NO INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE.

Again there is a demand that English be ad-
opted as "the international language. This is
more easily said than done, as the British people
know. They have long cherished this ambition
because their f%ar-flung empire includes many
tongues and races, and, like Americans, they do
not welcome the trouble Of learning other langu-
ages. Perhaps English is the official tongue of
more square miles than any other single language.
In the western hemisphere alone English is doubt
less the speech of the greatest number of people,
Spanish and Portuguese cover the largest acreage.
In Europe of the past more people have under
stood French, the language of diplomacy, than
any other one language, but English is now also
widely understood among the educated. Unlike
the English and Americans, Continental Euro
peans make it a business to learn the more i'm
portant foreign languages, the French people be-
ing exceptions owing to the wide knowledge of
their own tongue.
Lack of knowledge of French cost many Amer
lean lives during the war. II was impossible to
provide fully in advance for such a war, and as
such another may not be seen for centuries, the
training of soldiers will not include fluency in the
four or five chief languages. But all our diplo-
mats and business agents abroad ought to be well
acquainted with the language of the country to
which they are sent. For we need not expect to
see an international language, although the
position held by Great Britain and the increasing
influence of the United States will undoubtedly
multiply the number of students of English in
all parts of the world.

Emotional Finance

"American finance is an old woman
with shaken nerves, who jumps at the
sight of mouse" remarked leading
international banker yesterday. That
was the picturesque way in which he
described the timidity that has devel-
cles over the present demonstrations
of labor's dissatisfaction over existing
conditions. He said that British
finance had steadier nerves and that it
had been able during the last six
months to withstand mightier dis
plays of labor, uprisings without a
depression of security values and loss
of confidence in the situation. The
British, he said, were more hard
headed, and believed that the common
sense of the people would react against
unreasonable proposals, whereas Amer
leans are more emotional and easily
excited

But Bankers Have Automobiles

TWO bankers who rank extremely
high among American financiers took
the position yesterday when asked to
comment on the strike threat of the
lnterborough Rapid Transit Company
that perhaps the epidemic of strikes
may serve salutary purpose. If the
strikers advance from one "unreasona-
Bile" demand to another, the bankers
argued, point will soon be reached
where the strike business will be over
done, and the general public, greatly
lnconvenenced and rritated, will rise
up and put rebellious labor "in its
proper place" By this the bankers
did not mean that labor would be
treated unjustly, but that labor, get
ting justice, would be required to rem
der definite service to society and to
consider the needs of the whole coun-
try in relation to it's own wants.

Sterling Exchange SIumps

AS expected by leading foreign
exchange dealers, sterling exchange
slumped again yesterday The closing
price for cables was S4.28A, compared
with $4.31A on Thursday. Yesterdays
rate was less than cents above the
new low record established last month.
The break was due to no new factor,
but to the general foreign trade situa-
ton IN America, which is great ex-
porter to Europe but a slim importer
therefrom. Many sterling bills against
the sale of cotton ard foodstuffs and
manufactured goods have been crowd
ing into the market.

Foreign Selling of Bonds

During the last week the tape on the
Stock Exchange bond ticker has been
registering quotations on bond trans
actions frequently followed by the de-
sIgnation seller 30.' This means that
the seller Of the bonds has the riqh.
to deliver the bonds any time within
thirty days instead of Immediately. as
is the case when trading is done reg
uar way" The assumption is that the
temperance of the selling of this
character indicates sales of bonds in
this market for foreign account. pre-
sumably Germany. Before the United
States entered the war large amounts
of bonds were sold here in that man
ner, the seller reserving the right to
deliver the bonds within thirty days. so

Judge Julius H. Mayer in the Fed
eral court yesterday issued an order
authorizing James r. Sheffield, trustee
in bankruptcy for the Interborough
Consolidated Corporation, to renew a
