i funding operations and new loans have
been handled with signal success from
time to time. But we have done moth
ing as vet to establish an international
security market in this country; the
obligations placed here officially bv
our bankers, with listing in our pub

demanded by the American investor,
have only an American market
There has been considerable deal
ing over the counter. through ban]5ino
houses, in the internal securities OF
1orelgn governments, municipalities
and business corporations. But we still
lack a fluid international security
market"
In y country whose history is the
record of almost continuous forward
movement and growth period Of fail
ing wages is unusual. Absorbed in the
practical need for dehation, we some
times become oblivious of the long
time significance of present changes.
What is the relation of the flood of
wage cuts to the labor movement?
Until business receded a few months
ago wages moved practically uninter-
ruptedly upward for score of years.
Since depression set in the wage ten
dency has been downward. When busi-
ness Is repressed, labor, a partner in
the losses of industry, suffers. I'm
employment is the worst burden work
ingmen are called upon to bear. The
weekly wage is reduced by an elimina-
ton of profitable overtime work and
in some plants by working only half
time basis.
AS far as the hourly wage Is con-
cerned however, a cut Is an apparent,
not real, change, unless it is out of
proportion to the adjustment in the
cost of living. Labor, except during
temporary periods of readjustment, will
not be thwarted in its striving toward
ever better conditions by changing
wage level unless the downward re-
vision is greater than the increase in
the purchasing power of the dollar.
The real measure of wages is not dol
lars but purchasing power a mans
pay envelope is as good as the num-
Der of bushels Of wheat, pairs of
shoes and units of rent it will buy.
If things become 20 per cent cheaper on
the average, reduction of one-ffth
in money wages will mark no cut in
real wages.

rupted their task of attempting to es-
tablish peace in the near east 10
honor a son of the west. The retiring
American ambassador. John W. Davis,
was the guest of honor of the III
srims' Society at dinner Which "as
attended by the Prince of Wales. LORD
Desborough Earl Curzon, Earl Read
ing, Niscount Bryce, the Archolshop
of Canterbury, Admiral Sir DaVid
Beatty and other prominent person
ages. The gathering was among tne
most notable ever aSsemoieo ioi eho

American diplomat in England.
The Prince of Wales and LORDS
Curzon. Reading and Desborougn
paid tributes to Mr.. DAVIS as one U.
the most illustrious in the line o!
American ambassadors IN the iaS
uuarter century. The prince said that
the work of Mr.. Davis in England
would never be forgotten and would
have far-reaching results IN the re-
latinnships between the two coun-
tries.
Ambassador Davis Reply.
After declaring that recent events
had proved militarism to be a danger
and NOT a safeguard, and branding
communism as 'an ignoole 1rauu,
the ambassador devoted most OF ms
speech TO .Anglo-American relations;
E,xpressing the belief that England
and America would continue TO llEe
in peace and friendship, Mr.. Davis
alluded to the currents of sentiment
tI,at flow broad and deep" between
the two nations, and the strong ce-
poent of blood drawn from a common
source and shed in common cduse-
He asked what good thing tnese nd
tions might seek apart whlch couiu
not be attained in larger measure IL
they pursued harmony and union.
What legitimate aim mas great
Britain which American cooperation
will not promoter" he inquired What
lawful end does America contemplate
which British support Will not heip
her TO attain.
ua had IAN unwavering and inde-
structible faith" in the sportsmanship
and sense of justice animating the
two peoples
Predicts Future Harmony.
IF one is right and the other
wrong" he said. "the one IN the
wrong will admit it, as has been done
in the past, wiShout sense OF injured
nride or wounded egoism- If neither
is wholly wrong or right. we snaii
know how to give and take and ma,
as we have in the past, the golden
mean of compromise. If compromise
fail. we shall both We ready. as we
have in the past, to throw our for
tunes into the scales of justice and let
wisdom and impartial minds judge be-
tween US"
Asserting that il is not in open dis
putes that the danger lies, the ambas-
sador concluded: There are enemies
who would undermine, if they could
the foundations of our friendship. and
we should meet them at the gate.
Jealousy, suspicion-these are the
twin friends that destroy concord and
the first sign of either's presence
should call the defenders to the walls"

PUBLICITY IN CONFERENCE

There ought to be nc question about the publicity
and would not be if he people were as alert in
their own interests as are the war promoters who
prey on them.
il is he people who have to pay They are the
principal, and The members Of the conference are
their agents. They have right to know. not only
what their agents do, but why they do it, and
what they were tempted to do
If there are any reasons why ninely-three per
cent of the revenues cxtored from the people should
be paid out for armaments and expenses connected
with the great International game of slaughter, the
public has right to know what it is So far as
the innocent American popuiace Is aware, this
country has no enemies, and all the other countries,
wiih few notable exceptions are at peace with
each other. Hence, no grounds for the mainten-
ancc CT huge armies and costly navies are publicly
lncvn 10 eNis:
j Is certainly curious commentary on our
civilization that the facts upon which International
relations are based, and the facts upon which ma
or5 are plunged into costly and destructive wars,
arc the especial property of few individuals.
With the possible exception of the Revolution, this
Country has neyer engaged in a war in which the
people, al the time, could have given full and
accurate account Of what it was for; and that is
even more sirikingly true with regard to the wars
CT foreign countries.
Ii is therefore time to demand showdown If
there are International secrets which it is desirable
to withhold from the public. they are the very
cnes The public should pry into By all means, let
every enc insist upon an open discussion of the
disarmament question.

For us there is lovely charm
In watching grten things grow;
But we were shocked, | must confess
Al many things we saw;
Inc farmer never thought, | guess.
Or didn't care a straw.
But what a waste to plant the corn
In rows so far apart;
The ground between all ploughed ana
torn;
1t nearly broke my heart.

TO get it nice and thick;
Perhaps he heard while choking on
That tiny PIECE of stick.

1t made dear Ethel rave
To see poor pigs all caked with CRIME.
And not a tub to bathe.
While little lambs were disgrace,

Had ever washed a darling face:
For they were black as coal.
1t surely hurts the gentle COWS
To have the milk pulled out;
And eggs are hunted in the mows.
While poor hens ween about.

Just sobbing en- my arm;
So | declared we'd change all that,
