Illness as to imagine that the day when substantial
MAJORITY of the population is able to read and write
social problems will be solved by themselves, if by
i magic.
read and write the greater the probability for deve
opmen of thinking force, whose concentration will ia
ctate the solution Of the social questions But should
not for moment lose sight of the fact that after ALL
purely intellectual training and for that matter educa
ton in general is not end but means:: something
that we acquired for some ulteror purpose the stepping
stone to definite goal We educate ourselves in order
that understand our duties and our rights
If our children taught how read write and count
if the public school merely develops their minds soon we
shall have this country filled with people possessing
more or less liberal education but lacking useful know
ledge; and useful is much better citizen than
lazy intellectual rhetorician without trade.
AS far know, outside of the Agricultural College
at Mayaguez there is public institution in Porto
Rico where useful knowledge Of the kind suggested can
be acquired We need badly something like twenty trade
schools and this number not at all exaggerated when
you consider the number OF idle boys seen lettering mere
and there in town and country We have heard time and
again vague ausion made at the Legislature, about
improving our educational establishment but nothing
said in reference to trade and agricultural
Schools which MORE necessary even than the Uni
versy at Rio Piedras Yes useful than the Unlver-
ity for that place is pumping out lawyers by the hun
dreds, while no trade agricultural school will ever
graduate social parasite
Yes gentlemen of the legislature the present session
should not end without the country you represent being
provided with all it needs along the line Of educational
establishments and there is not more important item
ia that problem than agricultural and trade schools
where boys may thoroughly learn useful trades in
order that they may be able to earn honestly their living
and be perfect citizens 1t is not enough to be
THINKER, it is necessary to be a WORKER.

a country should be looked upon
with respect and admiration,
with answering faith, with be-
loved sympathy.
We Latin Americans ought to
recognize tn ose sentiments
which will give to us a better
understanding and a closer

SucK recognition will facilitate

The French, Stuecklen asserted,
treated German prisoners more
harshly than any of the other ma
tions. He said there were no COM
plants to make regarding the treat
ment Of prisoners by the authorities
of the other countries.
Private German charities, he an
