u. S. CHEMICAL INDEPENDENCE

The department of commerce has announced that the chemical indus try in the United States is now self sustaining, and this corresponds with the views of chemists throughout the country, who have maintained for years that the industry needed only to be properly organized to rescue it from dependence on foreign coun-- tries.
 The technical qualifications of American chemists never have been in doubt, but appreciation of the i'm portance of their work has been lacking. We were dependent on Germany for a long list of essential chemical products, not because we could not possibly have manufactured them on laboratory scale, but be- cause we did not foresee the con- sequences of being excluded from a source of supply.

THE CREDIT SITUATION.

The downward revision of prices continues to be the factor domin- ating the general business outlook. The movement is a natural and in- evitable corrective of the unstable condition created in the previous period of rising prices, reckless public buying and whispered specu- lation. Falling prices are not re- cent development. Before the close of 1919 the prices of a number of important commodities had begun to decline By spring of 1920 a definite downward trend had been established. Since then the. move ment has been accelerated, until within recent weeks it has forced general recognition that the period of excessive buying at rising prices has definitely ended. Business must now go forward on a lower price level. This readjustment cannot be affected without embarrassment in individual cases. It will be effected, however, without serious general results by reason of the inherent strength of the credit situation and the assured cooperation of the banks with business.
 The banks are amply prepared to finance business while it is working out a more normal basis of opera tion and a stable level of prices. This process will require the employ ment of a large volume of credit. In ventories cannot be disposed of abruptly. In many lines, owing to general indisposition to buy, their liquidation must be affected very gradually. Meanwhile, they must be financed. The long run effect of the downward price movement, however, wlle be to ease the credit situation. The freedom from disturbance with which the readjustment is effected depends largely on the willingness of business to recognize the changed conditions.
 StabilizatiOn on a new price basis does not involve a return to the pre- war price level. For nearly two decades prior to the war prices had been rising steadily. On economic grounds this rise might reasonably have been expected to continue, had there been no war. Moreover, the improvment effected in our credit and banking machinery since the in- auguration of the federal reserve system now enables a given gold re- serve to finance a greater volume of business at higher prices than was practicable in the prewar days. The country's present gold reserve great 1y exceeds the prewar reserve, and this enlarged and concentrated gold reserve will have a sustaining in fluence on the new price level. The actual level at which prices will be stabilized can only be worked out gradually on the basis of actual transactions over an extended period.

FOE PROPERTY FOR DEBTS
Great Britain Renounces Right to Con-
fiseate German Holdings in
United Kingdom.

Washington, Oct 30.-State depart
ment officials, discussing Great Brit
tins announcement to the French for
eign office that it had renounced the
right of confscation Of German prop
erty in the United States, said it
was their understanding that any sur
plus of German seized property over
that applied to the German debts
would not be confscated by the Brit
ish government.
1t was explained that the British
had adopted the clearinghouse sys.
tenn of disposing Of the German seized
property under the terms Of the treaty.
By this means German seized prop.
erty in the United Kingdom would be
used to Offset the claims of British ma.
tionals against Germany. and the re.
mainder applied to war reparatfons.
