WILSON DON'T KNOW MEN,
LIVERPOOL POST BELIEVES

LONDON, March 22-Profound re-
gret is expressed by the Liverpool
Post that the Versailles treaty was re-
jected in the United States senate.
MANY things contributed to this de-
plorable upshot Of the presidents dip
lomacy," it says. "It is not for out
siders to sit in judgment on Americas s
decision. nevertheless, it seems toll
erably plain the senators have spoken
and voted amid great deal of mis-
conception as to the treaty and league
of nations and that unfortunate mental
atmosphere might have been markedly
improved had Mr.. Wilson shown him
self as skilled manager of men as he
has shown himself a lofty idealist."

THE ALASKA OIL FIELD

The Alaska oil prophecy of Dr. d. fred II. Brooks gives some official cpn- fig,nation to the hopeful views long held by many Alaskans and others who have had glimpscs of the promise of !Aiaska's potential oil fields. Dr. Brooks. who is the geoloeist in charge of the, Alaska division of the United States geological survey; believes that the northern territory will become aa oil-producing district next spring. 1t would have been an oil-producing dis tricr long ago if development had icea permitted. For many years the mineral and other treasures of the northern territory were locked up. Then canss q time when the government made some concessions to development and to the needs of the country.

able time the grand oil opening will be due in the spring.
 This is good news to Alaskans, and it is good news for Seattle. Oil is some little inducer of business of growth and progress. With oil-producing wells spputing in the great north, Seattle would be likely to notice it. Many oa tlle old sourdoughs believe that oil is to crate a greater future in Seattle and the northwest than the gold strike aud the rush of the gold-seekers of 1898 and subsequent years.
 Dr. Brooks cautions the public against the hazards of wildcating in the northern oil fields, and it is time ly word in that behalf. No great oi discovery has yet been made that has not been made the vehicle of fortune hunting by unprincipled men. There was oil in Pennsylvania and oil in Ok lahoma, and oil in Texas, but, unfortu- nately, all the drill holes in these stat es did not bring in producing wells4 4 Wildcatters seized the psychic mo- ment for marketing worthless oil stock, and the public was badly bitten.

MONEY AND MARKETS CREDIT SITUATION

z The downward revision of prices continues to be the factor dominating the general business outlook. The gov ernment is natural and inevitable corrective of the unstable condition created in the previous period of ris- ipx prices, reckless public buying and widespread speculation. Falling prices are not a recent development. Before the close of 1919 the prices of a nuab- CT of important commodities had be- gun to. decline. By spring of 1920 Q definite downward trend had been es- taSiished. Since then the movement has been accelerated, until within re- cent weets it has forced genral ,recog- hilton that the period of excessive buying at rising prices has definitely ended. Business must now go forward on a lower price level. This readjust- nent cannot be effected without sa- barraSsment in individual cases. It will be effected, however, without ser ious general results by reason of the Inherent strength of the credit situa- &ea and the assured cooperation of the banks with business.
 The banks are amply prepared to finance business while it is working out . more normal basis of operation and stable level of prices. This pro- cess will require the employment of a large volume of credit. Inventories cannot bs disposed of abruptly ln many lines, owing to general indispo- sisioa 'to buy, their liquidation must be effected very gradually. Meanwhile they must be financed. The long run effect of the downward price move meat, however, will bs to ease the credit situation. The freedom frun dssurhancs with which the readjust. Aent' is effected depends largely CT the willingness of business to reeog- lize &s changed conditions.
 Stabilization on . new price basis does not involve a return to the pre- war price level. For nearly two de
 cades prior to the war, prices had beeu risng steadily. On economic grounds thfs rise might reasonably have beer expected to continue, had there beer ao rar. Moreover, the improvement effected in our credit and banking ma eAinery since the inauguration of ths Federal reserve system now enables { given gold reserve to finance a great CT volume of business at higher price! than was practicable in the prewal days. The eountry's present gold re serve greatly exceeds the prewar re serves, and this enlarged and enncen trated gold reserve will have a sus taining influence on the new price lev el. Inc actual level at which price will be stabilized can only be worke, cut gradually on the basis of sctua transactions over an entended peried.
