Passing Dividends.

The directors of the American Inter-
national Corporation did right in pass
ing their dividends and directors OF
other corporations acted wisely In
similarly curtailing disbursements. We
have internationalized the business of
our corporations to such an extent as to
expose them to ups and downs of for
eign markets and make necessary for
them TO direct their business affairs &C
cording to conditions encountered
abroad. That readjustment was newt
able and meant nothing more than that
American business combinations were
strengthening their organizations and
doing what they couid to build up large
reserve balances to carry them over the
period OF dull business abroad. All
those developments have been OF the
sort which will make for stronger bust
ness conditions later on, and there are
the best of reasons for saying that the
security of the future has been to q
large extent underwritten by curtail-
ment OF prices, reduction of loans and
paying floating Indebtedness The
country is on the up grade again, as we
are doing what will make for industrial
well being in the end.

later on with profits to those who pur-
chase securities in anticipation of a
spirited January demand. Whether the
upward movement sets in then or later.
the outstanding fact Is that security
prices In many cases have declined be-
low the level indicated by intrinsic con-
dltlons and the known position of basic
industries.
Strong Points.
The markets have not begun to dis
count benefits which will come from
abandonment OF eXtravagant living and
larger production resulting from in
creased efficiency of labor, which is be-
coming more noticeable weekly because
the laborer is realizing that to become
worthy Of his hire he must give
genuinely better service. If the mer-
chandise dollar has been made more
productive because OF the sharp decline
In commodity prices, it stands to reason
that the wage dollar must purchase
more and better service, provided that
the worker receives just remuns ration
based on prevailing living costs. 1t is
literally true, as President-elect Har-
ding said before embarking for Panama,
that the big thing for all America to
realize now and always Is the dignity of
productive labor. No matter how
humble, the producers are the makers
of the essentials of civilization and we
must each and all of us accept and dis
charge our duty of producing for the
world or of minlstering to the needs or
comforts or progress of mankind" That
is the goal toward which intelligent
workers and thoughtful employers are
headed. Orderly deflation only can
come with cultivation Of national thrift
and a largely Increased industrial out
put a unit of worker The Industrial
Stacker in existing conditions will have
to starve because there is no longer a
bid for labor, but growing
for jobs.

Continued Restrictions.

He stated the case clearly and showed
why II would be necessary for banks to
confine their advances to necessities OF
essential undertakings that the initiation
should not be resumed. The whole world
is trying TO extr cate itself from COM
plications growing out of twelve months
OF intense credit strain and is making
distinct Roadway in that direction. In
dustrial m snaps and commercial fail
ures attending the movement are bring
ing about easier credit conditions and
relieving the intensity of a credit strain
without parallel in peace mes. With
the close Of the year. however the
heaviest engagements will have been
met and the probability is that money
rates will seek a somewhat lower level.
Pretty much all the world Is still trying
to borrow here in one form or another,
an added incentive for such operations
being the sensat onal break In neutral
exchange rates That movement has
enhanced the cost of doing business with
us and made 1t very difficult for the
sneedier nations of Europe 10 purchase
foodstuffs. supplies and essential mer-
chandise in the United States.
MoratorIa.
The tangle in international exchange
may force other countries to declare
moratoria, but the fact that payments
have been deferred temporarily does not
mean that ultimate losses must be taken.
Our business with South American coun-
tries is In many respects well safe
guarded and never before have our
banking connections with those coun-
tries been as strongly established as
they are to-day. Several foreign trad
ing corporations formed under the pro-
visions Of the Edge act and other laws
will take the field within a few weeks
for the purpose OF strengthening our
foreign trade relations with markets
that are eager to do business with us
on favorable terms. II IS highly essen
tial that liberal credits should be estab-
| ished because the cost of settling for
merchandise purchased here IN dollar
/ exchange Is prohibtive In most cases

Accomplishing Dehation.

Inasmuch as the evils we are suffer-
ing from result largely from the unprec-
edented expansion of credit and cur
rency. the tendency lately shown to re-
duce the bank note Issues of Great
Britain. France and our own Reserve
system is suggestive Of forces restoring
normal order. The Bank of France
contracted last week it's outstanding
circulation 362, 900 francs and the re-
duction in British currency notes has
amollted to much more than the equiv
alene of $21 100000 within five weeks.
There is reasonable expectation that
there will be further reduction in Re-
serve notes. as it is realized that the
country cannot stand further initiation
at this time. On that point j. Herbert
Cast, acting governor Of the Reserve
Bank of New York. told the conference
of New York State credit men last week
than continued expansion would lead
inevitably to ultimate collapse, and
added:
The war thrust upon us huge bust
ness. a business not based on self-liqui-
dating commercial paper but on Govern
ment bonds. 1t S, perhaps. a departure
from sound banking principles but I'M
avoidable. The whole scheme of basing
note issues and deposit currency on short
time self-liquidating commercial paper
was upset by the flood of Government
bonds. These Government securities
must be gradually shaken out of the
banks and assimil ated by the public 1t
will require time and saving. Our peo-
pie must be taught and encouraged to
exercise thrift and acquire prosperity.
An elastic system of credit and note is
sue implies power to curtail as we'll as
to expand The alb lily of the system to
bring about healthy contraction is still
on trial"

VOTE ON SUFFRAGE TODAY
Little Hope of the Resolution Passing
the Delaware House

! tllG OCldW are house
Suffrage will be disposed of today
when the House recOnvenes, either by
intenment in committee of the whole,
or by the more open method Of rec
ord vote. Some of the antis are fav-
Orable to the former proposition, while
others prefer to escape being counted
and Still others advocate giving the
Walker resolution a chance for it's life
by yea and nay ballot.
Little hope is held out for favorable
action regardless of the indefatigable
efforts of suffragists in the past three
days. This is particularly menacing
in view of the action of the United
States Supreme Court in reversing the
Ohio State Supreme Court on the ref
erendum on Federal amendment.
This incidentally knocks the plea of
Delaware "antis" that they are willing
to submit the question to a vote on the
people of the State. According to the
highest court in America this is out
of the question, so Delaware now faces
the duty of either ratifying or being
classed among the list of reactionary
States.

SERVICE MEN GET MEDALS
Notable Occasion at Dover Before an
Assembly of 2OOO People

Memorial Day at Dover, the State
Capital, was notable occasion. Fol
lowing the ceremonies of the G. A. R.
Post at the cemeteries they returned
to the Dover Green, where had assem-
bled nearly 1000 people, Senator VOL
colt delivered a most eloquent ad-
dress, recalling former wars and their
losses and the World War in which
the United States played a most i'm
portant part. He commended the
Delaware boys for the part they took
in the defeat of militarism and auto
cracy and pleaded for a world peace.
Mayor Magee also spoke.
After Senator Wolcott's address he
presented the medals prepared espe-
cially for the Delaware boys by an act
of the Delaware Legislature last year,
each medal bearing the coat of arms
OF the State and the recipients name.
Members of the Dover G. A. R. (but
10 in number), together with the de-
taehment from the American Legion
and Boy Scouts, as we'll as the Dover
band, were entertained at luncheon by
DR.. and Mrs. E. S. Anderson CDR. An
derson being member of the G. A.
r., at the home of their son-in-law
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. H. I.
Beers, in City Beautiful.
The visitors were most royalty en-
tertained, and at the conclusion of the
luncheon, a vote of thanks and appre-
citation was extended by the visitors
which was responded to by the host
and hostess. Dr. and Mrs. Anderson
were assisted in receiving by Mrs.
William Denney, Mrs. George E. Daw-
son and Mrs. Ralph Wilson.
At the luncheon, representatives of
three ware were noticed, those of the
Civil War, Spanish War and the
World War.

The Delmarvia Star of Wilmington
in its issue last Sunday, made this an
nOuncement concerning us:
can injustice to the Smyrna Times
has ben done by The Star and other
newspapers throughout the State by
a recent announcement that the Smyr-
ma newspaper had discontinued. 1t
happened this way, so far as The Star
is concerned.
'Last week the Milford Chronicle
carried an article that the Times had
discontinued. Accepting this as true
because the Chronicle seldom errs in
its news announcements, The Star re-
printed the story. AS it turned out,
the Chronicle had taken the wrong
meaning Of an announcement in the
Smyrna paper and based its story
upon that. The Times announcement
was that, unless help could be secured.
the paper might have to temporarily
discontinue and if this were done sub
scribers and advertisers would receive
refunds for any issues that did not ap-
pear.
However, according to Editor R. D.
Hoffecker, the Dover Sentinel loaned
help to the Times for two issues of the
Smyrna paper when, without this
help, the latter could not have been
Issued and Mr.. Hoffecker said to the
reporter for The Star that the paper
has now secured permanent help and
is doing business as usual at the same
old stand. {
"The Star is glad that Mr.. Hoffeck-
er has passed the barrier for the {
Smyrna Times is a newspaper that {
the people of Delaware can ill afford e
10 lose"
The Milford Chronicle in it's issue of
Friday last says:
"The Smyrna Times has had an ex- h
oerience which is no new thing to o
many in the printing business, and it u
S pleasure to know that the labor y y
rouble which came to our neighbo1ing :
has ben solved, and the 4
smyrna Times has not been suspend W
d for even one issue. The Smyrna ~
lines is one of the oldest continuous ~
7eekly papers printed in Delaware, W
nd the fact that it has met the situa- N
ion brought about by trusted en- \
loyees leaving without any notice, y
ellis the story of reliability and con- "
dence in the business by the owner y
nd manager, Robert D. Hoffecker. It NI

TO BE FREE OF FEAR

The Fear Bug. How to get rid of it.
In physics we are taught that two things
cannot occupy the same place at the same
time. Let us apply it to the realm of
thought. AS fear and courage cannot
occupy the same place at the same time,
remove fear (Which is negative ele-
ment) by substituting courage. 1t is a
mere matter of will power and mental
attitude. Say, 81 fear nothing" Then
live up to your affirmation. This is an
auto-suggestion to your subjective mind.
Remember you cannot think courage and
entertain fear at the same time. What
ever thought you hold effectively and
deeply impress on the subjective mind no
external power can prevent. You observe
say impress. The mere telling the sub
jectiVe mind is not sufficient. An i'm
preston must be made through feeling it
must be so. Mere words are often caught
in the mental machinery and never get
any further.
The following quotation may aid you in
assuming the right attitude regarding fear:
"Flee from fear, and still the faster
Fear comes on.
Turn, assert yourself the master,
Fear is gone" Nautilus.

of japanese delegation, transferred from
a local to an express in the subway in the
course of being shown about New York.
Inquiring the reason for the change the
party was informed that three minutes
were thus saved. 1t is reported that on
emerging at their destination the leader
of the delegation turned to their guides
and blandly inquired, "Now that we have
saved three minutes, what shall we do with
them?" This is point the West might
we'll ponder.
During his furlough at home the mis-
sionary more than once feels the lack of
the courtesy for which the Far East is
famed. He is accustomed in the Orient to
seeing students rise and bow at the be-
ginning of the recitation, and he feels i'll
at ease when no one at the occidental
university takes note of the entrance of
the professor, and the opening sentence of
the lecture cuts across buzz of conversa-
ton. In making a call he is not seldom
shown out into the hall If the apartment
at parting and is left to find his own way
out of the building. The frs, time this
happens he cannot help feeling little
queer as he recalls how some Chinese
friend escorted him clear to the street, or
how some official had the great doors of
the "yamen" opened and bowed him out
with all ceremony. All such things take
time, to be sure, and seem troublesome and
useless as well, but to one who is accus-
toned to them they add much to the
amenities of social intercourse, and in
vest with dignity many commonplace &C.
