SALVATION FOR CASH

Time was when people rejoced to know that salvation is

BUSINESS efficiency has grown on us so much in these latter
days that we do not value the gift and prefer paving cash for
it. and thus acquit our sinful debts. According 10 the dstn-

so many experts that the layman feels that his money can do
more good than he can, besides relieving him of personal service
and a contribution Of time, and he prefers paying cash and being
done with it.
The old-fashioned Christian, who was constantly preoccu-
pied with the salvation of his soul, appears narrow and selfish
IN modern eyes, who believe in making money as fast and az
much as possible, and giving the surplus to Others for their aid
and comfort.
The spot cash system Of crasing our deinuuences has some
advantages, to be sure, but it does away with personal service
and the discipline that results from it. This is a serious loss
to the individual, who must offer himself will humility and a
contrite heart. In the rush and hurry of the present people

SHORT TERM BONDS TO
BEAR HIGHER INTEREST

WASHINGTON, April S.-The S per
cen interest rate borne by the war
finance corporations new one-year
bonds, approved by the treasury, Is not
to be taken as an index of the rate
on Victory Liberty loan notes, 1t was
stated authoritatively today.
The treasury believes, it was ex-
planned, that securities which are not
direct obligations of the government
must bear from Y to q Of l per cent
higher interest than government notes
or bonds, and that consequently there
can be slight relationship between the
rates Of the war finance corporation
bonds and of the Victory notes.
Suggestions that the Victory issue

banking and other commercial inter-
ests, but apparently the proposals are
not looked on ~lfavorably. Rates of Az
or even Az, as carried by the past
two issues of bonds. have been dis
cussed by treasury officials much more
han the higher rates. Secretary Glass
is known to believe that 8 per cent
Is entirely too high for government
notes partially tax exempt.
The rate and other terms Of the loan
will be determined within the next
week or 10 days and announced only
selling campaign opens.
Printing of the notes has been
started by the bureau of engraving,
and thousands are being turned out
daily, to be completed when terms are
decided. The notes as partially finished
bear interest coupons and in most
other respects resemble Liberty bonds.

PAY DAY

When the dance is over the next question always is the pay
ment of the piper, and the great fouryear war dance, in which
the nations have been engaged, has left many pipers to be paid.
From best information accessible Germany will have to pay in
the neighbOrhood OF ~sXty-three billions of dollars, and will be
given fifty years in which to pay it.
This IS an enormous sum, but Germany is a wealth
producing nation, and statstGans claim that she can pay it in
nttrates alone, of which she has a practical monopoly. Germany
specahzes in other things that the world needs. During the
war, when the ordinary supplies could not be obtained from for
egn countries because of the embargo, German chemists
extracted a fbrous substance from wood pulp called cellulose,
and by processing this it was made into cloth, which served
every purpose of wool and cotton. The garments made from
it are light, durable and comfortable, and can be washed without
injury.
OF this substance is made leather that has been used sue
cessfuHy for boots and shoes, as well as for harness, and only an
expert can tell the difference.
Ot this substance has been made tubing and pipes for water.

lead, is noncombustible and destined to grow into a great indus
Try. Because 1t is easily handled and shipped, owing to its light
ness, which is no more than paper, products made from it will
compete in the markets of the world with similar products made
from metal or other substances. In this way the Germans can
pay OIL their debts incurred during the war.
VI course the prospect of being in industrial slavery for
matt a century, until almost everyone now living is dead, is not
a pleasing one, but it is better than annihilation, which appar-
emily was the only other alternative. Germany will paw out,
if given time.

HUNS ABILITY TO PAY
FOR FOOD IS QUESTIONED

PARIS. April S.-Germany's ability
to continue paying for the food ship
ments made under the Brussels agree
ment. it is learned, can not be deter
mined before April 15, when the Ger
man government expects to have a re-
port OF the surrender to the govern
ment of German-owned foreign securi-
ties which is in progress.
The allied financial delegates, mean
while, continue the general discussion
with the German delegation at Senlis
of the value and availability of par
ticular securities, so that when the
German representative on surrendered
securities is received it will be easy
to calculate to what extent they can
be used in financing food imports.
The export of raw materials from
Germany, which will also play a role
in the payment for food, Is In progress
across the German frontier to adjacent
neutrals, but because OF the disturbed
industrial conditions the amount is
rather disappointing.
The German delegates at Sen'ls per-
sist in their requests that Germany
be given foreign credit to be used in
purchasing food. There has been no
change, however, in the disposition OF
the allies to insist on payment in cash,
securities and exports.

PRICE STANDARDS
LEGALITY PROBED
Some Advisors of Government
Believe Standardization Is
Violation of Law.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Legality Of
the procedure OF the department Of
commences Industrial board in seek
ing to determine standard prices for
staple commodities still is under care
full consideration by government agen-
cies, it was learned yesterday after.
noon. Pending further working out of
the plan, Attorney-General Palmer will
not pass on the legality question, and
no request for an opinion Is now pend
ing before him. He has not taken Of
ficial and formal cognizance OF the in
dustrtal boards activities and will re-
Train from doing so at least temporar-
lily.
This definition of the attitude Of the
department of justice today threw an
other element Of uncertainty into the
dustrial boards activities and will re-
threatened with disruption by the rail-
o administrators refusal to accept
the boards prices for steel. Clarifica-
ton OF the relations between the board
and the railroad administration await
ed he conferences which Director-Gen-
eral Hines and George n. Peek, chair
man of the board, are expected to hold
within a day or two.
Some legal advisers Of Attorney-Gen-
eral Palmer believe clearly that the
standardiZing of prices, as evidenced
last week by the uniform bids on steel
for the navy, constitutes a violation of
trust laws, or at least that the prac-
tice might soon develop into violations.
This attitude, however, is based to a
certain extent on hypothetical consid-
erations which the department Of JUS
tice would not recognize in any formal
action. Neither is this attitude to be
considered as necessarily indicating the
final view that the attorney-general will
take, II was explained.
The legality of the industrial boards
course, however, is not as immediate
a problem before that body as the
practical question Of whether the rail-
road administration, now the govern
ment's largest agency purchasing guam
titles Of steel, coal and other materials,
will agree to the 705 prices already set
for steel or to other prices to be de-
termined In the future. If a practical
settlement Of the dispute car be found,
it is considered probable that the de-
partment of justice then will be asked
formally for an opinion on the legality.
