REVIEW OF AFFAIRS IN
FINANCIAL WORLD

Although distribution of the neces-
stiles of life probably is the larger
problem in Nevada, opinion seems to
be becoming more general that the
one great economic need of the world
today is greater production. The
seeming scarcity of commodities of
nearly every description is manifest
ed in higher and still higher prices,
and a corresponding increase in the
cost of living. To be sure, much of
this scarcity is artificial, and this is
a. menace which demands immediate
and radical treatment by lawmakers
of the nation.
The apparent scarcity is accentu-
ated by inadequate transportation ia
~cilities. Submarine warfare as con-
Quoted by the Germans is most
largely responsible for the shortage
of world shipping facilities. Destruc-
ton of industries in northern France
and in Belgium during the more than
four years of war was so enormous
that it is estimated it will take years
to restore these countries as they
were before the war.
There seems to be no doubt that the
immediate necessity confronting the
United States as well as European
countries is an adjustment of foreign
exchanges in such a manner as will
narnrif E11rnnnan nc,nfriac 81 49,,
chase such things in the United States
as are needed without having to labor
under the burden of present exchange
rates.
Loaded up as they are with tremen-
dous war debts, it is difficult enough
for European nations to get along;
and when it is considered that, with
the exception of Spain and Japan, the
exchange market of every European
country is today quoting record low
figures, the great disadvantage under
which they are laboring will be seen.
1t is teaching more drastic economy
than any of them desire at present.
1t is pointed out that establishment
of further commercial credits in the
United States for the purchase of
much-needed commodities will help
business in Europe and the United
States to a greater extent than any
n can imagine. From the bankers
viewpoint the decline in exchange is
perfectly natural, and was to be ex-
pected. However, from the manufac-
turer's and exporters point of view
the decline has one far enough.
They contend that the world is too
closely bound together for one coun-
try to permit the rest of the world to
undergo hardship, if that country can
prevent it. In other words, it is held
that the United States must soon come
TO the economic relief of the European
countries now so much in need of
financial help. Unless this is done, II
is contended that the unfavorable con-
ditions prevailing throughout Europe
will soon react upon the United States.
Bankers engaged in formulating
plans for financing Europe are real
izing more and more the enormity of
the task, and in some circles it is
already mooted whether they will not
have to appeal to the government.
Estimates of the amount of money
which Europe will eventually borrow
run from $1,000. o0o. 900 to $4,000. 0oo.-

THE OLD NEW ENGLAND
THANKSGIVING.

The king and high priest of all
festivals was the autumn Thanks
giving. When the apples were all
gathered and the cider was all made,
and the yellow pumkins were roll
ed in from many a hill in pillows of
gold, and the corn was husked, and
the labots of the season were done,
and the warm, late days of Indian
summer came in dreamy and calm
and still, with just enough frost to
crisp the ground of a morning, but
with warm traces OF benignant sunny
hours at noon there came over the
community a sort OF genial repose
of spirit-a sense of something ac-
complished, and OF a new golden
mark made in advance; and the deac-
on began to say to the minister, Of
a Sunday: 81 suppose it's about time
for the Thanksgiving proclamation"

EFFICIENCY FIRST,
POLITICS SECOND

An editorial in the Ruralist where
Peanut Politics is not Welcome" in
tlmated that there was a demand
from Republican sources for the re.
moval of Democratic cattle and
sheep inspectors that they could be
replaced by Republicans. The meet
ing of the state Republican commit
tee at the request of Governor La.
~rrazolo the first Of the month Il
consider this very matter was no
doubt the reason for the "grouchy'
editorial.
In some parts of the state the PEG
pie are not as a whole satisfied with
the hold-over cattle inspectors. TIL,
cattle sanitary board has turned 4
very deaf ear to requests for changes
Accord ng to reports there are on
five Republican inspectors out OF
nineteen.
Referring to the editorial above
mentioned Governor Larrazolo SAYS
There was a meeting OF the Repul-
lican executive committee of the state
at my office on the first Of he
month. The meeting was held at M,
request, and there were pre- ent such

for the purpose Of d sensing the
many protests that had come to me
from Republican sources TO the cf
feet that the employees under the
service OF the Cattle Sanitary board
were mainly Democrats, and in some
counties, notably Luna County, ex-
clusiyely SO, to the exclusion OF Re
publicans. At the meeting IT was as
certained that out Of 70 employees
under the Cattle Sanitary board IS
are Democrats. five Republicans, and

of efficiency comes first and should

fully practiced by democrats when
they are in power. Therefore. a
resolution was passed directing the
board. whenever consistent with eff
fIciency in the public service, to sub

The fact that the desired changes
