New York, November 4.-(Special.)- At last the first real test of the value or the Federal Reserve system so far as our domestic problems are concerned IS underway. All that the Federal Re serve system did during the war and Tor some months after the armistic was slsneo was exceptional, unexpected and Hiaoe necessary by the exigencies of the war and the first months of peace. Now we are about to see whether those things of which prediction was made when the Federal Reserve system be- came the law of the land have Justified thls prediction or whether an incorrect view was taken.
 1T we take for example the financing or the crops it is discovered that the Federal Reserve system has greatly aided that by reason of it's ability al- most instantly to shift funds from the greater Financial centers to those agri- cuitural parts of the country where earnest demand for funds has been made. Under the old system these de- mands were met chiefly tbrougb tho banks in the larger cities and esnecial- ly the banks of New York.
 The Secretary of the treasury in 1914 before the Federal Reserve system was in operation sent $2O0OO 900 of treasury money to the banks in the agricuitural sections of the country so that these banks might the more easily meet the demand for funds with which to move the crops. At the time this was done 1t was spoken of as worthy of all commendation. For then the Federal Reserve system was not organized nor was 1t in operation until about three niohths aiter the European war began
 But the S20,000,00o which the treas- urY department sent to various banks in the agricul- tural district was trifling item in comparison with the aid given this year oy Federal Reserve banks to the farm CTS and to the cotton growers. Many complaints have been heard based upon the alleged failure of the Federal Reserve board to pay due heed to the needs of the farmers and some of these complaints have come from influential farmers organizations. And yet the reports which have come from Federal heserVe districts show that many hun dreds or millions have been furnished by the Federal Reserve banks to the farming community.
 WHAT RICHMOND REPORTS
 For instance. the Washington re- Forts show that the Richmond Federa, Reserve district received $3So,Oo 900 through the rediscounting of paper SIX years ago the entire agricultural district received only s20.00O. 900 from the Federal Reserve treasury. The New York district furnished to the rest of the country nearly $470 00O, 900 which is' about $20o.00o,o00 more than it re- ceived.
 The Federal Reserve bulletin admits that the present season is the first in which the new banking machinery has had and is still having a decisive test. Before we became one of the bel iigerents the amount of credit which was released was stupendous and there was great influx of gold. Therefore the Federal Reserve banks were not

Hubbard Bros.

New York. November 4.-(SpeciaL)- Cables this morning were rather disap- pointing. Considering the fact that the coal strike was settled here. the mar ket slowly sold off about half cent pound under yesterdays closing prices with no particular liquidation in evi- dence. On the other hand, there IS nt- tie increase in the demand, so that tae market fluctuates rather easily, as fifsl the south has more to sell than the spn- ner is willing to buy, and then the re verse. There is, however, no improve ment in the demand for cotton goods, so that the spinner is unwilling to ouy ahead, and when, as today, the southern selling was more than could be absorbed by the mere daily requirements Of the trade, prices sagged off. We think that this is likely to be the case for some time to come until either we have an iin- provements in the demand or more de- sire on the part of the south to seli' Local sentiment, which has been buliisn recently, is less so today owing to the fact that no fresh speculative demand appears iii any of the markets as rn- locals had expected as a result of the election.-Hubbard Bros.

league of nations to reconcile and
unite the interests Of capitalisuc
governments were the most impor-
tant factors promoting the aims OF
the third internationale, one of which
was to consolidate and organize

The league of nations. a prey to

in the position of colonies.

power as a means of service to all
as it had been shown they
were the enemies of the working
