He was Democratic U. S. senator
at the time Of his first appointment
to the bench. He was also a
Catholic, being educated at the
Jesuit college in New Orleans and
at Georgetown ID. CO. college. He
was a confederate soldier. IF these
facts elected some criticisms at
the time of his original appoint
.ment to the bench, as they did at
that time among narrow minded
citizens, no criticism ever attached
to his official decision in that re-
spect. In the atmosphere Of the
supreme court bench there was no
room for political, religious, or
sectional prejudice to operate. it
indeed any existed outside the i'm
agination Of his critics. And so
while Mr. Taft is a very strong
partisan Republican and has been
50 all his life we have no fear that
that fact will in anyway disquali-
fly him for the high judicial position
he now assumes. AS judge he
will cease to become a Republican,
and partisanship will be swallowed
up and disappear in the high dignity
of his new non-partisan office.

GERMAN PRINTING.

Another interesting Silesian question
off the beaten track is that of Ian
guage, writes the London Observer S
Berlin correspondent. For some time
past reforms in the writing and spell
ing of Germany have been agitating the
teachers conferences, and though bit
terly opposed by all eager to uphold
the conservative tradition. there is lit
tie doubt that within few years Latin
characters only will be used through
out, both in printed books and in writ

teaching of the double forms. The alb
nouns is the subject of much debate
1t is argued that the eye and as a
consequence, the brain, grasps the gist
of a sentence better when important
words are thus marked for imm ediate
attention.
In. the face of such reforms it came
as blow to the German inhabitants
Of Posen, when that province became
Polish, to discover that from the first

INTERNATIONAL CREDITS.

In connection with the recent an
nouncement concerning the refunding OF
the allied debts the discussion of worid
finance now being carried on II the
independence Beige is particularly IN
teresting. The following article ex-
plains the plan adopted by the interna-
tional financial conference recently
held in Brussels. which would cstab-
Hsh private credits through a guar
antee Of the resources of the country
assessed by special agents appointed
by the League of Nations. The indie
pendence says:
Gin all parts of the earth the most
distinguished economists and the great
est technical experts are trying con
tinually to find a remedy for the firan-
cial confusion which is weighing on im-
povershed Europe. And the problem
in the face of the tremendous debts
occasioned by the war sometimes seems
so difficult to solve that in some cred
itor countries. particularly in America,
some eminent bankers resolutely brave
whole or the part. as the case may
require, of the allied debts.
'This would. indeed. be generous
ure would be almost necessary to bal
ance the European budgets, so terribly
burdened for many long years.
apart from this radical suggestion,
other interesting ideas propose the ere
alton of international financial organ
izations, in order to open credits for
those countries which were victims of
the war. Here is one of the plans,
called the 'Meulen plan, which was
approved by the international finan
cial conference held at Brussels last
September, and by the commission of
international credits. whose vote was
ratified unanimously by the plenary
conference.
so much of it as has been def
nitely accepted constitutes p-actical
project which can be applied as soon
as the nations concerned have express
ed the desire to profit by it.
1.-THE Meulen plan is an attempt to
overcome one of the greatest obsta-
cles to the resumption of normal bust
ness knowing the difficulties of Ger
tain business men in obtaining short
of long terms Of credit which are in
dspensable to their imports. This
project does not pretend to be the nos
trum against all economic evils. =
"The project consists essentially in
this-that it provides encouragement
to commerce by means OF special guar
antees for increasing the credit OF i'm
porters; that these guarantees are to
be formed by state obligations and will
be lent by the state which issues them
to it's own people; that the intrinsic
yalue of these OBLIGATIONS will be e.
tablished SO as to inspire the clients
with confidence from the fact that
these obligations can only be issued to
the amount Of the value in cold Of the

value which must be verified by an m
ternational commission of competent
men. chosen by the League of Nations,
from which they will hold their power;
that these obligations will be of kind
to interest the clients, for the money
in which they will be expressed will
be at the convenience of the clients
lin principle. it will be the money of
their own country.
ut rests on the following suppose
tons:
(a> That everyone is wanting credit
either on short or long terms with
minimum risk for the client;
(h) That every state, however, diff

owns wealth which produces returns
capable of being estimated in gold and
which can be used as guarantee for
an issue of obligations.
(c) That once the gold value is es-
tabIshed and the service Of oblisa-
tons superintended by an independent
commission of competent men acting
as trustees for the holders of the OBJ
legations, these would be considered as
stock of great value and business men
of no matter what country will be
ready to open credits to, the business
men of the country which issued these
obligations, if these can be offered as
guarantee:
Id That without these guarantees,
the necessary credits will not be grant
ed.
"One of the great advantages of the
'Meuien' project is its flexibillty. 1t
does not put a large sum ak at the
disposition of the borrowing country to
be repaid at regular intervals. This
kind of credit would not help much
the operations which are in most need
of encouragement. But the 'Meulen'
project. on the contrary, permits of
forming a reserve of credit which can
be used according to requirements.
This project offers yet another ad-
vantage: 1t puts no impeachment in
the way of normal commerce. Its only
aim is to add a guarantee to the ordl-
nary transactions.
Undoubtedly this project is open to
criticism. But it must be admitted
that no project of international credit
would be absolutely faultess. The
great advantage of this one is that it
provides the means of mobil'zlng the
whole credit of a country in order to
increase that of each single one OF
its own tradesmen. The result would
be that foreign tradesmen who for
meriy hestated to do business with
private firms would no longer need to
hesitate. A first attempt made under
these conditions with the protection of
sure guarantee would give them an
opportunity of seeing themselves
whether they had exaggerated the
risks. II this practical experience
shows the possibility of solid CONNER
eial relations. the fact alone that the
application of the project permitted
these first transactions will contribute
to the Improvement of conditions and
will decrease future risks. There is
every reason to believe that il will be
the beginning of a series of progress
sive improvements which will soon re
instate industry and commerce in such
conditions that they will become pos
sible without special assistance"
