BACK TO GOLD BASIS
British Financial Interests Want an
Early Re-Adjustment.

Early Adjustment.
The British Federation of Indus
tries representing 80 per cent. of the
country's manufacturers and many of
the big banks and insurance compan-
les have suggested to Premier Lloyd
George according to n London dis
patch that international economic
pressure be brought by the two or
three great commercial powers on GER
tain other countries, not named, to
force the latter to balance their bud
gets and deflate their currency.
This sensational suggestion was en-
bodied in a long memorandum of
proposals for the revival of trade.
The document says:
There is little doubt that inter-
national action will be required before
certain countries can be induced to
adopt n sound currency policy. 1t
would therefore seem wise to ap-
proach one or more of the other great
commercial powers and endcavor, in
agreement with them. to impose n
common currency policy OIL the rest Of
the world.
1.-THE means Of influence at the dis
posal of two greet commercial pow
ers acting in agreement would be
enormous. They would include the
extending or withholding Of credits,
the manipulation of existing inter-
national debts, or, in the case Of some
countries, the manipulation of repara-
ton payments, and finally. in the event
Of extreme recalcitrancy, the economic
boycott.
1.-THE ends to be sought by the ap-
plication of these weapons would be
obviously the cessation of imitation by
all countries, the balancing of bud
gets and then the stabilization Of cur
rercies by anchoring them again to
gold. Pressure might also be exerted
to induce countries which are con-
stantly varying their tariffs upward to
lower them or at least to stabilize the
TalSS unlll lIlOlS Sol4NiliNiio ''i y
reached"
These proposals, although more de-
tailed and more frankly lending sup
port to a drastic line of action, indi-
cate about the same attitude as that
taken by the international Chamber
of Commerce Convention in London
some months ago. These views were
more cautiously voiced at the time by
Edward A. Filene of Boston, one of
the Chambers directors, in an inter-
view with The World.
The following significant reference
to future British American CONNER
cial competition is also made in the
federation's memorandum:
"Tt seems probable that circum-
stances will to some extent assist us
in obtaining a share in the remaining
markets Of the world considerably
larger in proportion than that which
we commanded before the war, since
the creditor position of the United
States coupled with the maintenance
of q high tariff makes it eXtraordin-
arily difficult for her to develop COM
petition as against ourselves in for
eign markets."

the Chief Cause Of Many Disas-
trous CONGREGATIONS 81.

The Society for Electrical Develop.
ment, dissatisfied with recent re
port of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters in which electricity was
blamed as the chief cause of fire losses,
has made an exhaustive examination,
taking the year 1919 as basis. 1t
publishes in the Electrical World the
results of this investigation. The re-
port shows that in 345 cities. with an
aggregate population Of 28,495, S51 per
sons, there were 1858 fires in 1919,
Of which those apparently of electric
origin numbered 3.56S, or 2.57 per
cent of the total.
Reginald Trautschold, writer of the
report, remarks that "a large proper
tion OF electric fires, IL not the major
ity, are caused by careless disregard
of quite obviously necessary precau
tons, such as leaving an electric fiat
iron with the current turned on upon
an infiammable ironing-board." Though
fires resulting from such causes usual

FAIL TO RESPECT PROPERTY
Great Body Of Americans Need Edu-
cation Concerning Proper Usage
Of Public Places.

The mental makeup of men and
women who scatter papers along the
highroads, who trample down growing
crops, who break down farmers
fences, and who are responsible for
surrounding our woodland streams
with a beadwork of tomato cans is
quite easy ito understand. Such .pe0-
pie are merely primitive individualists.
They have not vet advanced In civtlt-
cation to point where they can
visualize the property rights of others
There Is another group of wayfar-
ers which, though allied closely to the.
first, we both dislike and cannot un-
derstand. This is the group which
not only scatters refuse over private
lands, but also leayes trail, which
he who runs may read, over the land
belonging to cities, states and the ma
ton. A public park, whether it be
but triangle Of grass at the inter
section OF three village streets, or a
rolling meadow land set down in the
heart of great city, or a forest re-
serve of hundred thousand acres Of
the national domain, is property to
which each and every one Of us has
an iralienable right. TO scatter trash
over a. bit of green in the heart OF a
city or to slash off the top of pine
tree in a national park is to damage
part of the common land to which
every citizen is heir.
We can understand how a man. can
disregard the rights of a neighbor,
but it is not so. easy to understand
how a man can destroy the beauty
Of land which is his own and his
: childrens If we are to continue TO
build parks In. our cities and set aside
wildernesses for our recreation, we
must also build up, in the mind and
heart of every citizen. a spirit Of jeai-
ousy for the beauty Of these green
places.
Perhaps the present generation of
Americans is already past the cure,
but there is another generation OF
citizens in the making, and, If we
are wise, we will do for them what
