To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: In my

used the word treasure" as connecting
gold and silver. which is the common
connotation.
II Is possible. as your Baltimore cor

deposits OF iron ore In Morocco. But
what then? Don't they belong to the
Moors? II Spain wants them why

Cermany's Indemnify Grip.

Much has been said and written
about the capacity of Germany to
discharge her $4,000, ,o00,00O repara-
tions debt, so much indeed that the
other side of the question involving
the capacity of the Entente Allies to
stand taking payment in the man
ner 1t must be made has received a
scant quota Of the attention it's i'm
portance warrants.
A short while ago DR.. WALTER
RATHENAU announced that Germany
would pay her indemnity obligations
in full. This statement from the
German Minister OF Reconstruction
was taken at it's face value by great
many unbiased observers on both
sides of the Atlantic. It was used
also as additional grounds for refut-
ing the repeated assertions by JOHN
M. KEYNES, the English professor,
that Germany never could discharge
the whole reparations debt and that
her default was only a matter of
time.
1t is, however, becoming more and
more apparent as time passes that
German diplomacy with regard to
reparations has been nimbler than
allied diplomacy. Germany could
not obtain modification of the repara.
tions by protesting her inability to
pay, so she Is taking the other way
around the difficulty by promising TO
pay in full. in goods, gold, securi-
ties, foreign exchange. or in any and
every other way that comes to hand.
She could not climb over the fence.
so she will tunnel under it.
All Germany's energies are now
concentrated on intensive production
and worldwide marketing, all her
genius in selling and underselling is
being centred where it will yield the
most immediate and fruitful results
Meanwhile her banking brains have
taken charge of the foreign exchange
market to whisk funds back and
forth from one centre to another,
finally to be converted into dollars
with the maximum advantage to Ger
many, an advantage which always
goes hand in hand with foreknowl-
edge Of huge money transactions.
This foreign trade and foreign ex-
change campaign can hardly be other
than premedltated and purposeful.
But even IL il were not so Ii could
have only one result, and that would
be the passing from the Allies aad
the United States into the hands OF
Germany of large measure OF cln-
troll If not actual domination OF the
international markets both In mer-
chandise and In foreign exchange.
Many positive signs that this al
ready Is happening have begun to
appear. The American commercial
attache at Brazil reports to the De-
partment of Commerce at Washing
ton that German electrical goods.
machinery, chemicals and cement
are pouring into Brazil in large
quantities and at prices from 25 to
75 per cent. below American quota
tions. The attach6 expresses the
opinion that Brazil would have had
favorable trade balance in April
IL the importers had been able to
resist the extremely attractive prices
and credit tefys offered on German
goods.

The wage cuts by Judge LANDS. as
arbitrator in the Chicago building
trades dispute, are not themselves
of SO much Importance as the prin-
\ciples he followed in readjusting the
cales. His decision, for one exam
pie, that ablebodied, competent work
ers who insist on restricting their
output below their easy capacity to
produce more must expect to have
their daily pay correspondingly re-
stricted is as admirable in morals as
it is sound in economics.
Again, the organized workers who
win not permit ordinary labor to
perform the simplest and crudest
work on jobs that belong to them,"
but compel the employer to pay them
the wages of highly skilled workers
for moving rubbish or carrying dead
weight, must, by Judge LANDIs's
opinion. expect to be treated more as
common labor than as skilled labor.
Since they degrade themselves from
the higher to the lower function of
labor their economic rank and their
pay must be similarly degraded.
Nothing is truer and nothing is
more melancholy about the economic
calamity which befell this country
after the war than the fact that the
exorbitant labor costs, which locked
the industrial wheels and threw
millions Of wage earners out OF en-
ployment, were due not merely to
high wage scales but to the low
productivity of workers getting their
inflated wages. There were millions
Of men in this country who were not
doing as much work and not doing 1t
so well for s5 and So day as they
had done 1t before for So and SO a
day. There were thousands of men
in the skilled classlflcations who were
taking SS, SO and SO a day but not
actually earning, by the measuring
stick OF quantity and quality of out
put, as much as the So man had
earned before the war. They killed
American business.
A labor union leadership that in
cites its members to loaf on their
jobs or protects them from discharge
when they do is its own worst en-
cmy. 1t cannot survive. Workers.
organized or unorganized. whose
product becomes less the higher
their pay goes are bringing about
their own ruin with a sureness
which is as sure as death.
No other man In this country ever
aid labor unionism so much harm
as SAM GoMPERs and his associates
have done II in the last year by re-
sisting the restoration of labor's eco
Ionic efficiency and blatting all over
the land that union members wages
must not be reduced whether they
earn them or do not earn them.
The American people are going to
get back to original principles in the
matter OF a fair days work for
fair days pay which gave this coun.
try the economic supremacy of the
world. They are going TO get back
to 1t il they have to steam roller
every Sam Gompers in the United
States as fat as pancake. Judge
Lands, whose interest in American
labor, whatever his shortcomings,
fs genuine and deep seated, knows
this. So when he enforces, among
those for whom he has arbitrated
the disputed points, the very funda.
mental which is under every wage,
every cost and every price he is
moving, in fact, to save organized
labor itself from the rocks upon
which its own wreckers have been
inadly driving 1t.

Thwarting Reform,

The way of the reformer is beset
with obstacles as he seeks to make
perfect an imperfect world. His
noble and disintercsted zeal is at
tackled as selfish, and the words he
has spoken are twisted by knaves to
make trap for fools.
Even this has happened to His
Honor. Having highly resolved that
it would look well in print to have
him announce that unemployed EN-
ployees of the city should go, he is
sued his ukase to the commissioners.
To give verisi1nilitude he decreed
that whosoever among the commits
sioners failed to obey should forth
with quit. For five full minutes
there was CONSERVATION. GLOW does
he get that way?" was the first oues-
tion that rose to the lips Of high
and low officialdom. And then they
returned to normalcy and resumed
the interrupted discussions OF the
merits of Carpenters and Demp-
sey's swings.
To-day, says Aldermanic Presi-
dent La Guardia, "I believe his Tam
many-made commissioners are defy
ing him to his face" 1t is vastly
irritating. Could not the fool COM
nissioners see the good politics of
pretending to obey? Why put a
much-troubled Mayor to the need OF
practically confessing that he meant
what he said only in a Pickwickian
sense?
