power and not upon an arbitrary
standard OF comfort claimed az r.
right, whether earned or not.
No Flooding Of Goods
The notion that Germany can swamp
the world with goods and destroy the
trade of other countries seems illusory
in view of the inexhaustibie demand
for goods If buying power is better
distributed. Nevertheless the German
indemnity brings an interesting new
factor into international trade, because
Its effect will. be to make Germany a
great debtor country--one which ex-
ports chiefly manufactured goods. Be-
fore the war and throughout the last
century the great debtor countries were
headed by America, which exported
chiefly food materials
This position seems to promise
cheapening of manufactured goods as
compared with primary produce.
The more immediate technical result
of the big indemnity payments will be
the tremendous effect produced on ex-
changes. Last waek's sensational drop
in sterling in New York, it is now recog-
nized, was caused by the sudden de-
cision of the Reparations Commission
to demand dollars from Germany in
the payment of each installmenf due at
the end Of May

their calculations and general condi-
tions upset by factor beyond the
range of anticipation, maintain that
indemnity arrangements must be rcgu-
lated with better consideration for
their interests. II seems likely that
the next few years will reveal many
inconveniences arising from this cause
and actual hardships in certain in
stances. but the general effect evidently
will be quickening of Europes pro-
ductive activity which can hardly fail
to benefit consumers in all countries
Your Presidents policy of an asso-
citation of powers to maintain peace is
being watched with interest ON this
side. Critics Of the League OF Nations
are plentiful here, but it is generally
agreed that unless peace can be OBJ
tanned there will be no hope of financial
and economic prosperity. IF better
means of keeping peace are proposed
on your side, they will be heartily vel
coined here.
The coal strike continues and wage
controversy is now threatened in the
cotton industry. This question, how
ever, is somewhat academic, since the
industry is working on short time ow-
ing to the coal strike.
0ptimists still believe, that the pres
ent deadlock will produce good effect
ultimately, and in the trades that arc
still working a better days work is
certainly being done.

How Long
Maintained
dous Effect
By Hartley Withers
Hditor, The Economist


Copyright, 1921. New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, June 5.-The first install
ment of the German reparations pay
ment marks an epoch in European his
tory which may be highly momentous.
1t is now generally believed here
that Germany intends to make every
possible effort to meet her engage
ments, and trade activity is reported
to be much greater there than in any
other country. Exports are increasing
rapidly and all industries are working
| as hard as the supply of raw materials,
fuel and transport allows.
The effect of this effort by Germany's
Industrious and highly disciplined peo-
pie on the export trade of her vietori-
Gus enemies is beginning to cause seri-
Gus misgivings among leaders of those
industries which will be affected The
advantage given Germany by the de-
preciated exchange is much exagger
ated because the influence cuts both
ways-it benefits her as a seller but
sets up barrier against her as buyer
of food, fuel and raw materials.
Labor Real Advantage
The real advantage possessed by
Germany is willingness on the part
of her manual laborers to work hard
for low wages. II this advantage con-
tinues, Germany will pay the indem-
nifty at the expense of the workers ac-
cepting a standard of life below their
fellows elsewhere. 1t remains to be
seen how long the workers will sub
nit to this exploitation.
1t will be interesting to see how
long also the workers of other coun-
tries will leave the advantage with
Germany by trying TO insist on
standard that conditions of world COM
petition make impossible.
1t seems likely that this double ten
dency before long will greatly reduce
Germany's advantage, since the work
ers win in time resist the present ex-
ploitation. British and French work
ers, moreover will see the necessity of
returning to the pre-War level of out
put and efficiency and recognize that
wages must depend upon earning

BRUMFIELD TRIES TO CHEAT
 GALLONS BY USING KNIFE

ROSEBURG, Oct. 22-Dr Brum- field nearly succeeded in cheating the gallows this week by cutting his throat with an undiscovered in strument He made a deep cut but did not sever the jugular vein, and the prison doctors say he has a chance to recover, although he is in a critical condition through loss of blood. He is still too weak to talk.
 On the night preceding the at tempt upon his life, Brumfeld is reported to have slept well and when asked in the morning if the verdict rendered by the trial jury came as a surprise to him, he replied: II am as innocent as anybody could be but I am not surprised at the yer dict because I was not able to help my lawyers, and the evidence was as damning as could be-"
 Sheriff Starmer expresses the be- lief that Brumfeld cut his throat with a sharp piece of bridge work taken from his teeth.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22-Following the abrupt and resultless 1e4mina tion of the Railroad Labor Board conference here. on Thursday, the brotherhood chieft left the city to take up their positions in various parts of the country, ready to as sume their responsibilities as direct ors of what may be the country's biggest strike.

Joint Meeting Called

The situation took an unexpected turn yesterday when the Railroad Labor Board, backed by all the au- thority the Government can place at it's disposal, issued a call for a joint meeting of railroad executives and union leaders to be held here on October 26. The call was backed by a solumn warning to the union leaders not to issue a strike order until the board has heard their grievances and rendered a decision. This action on the part of the board practically means that there can be no strike on October 31 unless the unions choose openly to defy the Government, as it is hardly possible that the boards decision will be rendered before that date.
 The order issued by the board cites both union leaders and railway executives to appear so the board may determine whether there have been violations of the boards orders.
 The board has assumed jurisdic-

Too Much Taxes

M. W.
