There is no Disgusting the fact that
there is decided coolness between
Great Britain and France.
France. in looking around the
world, sees only three strong powers
Great Britain, Japan and the
United States
Great Britain is pursuing her own
course in European world affairs.
1t is divergent path from that of
France.
Japan is allied with Great Britain.
Besides, Japan, way on the other side
Of the Pacific, has little to offer
France.
America has. France owes us
heaps of money. She hopes for fur.
ther indulgence as to. this debt. She
wants cur sympathetic understand
ing of her pressing problems. She
wants to feel that we would never
allow Germany to pounce upon her
again.
And she is perfectly willing to talk
about naval disarmament, so long
as we leave the question of her big
army alone.

The Real Trouble
The great underlying trouble is ;
world maladjustment due to Europe!
partial withdrawal from her norma
place as the worlds great center fol
manufacturing.
Economic life goes smoothly wher
things are produced in right proper
ton. With the present low rate Of
production in Europe the worlds ag-
gregate production is cut down, but
owing to the shortage of manufactur-
ing capacity through the partial with,
drawal of Europe, there is rela-
tive excess production in the non-Eu.
ropean world of raw materials and
farm products.
Raw materials, especially, have as
a consequence been concentrated on
our American markets, and cur man.
ufacturing capacity, expanded though
it was by the war, was inadequate to

strained, wastes multiplied, and man.
ufacturing costs rose very high.
Meanwhile, the relative excess OF
raw materials and farm products led
to a violent break in the prices Of
these things. AS a consequence, the
buying power of farmers and other
producers Of raw materials was Sc
cut that they could not afford to
buy even the relatively scant manu-
featuring output at prevailing prices
Then reaction and depression reached
the manufacturing industries also.
The Solution
The fundamental solution is tht
restoration Of Europe to her norma
position in the worlds economy. Eu

The root of out troubles is lin

we can have really good business in

Europe improve. But we can have
much better business than we now
have, in the absence of improvement
in Europe, as we complete our do.

During the period of intense activ
ity when we were shipping goods to
Europe in unprecedented volume, we
were drawing labor and capital away
from important domestic uses. We
neglected our railroads, we neglected
our public utilities, and very especial
If we neglected to keep up on hous-
ing facilities.
There is a great volume of de-
ferred construction which will create
effective demand, and might even
lead to building boom, when wages
in the building trades and building
materials, shake down to. proper
levels, and when efficiency in build
ing labor is restored. There is real
pormise in the recent decision of
Judge Lands IN the Chicago Build
ing Trades arbitration. II
Chance for Buying
Quite rs important as the ques-
ton of wages is the question of
elimination of restrictive practices.
Similarly a great deal more can be
bought by the railroads and the pub
lie utilities as the prices Of the things
they need go down and as their fl,
nancial position is improved through
a reduction in wages and other costs
So far we have only half complet
ed the industrial readjustment. The
industries which the war expanded
have contracted again, but the in
dustries which the war starved have
not expanded as yet to take up the
slack
There are six main resistance
points in the domestic price readjdst

LEARN HOW TO TURN
$500 INTO $25O,OOO BUT
IT TAKES TIME.

DANK ads often say that if 81 had
been placed at compound inter-
est in the year 1, it would have grown
by now to a sum bigger than all the
money in the world.
That must have caught the eye of
Alfred " Lincoln, of Charlestown,
Mass. His will provides that $500
Of his estate must be set aside at
compound interest for 80 years. Then
the total will be drawn out to plant
many trees in Lincoln's home town.
At A per cent compound interest,
money doubles in II years 246 days.
In 80 years, Lincoln's original 81, 500
win amount to about $250,000.
Shrewdly invested by trustees, may
turn into millions.
One thing Lincoln overlooked /:
By the year 2011, man will hav a
lot CT new ideas and may abolish the
interest system. The chance, how
ever, is worth taking. Better to leave
a legacy for shade trees that many
will enjoy, than to have heirs squan-
der it.
