FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY.

What is regarded as an unexampled
opportunity for the purchase of for
eign securities, is cited by financial
authorities in the prevailing discount
on sterling exchange.
Leaders do not look upon the pres
ent exchange position as an unmiXed
evil from the English point of view,
but rather see in it an effective check
upon uneconomical buying by the
British nation. At the same time they
point out that far-sighted American
investors can now purchase cheaply
millions of securities held by Great
Britain. thus reducing the overbalance
of American trade with Europe.

Will the Russian revolution be a
permanent success?
No man can answer the question.
1t will be a success In one way.
Czarism will not come back.
Will this particular revolution

When the Bolshevist government
