To Include Able Men.

To Include Able Men.
This council, which includes some
of the ablest financial and business
minds of America and Europe, has
firmly but quietly and without excit-
ing animosity, been supplanting the
military officials who had been deal
ing with the same subjects. It was
felt the handling of these questions
by the military was only incidental to
the war and that the time had come
to place them in hands trained to
deal with them. It was this opinion,
held by the supreme war council.
which caused the economic council to
be created, as it was desired they be
dealt with on the safe and sound
lines of civilian experience.
OF more permanent value is ex-
pected to be the work Of two other
organizations created by the peace
conference. These are the economic
drafting commission and the financial
drafting commission. These include
distinguished financiers from all the
Entente countries. The economic
drafting commission already has its
report before the peace conference
awaiting action by that body. It's high
importance may be judged from the
fact that it had undertaken to make
practical application of the third of
President Wilson's IA points, namely,
that declaring for the removal as far
as possible of all economic barriers
and the establishment of an equality
of trade conditions among all Of the
nations consenting to the peace and
associating themselves for its main
tenance.
The problem involves the right Of
nations to discriminate between
friends and foes in their trade rela-
tions and the propriety Of continuing
the many special trade treaties with
their differential tariff which in the
past SO often have jeopardised the
peaceful relations Of states.
The financial drafting commission
! is dealing with another subject Of the
greatest moment to the business
world. 1t is the commission which
will make the insistent demand on
| some of the European nations for the
pooling of all the credits, debts and
| resources of the nations-a PROPOSE
| ton which seems certain to be
strongly resisted by the American
representatives.
OF scarcely secondary Importance is
the task of obtaining information as
to the financial resources, present and
prospective, of the enemy countries,
in order that the commission on rep
aration may complete its work which
is based on the idea, one Of the dele
gates intimated, Of making the enemy
pay all that he can safely be made

innovation in connection with the
"News of the World" Some weeks
ago the paper refused to renew con-
tracts with advertisers. 1t raised its
selling price to an equivalent for the
American three cents and changed its
size SO that it could be self-support-
ing from its circulation.
It has always been thought that
such a policy could not be carried
out, and his experiment Is therefore
watched with interest. OF course
the paper is small. but each para

is of the best. Sir George is one of
the greatest publishing experts in
