export trade. We viii prosper for
a day and then find our goods pill
ing up on our shelves. This thing
called exchange viii get US.
Must Buy and Sell.
And since we are a democracy,
since national action depends upon
public understanding Of the need,
you must get this understanding or
fail, Mr.. American. You must
come to understand that trade be-
tween two countries Is actual eX-
change Of goods If it Is TO survive.
A mere selling Of goods by one
country to another Is the blowing
Of q commercial bubble which can
exist for but q moment. You have
got to buy as we'll as SELL Other
wise exchange will make Il Inn
possible for you to sell.
Before the war we sold about
two billion dollars worth Of goods
abroad every year and bought a
billion and a half. Out Of the
half billion TO our credit we paid
the transportation charge to for
eign ships. Then we paid interest
on American securities that were
held abroad. Finally we added to
this the money that American
tourists each year spent in Eu-
rope. These items brought the
outlay up to the income. There
was trade in its broadest sense be-
tween the United States and for
eign countries. It balanced. The
situation was satisfactory.

TIE Treasury Department is
Just now wondering how
much the man on the street
knows about finance, how many Of
nm appreciate 50 simple q thing
ag the province Of a bank, know
what q bond really is, can tell
what Is meant by exchange.
This last term exchange is now
causing particular concern. Ex-
change makes It necessary that
the nations Of Europe should pay
q fee for the privilege of buying
goods In the United States. The
most favOFably situated Of these
nations pay 5 cents in exchange
that hey may spend a dollar here,
but the less favored pay as much
as 30 cents for that privilege.
The Treasury Department, which
does its worrying through the
agency Of the Federal Reserve
Board, knows that foreign peoples
are going to pay this tribute only
50 long as they have to, and that
presently ships viii stop sailing
from Philadelphia to Stockholm,
because Of exchange, and that fac
tories in Youngstown may be shut
ting down because Of the same
taking Of tribute.
This matter Of exchange, in
fact, is the very cornerstone of
the foreign trade situation. Our
business with all the world de-
pends on its readjustment. It is
now badly out Of order.
q. S. on Mountain Top.
To understand exchange we
must remember that America was
thrust by q great war into a posi-
ton Of trade dominance, was
taken to the mountain top and
shown the marts Of the world
waiting to be taken.

This much America saw. To
this program she instinctiVely
pledged herself. We would sell
our goods the world around.
Wherever q traveller puts his foot

This, 70 the average American,
Is the whole Of the trade program.
Even TO the manufacturer, the eX-
porter, there Is but the one view,
That Of establishing markets for
American goods. The idea of buy
ing abroad, Of importing extensive
" into the United States, is un-
popular. The United States, It is
held, should be self-suppoTting.
Imports should be discouraged.

AS a suggestion that may solve
the present street railway problem
in an equitable manner, I offer the
following:
A street car fare on both lines
within the District Of Columbia OF
6 cents, provided:
First-That the Washington kali-
way and Electric Company will sell
to the Capital Traction Company the
two suburban lines known as the
Tenallytown and Georgetown hne
and the City and Suburban line' at
a fair valuation to be fixed by the
Public Utilities Commission;
Second-That the Capital Trac-
ton Company will purchase and
operate these two suburban lines
from the surplus revenue to be de-
rived from the 1-eent increase in car
fare and viii give satisfactory and
efficient service on these two lines;
Third-That the Washington Rail-

WHAT Is EXCHANGE?

more heavily from the United
States than formerly, and selling
less to us. Il cut of such Ameri-
can money from Europe IS that
derived from the tourist trade.
Europe did all the buying and we
did all the selling. The balance
became always stronger and
stronger in our favor. Our stu
pendous loans in Europe brought
about temporary readjustment Of
balances, but accentuated them in
the long run, because interest has
got to be paid on those loans. Eu-
rope must always find means with
which TO pay the United States.
She must every day aggravate the
exchange situation.
She viii do this, win pay q high
rate of exchange, when there is
no other way. But the world is
getting back toward normal.
Other nations will soon have ma
terialB TO SELL When that day
comes Europe will cease to pay

buy elsewhere.
Canadian Exchange.
Here is the way exchange work
ed out in the case Of Canada. Last
year Canada bought twice as much
in the United States as we bought
there. Under normal conditions
she would have shipped gold to the
United States to pay her balance
and exchange would have remained
undisturbed. But the Canadian
gold supply had run low and an
embargo had been placed on it. In

The above plan would more nearly
equaize the number Of miles Of the
two roads. With the revenue gained
BY the increase in fare, the Capital
Traction Company could develop and
maintain an efficient service on
these two suburban lines which
would encourage people 20 live IN
these sections, thus relieving the
congestion in the downtown parts Of
the city. The increase in car fare
would be borne BY the entire popuT
lation and the city as a whole would

an attempt to help the exchange
situation Canada forbade the Inn
poFtatiOn Of luxuries. Despite this,
and despite the helpfulness Of Eng
land IN arranging Canadian cred
its, e has been necessary for a
firm ia Montreal, buying American
goods TO pay q premium Of 2 per
cent for q draft. This means that
It win pay $1.O2 for an article, the
price Of which Is 81. That diner
ence Of 2 per cent may mean that
the order will 90 to England in
stead Of the United States. So the
first step is made toward readtust-
ing the balance. American export
TO Canada Is curtailed. At the
same time an American draft for
500 in Canada is worth $102 and
this becomes an inducement to Am
ericans to buy in Canada. In this
way the United States Is penaliZed
both ways just because she has
been selling more than she has
been buying. In this way a basic
law Of trade tends to force cOndi-
tions back to normal, back to that
ideal state when buying and selling
between nations Just balances.
Despite the great loans we have
made to France there has been a
constant exchange charge against
US of from 5 to 10 per cent. Spain
has had to pay a premium Of 50
per cent for an American draft.
These nations will pay this pre-
MUM only while it is impossible
to get materials elsewhere. There
are other nations anxious for the
trade Of these countries on whose
exchange there is no premium at
all. But we are a creditor nation
in the important markets Of the
world, and this fact penalties our
exports.
Payment Must Be Made.
Payment must be made for
goods that are sold abroad. Pay
ment must be made Of the $780,
100000 a year that is due US in in
tsrest. How are the nations going
to pay?
Well, there are just two ways in
which payment can be made. One
is by shipping gold to US. This is
made difficult by the fact that
the world produces but $4OO,-
100000 a year in gold, outside the
United States, and If We got it all
it would not pay the annual inter
est due US. Certainly there is no
chance of getting paid for our
goods in cash.
The second way in which we can
be paid for our goods is in the
goods Of other countries. We can
sell them those products which
circumstances make it possible for
US to produce most advantageous
ly and economically, and buy from
them the things which they, diff
ferently situated, can bring to
market more cheaply than we can.
This is the method which would
establish interchange that could
continue indefinitely and with mu-
tual benefit. This is the normal
yay IN which we can adjust ex-
ihange and establish permanent
trade.
