L gestions and counter suggestions for
reconstruction" one feels sense Of So,
surity in per1sing John Galsworthy's lat
est collection of papers, another Sheof..
Galsworthy is one of the few important
writer's who have during the war and dur
ing the short period since the signing OF
the armistice shown bigness Of soul and
vision which we are led to expect from an
author Of his calibre. Such sanity is not
observable in all writers, even those few
whose artistic achievements are on q level
with Mr.. Galsworthy's His point Of
view is admirably stated in one Of the
most Illuminating papers Of this new
book, The Balance Sheet:
. The writer of these specula-
lions says to himself: let me, at all
events, try to eliminate any bias, and see
the whole thing as should an umpire
one Of those pure beings in white coats,
purged Of all the prejudices, passions and
predictions of mankind. Let me have no
temperament for the time being, for I
have to set down-not what would be the
effect on me if were in their place, or
what would happen to the future If I
could have my way, but what would hap
pen all the same if were not alive. Only
from an impersonal point of view, if there
be such thing, am I going to get even
aDDroximatnly at fhe truth -
And the writer proceeds to determine,
so far as he is able, what will be the physi-
cal effect Of the war on the soldier work.
man. The problem is set squarely before
US. Without prejudice, without cant,
without flag waving, Galsworthy sets
down the facts as he sees them: "On the

The certification made to all intents and
purposes the withdrawal of that amount
of money from circulation because the
banks had to consider the amount locked
Nd subject to withdrawal by check. Tho
certified check was deposited in a safety
vault. Anything more dismal than the
resulting bank statement would be hard
to find. On the following Monday or
Tue sday the check would be redeposited
in the bank. and the amount that 1t
called for would be corespondingly re-
leased, and money a plenty would then
be found. 1T is highly possible" says

The thing that II Is most important to

opinion OF one market authority, is that
the fundamental factors of crops, foreign
trade and general business solvency, are
still with US and that II is a temporary
exhaustion in the supply of call money
which Is bringing about the perfectly
characteristic decline. This authority
takes the position that the decline will
be completed by July 10 and the market
then will be in period of accumulation
