FINANCE.

We get different accounts Of the
condition Of business and industry
in Germany. Some indicate that
the country is well on the road to
recovery; other, that 1t is on the
verge of the bottomless pit An cx-
tremGly depressing view is ex-
pressed by Director Won Gwinner,
Of the Deutche Bank, based upon
the fact that the value Of the mark
has nearly disappeared The in
dustrieS may perhaps be getting on
their feet, but the finances must be
in a pretty desperate condition
when the foreign exchange value of
the mark has declined from 23.S
cents to 1.01 cents.
The depreciation of the mark is
No mystery, and it is not due to the
peace terms. An enormous amount
Of German property was consumed
in the war. and this must affect
the German credit after the war.
here is, however. a more immediate
and a more compelling reason for
the depreciation of the mark, which
has almost reached the zero point.
The circulation of marks just be-
fore the war Immediately after the
armistice and in the middle of last
month was as follows:
July 25. 1914........ 1880 500. 600
/ November IA, 191S....17,113,473 600
/ January Is, 1920. ....35, SIS, 571 900

siasm for it.
Such nation can get a good deal
for itself, though it remains doubt
full if in the long run the harm it
does to others will not react. But
only such nation can pursue a
purely selfish foreign policy with
any profit. To do so requires a
powerful oligarchls government and
submissive people. Germany was
such a nation; there are only two
in the world today, Bolshevist Rus
2ia and Japan. The United States
is not such a nation and never can
be Those who would have US fol-
low such a policy might have ex-

The Substantial Citizen

The American home is the cor.
ner stone of the nation. II pro-
notes the stability of the family,
stimulates the love of our coun.
try, and is the best safeguard of
law and order in society.
Few people really like to live
in hotels and apartment houses
or eat in a restaurant in prefer
ence to the enjoyments of a
home, but many do so because
of barriers of one kind or an
other which stand IN the way of
the home.
Building costs are more than
offset by high rents being
charged. Home building today
is a business the same as bank
ing and any enel getic man can
finance a home through a long
time loan If he so chooses.
The ownership of d piece of
real estate is a fine thing from
every point of view. 1t gives
the holder a standing and a self
respect he would not otherwise
have. 1t promotes business COLI
fdence in him and makes him
one of the substantial upstand.
ing pillars of the community.
Begin it today. Own your
own home. Gel in line to be the
sold citizen of tomorrow.
