The Worlds Financial Centre.

Is New York to become the financial
centre of the world? That is ques-
ton which first arose in the minds or
boasting ignorance but to-day II has
become a question that is entitled to
be asked in seriousness. examined with
care. and answered in the light of new
conditions. There are three important
reasons why II is difficult to remove
the financial centre of the world from
London to New York. First, there
are the worn channels of two CEN
turtles Of international commerce,
channels worn so smooth that II be-
came easier for Chile to pay bill In
PERU by means OF n draft on London
than to pay direct. London Is the
established clearing house Of the
world, and by fair treatment and In
the main, by holding tightly to sound
principles OF banking, has maintained
the right to hold what she long ago
established as her own.
A Fundnh. atal Requisite.
There is a fundamental requisite.
however, IL city is TO be the hnan-
cial clearing house of the world. That
requisite Is that there should be no
uncertainties surrounding the mean
ing and value OF a deposit balance in
a bank at the clearing centre. II has
always been England's proud boast
that sterling meant gold, that a de-
post in an English bank could under
any conditions, at the will OF the de-
positor, be converted into gold and
sent by him where he would 1t
seems to me that this is an essential
that must be possessed by the inter-
national clearing house Of the world

gold standard some other method OF

this number could have been so care
fully selected that each one would
have been a star performer; that
working in this way the Y M. C. A.
could have made a pronounced sue
cess and would have had no criticism.
Had the Y. M. c. A. followed such
course, it would clearly have been
thinking much more of it's own repu-
alton than of the service it could
render 1t is obviously, ridiculous to
say that the Y. M. c. A. could have
performed greater service with 500
very competent men and women than
it performed with IL, 900 or 10000 men
and women, some of whom proved
incompetent.
"The Y. M. c. A. never solicited
money for the purpose Of giving away
its canteen supplies. If the Y. M. c. A.
had given away canteen supplies in
France on the scale of it's sales. it
would have spent in this activity alone
at least as much money as it's entire
expenditures in France for all It's
activities. The constant policy of the
Y. M. c. A. was to sell canteen sup
plies as nearly as possible at cost,
and to bend every effort, when fighting
was in progress, to furnish the men
at the front with supplies free Of
charge where it was at all possible
to get the goods to them.
1.-THE Y. M. C. AS definite program
in Europe from the beginning. and
continuously. has been to bend every
effort and use every dollar it could
obtain to occupy the leisure time of
the soldiers, and to do this with vari-
Gus forms of entertainment, athletics.
worth while educational activities, etc.
Can there be any doubt that every
father and mother, every wife and
sister, and the men themselves, will
approve the Y. M. c. AS course in
this respect? Is 1t not infinitely better
to do everything possible to occupy
the leisure time and to fill the long
dreary evenings of the soldiers than
to use the money in giving away a
larger quantity of cigarettes. choco-
lates and other similar articles?
THE Y. M. c. A. tried to respond to
every call that the Army made on it
1t never hesitated to tackle any job
it was asked to undertake.; 1t did not
sidestep any task it was asked to
perform. 1t took the position that it
was in Europe to do all it could, as
best it could; that when it was called
on to render service of any kind, its
duty was to respond in the same spirit
that the soldiers did, and not hold back
because adverse circumstances might
make it impossible to meet with max
imum success. The Y. sought service,
not fame. Surely every contributor OF
money will approve the Y. M. c. AS
course in this respect.
"The vast work it has accomplished
and is accomplishing in Europe can
never be gagged at its true worth ex-
cept by those who have seen it in its
entirety. Whatever imperfections may
have existed the results achieved are
unuuestionably so beneficial as to be
source of deep satisfaction to those
who so unselfishly served the cause
and those who so generously contrib
uted the funds that made the work
possible"
