SOUTH AMERICAN Elk
CHANGE

Causes Of the big decline in European
exchange rates are we'll understood to
be due 10 the overwhelming balance in
our favor in our accounts with European
nations. This condition has existed
ever since the allied governments with
drew their stabilizinS measures at the
end of the war. More recently, Central
and South American rates have followed
the procession downward. and the causes
have not been so clear.
\ department Of commerce report Tor
October shows this drop in Latin-Ameri-
can exchange TO be due 10 credit string
ency and a big decline in the exports to
the United States and Europe. Our own
great crops have cut down our pur-
chases in Central and South America by
many millions a month. The credit
stringency has made II impossible for
the LatIn-American exporter to do bust
ness with Europe, as his banker cannot
finance the long term sales. In this sit
uation. the European buyers have turned
to the United States and are buying our
food surplus.
Our imports of food and raw materials
from Central and South America de-
clined sl2s.O09. 900 in September. giving
US a favorable trade balance Of S6S.OOO.-

PLANTATION OF the drop in South Amert-
can exchange rates and also Of our own

LET'S SAVE FOR OURSELVES

1t is trifle dlscouraging to find that
the government. after urging US to be
thrifty all through the war. took the
proceeds Of our thrift and squandered it.
But the fact that such 4 thing occurred
is no indictment Of thrift. In fact. the
billions that were available for national
use furnish a striking proof of the eff
fectiveness Of the gospel Of saving,
Their misuse by incompetent officials is
another matter entirely. Now that the
war Is over. governmental economy as,
sured. and the need Of individual thrift
increased, there should be correspond
ing determination on the part Of every
man and woman to do for himself or
herself what was done for the nation
under the spur of patriotism.

PHE KEY TO AMERICANIZA,
TON

The Importance OF a knowledge Of
the English language to the foreign
worker in America is stressed by L. c.
yermillion. Ohio state director OF
Ameeicanization. Mr.. Yermiliion cites
many cases OF foreigners OF excellent
education compelled to take common
laborers work simply because they
could not read and speak English. Even
the laborer who can understand English
IL twice as valuable as the one who can
not. he finds. because the one who can
understands what the foreman is talk
ing about.
The obvious conclusion Is that Ameri-
canization schools should first OF all
concentrate on an effort 10 give every
foreigner a good working knowledge Of
tho English language. What the ability
TO read and write his own language Is
20 any man in any country. knowledge
of English is in America. Without It..
many doors are closed. With It, those
same doors open as il by magic.

to this period of ferment and unrest
which has followed and smile charltably
at the predictions OF avulslon, of revo-

disaster.

under terrific strain, as in this epoch.
Bad as conditions Individually are in
many parts of Europe. they are not COM

the Thirty Years War or the Napoleonic
era.
Whoever wishes reinsurance for to-

back and study the history OF yesterday
and the day before.
1t is only short year ago we were
being told from all directions that 'un-
less the world gets back to the serious
business of production and saving.
everything is going 10 the bow-wows.'
Well, the truth is that in that short
year the world has very largely got
back to production and saving. The do
meStic production and foreign trade OF
Great Britain. France. Italy, Germany
and our own country, all prove this.
The very fact that we are not ex-
porting so much is an evidence that
other countries are requiring less I'M
porting; that Is. that they are rapidly
moving toward re-establishment Of
their normal balance Of production and
consumption.
That is healthy sign for them and
therefore for US, despite that II in
wolves some difficult problems in re-
adjusting our own economic balances.
The war added hugely TO the wealth
and also To the debt Of our country.
Down TO the entry nf our own country
as a combat ant we were benetitinG by
the misrortuncS of Europe.
Then came our time to carry the bur
den. and We carried II splendidly. But
at the end we were still far better pos
tured than any other great state, and
our recovery ought 10 have been at
pace far outstrlpping theirs.
, Yet in the first two months or the
present fiscal ycar--the months Of July
and August. 1920-our national eXpcn-

fortunately situated than our own II
would have meant bankruptcy of their

The business OF America Is the busi

essentially business country. we near
vast deal about big business hut
the big business OF America Is nothing
but the aggregate of small businesses
That is why we need business sense IN
our M tional government.
There must be demonstrated an Hn-
Outstanding of the wo-kaday problems
of articulating the business world. Those
problems are not as n rule very Spectac-
ular. They do not greatly attract the
academicians and theorists. They are
looked upon rs pretty Sordld by 1rlkS
who would like TO engage al once In a
CtoPian reorganization OF soSiety, or IN
the idea izatio of social conditions But
they are nevertheless intensely practical
and absorbing, because they touch all
the people all the time.
1t is true that some people believe
present conditions In the world are so
bad that It would be better to scrap
everything and, out Of the resulting IN
dustrial and economic chaos. attempt to
re-crystaliZc the community, hoping 10
produce something perfect. We are not
one of those. and we do not believe their
number Is large enough to be serious
factor in the community.
Right here, Ii seems worth while TO
say q cheerful word about the essential
strength and staying quality that our
prcsent-day structure OF society has dis
played since 1919. EVERY Dpuy Will ~
member that when the war broke out it
was a wcll-ngh universal observation
that 1.-The war cannot last more than six
months or year. because economic en-

That was the sincere opinion or 4
majority of people who were supposed
to be wisest Economists and experts
solemnly assured us that neither the
financial. the transportation. the indus
trial nor the agricultural resources of
the world could carry on while bearing
the huge burden of waste that the war
involved.
Yet, instead Of ending in six months
or a year, the war lasted four years and
a quarter, the rate Of economic waste
was UNNECESSARILY larger during most
OF that period than. at the beginning,
ANYBODY had imagined II might be; yet,
as whole, the world came out OF the
