Of the new cabinet, declared all Euro
pean countries were facing an extremely
difficult situation with famine ahead un-

The premier said more than 3OO,OOO,-
600 workers do not produce the neces-
saries of life. Russia and Germany
were producing hardly anything. Eu,
rope, according to Signor Nitti, would
only recover its balance by recognizing
Russia and Germany, and the nations
must. unite In sympathy and clemency
for the vanquished.
which we believe and which we want,
there is a society of European peoples
which by its own efforts must better the
condition Of human life," Premier Nitti
said.
The premier declared that Italy was
going to support n complete state OF
peace and the spirit of peace, as well
as collaboration throughout the world,
but particularly between the countries
of Europe. It was in the solidarity OF
democracies that the salvation of the
independent and economic life of the
European continent was to be found.
The vanquished countries, continued
Signor Nitti, must bear the conse-
quences Of the war which they had i'm
posed upon the world, but the obliga-
tion was to be met by progress. not by
the impoverishment Of their existence.
''In order that Italy may act with
more freedom" he said, "the question
of the Adriatic must be settled. We will
never demand of Jugo- -Slavia the i'm
possible, or ANYTHING that might appear
unjust. To reach an equitable solution
the parliamentary parties must assume
responsibilities.

FREAKISH FINANCE in
FLUCTUATINC EXCHANGE

BERLIN, March An American
major general can be a millionaire
in Berlin. All he has to do is Trans
late his yearly dollars into marks
and he has / 100000 OF them.
This is only one of the interesting
little calculations that one makes
nowadays with German valuta. or eS
change.
The story is told OF a Russian who
grow wealthy solely from valuta. HN
bought an auto before the war for
10000 marks, which at that time rep
resented 1850 rublcs. 4 friend who
kept the car during the war gained
a fine livelihood and saved some
money besides by renting the ma
chine. Now, the Russian has sold the
car to the entente commission for
$1,000. which means 100000 rubles.
He's gone back to Russia TO live like
n prince on this amount.
Another case OF the queer freaks Of
valuta is that OF the Munich business
man who owed 100000 franks to n
Swiss bank before the war--that rep
resenting about 100000 marks at that
time. A law passed during the war
prevented sending large sums OF
money out OF the cousitry. Now tho
Munich man. who was very wealthy
faces bankruptcy because OF the fact
that the 5000 francs now mean that
he's way over ! ooo.o 600 marks extra

has never been put into effect
and it may never be, but it is a

similar provisions for the pro-

The Jones law is only a begin

study their shipping problems
They must become ship owners
and our young men must learn
the trades Of the sea. Give the
American an equal chance, he
will hold his own against foreign
competition. We must learn to
think in terms of ships, we must
invest our money in ships, and
we must understand that Amer

A New Danger Threatens.

NNRN ANh~9F
The system of exempting from
taxation securities issued for f.
nancing public enterprises like
district bonds, drainage bonds,
state and municipal bonds was
begun long before the graduated
system Of income taxes was ere
ated. These securities are all is
sued for public or community
benefit. While these securities
are exempt from Federal income
tax, in practically all states they
are subject to local and state
taxation the same as other
moneys and credits. In 1916 the
Federal Farm Loan Act was en-
acted exempting from taxation
bonds issued for the purpose of
financing private individuals.
This is the first National prece-
dent in American history for
granting special privileges of
tax exemption to individuals at
the expense of the public treas
ury. 1t is a dangerous precedent
likely to be extended. If this con-
tinues the consumers taxes and
the land taxes will be greatly in
creased. Tax exemptions for
Farm Loan Bonds should be re-
pealed at once as it simply fur
nishes a loophole for tax dodg-
ing.
