The When and Why
of "War is HelI''

One OF the questions relating to the
War of the Sections that will not

General Sherman say, "War is hell?"
1t has passed into history, but the cir
cumstances under which it was utter
ed and which called it forth have
been questioned on various occasions.

eign trade Is due chiefly to the iIr ability of the countries of the worl0 to pay for American commodities. This authority says that whatever debt-paying power Europe has at present will be used more advantage ously both for these countries and for the United States if this debt- paying power Is expended for Ameri- can products. The world stands in need of American products and we have a great surplus.
 Secretary Mellon knows that the loans which are now represented by demand notes held in the treasury will be permanently handled by re- funding operations. He also knows that financing of this kind will not be practicable until the foreign countries can make with certainty regular interest payments. When our foreign trade conditions have be- come reasonably normal they will make it possible surely and regularly to pay the interest upon the refund bonds.
 Without dissent so far as is known the policy recently announced bS Secretary Mellon as the one which the treasury department will follow for several years is spoken of as illustrating financial wisdom and a profound grasp not only of Ameri- can but of world conditions.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON Drnca


 New Orleans, June 14.-ln small way the trend of values in the cot ton market was upward but the greatest steadiness was in the early trading. After that business ap- peared to be restricted by the, post ponement of the census bureau re- port on May American consumption and stocks of untenable cotton at the end of May which were expected this morning. but which the bureau final lly announced would be issued tomor- row morning. After advances of 12 points on the most active months, the market slowed down and part of the gain was lost Price changes were small in the second half Of the session, and the close was at net ad- vances of five to seven points. July traded as high as 11.9Sc, and closed 1 at 11.93c.
 | Much of the buying was done on further reports of too much rain in Texas, oklahoma and Arkansas, and more complaints of weevil in Texas and Arkansas. After the first de- mand was satisfied. the market com- menced to sag slowly under reports of the first cotton blooms at several points in the central belt.
 | The market became nothing more lthan waiting affair in the late trading, with offerings held in check because of expectations of bullish figures In the reports due from the cersus bureau. it was quite generally expected that May consumption would be found to be larger than that for April

COFFEE MARKET 


 New York. June 1.-The market [ for coffee futures was decidedly cas- fer today as a result of liquidation, Wall street and local selling which seemed to be inspired by reports of freer offerings from Brazilian and better weather in Sac Paolo. The market opened at decline of 8 to 8 points and sold off to 6.S0c for Sep tember or twenty points net lower and more than forty points beiow the recent high price. That delivery closed at 6,76c bid with the gen sral market showing a net decline Of 22 to 24 points. July 639c; September 6.76c; October 6.S9c December 7.15c: January 7.24c; March 7.43c; May 7.5Sc.

By HOLLAND

New York, June 14.-(Special.)-~ One of the comments which the re- gently announced policy of the Secre- tary of the Treasury, MT Mellon, has caused is the assertion frequently made that the Secretary is making haste slowly. He Is revealing his masterly ability as 8 man of f. nance and also his profound knowl- edge of the technicalities of banking. He has adopted plans which are widely commended, and which have been formulated up to his own initiative. Soon after MT. Mellon be- came Secretary of the Treasury there were intimations from Washington and also in the New York financial district that he would as soon as possible perfect and put in operation single Issue of government secur- ities into which all the short term outstanding indebtedness could be converted.
 So also n was said that he had given some thought to refunding the victory notes and liberty bonds and this was spoken of with approval because the presumption was that action of that kind would bring the victory notes and liberty bonds to
 
 world encompassing view of the sit- uation. It differs from that which confronted the government at the close of the Civil war. Then the amount of government obligations outstanding which the Civil war en- tailed, a considerable part of which were held by investors in Great Brit ain and Holland. was not equal to the aggregate of the victor, notes and liberty bonds. Furthermore Great Britain and Europe were flour ishing. The shadow of the Franco Prussian war which began in the summer of 1870 and was over within two months had not yet been cast upon the world situation. All that Secretary of the Treasury at that time found it necessary to do was to prepare for refunding the bonds at a lower rate of interest. The amazingly swift recovery Of the country from the effects of the war, the opening up of much of the west to agriculture and the completion ot the first railroad stretching from Omaha to the Pacific coast greatly facilitated the operations of the treasury department.
 Now the Secretary of the Treasury Is confronted with difficult conol- tions which prevail all over the world. He knows that, although we have become a creditor nation anu surely will remain in that position for some years and possibly for long term of years. yet the enaire country Is suffering from the aftei effect of the war and from the nec- lie fever as President Harding calls

STAPLE BOLSTERED
 UP IN THE OCTOBER
 FUTURE MARKET
General Cotton List Was Steady at the Close, Net Unchanged to Five
 Points Higher
By Associated Press

New York, June 14.--An early ad- vance in the cotton market carried October deliveries up to 13 28c, or 16 points net higher and 27 points above the low level of yesterday The bulk of the demand was attrib- uted to scattered covering, however, and prices were easier late in the day under renewed liquidation or southern selling, which sent October off to 13 .13c. The close was at that figure with the general market clos ing easy, net unchanged to points higher.
 The early advance had the en- couragement of relatively firm Liver pool cables and continued optimism over the prospects for an early set clement of the British coal strike There also appeared to be increasing nervousness over the continuance of dry weather in eastern belt sections and prospects for boil weevil activ- ity during the summer The latter was mentioned by private cables from Liverpool as accounting partly for the advance there and covering by local shorts was probably pro noted by rumors that much of the scattering liquidation recently had been absorbed by the trade. Offer ings were light, and 1t did not re- ouire much buying to send prices up to 1242c for July and 1S.77c for December, or about 14 to l9 points net higher. Afternoon reports from the stock market were less favor able, however, while the immediate demand from shorts seemed to have been pretty we'll supplied on the forenoon advance, and prices turned easier in the late trading. Most or the active months made new low gr ound for the day just before the close, with July selling at 12. S1c ana December at IS. 61c. The opinion most generally expressed by local traders was that the dry weather Tn eastern belt sections had not yet se- riously injured the crop, but that rain was needed to maintain an im- proving condition. Further showers were reported in western belt sec tions, but the precipitation was ilgnt- CT and more scattering, and the chleI causes of crop prospects were based on the dry weather and insect re- ports. Port receipts today were zo'- os4 bales. United States port stocks 1.64s,716. Exports. 16,122 bales, max ing 4.69S,34S so far this season.

 over Five Years
 Secretary Mellon, taking In consid- eration all of tbese facts Is not to undertake the putting out of single issue of government securities with which to absorb various forms of in- debtedness. Instead of that he is to bring out from time to time appro- priate issues making careful calcu- lation as to the proper amount of in- terest to allow and continuing these issues for five years. He cannot put them out for a longer time unless Congress so legislates as to enable him to do that.
 | This, action is spoken of here as reflecting. to a high degree financ- ing wisdom. It will tend to make all the more easy future refunding operations It will also postpone the financing which is to be permanent than they now are.
 If it were expedient Secretary Mel lon might pay off the treasury cer- tificates as they become due from surplus revenues. But 1t would not | be8expedient at this time to do that Business depression is sure to re- duce our revenues and it Is vital that Congress so legislate as to tighten the burden of taxation. But the treasury department would be com pelled to rely upon heavy taxes if it were to secure large surplus reve- nue.
 Looking Into the Future
 Secretary Melons purpose and the conmendation with which it has been received reflect the opinion that our present condition is only tenn porary. We are passing through a time of convalescence. Healthful conditions may be restored partially at least before the end of the present year, and there is no doubt that Sec retary Mellon Is confident that the time is not distant when health will again be with us. When that is es- tablished he can undertake the per- manent financing which will be nec- essary by and by.
 The Foreign Loans
 One of the able authorizes upon cur financial condition says frankly tniat it would have been better both , for the United States and for Europe if the Anglo French joint loan which became due last fall had been re- newed. It was not the fault of the United States that this loan was not rsnev'ed. France and England pre- ftrred to pay it. And when they did make payment in full $500,000.0 900 were returned and were distributed among the financial powers who had made this loan possible.
 Had this loan been renewed Eu- rope would have been in better posi- tion to buy American products than she has been since that payment was made. There is not the lightest doubt that the falling off in our for
