URGES STRIVING FOR
A NORMAL BALANCE
National City Expert Decries
Too Much Talk in Terms
of Money Only.

Stop talking about cost of living in
terms of money only; stop sticking to the
logic that il is correct to reduce wages
only as the cost of living is reduced;
recognize that the purchasing power of
money is of as much Importance when

The foregoing epitomizes the contri-
button of George e. Roberts. vice-presl-
dent and economist of the National City
Bank 20 methods for ending depression
IN the banks May letter to correspond
ents. Mr.. Roberts says In part:
"A great portion of the population
suddenly has lost a large part of its
purchasing power. The people in the
other industries. employers and en-
ployees alike. seem to have no definite
idea about what has happened to them,
but are sitting around, trying to cheer
each other up and watching the skies
for better weather.
"They say that this is a country OF
wonderful resources. and are sure 1t
will go ahead. because 1t always has,
and in this they are undoubtedly right.
but f we all understand the conditions
which must exist before 1t goes ahead,
We may help to bring them about.
Take the case OF the cotton grower.
who Is getting about the same price for
his cotton that he did before the war.
His cotton is shipped upon a railroad
whose charges are more than so per
cent higher than before the war and
whose employees are getting more than
100 per cent. higher wages than at that
~
withstanding recent reductions, are get
ting 100 per cent higher wages than
before the war; the coal consumed in
TRANSPORTATION and in the manufacture
of cloth costs twice as much as before
the war: because wages and other min
ing expenses are twice as high as then:
the cloth is made into clothing by labor
which receives twice as much as be-
fore the war, and. finally. with various
other expenses and profits added with
n like percentage OF initiation, the cot
ton garment comes back over the rail-
road and is offered for sale to the cot
ton grower.
''The rest OF the farming community
is in the same situation. Is 1t any won-
der that the market for cotton goods
has fallen Off or that the decline is
principally In the rural trade?
"The next thing is to stop talking In
terms OF money only when compensa-
tion is concerned. According to a sur
vey by the Bureau of Labor, Wash
ingtoa, about 100000 persons In the
ranks OF the wage workers are out of
employment What Is the good OF lay

1t is expected here that as SION as
something definite is done to collect
reparations from the Ruhr industries
France will be flooded with a series of
new internal loans for the reconstruc-
ton OF ruined towns and cities, as we'll
as the repairing OF large textile and
metallurgical works. The 6is per cent.
loan, however, is understood not to be
getting the support expected, and 1t is
doubtful IL similar issues will bo sue
cessfuI, at least until Industrial recon-
struction emissions begin to show re-
suits by increased production.
Another series or loans is anticipated
ty the city OF Paris and the Seine De-
partment, both Of whose budgets are
showing deficits of 5O0,000,0O0 francs.
The Paris Issue will be for 1,S0o.00 900
francs. and that or the Department OF
the Seine for 500,o00,00O francs, each
bearing 6 per cent, free from all taxes.
/ tis believed that these will beat all
records as the Paris 1919 issue was
oversubscrihed tenfold.
The Bourse last week showed remark
able improvement. The Bank of Eng
lands reduction of discount from to

symptom and banks do not fear fur
