anyone to attempt prophecy.

certain economic data. and In doing that

may possibly be in certain directions
Tho foreign exchanges have had a
headlonE decline. The quotations are
merely Indicators of certain economic
conditions. Some people take super
fetal view and think that the disparity
between the former and the present
rates might b. corrected by some IL
nanCial formula or political agreement
Such view Is idle.
There have been two causes contrib
utlng 10 tho decline Of foreign eXchanG-
as In the first place, Europe has been
forced to buy chiefly from this coun-
Try. an amount of food and raw mater
mi aud TO q less extent manufacturer
articles vastly in excess Of her norma!
requirements. and COinCidcntly has been
unable to export ANYTHING like her nor
nal volume. This has created adverse
trad, balanc,s To an uncNampicd cA-
tent.
These adverse trade balances are, Tor
example. 100000 pounds in III" case
OF Great Britain and tranSiatinS inc
franc and Ira AT parity. $i9l?.OOO,O"o
for Franco and s2.500. 100000 for ltaIN
II Is of course impossible to correct
these adverse balances by IN" shipment
rf gold. and there is no other way, the
supply Of goods being deficient. but To
create credits.
There were created credits IN TINS
country last year 10 an amount Ia!
beyond tho general realization Of that
movement. Europr'S total adverse TRADE
balance with tn" United States exceeded
four and a half billion dollars.
Nearly ha.f Of this war provided Tot
by loans out Of the ton billion govern
mcnt fund. \ considerable amount was
made up by funds transmitted by fur"'
pean nationals living in this country
and so far as Great Britain and tn
Scandinavian countries are concerned
BY tho invisible item Of tr"ights earned
nv the mercantile marines Of those
countries.
Accounting fully for these factors
there was still left an amount probably
in excess OF billion dollars that was
