ment of interest on certain loans, it is
unable to bring the figures for expen-
diture in 1919 below $4,000 ,O00, 900
francs. NJ. Ribot says that the total
income of the French people is 100000
100000 francs. Thus it is necessary
for the state to demand half the re-
sources of its citizens. Of course. it
is impossible to go as far as that. The
government thus far seems on the road
to obtaining 9,o0O,OOo,oOo francs. and
M. Ribot thinks it is possible to get
l1,OO0,0O0,000 francs. That is large
figure for a nation that has Just lost
100000 of its best producers and had
six departments invaded departmen
which produced alone one-seventh of
the total treasury receipts. Thus,
whatever happens, six or eight billions
are lacking this year.

The Dollar in f Foreign Exchange

Dealers in foreign exchange last
week reported somewhat larger offer
ings of sterling bills, which indicated
a broader export movement of COM
modities. Changes in rates as a
general thing were small and without
particular significance.
The foreign exchange manager of
one Of the largest of the Wall Street
banks expressed the opinion at the
close of the week that no great increase
in foreign exchange business could be
looked for until after the peace terms
had been definitely settled.
Further large credits are expected to
be granted to foreign countries by
American banking groups. Belgian in
terests who recently obtained $50,00O,-
600 here on acceptance credit, are now
IN the market for much larger
amount. Other similar arrangements
will probably be made by other coun-
tries in order to obtain credit for the
purchase of commodities.
If you calculate the cost of the dol
lar In term, of foreign money at par
value-that is, if you were buying dol
lars with pounds, marks or francs-its
value at the close of last week, as COM
pared with year ago, would be about

From the Devastatio Wrought by the Hun

if not entirely lost The remainder,
borrowed or bought by the state from
individuals, went to New York as col
lateral against loans made before Amer
lea entered the war. To-day France is
no longer a creditor for 30,O00,O 900, but
debtor for 1850, 100000 francs, and
instead of seeing Sillio.: and half in
gold flowing annually into hor Golfers
in the form of interest, a similar sum
must flow outward. This means dis
tinct andlasting mpoverishment
even all these sacrifices were not
sufficient, and it was necessary to go to
the Bank Of France. Supported by the
Bank of Algeria, that great French in
stitution advanced to the state $780,
100000 francs in banknotes. This is
at once the easiest and most dangerous
form of loan. For q while it gives the
appearance OF greater nominal wealth
by the multiplication of monetary SYM
bols. but it reduces their purchasing
power, contributes to an increase in the
cost of living, and in the long run may
produce dangerous social uneasiness.
Therefore, the French government has
as it's first duty the task of reimburs-
ing the bank from taxes on products.
"Observe, then, that in the struggle
just ended France spent her resources
and credit to the extreme limit Over
and above taxes drawn from her exist
ing wealth and savings she spent 1O8,-
200,000,000 francs of her future wealth
in the form OF bank notes, II 300 900, 900
francs in the form Of foreign credit,
27,500, 100000 francs in other securi-
ties, whence her war debt of 1853 ,0OO,-
100000 francs. But If you add to this
the value of property destroyed and
pillaged by the enemy and of machn-
cry carried off, plus $4,000 0OO0O
francs in pensions TO mutilated or
phans, capitalized at 10000, 100000
francs, you find that the four-year
struggle leaves France in debt to the
extent of about 25O,OOO, 100000 francs
"This, at the very moderate interest
of per cent, represents an annual
burden Of 12,ooO,ooO,oOO francs. The
total French budget before the war
was 5,oO0,000,000 francs. Admitting
that civil service expenses remained the
same-which is inexact. for they have
increased considerably bly-the budget for
1919 reaches O0,OOO,OO0 francs. al

"The whole world is inflated. A
great opportunity, therefore, awaits
the country which is the first to be
able to begin marking down it's
p;:c"s toward peace levels. The
world needs US and what we can pro-
duce. 1t needs copper, cotton, steel,
machinery and many other things.
Some of these it will take at any
price, but it will take more if our
prices are such as to invite foreign
trade" Such is the opinion of A. c..
Miller, of the Federal Reserve
Board. If this were country de-
tached, a world by itself, it would
make no difference whether the level
OF prices were the present level or
three or four times as high, provided
the wages of labor and all other
things rose correspondingly. But
we have to do business with other
nations, and the lower our prices the
more we can sell them.

Waiting Anxiously

do you understand, now, the anxious
lmpatlence with which the whole ma

Parls conference in regard to the war
lndemnities payable by Germany? To
be sure, we know that the enemy can
not give back all the war made US lose.
She herself is much exhausted and
other nations have just claims.
Our lnsistence is not that of a vic.
tor exacting a large share of BOOTY. but
OF nation unjustly and cruelty

allow it to recover. Our demands are
not born of the love of money. We
know American soldiers were some
times shocked by the excessive prices
asked by greedy peasants But let
them compare the dollars they have
lost with the sacrifice these same peo-
pie have borne so heroically. TO un-
derstand is to pardon says our old
proverb. So we need not only Ameri-
can indulgence, but also active SYM

TO American capital, as in the past
america looked to French credit.
