MAINTAINS JAPAN
MUST HAVE LARGE
NAVY FOR DEFENSE

TOXIC. Nov. 1s.-The Kokumin
Shimbun publishes an article point
ing out the difficulties involved on
the reduction OF naval ornaments.
It says that the fact that the hnal
victory won by the allies was due
largely TO the great naval power of
the British empire will surely be a
bar to the solution Of the armament
reduction problem TO be dealt with
by the League of Nations Above
all, Japan being surrounded by the
sea, must depend upon commodities
imported from other countries.
The Kokumin adds Stat even If
the present conditions of the navy
be made the standard Of the reduc-
ton Of armament, Great Britain and
America will not feel danger for
their national defense But japan
has not even a suffciency for de
Tense and cannot admit that the
present condition of the navy is the
standard of armament The Koku-
min also expressed the opinion that
it would be unfair 10 make the
length Of coast line the standard of
the restriction of armament.

What Other Editors Say
KEEP TO THE FRONT.

"You may have been in business fifty years. but
the buying public can forget you in a week." says
The Meter (Ga.) Advertiser.
1t points out that this is especially the case where
the regular appearance of firms advertising in the
home paper is, for any reason, interrupted.
For chats the time when the other house makes
good in it appeal for patronage, through the paper
And another big mistake is made when one "per-
mits the idea to remain in his head that he is merely
doing the paper favor by giving it some advertis-
ing and then"
1t goes without saying that the business results of
steady, well directed advertising sufficiently refute the
idea that the financial benefits are all one way; the
enterprsing, up-todate business man doesn't enter
tain it at ALL!
The editor of the little home paper in the small
town has often heard this: 'In give you an 'ad, to
help you along"
but he knows-and the town itself soon comes
to knOw-that the help is mutual and that the paper
gives far more than it receives.
On hearing of new town the first question of
Business is: as there paper published there?"
And, if answered in the affirmative, the next
thing of interest the advertising patronage of the pa
per, index of the towns business
That's the way it goes. The paper backed by
the business of the town. puts the town on the map
and Business from far and away takes the road
to it.
The national advertisers, who spend millions each
year, know the value of keeping everastngly at it."
so that the buying public will not miss them from
the advertising pages. They can't afford to run the
financial risk of being for moment forgotten by
public that's likely to forget and pass to fields
of business opportunity
The buying public is the keep a-going" prin-
cipe, and that's the way of the advertiser, who has
something to offer He realizes that publicity is the
essential thing He must keep to the front-Atlanta

A MIDDLE IN CLOCKS.

The state press appears to be very much in dis
agreement to the time that will be standard for
Georgia as result of the Barnes bill which was passed
by the recent session of the legislature and of the
subsequent repeal of the Daylight saving act by Con-
gress in spite of President Wilson's two vetoes Mr.
Barnes, the author of the Georgia BILL says it is all
very simple and explains it thus;
'The act which I introduced at the last session of
the general assembly, regulating the standard time all
over Georgia is very simple There is absolutely moth
ing in this law which should give rise to the least con-
fusion if the law itself the proclamation of the gov
enor once read In order however that the people

EXCHANGE RATES AND COTTON.

Here's another angle of the cotton problem that
does present itself to the citizen of these
parts every day. but which nevertheless affects every
citizen of the South every day.
con July 21st cotton fell off as much as Sc
a bale without any change in the weather condi-
tons which affect the amount of cotton produced" says
"The Street." New York financial weekly, in bit
of how the cheapening of the British pound
in America vitality affects this counry-and incidental
ly explaining matter that has been less of
puzzle to the not versed in international finance
"The Street. goes on:
MANY people who had stared uncomprehendng-
y on quotation for the English pound at ABS were sur
prised They failed to realize that commerce demands
distribution well as production that much American
cotton is bought by English mill owners in the Liver
pool market, and that any financial obstacle in the
way of their purchasing our cotton would jam our
warehouses with unsold cotton and bring down its
price
Normally the English pound is worth $4.86 2-3.
Owing to the disocation of the worlds finances due
to the great debts piled up during the war; England
owes much more than her, that English
drafts America plentiful land hence cheap
err, than American drafts on England This fact
the dollar to rise in terms of the pound in both
countries, by the usual laws of supply and demand.
Already the English pound is worth $435, which means
that the pound will buy in American goods only 80 IL
Per centan extra cost to the British buyer of almost
10 12 per cent Under these circumstances it is ap-
parent why English buying of American cotton de-
creased and why in the surplus of American cot
ton being grown over the amount being sold, caused
break in the price of the bale Countless other
similar instances could be cited of the difficulty of
America in selling her goods to Europe, under the
existing conditions of foreign exchange.
ut remains for the American bankers to main
tain the highways of commerce by extending credits
to Europe and facilitating the sale of foreign securities
here, to bring exchange normal and thus
give an outlet for American production as well as
speed the reconstruction of Europe.
Exchange figures these days tell an interesting
story And not only the specialists, but the public
generally must learn to realize their significance"
