low wages, but although it seems prob
able that the rate of real wages in
Germany and Great Britain will gradu-
ally approximate, it is undoubtedly true
that the spur given German exports by
the need of meeting the indemnity will
hit those industries in other countries
that compete with German products
in foreign markets.
May Affect American Goods
American industry may possibly be
affected in certain lines, but you be-
ing almost self-sufficient and the
worlds creditor will likely be much
less seriously affected than Great Brit
ain, which could not support it's pres
ent population without an active and
prosperous export trade.
McKenna's remedy was to demand
German payment in coal, timber, potash
and sugar. This scheme would be in
effective in producing nearly the full
amount demanded for reparations and
the effect of demanding coal would be
nearly as pad on BRUSH INDUSTRY as
on manufacturers. His whole argument
assumed that the worlds demand for
goods is necessarily limited. This is
questionable.
If the world only had sense enough
to stop pickering and quarreling over
war expenditures and put the same en-
ergy now wasted in international in
trigue into developing and enjoying
the worlds resources, it would quickly
develop consumptive demand power
fully and be able to absorb the in
creased nroduction of all countries

LONDON, June 19.-Despite the
/ overwhelming majority vote of the
miners in favor OF continuing the coal
strike, 1t is confidently expected in
British financial circles that the men
VIII return to work this week to take
advantage of the governments offer of
s1o,ooo,o00 to ease the effect of the
severe wage reduction.
The adverse vote was not entirely
unexpected, although many had hoped
that acceptance of the government plan
would be wholehearted. No one can
forecast with any certainty the result
on Industry of the end of the strike
which has been so ohstinately waged.
At first sight it seems likely that the
men will be forced back-if they do
yield as expected-only by an exhaus-
tion of funds, and they will not return
cheerfully or ready to make the effort
necessary for a revival of industry.
Many we'll informed observers think,
however, that although the struggle
has been so long maintained owing to
the obstinate desire to support the
leaders policy, nevertheless the whole
dreary business will be found to have
had d good effect by emphasizing the
futility OF the strike as weapon ex-
cept in times Of active, prosperous trade.
Fate in Workingmen's Hands
No one is able to penetrate the men
tality of the British workingman, how
ever, or know what he intends to do,
and the country's industrial fate is
largely in his hands, although the ac-
tion Of the employers in making use Of
their victory is enormously important.
Although there was hitch in nego-
tiations in the cotton industry pre-
venting resumption of work after an
agreement had been reached between
employers and workers, it is believed
that an end to the dispute is near and
that no further trouble will materialize
when a meeting is called in the coming
week to sign the agreement Pros
poets of industrial peace are also
brighter in the engineering trade, and
It is generally agreed that good de-
mand is waiting to be satisfied when

Workingmen's Hands; Competition Looming

trade is resumed on satisfactory
scale.
My belief is unshaken, despite a
deadlock of nearly three months, that
the country's common sense will ulti-
mntely prevail, and I am still convinced
that it is only hard work that can
bring back prosperity.
The lesson to be learned from inter
national intercourse was clearly rubbed
in by former Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Reginald McKenna in q
speech on the German indemnity ques-
tion, in which he called attention to
the threat to British industry grow
ing out of the stimulus of German ex-
ports, largely similar to British prod
ucts, to meet Germanys annual pay
ments abroad in the form of goods
and securities.
McKenna maintains that real wages
in Germany--that is, wages gauged by
buying power-are only half those for
similar work in Great Britain and he
believes that this disparity may con-
tinue until the whole of Gernany's
obligation is wiped out, because Ger
man workers will be told that if they
demand higher standard the indem-
nifty cannot be paid and conse quently
plans for an Allied invasion will be
renewed, with revival of the economic
blockade and wartime misery.
This assumption is somewhat doubt.

States had been driven into bank
ruPtcy. The recent decision of the
Railroad Labor Board, while it was
disappointing to railroad men in that
1T did not rescind in full the last
granted wage increase, is step in the
right direction and conditions have got
SO bad that it would seem there must
be turn for the better in the near
future. This applies to such roads as
Atchison, Southern Pacific, Illinois
Central, etc. Furthermore, there was
some improvement in April railroad
earnings, although part of the i'm
provement was made because of small
er maintenance expenses.

Expect to Pay Interest

Deposits actually made under the
Allied Packers reorganization plan
and assurances given as to additional
deposits, lead the company to believe
that enough security holders will as
sent to the readjustment to assure
its consummation. Accordingly, the
company expects to pay the interest
due July l on the outstanding deben-
lures in order TO maintain the present
position of the various classes of Sc
curities pending completion of the

Tor Am wise to hold on? What do you
adVise as to sale and reinvestment in case
Of sale? Would not know how TO sell
Guaranty Trust.-H. P.
Answer-the first question you will
have to decide for yourself is as to
whether you desire to continue to hold
any securities, either bonds or stocks,
which are speculative. You say that
this is a sealed book to you, and our
advice would be for you to test each
one of your securities as to whether
they are speculative or not, and get
rid Of all of those that are speculative,
even if by so doing you take a present
loss. Union Pacific preferred in our
opinion, is a good investment. The
stock of the Guaranty Trust Company
is business mans investment. The
price is so high that quotations fuctu-
ate many points between sales. We
would advise you to hold on to your
Union Pacific and to sell all the others,
including the Guaranty. We think that
in the present market foreign govern
ment bonds are selling at low price.
We suggest the United Kingdom 54zs,
due 1887; Kingdom of Denmark IS, due
1945, and Government of Switzerland
Is, due 1910. Virginian Railway first
5s, due 1862, are selling in the neigh
borhood of 81, which would yield you
6.22 per cent if you held till maturity.

NAL income tax, considerably, without
in our opinion, sacrificing any impor-
tant degree of safety, by the sale of
some Of your bonds, especially the
short-term ones, and the purchase of
good preferred stock. American Tele-
phone and Telegraph is common
stock. but, in our opinion, is a good
investment where it forms only part
of an investment plan, and Baldwin
Locomotive preferred is good invest
ment. We would also suggest Ameri-
can Car and Foundry preferred, Ma
tional Biscuit preferred, Liggett &

that is, if you buy ten rights you can
buy two shares of stock at par We
think that the new French 71ss are
gpod investment. The important point
about them, in our opinion, is the fact
that they run to 1941 and are not calla-
Bile. The French Republic, however,
does not pay the United States income
tax on them. They are free from
French taxes and are payable in
United States gold in New York.
