CREDIT BRAKES.

When we find business complaining be-
cause people buy freely, it is surely time to do
some sober thinking Ordinarily large volume of
buying is taken as sign of healthy prosperity. To-
day it is taken as danger signal.
Said Harry j. Tregge, secretary-treasurer of
the National Association of Credit Men, addressing
the Associated Dress Industries of America:
We must prepare for the reaction, the
peak has been reached. The wage Garner must be
cautioned against his wastefuI investments his ex-
travagance, or the time will come when he will re-
gret bis reckessness. Speculation must be curbed;
gambling in all FORMS especially stocks is an Amer
lean fault, if not disease.
You dress material men have found no diff

what the price. This is unhealthy, dangerous. his
cannot go on indefinitely; brakes must be applied
Mr., Tregge cautioned the wholesalers to ad-
viz. customers not to overbuy. Conservatism is
necessary protect the credit system of the coun-
try, he said.
The men to whom he spoke in position
to follow his advice, and apply the brakes In a
still better position are the members Of the asso-
citation the speaker represented. The credit men of
big commercial houses can exert powerful infu-
ence over the expenditure of the nation. For some
time they have been pretty liberal with their credit
There are now hints of Tightening up. 1t may be
unfortunate that the brakes are applied in this for
chile way when the public ought to apply them it
self by curbing its extravaganza. But better have
them applied forcibly than not at all.
Nobody wants a business panic. If restricted
credits will bring the great mass of spenders back
a normal rate of expenditure, and thus stabilize
business and guarantee a continuance OF normal
production and consumption, on with the brakesI

FINANCING EUROPE.

There are scores of industrial centers in
Poland, says Henry Morgenthau, former United
States ambassador to Turkey, just back from an
economic investigation of the new Polish Republic
where factories are shut down and the workers
idle for only one reason-the lack of raw mate
rials.
IF ship them the raw materials on
long time credits they can start working and the
danger of anarchy will be avoided But if we al
low these idle workmen to starve Poland will be
plunged into anarchy and the same condition will
be brought about in other European countries. Pol
and is only one of many countries we must help
but conditions there typical of all the others
y visited many of the camps of Russian ref
ugees-men and women who have fed from the
Bolshevism in Russia. The conditions in these
camps are beyond description--scores of families
huddled in small frame buildings with only army
rations to nourish them and without the simplest
sanitary arrangements Tens of thousands of men
women and children are going to die of starvation

in Europe this winter no matter what we do so 1t
is the very least men can do to send over raw
materials to give those who are living in hope of
the future Here in America we have enormous
stocks of raw materials and we in position to
finance such countries in Europe are in need OF
immediate assistance If we fail to give aid when
we are in position to do So our failure will never
be forgotten.
Mr. Morgenthau is urging the shipping OF
raw materials on long credit terms. He says, We
have got to aid in the reconstruction of Europe to
save ourselves.
This is quite true. No nation any longer stands
alone. The comfort and prosperity of every no
ton hinges on the comfort and prosperity OF every
other.
Herbert Hoover, who is in position to know,
says what Europe needs is to take off its coat
and go to work" Sound advice. But the funda-
mental condition of work is materials. 1t the
supply of these depends upon Americas sending

q Whathe Automobile Industry Means to the United States 4
By L. J. FAULKNER.

Few people of the immensely of the automo-
tive industry in this country.
The following. comparison may to impress upon
the mind how the making of motive vehicles has grown
in only little more than decade.
The total value of automobiles, based on wholesale
prices made in 1917 was $917470936; this was about
twice the gross income received by the twelve largest in
surance companies.
The amount of capital invested in the industry is est
mated to be 81 OOOOO which greater by $780,
100000 than the capitalization of all the national banks i'll
1917 1t is greater by far than the combined outstanding
capital stock of the Pennsylvania railroad the New York
Central, Chicago and Northwestern and the Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul systems 1t is twofold greater than
the combined outstanding capital stock of the entire Stand
ard Oil group of thrty-ive companies
1t is greater than the receipts Of the United States
Government in 1916, which $1,122,576000. 1t is
four greater than the combined outstanding of
all the steel in the country with the exception of
the United Steel Corporation 1t exceeds by ST 000
100000 the combined capital of all the insurance com
panies.
Even in the making of parts the figures are stagger
ing The capital employed $3360OOOO0 is nearly 80 per
cent greater than the combined capital stock of all the
gas and electric companies listed the New York Stock
Exchange.
In 1917 I737151 passenger cars and 128 l57 CONNER
cia cars trucks produced.
Owing to the war, the output of passenger fell to
O754 in 1913 while the output Of commercial
to 219056, a 20 per cent increase over 1917.
Federal taxes paid alone sales during the year
ended September 80, 1918, amounted to $32813678
Up 10 DeceOer tDeFe were registered III the united
States 5945442 motive vehicles Of these 100000 were
trucks.
The minimum output of trucks estimated for 1919 is
328,0O0; that of passenger cars, 100000
The industry ranks the third largest in the country
After reading these startling figures say that
the industry could have been built up from the standpoint

MINING NOTES OF INTEREST
 FROM ALL PARTS OF TERRITORY

Upon reliable authority it is learned that the American Shelter and Re fining company, one of the largest smelling companies in the world, has sent men to Hyder to have them in- vestigate properties on which the corporation has options. If these properties show up as we'll as repre- scented, it is believed that the com pany will start development work in the near future.
 Under present conditions, transpor- tatiOn conditions are such that only the very high grade ore can be ship ped from the mines in the country adjacent to the upper Portland canal, and there is a possibility that the smelter company may see fit to build a plant there large enough to make it possible for great development in the whole district.
 The representatives of the Ameri- can Smelling and Refining company left Seattle a few days ago for the Portland canal district near Ketchi- kan. They went to Vancouver and from there expected to go by way of Prince Rupert for Hyder
 The organization of a $5,OOO,OOO corporation for the development of the Premier mining company proper ty on Salmon river, in the Portland canal district of Alaska, was recently announced in Spokane. Plans are under way now for the extensive de- velopment of the property, which was formerly known as the Bush mine, and it is expected that within a few years it will be one of the largest producers of copper, gold and silver in America.
 R. K. Neil, manager of the com pany, while in Ketchikan ten days ago, told of some of the extensive PIduS WHICH Iu6 COIupduy nave uI- der way, and which will mean the employment of many hundreds of men. He expressed the belief at that time that the development in that district would be so great that the population would be counted in the thousands before five years roll by.
 During the last year, including last summer and this summer, the cOm- pany is spending approximately $1O0,- 900 iii road building alone, in addi- tion to what the Canadian and Amer ican governments are spening. He also reported that the future of the mine is absolutely assured in that great body of high grade ore has been uncovered and traced for a great distance.
 Because of poor transportation fa- cilities, it has been necessary to throw aside and not ship ore running as high as $1OO to the ton, taking only that which ran into much greater values.

J. A. Haney, who returned from the Kantishna district last week with a second batch of ore samples from the silver-lead proposition which he is developing there stated yesterday that the work is still going ahead with satisfactory progress and that he had no cause for complaint. The samples were brought here for andy sis and assay by the mining expert ment station where they are now be- ing worked on.
 Six men are engaged in the devel- opment work at this time and have driven a shaft considerable distance in the ledge. Rainfall has hampered the operations to a certain extent but with the present brand of weather on tap the rate of progress will be much better. MT. Haney will return to the Kantishna in a few days for more samples.-Fairbanks Citizen.
 Unless there is considerable more rainfall than has so far visited that district, in the Tolovana country dur ing the remainder of the summer, the output of Livengo0d district will be materially curtailed, in the opinion of a number of mining men. More than a month has now elapsed since there has been a fall of rain suf- ficiently large to supply water for sluicing purposes, and if such a con- dition of affairs continues the miners of the region will not be able to wash their gold from the gravels no matter how rich their ground may be.
 Only once in the entire month has there been chance that rain would fall in the district. At that time the overhanging clouds filled the Tolo- vanites with delight, and everyone prepared to Splash Ter through" knowing from previous experiences that the downpour would be of short duration, but their delight turned to dismay when the rain hit only the low end of the creek including the town of Brooks, not visiting the upper end of the creek where the greater part of the mining is now being done.
 The gold which reached Fairbanks on the last boat from the Tolovana country, however, is ample evidence that the Tolovanites are not idle.
