"World Reserve Bank"

Frank T. vanderlip's proposal for
an international or world reserve
bank" contains possibilities which
might we'll furnish the key necessary
for the solution Of the international
financial collapse.
Roughly, Mr.. Vanderlip's plan Is for
financial institution, patterned after
our reserve bank system. to serve the
various countries OF the world. He
proposes a capital Of one billion dol
lars, to be subscribed by the various
control resting in the United States at
least for the period Of Europe's recon-
struction. At first one-half and later
Fthree-quarters OF all profits over 8 per
cent are to go to the participating
government, for which the banks To-
Gated in the several countries are to
be given extraterritorial rights and
are to be protected against discrim-
mating legislation.
Based on the banking scheme which
has worked with such remarkable
success in the United States, there
seems to be no doubt that with proper
safeguards 1t could work equally well
in the several states of Europe. BY
furnishing q pool in which to mass
credit, It would accomplish the main
thing for which Europe is now look
ing, and by using dollar notes, as pro-
posed, many Of the difficulties OF
international trade resulting from
the deprecated European currencies
And. finally, receiving its charte.
from the league OF nations and tying
up one country with another in strong
financial bonds. such q bank might
serve to aid In preventing wars.-Bos-

A Slogan Out of Season.

Lets co. is the slogan in certain
democratic quarters. 1t seems to have
been assumed there that both Con.
Sress and the administration have
failed, and that the duty Of the hour
on the part Of the democratic man,
agement is to collect, and then spread
the details. A risky assumption.
Congress has not failed. There are
serious republican divisions on Capitol
Hill, but none is past remedy. All, un.
der pressure, should be. and may be,
healed. Efforts to that end are now
being made.
The administration has not failed.
On the contrary, it is making progress.
1t has done some notable things, and
been congratulated on them. The
Presidents popularity is general, and
an asset. The country believes in him,
and testif1es at every opportunity to its
feelings. He has shown, and is show
ing, initiative and courage, and they
are among the hallmarks of leader.
ship.
So far as legislation is concerned,
the republicans are fortunate in that
a reasonable time for testing their i'm.
portant measures must elapse before
judgment on them will be called at the
polls. Next election day is year
away, and a revised tax law. and
tariff law. and transportation, law
should all be on the books shortly.
The test. of course, must come, and
the republicans must abide by the re.
suit. If they succeed in putting the
right record to their credit they will
be indorsed, and the Sixty-eighth Con-
gress will continue many of the lines
traced by the Sixty-seventh. If they
fail; if the years test is against their
legislative record. nothing can save
them.

the crown, however, is due to the al

Much Of the recent fall in mark

cision Of the league council in the
case of the partition of Upper Silesia,
which mainly favored Poland. Ger
many had built high hopes upon the
partition leaving in her hands a major
part of the valuable mines, and the
reaction of disappointment has un'
doubtedly added to the feeling Of panic.

Inadequate Street Lighting.

President King of the Merchants
| and Manufacturers Association. in a
letter sent to the District Commission.
ers, urges an increase in the illumina.
ton of the streets Of Washington as
a means Of lessening crime in this
city. His particular complaint Is that
the danger to life and property has
been increased by turning OIL the
street lights before the actual coming
Of daylight. ....,
Time was, some years ago, when
Washington depended on the moon for
illumination. When the moon was
past the first quarter all gas lamps
were turned off. and remained off un-
til It reached the fourth quarter. On
clear nights the moon shone brightly
enough, perhaps. to light up most OF
the city, though there were some very
dark spots in the corners and on the
shadow sides Of the streets. But II the
clouds developed and obscured the sky
the city was in stygiap darkness. One
night an atrocious murder was COM
mitted while the moon was clouded
and tho lamps were extinguished. and
this attracted attention to the lack Of
proper illumination. Then began the
system Of lighting the streets every
night without reference to the moon
and without dependence upon clear
skies.
If the lamps are turned off before 1t
is really light Washington is not prop
erly illuminated. There should be full
lights in the streets Of the city from
the first dimming of the sun in the
evening to the actual rising in the
morning, and no consideration Of
economy should prevail to lessen it.
The complaint now laid before the
Commissioners should result in imme'
diate inquiry into the practice of street
illumination here. II the appropriations
for street lighting are not big enough
to insure 100 per cent lighting. they
should be increased. If the scale Of
hours is wrong it should be changed.
And in any case the Commissioners
should move for more lights and better
lights in those parts Of the city where
now the streets are dinly lit and
where crime at night Is possible with
out detection.

Marks and Crowns.

The German mark at forty-seven
hundredths of cent is at the lowest
point in the history of that currency,
and, indeed, practically the lowest
point ever reached by the money of a
major nation save that Of dismem.
bered Austria. At yesterdays quota.
tfon the mark stands at less than 2
per cent of it's normal value, which is
23.S cents.
This phea.rnenon Of the constantly
depreciating German money unit in
foreign exchange is due primarily to
the enormous debt which the German
government owes in reparations for
war damages. The industrial situation
In Germany is not so bad as to account
for the slump. 1t is better, indeed, than
in some other countries in Europe, the
currency of which, while deprecated,
IS in no degree as bad as that Of Ger
many. German mills are busy and
