"For Money | Got Honey"

A poultry dealer who tried with
out success to get permission from
the city to run stand in the Wash
ington Market reports new epi-
gram in the language Of graft. He
went to see and reproach the man
who got the stand and that jubilant
merchant said.
For money I got honey
An expressive, succinct and poetic
phrase. Not the sweets to the sweet
but the sweets to the spender.
The honey described w:s paid for
by the city, which established mar
kets at low rentals so that food could
be sold at low prices to everybody
who cared to go to the market.
But the benefits Of the honey did
not go to the public. All it got was
stinging.

Nature rapidly healing the scars OF strife
IN France.-HeadliTe.
Now nature binds with ribands green
Earth's deepest cicatrice.
While underneath the sky serene
There is untroubled peace
Once ceaselessly the tearing smell
Screamed horror everywhere.
Now quietly the vesper bell
Sounds in the twilight air.
Wars awful rites here mocked az COD
But mockcd at God in vain.

Yet they and every trench they iined

Our Trade Grows in Volume.

This nations trade is not going
to rack and ruin though the COM
bined forces of foreign competition
and low buying power turn the COM
mercial world upside down.
The Department of Commerce has
recently published an analysis Of the
foreign trade of the United States for
the fiscal year ended with June, and
while the figures are open to several
interpretations we can see in them
nothing more alarming than mis-
judgment by our producers and mer-
chants based on the law OF supply
end demand.
In the fiscal year 1920 our foreign
commerce was $685., 100000. In
the fiscal year 1921 it was S10,171,-
100000, a decline Of $3.176,000, 900.
Put in classifying the articles max
ing up 60 per cent. OF our exports
All that could be classified both by
weight and yalue-the Department
finds that a decline Of 10 per cent.
in value was accompanied by an
actual increase Of % per cent. in
volume as compared with 1920.
From this it is evident that the
world has been scared not as much
by ain actual shortage Of goods or
even a decrease In the volume Of
trade as by the law Of supply and
demand. Lower prices and smaller
profits were made inevitable by con.
centration OF production in those
commodities for which demand was
most urgent and from which large
profits seemeG assurer.
This is shown in the figures for
exports Of foodstuffs. "A year ago
the demand was urgent and consum.
ers abroad were willing to pay high
prices. Production was stimulated
in the hope of great profits. II was
this increase In production and not
decrease in demand that caused
falling prices. In 1921 our exports
or foodstuffs increased 81 per cent.

value declined S3S3,0O0,OO0.

Italy and the Gold Standard.

The shift OF the Italian Govern
ment to the use Of the gold dollar for
customs purposes must, as THE NEW
YORK HERALD perceives it, be exam
ined from another viewpoint than
that OF the relative Importance Of tho
dollar as an exchange medium. What
stands out IS that Italy has gore
back, at least in her customs admin
istration, to the gold standard This
is highly significant in the light Of
the history of past currency depre-
Citations in Europe, none Of which
brought the same measure Of detase-
ment that prevails to-day in some Of
the Continental monetary units.
1t is peculiarly fitting that Italy,
the land from which emanated the
first sound gold coinage system,
should take this first step back to
the gold standard. Much monetary
history has been made since 1852,
when the gold pieces Of Florence
formed the foundation Of almost all
the exchange mediums Of Europe. The
form, which derives its name and
its heredity from Florence, to-day
has a place in nearly all the cur
rency systems Of Europe. 1t varies
widely in value from the original
uniform unit. Many depreciations at
different times have changed the
relative value Of gold and token
money and resulted in the conver-
sion to new units, frequently bear
ing new names, to overcome the diff.
Guilty Of altering the value Of money
under old names.
What has happened in past depre-
Citations must inevitably happen
again in some Of the deprecated
European currencies before they can
set back to gold basis. Austria
end some Of the succession States Of
central Europe already have set up
new currency systems. These are
for the most part mere expressions
of national vanity and have resulted,
with perhaps one or two exceptions,
in no closer approach to gold basis.
Tn none Of these States Is the gen.
cral run OF domestic transactions
conducted in terms Of gold Pay
monts arc made and received in
terms Of native currency the value
of which is fixed according to its
domestic buying power and not ac-
cording to the amount Of gold il will
buy. This Is readily seen also in
Germany, where the mark IS ac.
ccpted at more than its gold value
because Of its relatively high domcs-
tic purchasing power.
ri would be expecting too much to
ASK the nations o. Europe to return
to the gold standard except BY the
same gradual process which has been
necessary In the past Russia with
her 1400, 900, 100000 paper rubles
Germany with her 0O,0O0,O00,O 900
paper marks, Austria and hungary

The True Blues.

Our always delightful neighbor the
EUening Post now assumes the atti-
tude of Cassandra. The treaty, it
says, is not treaty to be proud OF
and will work dire mischief for the
United States some time or other
We have studied with a magnifying
glass of great power the Posts elab-
crate explanation Of the reasons for
it's belief that the treaty is not q
treaty to be proud Of, but we are
Ibout as wise as when we began.
The English OF our neighbor's es-
say on the subject is majestic and
imposing, If at times little inse-
cure from the point of view OF the
rigid grammarian. Nevertheless, it
Goes not teach us much. The near
est approach we can make to an un-
derstanding OF the EreRing Post 5
gloomy apprehensions concerning
cur blessed Republics future under
the Berlin Treaty is through mys-
terious intimations like this.
"If a multitude of Americans
read this document to-day with a
feeling OF regret but acceptance, it
is because for many months they
have been preparing themselves for
the inevitable. But it is only the
inevitable OF politics TO which they
submit for the present. They would
not submit even at this late hour
If they had not the faith that there
is higher necessity which in the
course of time will undo the neces-
sity Of politics"
Or like this:
Suppose that Germany, taking
advantage of our non-indorsement OF
the territorial or political settlements,
makes try at overthrowing them
and so renders impossible the fulfil
ment OF the clauses we do acknowl-
edge. Immediately very concrete
obligation stares US in the face"
Dread concrete apparition. Or, to
continue, like this.
Time will show the futillty, as
we already feel the ignobility, OF a
national policy which claims rights
and interests and seeks to escape
obligations Time viii show that
whatever may be the legalistic ways
we have left open for an escape
from duty, the necessity Of facts
will not let us escape SO easily. II,
indeed. the American people. when
the need arises. will evince a desire
to escape. And we may not
have to wait very long"
We give it up! What is Cas-
sandra driving at? What does the
dismal old girl foresee? Is it a great
popular movement, expressed in a
second solemn referendum, to de-
mand a new treaty with Germany,
renouncing the rights and advan-
tages and privileges to which that
Power admits us, and reimposing on
us the duties and obligations which
We have escaped in the present
treaty with such ignobility; that is
to say, a return to the higher
necessities" by American adhesion
TO the Covenant Of the League Of
Nations?
The other true blue is only getting
ready to begin. We shudder to think
what our indigo neighbor the World,
now too stunned to do more than re-
peat its familiar assaults on Presi-
dent HARDING and Secretary HUGHEs
for protecting American interests,
will be saying about the Treaty Of
Berlin when it gets fairly on the job
