MARKS AND FRANCS

German marks have tumbled to the
lowest exchange rate in history. Stimuli
taneously French francs have sunk to
their lowest value this year. The two
inevitably rise or fall together, because of
the way in which French finance is bound
up with the German indemnity. The less
Germany money is worth, the less chance
of France collecting any indemnity to
speak of, and so the less chance for
either country getting on its feet.
This new German currency deprecia-
ton is due to a new dumping of paper
money into circulation, and also to the
outbreaks against the republican govern
ment But causes go farther than that.
Both the new issues of paper and the
outbreaks have been greatly influenced by
the uncompromising French attitude
against Germany. French insistence on
the letter of the reparation agreements,
regardless of economic and political con-
ditions in Germany, makes those condi-
tions worse; and the worse they become,
the less possible it becomes for France
to obtain what she wants from Germany.
Surely French craftsmanship will come
soon to see how closely French and Ger
man interests are bound up together, and
make practical concessions accordingly.

RAIN INSURANCE

It is said that four companies which
have been specializing in rain insur-
ance" for a year or two were hard hit
on the Fourth of July, and paid out more
than 100000 in rain premiums for the
four-day period beginning with the Satur-
day before the Fourth. The officials.
however. say they are reconciled to their
loss, because it makes good advertising.
They believe that rain insurance will
become the usual thing hereafter for en-
tertainments and Ewofit-making under
takings of all kinds that depend on the
weather for their success. And perhaps
they are right. Last summer a CITY that
embarked on a public exposition saved
itself from serious loss in this same way.
Private Institutions are learning the use
fulness of this device, as they learned
previously the usefulness of fire insur-
ance.
Everybody is always talking about
the weather., Mark Twain once re-
marked, " but nothing is ever done about
it" Yet here is something really done
about it.
In the future, possibly man will learn
to control the weather itself, instead of
merely collecting an indemnity from an
insurance company when the weather is
bad Or possibly an insurance monopoly
after loading up with rain policies, will
start in and regulate the weather to
avoid necessity for payment-and then
there will be trouble with the farmers.
