Scrapping Fiat Moneys

ne nearer the date of the Genoa
conference approaches the palmer it
is that the political parts of the
program and the parts that relate
to international credits are barren.
In Russia political reorganization
must prccede economic regeneration.
The Bolshevist system, which has
stuffed production and thus made
trade impossible, must be ended and
give way to system better for both
/ for proletariat and peasants. The
Genoa conference with respect to
Russia may thus occupy itself with
political matters. Likewise, politi-
cal action tending to persuade Ger
many that her scheme of landing
the cost of meeting her reparation
obligations on France and Belgium,
etc. has definitely tizzled is neces-
sary. While Germany's chief industry
is debt-dodging she will ]anguish
She must be made to realize she
can advance her welfare by work
ing more and complaining less. But
except as to Russia and Germany in
ternatlonal politics may we'll be kept
in the background.
The worlds business and trade
greatly need an application of the
Hughes idea and technique to in
flated paper currencies. These are
what keep commerce stagnant.
They should be scrapped at some
agreed-on ratio-the ratio to cor
respond in some degree to the gold
values of the currency units. Then
international trade would cease be-
ing a gamble and revive.
With paper marks, francs. lire.
crowns, etc, honestly valued and no
more issued than could be kept at
the designated valuation, Europe
would be on gold basis again and
Industry would go forward. Buyers
now do not know what they are to
pay or sellers what they are to get.
Under present conditions there is no
such thing as real exchange mar
ket. What is done when so-called ex-
change is bought or sold is to bet
on the future gold prices of bits of
paper.
The deprecated fat money that
waterlogs trade cannot be brought
to par. This is not only impossible,
but If possible monstrously unjust.
Imagine debtor asked to pay "a
cents on a debt payable in marks
when the marks he borrowed were
worth less than half cent! The
first economic business Of Eu-
rope is currency defation, and the
next is to establish reserves that
will keep the currency outstanding
at its specified level. To do this it
is not necessary to call in the pres
ent money issues. 1t is enough to
fix redemption prices.
l
The Italian Prime Minister, as
the host of the Genoa gathering,
taking lesson from Mr.. Hughes,
has perhaps prepared a proposal.
If he has, and it is intelligently
worked out, his service will be very
great. If he has not, and has no
scaling down scheme to offer, he
Will neglect a great opportunity.
Yet SO far little popular considera-
ton has been given to what should
be the chief objective at Genoa.
The Keyneses and the Rathenaus,
with their futile or interested
projects, keep the center of the
stage.

Revised Virtue

+. f. ": l may be all wrong, YOU
understand, but from the very incep-
tion of the agitation concerning the
MacMonnies statue the solution Of the
problem has seemed to me simple and
easy. Merely change the title from
"Civic Virtue" to "You Poor FISH"
Then, no matter whether the female
figures couchant be conventionalized
mermaids or unconventional regular
gals, both the opus and the title will
bc meet and fit and our indignant sis
ters and their allies, like the mermaids,
will not have leg to stand on.
