now made Dy Us IN other countries
means an increase in their wealth
and consequently in the ability Of the
peoples Of those countries to pur-
chase our products. The war has
reversed the position Of America,
and instead Of other countries in
creasing their sales here through
increases Of wealth brought about by
investments in American enterprises
we are now able to increase our sales
abroad upon the same principle.
In view Of the present world de-
mand for capital a survey Of the
bases upon which America may be-
come. lender of capital is indica-
tive Of the opportunity which our in
dustrial and financial leaders have
of directing capital into the most
profitable channels.
The United States is now in an I'M
usually favorable position for MAX
ing foreign loans. There are avail
able for export vast supplies Of food
stuffs and raw materials. According
to the industrial census for 1914, the
industrial plants of the United States
had total capital in excess Of $780,
900, 900, 900, while the value of out
put was more than $4,000, 000, 900.
The war resulted in increases to our
industrial plant. This is indicated
by the pig iron production, which is
about 45 per cent larger than be-
fore the war; the establishment Of
important chemical and dyestuf in
dustries, and the great expansion of
our shipbuilding industry. Our di-
versified production and our natural
resources will enable us to supply
the materials which will form the
material bases Of loans to other
countries.
Az further basis for foreign
loans this country now has larger
investment power than ever before.
The annual savings, which amount
ed to $6,0o0,000,000 before the
war, reached a total Of $15,OOO,-
100000 during the war. The an
nual income from the balance of
foreign loans, which will be due
this country as a creditor nation,
will probably be largely absorbed
in new investments. The develop
ment Of strong and growing mer-
chant marine will further add to
our ability to invest capital in other
countries. The extraordinarily
large gold supply Of the country,
in combination with a free-gcld
market, will give bills drawn in
American dollars worldwide rep
utation as Synonymous with gold,
and funds can be loaned payable in
gold. This gold reserve is a sound
basis for our credit structure-an
essential requirement in an expan-
sion program.

Europe's Primary
Needs Enumerated

AS has been pointed out, Europe
has need Of foodstuffs, raw mate
rails and machinery to place it's in
dustrial life upon a normal basis
and to give employment to it's peo-
pie, which is the surest way Of
checking the spirit of social unrest.
But Europe's buying power, as
measured in pre-war terms, is weak,
because she does not have that sur
PLUS Of products for sale abroad
which normally would be used to
pay for imports. For the time be-
ing Europe must have credit ex-
tended to her in order that she NAV
be able to buy, otherwise the Pc
Rod Of readjustment will be pro-
longed and the stabilizing of her
industrial life will be delayed. Such
g situation might possibly have So
cial and political consequences.
which would gravely affect not
only her position but that of other
countries also. The failure to ex-
tend adequate credit will mean
that, instead Of our export trade
expanding and growing larger, it
must, of necessity, grow smaller
until the time comes when Europe
can sell US commodities only in ex-
change for those which we send To
her. Unless adequate credit is ex-
tended, the buying power Of Eu-
rope will become less in the imme-
date future, and this country will
be confronted with not an expan-
sion Of exports but a continual de-
crease Of exports.
1t is imperative that America in
1920 conserve her resources: that
she follow policy Of the strictest
economy, individual and public, in
order that the absorbing power for
Investments may be materially in
creased. The necessity Of financing
our export trade through the ex-
tension Of short and long term credit
must be brought to the attention Of
the investing public of this country.
In the first place, the appeal must be
made to those people who are di-
rectly benefited by the maintenance
and development of our export
trade. They must be made to see
that If they expect to find a market
for their products means Of finan-
cling must be available. But the
appeal must be made to q wider
circle Of individuals-the general
investing public. The beneficial
effects Of period Of prosperity, Of
period Of expansion Of trade and
industry, are widespread. They af-
feet all elements Of our population.
And 1t should be the business Of
every investor to do everything in
his power to finance our export
trade through sound mediums pro-
'vided by either private or public
bodies and to expand the growing
foreign market for American prod
ucts through the purchase Of sound
foreign securities.

Dandruff Surely
Destroys the Hair

NGirls-if you want plenty Of thick.
beautiful, glossy. silky hair, do by all
means get rid Of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't.
II doesn't DO much good to try to
brush or wash 1t out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff Is to dis
solve 1t, then you destroy 1t entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply 1t at
night when retiring; use enough to
molsten the scalp and rub it in gent
Iy with the finger tips. ~
BY morning, most II not all. Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find too. that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop.
and your hair viii look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. 1t is
inexpensive and four ounces Ia all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple rem
edy never fails.

PERSIA TABLETS.
Mental work uses up energy fast

You will then get double benefit

gassiness. sour stomach. heartburn.

arouse the stomach to relieve these
troubles that so frequently distress
the mental worker. They contain
harmless ingredients which act with
an alkaline effect, SO you may eat
the rich things of the banquet or

with utmost freedom.
Get q 60-cent box or Stuarts' Dys-
