San Francisco, July 1.-The sub
committee plank proposing to leave

day by the full platform committee,

Stabilizing Foreign Exchange.

Seeing that American sentiment whole
heartedly supports Secretary Glass in his de-
termination not to further strain the resources
of the United States government to support
European credit, the governments over there
have set about to repair their own finances. Ir
the Scandinavian countries, except Sweden, ex-
change councils have been formed to limit ex.
penditures and prevent the importation of
luxuries. In Sweden the government is urging
the banks to assist in this. In Portugal strict
import regulation has been adopted, and only
necessities may be purchased outside the coun-
try. and then in limited quantities and under
government supervision. Germany has enacted
comprehensive law, designed to improve the
financial and economic situation through con.
troll Of both exports and imports, to prevent the
flight Of capital and by more careful ordering
Of the business Of the country, to bring affairs to
condition from which prosperity will arise.
England and France have alse moved to pro-
teet their industry and commerce by checking
speculation and unwise expenditures, and the
effect is already apparent in the improved status
Of business there. Europe is taking Hoover's
advice, supplemented by the Glass refusal to
extend credit, and is going to work.

Trade Enough for All

Occasional warnings come by cable of what
Great Britain is doing to obtain trade in Latin
America and throughout the world Business
men in this country however, are we'll aware
that American trade extension without active
competition is not possible. No one need re-
greet that Great Britain appears to be making
progress in efforts to restore herself. The
United States wants trade, but wants other
countries to have it, too. Only in that way can
Europe solve the problem of its reconstruction.
And the sooner Europe solves it the better for
this country, since Europe is by far the best
customer America ever had or is likely to have.
1t is characteristic of the psychology of
some people that they cannot think of trade
competition except as combat in which one
side or the other must go to smashing defeat.
There is no reason why trade competition
should be conducted on that basis. Every ma
ton will probably get the proportion OF, say,
Latin American business to which it is entitled
by the quality of its manufacturing and mer-
chandisng processes and it's understanding of
Latin Americas needs And there is no reason
why any nation should begrudge any other such
share in the general benefit as it may honestly
earn.-Chicago News.

THE OIL BILL AND OMAHA.

When the president signed the oil and coal
land leasing bill, he brought Omaha quite bit
nearer to the oil fields Of Wyoming. This is
because the new law should greatly increase
the output of that region, and in consequence
the mooted pipe line to this city will not be
much longer delayed. .
Before the war the project was surveyed In
general way, its feasibility as we'll as its neces-
sity determined upon, and only the question of
production was to be solved. For three years
this latter has waited, because of the call of
war and the tendency of the law which is finally
an accomplished fact.
Much exploration work has been done in the
Wyoming fields, which will now be turned into
production, and the output must find market.
This, in turn, will>be reached from Omaha easier
than any other point. The route for the pipe
line is easy. greater part of the distance
being over such grades as will permit the Use
OF open bitches to carry the oil. while the
amount OF pumping that will have to be done il

The Rockefeller interests have watched the
Wyoming oil fields for many years, and realize
just how important that region is to the indus
try. They alse fully appreciate the strategic
value of Omaha as distributing point. If the
new law has the effect it normally should have,

that has hitherto been locked from production,

Futile Criticism Of Woman's Attire.

Frenchmen alone have the gift OF designing
gowns and millinery for women which meet
their enthusiastic approval the world over. The
modes from Paris are 4 continuous delight to
the gentler sex. Occasionally there is an out

but it always comes from men who would make

women in matters of attire.
Men see their wives and daughters in MIL
winter with heavy furs from shoulders to knees,
bare throats and chests, ankles in thin silk and
feet in low-cut light shoes facing icy blasts with
composure. Medical authorities rave against
these partial exposures, and predict dire results.
