TT LOOKS TO NoN-soc1A1im1x

At the hearing given to the s,s-
pended Socialist members Of the as

tleton, counsel for the committee, nut
the issue in plain words. Leaning
across the table and pointing his fin
ger at Mr.. Hihquit, the Socialist ~
gel. MI. Littleton said, In the most
dramatic moment Of the hearing:
You tell US the war has uproot-
ed u institutions. let me tell
you that not until the fierce light
OF the war shed its rays into the
rke corners did we know
that treason might be masuue-
r9ding under the name Of a polit-
ical party.
This is the real point, and not any
irrelevant talk about the right Of rep
resentation. That right, for loya]
Americans. is not in dispute. n.
II the Socialist orsaniation-1f any
orsanlzation-is in fact a conspiract
OF treason. masquerading as a politi.
cal party or not then it has no right
to representation in congress or the
legislatures; nc right to complain il IL
is excluded from them.

clared war and contemplates force

FOREIGN mCHAaGh

The eason for tho fluctuations in
foreign exchange r beyond the
comprehension Of most of US. In
general it may be said that tho low
price to which the currency Of almost
every species OF foreign money has
dropped, in the American market IL
due to one of two causes: first, un-
certainty as to the stability OF the
foreign government and consequent
doubt as 70 the payment Of its obliga-
tons, and second. disturbed indus
trial conditions in the foreign country,
resulting in lessened production. ex-
cessive imports. and inability to pay
its obligations in goods instead of in
money.
Except in a few cases the exchange
of the major countries has d~epreciat-
ed in response to the latter condition.
British sterling exchange, for instance,
has just touched the remarkably low
point OF $3.19. That means that for
the time being the pound sterling,
normally worth $4.s6, was worth only
sS.1s. That represents a discount
of. a little better than 33 per cent.
h permanence of the British gov
eminent is scarcely in question, nor
is there a question that it will meet
all its obligations. But the British
have been buying much faster than
they could produce, and a. tfade&cons
dition has been created which is I'M
satisfactory, and which must be rec
titled.
British exchange has deprecated
less than that OF n other Of the
principal countries, but as a rule the
same considerations govern. In the
s of Germany there is the added
complication that political affair. are
chaotic. and between the two causes
the value Of the mark has almost
disappeared. The situation has given
rise to a good deal OF speculation in
exchange. The mai who has in his
possession a British sovereign for
which he paid par or whereabouts,
need have no anxiety as to its real
value 1t contains as much gold as
ever it did. and. if he keeps it long
enough he will be able to get par for
it This, it may DO supposed, is true
in greater or less measure Of the cur
rency Of other representative nations.
But the prospect of realizing an ad-
n in time to make a profit, or
even to pay reasonable interest on
the investment, is not SO clear. We
may wait a long time to see par con-
dltions rc-estahlished.
For the man who wishes to take
a little flyer in exchange, and ut the
same time to have a sure thing, w
reco ! the purchase OF, Liberty
OF Victory bonds Some Of them may
be obtained at a discount of almost
10 per cent. They are earning inter
est all the time, and, regardless Of
market fluctuations. at their time of
maturity the American government
will pay 100 cents on the dollar for
every M of them. There is re-
scented that rare thing. a speculation
which is an absolutely sure thing.
