consequent transfer OF many em-

td) Reduction Of the number Of

(e) The reduction OF the work

For Home Building Campaign.
1t was on the construction in
dustry. however. that the confer
ence centered its greatest attention.
Administration officials have been
very anxious to get the building
trades situation Strengthened out in
preparation for a big home building
campaign. With q shortage of
more than a million homes" and
all kinds of building behind ma
tional necessity" the conference re-
ported more than 2.000,0 900 people
could be employed IL construction
were resumed"
The conditions In the construction
industry, which are regarded as one
of the main factors in business de-
preston, do not exist everywhere,
the conference found.
Community Action Needed.
Where conditions have been
righted, construction should pro-
coed. But there is still a need of
community action in provision of
capital on terms that will encourage
home building. Where the costs are
still above the other economic levels
of the community there should be
searching inquiry and action in the
situation"
Volunteer committees have been
working for months in preparation
OF measures for making home build
Ing simpler and less expensive 1t
is likely that, following the first
steps taken by the mayors and gov.
ernors in line with the conference
suggestions on the subject, the
board plans now being developed
for a home building campaign will
be promulgated.

Funding the British Debt

Referring to the reports that there
has been some preliminary talk be-
tween the Secretary Of State and the
British Embassy with view to the
funding of the heavy debt incurred in
the United States by Great Britain
during the war, The London Statist
remarks that these conversations can
only be Of preliminary nature. More
over" the English publication adds,
sit may be assumed with confidence
that no steps will be taken in so I'M
rortant matter until some financial
expert is selected and sent out to as
slst the ambassador in discussing the
matter with the financial authorities
OF the United States government. AS
soon as circumstances admit, there can
be no reasonable doubt it is highly
desirable that some steps should be
taken for arranging how the British
debt to the United States is to be
Ultimately paid, and what form it is
to take until that period arrives. In
as much, however. as it is not possible
to pay Immediately the vast sum owed,
il may De desirable that the several
loans should be converted into some
more or less permanent form. 1t has
to be remembered that in the final we
in Europe can only hope to pay these
debts by exporting commodities, by the
sale of securities, or by rendering
services, not necessarily, of course, to
the United States"

other decline in rates on leading Euro
pesn centers, the sinking spell carry
ing sterling back three-fourths of 8
cent to S3.7412 for cables.
Rates on France, Italy, Spain, Bel
GUM and Scandinavian countries also
ruled easier, but Greek exchange was
firm. German marks sagged sharply,
showing loss of 314 points, at 1.42A
cents for cables.
Changes during the week were again
feverish, as evidences of Germany's ac-
emulation OF dollars were again felt,
and other factors tended to weaken
the position of Europe. Sterling ca
bles fell more than 10 cents net and
the value of the dollar in England rose
TO $3.50. The recovery in Portuguese
rates and the continued slump in ex-
change on Poland were two interesting
features. The peseta advanced in value
from 10h to 1914 cents, one of the
widest fluctuations in nans months.
Polish marks dropped to $50 TO the dol

China Trade Holds lis Own

April, 1921. exports from the United
States to China, amounting to S9,032,-
104, about equal in value those of March
of $9,726, ,029, although both months
fall below the S12,700,o00 average for
January and February of this year and
show a considerable drop from the
$145,T36,732 worth of American goods
shipped to China in 1920. The items
showing q decrease were cigarettes,
locom otives, passenger automobiles,
lubricating oil, steel plates, parafin,
wrought iron pipes and structural iron
and steel, while Illuminating oil, leaf
tobacco, unbleached cotton cloths, lun-
her and steel rails showed Increases.
The actual volume of shipments to China
during April has undoubtedly increased,
due to general decline in prices.

not listed, has decided to forego cash
dividends at this time and substitute
payments in scrip, because Of the un-
settled state of the oil industry. This
supplied the profe ssioual traders with
aS argument for setting many OF the
oils. and Mexican Petroleum, which has
been weak for several days, dropped
below 1870. Pan-American Petroleum
and General Asphalt also were under
