Tomorrow

Tomorrow will be Fire Preven-
ton Day. AS it is the Sabbath, the
nation generally and most properly
will refrain from public exercises
and observances until Monday.
Does not the occasion, however,
present to the citizenry of New York
an unusual opportunity for observing
the day, with due regard for the
obligations of Sunday? To what
better purpose could half an hour or
an hour of tomorrow be put than in
writing to Mayor Hylan and taking
him to task for the great fire hazard
which exists in the public schools Of
the city as the result Of his inept and
needless administration? Would it
rot be an appropriate and SIMPLE
recognition of Fire Prevention Day?
Would it not be in keeping with the
finest conception of civic duty to de-
mand of him that he act forthwith
10 remedy the violations which have
been officially reported by the Fire
Department through the period since
January, 1918? How better could
the parents of New York's 100000
school children employ small part
of their day of rest?
Fire Prevention Day of 1921 will
be remembered by New Workers.. 1t
finds 496 out of 695 of our public
school buildings under the ban of the
Fire Department. In all there are
recorded on the books of the fire
prevention bureau Of the Fire De
partment 1858 separate and distinc.
SCHOOL violations of FIRE ordinances
Their seriousness may be measured
IN a way by the fact that it is csti
mated by the Superintendent OF
School Buildings that it will require
an expenditure of at least Sd 900, ,O0(
:, satisfy the requirements of The
fire Department authorities.
During Hylan's entire administra
ton the complaints of the Fire De
partment concerning school build
ings have been ignored. Approx
nately only $4,000 has been appro
pr:ated for the account Of the schoo
fire hazard. When these facts were
developed by the Meyer committe,
tie fatuous man who is Mavo,
shouted that the newspapers - ex
cepting Hearst's, Of course - wer.

OF thirty-two books included by Mr..

"Joan and Peter" "The Research Mag

Of Mr.. Polly" and "The New Machia-
velli." Now Mr.. Sinclair means "The
History of Mr.. Polly" when he said
"Adventures'; so that may remain.
But we would eliminate "Joan and
Fcter,' "The Research Magnificent"
and even "The New Machiavelli' and
substitute "Kipps," "The Wheels of
Chance" and "Ann Veronica" And
we'd throw out two of Mr.. Sinclair's

Giaw had Hoyt for three years; and
then let him so. The Yanks got him;
and Thursday he up and beat the
Giants. This sometimes happens in
baseball, and in other sports. Some
times a manager refuses to give an
I actor a job; he becomes q rival man

porter for incompetence; rival sheet
makes him a twinkling asteroid.
That is not uncommon. But the

have been cast off; they ere incompc~

StabiZizmg Exchange
Hot0 10 Utilize the Allied Debt for the Benefit of the
Worlds Commerce
By Hiram Barney

Secretary Hoover, in his speech be-
fore the American Manufacturers Ex-
port Association, called the country's
attention to the unsatisfactory posi-
tion Of our foreign trade and the we'll
nigh impossibility Of an improvement
without a stabilization Of exchange.
! He asked for plan whereby such
stabilization could be accomplished,
pointing out that many plans had been
proposed, but that most of them re-
volved around the issue Of fiat paper
and SO to be dismissed as opiates of
commerce and perpetuations of the in
f7ation which is the mother Of insta-
biity.
On the same day Secretary Mellon,
before a committee of Congress, spoke
of the need for immediate action in re-
gard to the refunding of the allied
debt.
These two problems the Allied debt
problem and the problem of fluctuating
e%change-go hand in hand, and on
their solution rests the future pros
perity of the United States and of the
whole world for many years TO come
The Allied debt problem involves sx-
change to such an extent that il can
not be treated as debt problem alone,
and the sterilization of exchange de-
pends to p great extent upon how the
debt problem is handled The two
problems must be handled together.
Bank for Foreign Trade
The following plan for stabilizing
exchange attacks the Allied debt
problem and at the Same time pro-
poses no issue of fiat paper. unless the
currencics of the Federal Reserve
system and OF the old national bank
system are of a fiat character 1t
seeks to establish great Federal Re-
serve Bank for foreign trade indie
pendent Of the Federal Reserve system.
Through this all the foreign trade and
exchange business Of the United States
shall pass, as the domestic business
passes through the Federal Reserve
system to-day.
The Federal Reserve act originally
provided for the establishment of for
eign branches of the Federal Reserve
Bank, but made this voluntary. No
foreign branches were establish ed.
Later the law was amended to make
their establishment mandatory, but
they were not established and the
statement has been made on the floor
of the Senate that the Federal Re-
serve system could not expand and
establish such foreign branches, as
they did not have even sufficient re-
sources to meet the demands Of our
domestic business.
Then let such a bank be established
by Congress with capital of say ST.
100000 900, and let Congress provide
that the Secretary Of the Treasury
shall take 5 per cent al the stock for
the benefit of the people Of the United
States and subscribe any remainder
not taken by the public, holding this
remainder, subject to sale, to citizens
Of the United States. Let it also be
provided that no bank, banker, firm,
corporation or individual other than
this bank shall buy, sell or transfer
dollar balances at more or less than
gold par or buy, sell or transfer for
oign balances at more or less than gold
par without the express authority Of
this BAN. This will send all the for

one will say that the Allied debts are
not worth that much).
On this basis the bank could issue
approximately s3.325 ,00O,C00 currency
which has less imitation in it than much
of the National Bank Currency which
is outstanding to-day.
