differences between our own money
and the European money? English
crowns, German marks, French francs
and Norwegian and Swedish kronens,
must be converted into exchange for
American dollars, if we are to do
business with these countries. Rates
by which the exchange mignt be
made, used to be comparatively SIM
ply, but "a Philadelphia lawyer can't
figure out" the ratio nowadays. In
consequence Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover is said to favor some

| There is further suggestion that
| the bankers prefer to arrange the
exchanges themselves, instead of
| having Governments do it. To
which alternative Hoover and all the
rest are agreed, just as long as q
permanenca of some ratio of ex-
change is fixed which is more inn
portant than particular ratio of ex-
change. Our foreign trade is all
upset because of cheap European
money and some of it is so very
cheap that it is almost as bad as
the old Confederate bills.
