tion, II would be impossible for
goods produced IN the United states
to compete successfully with those
Of other nations In the markets OF
the world. About one-third of the
worlds monetary gold Is already
held by tho United States.
Nor is IL considered wise for the
United states to accept payment In
goods. even II this were practicable.
The nations OF Europe will be bustly
engaged In work OF reconstruction
for some time to come. While they
will naturally make IA great effort
to Increase their external trade. IL
seems Improbable that the ship
ment OF goods TO the United states
will be OF sufficient volume even TO
offset the rapidly increasing exports
OF the United States. particularly In
view of the fact that the productive
capacity OF its industries has Been
greatly augmented during the last
four years.
II seems to he the general opinion
among, bankers that the most prac-
tical way In which the interest pay
ments OF other nations to the United
States may be met Is for the United
States TO purchase the obligations OF

that the welfare OF other nations, as
well as that OF the United States,
would be best served by the United
States to the debtor nations in the
shape OF long term loans. The ex-
port trade OF the United States can
apparently grow In no other way.
1t Is thus seen that the greater the
service which the United States can
render the rest of the world, the
larger WILL be It's own share of pros
perlty, The war has put the United
States In IA position to furnish capital
and products to other nations, and
, still II has an ample amount OF both
for It's own industries. while various
other nations arc yet In great need
OF capital and supplies The United
States cannot well prosper while Its
neighbors are In need. II IL an act
OF philanthropy alone which should
lmpel the United States to extend
the helping hand, but Il Is daily be-
coming more evident TO thoughtful
people that the more quickly the
war-ridden nations of Europe are

be for the entire world.

Wheat Problem Not Easy.

II is agreed that the nations
guaranty to the wheat ralsers must
be carried out In good Saith and a
huge appropriation for the purpose
has passed one house OF congress.
The method to be used. however. is
still undecided. 1t is reported that
farmers are proceeding with their
plans TO sow spring wheat, notwith-
standing the threat OF a great sur
plus. They have already prepared
the ground and gone to other ex-
pense. But II they could he induced
to substitute oats, rye, barley and
corn, for which there is certain to
be great demand, an adjustment
OF damages might be made which
would prove cheaper to the govern
ment and also simplify the general
food situation.
There has been much talk OF the
world price" OF wheat. but the diff
ficulty OF arriving Mt 1t is great, The
New York Annallst shows tina. then
liz uncertainty as to the demand as
we'll as to the available supply. Hhe
American annual per capita per son-
sumption was Ga bushels before the
war. But how many Americans have
been converted to substitutes as n
result of war conditions? An average
decrease Of n bushel In consumption
through this cause would add over
10 900 900 bushels to- our surplus
There is even greater uncertainty a.
to the demand from both the bel
ligerent and neutral nations of Eu-
rome About 100000 men were
Killed In this war and the financial
distress of hundreds OF millions OF
people may reduce the average con-
sumption. On tho other hand fig
ures as to the world supply are un-
dependable. There are rumors OF n
great Russian wheat crop. hut~they
will be received with suspicion.
Furthermore, the transportation ia
cilities are SO poor and the attitude
OF the bolsheviki on exports so un-
certain, that a Russian surplus can

CLOTHED IN BRIEF AUTHORITY.

Instances ot brutality among up
start officers In the army should
not cause undue alarm. Such things
have been ever since history was
first written. There are some men
who. when clothed In brief authority,
by those under their control All
armies have had them and the pres
ent one, though an exceptionally good
one In many ways, cannot he expect
ed to he free from these posts Such
men cannot ho regarded as typical
OF tho generality ot officers, and tho
number guilty OF such atroclous CON
duct is remarkably small, II should
he remembered that almost over
night the army was expanded from
an insignificant forco TO over 5000
600. II was Inevitable that some
unfit men should gain high place.
what we should wonder at is that
there were so few OF them.
We cannot afford. since We have
succeeded so we'll in humbllng and
depriving OF their authority the un-
speakable Hun officers who were

who have introduced Prusslnn meth
ods into an organization OF high
spirited young Americans II Is
necessary 10 maintain discipline in
any sort OF an army. hut II was not
necessary to sentence a private sol
dlcr TO 40 years imprisonment for n
trivial disespect for petty officer.
Nobody but a Hun would have
thought of such thing. and an Of
ficer who would be party TO such
an outrage has no business in an
American army.
It is hard to say Just what punish
ment should be mcted out TO mer
