COLLAPSE of the German mark to

time in financial history has
caused loss OF millions of dollars to
American investors and spectators.
The exact amount of this loss is diff
cult to even approximate.
The guess of one banker is that no
less than $1O0.0O0.0OO worth of marks
have been disposed of in the United
States since the armisfice, and that
the average price paid for these marks
was approximately PA cents. On that
basis. and at the present quotation,
approximately co cents of every Amer

CONFERENCE
Continued from Page One.)

GLIDING Germany. Germany has no
concern with naval ornaments be
cause she has no ships. The same is
true Of Poland. Czecho-Slovakia, and
JugO-Slayia. These new nations have
no navies. but the size of their armies
lies for example at the heart Of how
large an army Italy feels she must
have. and is otherwise bound UP with
the whole question Of the limitation Of
armament by land
The outstanding feature of the sec
Ondarv conference. and Of any future
conferences that Harding may call,
will be the same as the outstanding
feature OF the present One-namely, a
strict Limitation OF the agenda of each
gathering to probably one, and GER
tainly not more than two, specific sub
jects agreed upon in advance.
Sufficient Distinction.
This is alone and in itself a suffic-
lent distinction between these con
ferences and League of Nations TO
carry complete reinsurance to the iT-
reconcilables both in the senate and
throughout the country. There will be
no big or loose conferences to take
action upon the state of the world in
general.
II is true that conference NnlCu
considers land armament will find ii
difficult TO keep reparations, inter-na-
ton debts, and other economic aspects
of Europe outside the doors. Just as
soon as France is asked to reduce her
army. she will ask how she is going
to enforce the payment Of German
reparations
But when and if America calls a
conference which is to include repara-
lions and other economic matters
America will do so. not in her present
role Of one of the directly and primar-
lily interested parties, but rather in the
role Of a mediator who offers his seTv-
ices to help bring about agreement be-
tween others.
President Harding is rapidly emerg-
ing upon the world as one who has an
unusual faculty for generating and "a
dating harmony-for as he sometimes
. says, getting men to march in step"
1t would be quite in the spirit of this
role for him TO call the nations of Eu.
rope, who are chiefly interested, into
q conference to settle the primarily
European troubles of land armament
and reparations,-Cop Copyright 1921 by

period railroad wages, however. ill.,

to three billion sixty million dollars.
The throwing up of tariff barriers
for which the farmers plead Will. in
the end, not only fail to accomplish
its purpose-the lettering of the
farmers condition-but will do the
very opposite. And the crux of this
misconception lies in the failure of
the advocates Of the Emergency
Tariff Bill to realize that this coun-
Try has been transformed from a
debtor to the leading creditor na-
ton Of the world.
Actual relief of the present CON
dition can come only through the
creation Of new markets and out
lets for the products Of the farmer
and not by artifcially increasing
the prices Of goods entering into
domestic consumption. This result
can be accomplished best by open
ing up our foreign markets to take

creased wage award of 1920 rail-
road wages represented an increase
of $50 per cent over 1915, while the
cost of living. as estimated by the
National Industrial Conference
Board, was only 90 per cent. above
the cost OF living figure for 1915.
The annual return on railroad In
vestment for the last eleven years
proves that the railroads did
not proiteer during the var and
after-war periods. On the contrary,
their return steadily declined. while
the earnings of railroad employees

billion dollars in three years. This
increase in payroll was to compen-
safe for the increase in the cost Of
living. But the railroad investor
was o only compensated in the
same deprecated dollar that the

the investor received fewer dollars.

over Il surplus supplies. The fu-
ture prosperity of the country de-
ponds largely upon our activities In
foreign fields of commerce. and q
policy so archaic and provincial as
to shut off our commercial inter
course with the world cannot rem
edy the unfavorable conditions
against which we are now fighting.
A systematic campaign TO bring
about lower Federal Reserve dis
count rates and to increase the vol
ume of our currency has been
launched. The specific detectives
sought are a general decrease in re-
discount rates based on farm COM
modities from I to 6 per cent and
an increase of one and three-quar-
ter billion dollars in Federal Re
serve Notes.
There has also been referred TO
the House Committee on Banking a
bin which would limit the interest
chargeable by the Federal Reserve
Banks to ) per cent per anuum.

Of whether paper based on farm

! commodities merits a preferential

mistake lies in the effort TO bring
political pressure to bear on the
Federal Reserve Board. which
should be as free from such consid-
erations as the United States Su-
preme Court. The policies Of the
Federal Reserve Board must be de-
termined by the economic factors
alone.
The passage Of the bill which
proposes TO limit interest rates OF
the Federal Reserve Banks would
automatically revive currency infia-
ton and deprive the Federal Re-
serve Banks of all power they now
possess for controlling Initiation.
The inevitable result would be to
~recreate conditions which could pre-
cipitate money panics, one Of the
chief things the Federal Reserve
System was designed TO prevent.

one and three-quarrer billion dol
lars to Federal Reserve Notes
would not relieve the financial con-
dition Of the farmer or business
man. but. on the contrary. would

viving currency imitation and all its
attendant evils. More productivity
