What the World Is Doing

Y 7 IS impossible to attach nythng but the greatest
import internationally to the visit here OF Rene
Viviani, former French premier. because the in
II cident is the first tangible step toward a
peace and undoubtedly will be followed by the
sst Of other foreign ENJOYS and by definite ncgotia
tions in spite of some divergence of opinion in
Congress there is movement toward constructive
program and the problems in their many phases will
be threshed out in the Senate after the
session begins.
The situation is optimistic than before the
visit. 1t is the belief among Senators that some
thing constructive should be done settling inu-
upon Europe, and the interview Viviani had with
President Harding and Secretary Hughes encouraged
him hope for the development OF some definite pol
icy toward an association league OF nations. He
will dine with the President members of the Cabinet
and Senators at the White House and French Embassy
during the week Of April S. when closer understand

country and Germany will be sought.

Quick Choice Needed

The charge has repeatedly been made
that Germany has purposefully pursued
course Of extreme imitation in order
to defeat the provisions of the peace
treaty. Whether or not there is any
justification for this statement is more
or less irrelevant. Possibly there are
good grounds for believing that the
statement contains grain of truth.
Certainly on the surface it would ap-
pear, however, that the provisional gov
ernment was between the devil and the
deep sea, and it had to choose--and had
to make the choice quickly-between
anarchy and imitation. 1t chose the
easier way, and the wheels of imitation
were set in motion and the endless cir
Gle began, destined to drag Germany
deeper and deeper into the mire of
irredeemable currency
What are the effects on industry
and how long more can this process
continue Reflection Of the redun-
dant state of currency has been had
in the continual decline of the mark
abroad. 1t is rapidly approaching the
condition of it's Polish prototype. This
rapid decline is beginning to mirror
of the mark has, however, been higher
than it's external value, due to Gov
ernment subsidies on food, transpor-
tatfon, maintenance of maximum prices
or fuel and regulation of rents, all
of which result in keeping wages low.
Hence, the lower standards of living,
costs of production have been smaller

Dress Men to Check
Doubtful Credit Cases

To combat the growing number of
fraudulent failures among small re-
tailers, members of the Associated
Dress Industries of America are sub
scribing to a fund for the purpose of
prosecuting cases of wilful malpractice.
"It is recognized" said David N.
Mosessohn, executive director of the
manufacturers association, "that col
lections in the garment business, as in
other lines, have shown some slowness.
This condition has become so general
that many retailers are known to have
taken advantage of the leniency of
manufacturers to hold them up in their
payments. Some cases are known
where retailers have executed assign
ments or filed bankruptcy petitions in
order to effect settlements at frac-
tion Of their face value.
"Many cases of slow pay are iusti-
fable, due to existing economic condi-
tions. These cases. which represent
dealers whose records are clean. should
be given whatever reasonable time
they require in order to tide them over.
Their credit is good and their future
business is desirable.
"Others, however, have ALWAYS been
slow, or are habitual returners or can
cellers, or they may have been in bust
ness for only Short time before seek
ing credit advantages to which they
are really not entitled.

observation of our credit bureau. which

Rise lin Exchange
Affects Raw Wool
Markets i'm u. S.
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

BOSTON, Dec. 17.-Recent advances
in the rate of exchange ar the sub
ject of some comment among wool
dealers here, as this of course makes
the cost of importation higher. Within
short time the price of sterling has
risen to around S4,24, compared to 50
only few weeks ago.
Added to this the manufactures are
having their difficulties in finding
available a suitable supply of wool.
During the last week there has been
more interest in fine wool than. has
been noticed for several weeks. In
spite of all that is said, it is felt that
the public of this country still prefer
the goods made from the fine three
eights, half-blood and finer wools.
Fabrics manufactured from these
wools are more desirable for the
climate of this country Coarse,
loosely woven cloths have some tenn
porary vogue from time to time, but
these on which the mills realize their
dealer in position to know, are made
from the finer qualities of fibre.
Coupled with the demand for fine
woods Is the fact that the supply of
Super" wools, of the best style of any
grade, is extremely low, or, according
to some dealers, completely exhausted.
as far as the domestic market is con-
cerned. The superior qualities of all
grades have been diminishing ever
since last May. This is one Of the
factors causing the strong upward
movement, notwithstanding the fact
that reports from the goods market are
of little or no encouragement, whether
in regard to heavyweights, light
uroiUbtr o1fiac
Every foreign market has advanced.
New Zealand is 10 per cent higher than
two months ago, and Australia H 10 to
Is per cent higher on fine woods than
two weeks ago. At sale in Hull, Eng
land, merino woods similar to those
offered in London the previous week
sold at s per cent advance. Fine
cross-bred wools advanced 10 per cent.
These increases, added to those in the
price of sterling and the duties, will
make the final price lofty figure. In
the face of the scarcity of fine wool
and the emergency tariff one large
manufacturing concern is reported to
have taken out of bond one hundred
bales of fine Australian wool, at clean
estimated cost of $1.40 pound.
The government is apparently en-
couraged by the great success of the
last auction, and is to offer about eight
million pounds of wool at sale to be

Reducing Deficit

In order to restore a semblance of
stability in exchange, at least for the
time being, until a permanent solution
may be found, it appears to the writer
that first and foremost Germany must
make supreme effort along the line
of reducing its deficit. Inertia and
purely political considerations have
tain a situation that ought not to be
tolerated. One effective way of reduc-
ing this deficit is for the government
to transfer to private ownership the
railways which it has taken over from
hte states. In 1920-1921 the deficit
from government operations of the
railways amounted to 100000, 900
marks, and in 1921-1922 it is expected
to reach 19,00O,0o0,o00 marks. These
undertakings were once upon time the
most profitable in the world In 1912
the PrusSian government had obtained
6. net revenue of 843,000,O00 marks
marks at the present time), despite the
fact that tariffs were comparatively
low.
1t has been repeatedly stated that
there is superfuous number of en-
rloyees on the payrolls,s and it is also
a known fact that the government, be-
ing in weak position, is forced to
yield to the constant clamors for in
creased wages. 1t is apparent that the
return of the railroads to the states is
impossible, because the latter could
lot undertake to carry the financial
burden and would be unable to cope
with the mass of political considera-
tions which this transfer involves.
They should be returned to private
ownership and the loss attaching there
to will have to be written off as war
loss. Assurance will have to be given
that rates will be large enough to yield
q net return on investment. The un-
DERIVING prerequisite is the estab-
sishment of a government that is far
sighted enough and sufficiently strong
to Withstand tha pressure from indns.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-18
Funded Its Debt

After the outbreak of the war the
German government did not proceed to
adjust its revenues to the extraordi-
nary needs oocasioned by the conflict.
but contented itself merely with rapid.
ly placing its debt in funded form, is
suing loans twice year with regu-
larity. Hopes of quickly defeating the
enemy were universally entertained,
and hence it was not thought necessary
to impose additional taxes and thus
incur the possibility of impairing the
morale of the forces behind the firing
lines. This policy was carried out to
such an extreme that for a time pay
ments of interest on war loans we're
made out of fresh loans rather than
through taxation. The general feeling
was that the conquered would bear the
brunt of the burden. Only as the con-
fiict became protracted and thoughts OF
crushing victory began to fade did it
dawn upon those at the helm of the
government that a revision in fiscal
methods would have to be undertaken.
1t was not until 1917 that Germany
made real effort along the lines Of
war taxation. The close of the war
found the country with total debt of
about 100 billion marks, Of which 63
per cent was, however, in funded form.
Continental belligerents. Furthermore,
the Reichsbank circulation was only
17,454 millions, and the ratio Of re-
serves to notes was 14.7 per cent.
1t was at this period that the trouble
began. With the signing of the armis-
tlce the provisional government found
its task difficult one. Bolshevism
and radicalism in general were ram
pant; food and fuel shortage was pro-
nounced and industry was stagnating
through the removal of the war impe-
tus. Demobilization, which had to be
carried out in hurried order, increased
the rank and file of unemployed. The
soldiers had come in touch with their
Russian "brothers" in arms and had
become imbued with impetuous tend
encies. In order to avoid it's utter col
lapse and maintain the unity of the
country, the provisional government
was forced by circumstances to under
take the feeding of the masses, to take
over the railroads, to regulate rents
and to create public subsidies on many
articles of necessity. In view of the
interruption in the flow Of revenue as
consequence of industrial and tinan-
cial chaos, the government set the
printing presses to work, and currency
expansion during the war fell into the
shade beside postwar imitation. In the
last two months of 1918 over six bill
lion marks in notes were issued, mainly
at the Reichsbank on the basis of gov
ernment treasury bills, which were dis
counted with it. In the following year
the total circulation increased 17,000,-
100000 more; in 1920 by 33,000,00O, 900
more, and in 1921 to date by about 25,-
000. 100000 more.
