Money in the Bulk.

The circulation of currency in Rus
STA seems to be limited only by the
paper supply and the capacity of the
Soviet presses. Already the total
has reached seventeen trillion rubles.
AT the prewar value OF the ruble this
would represent more than eight tril-
lion dollars-enough to pay the
United States Government expenses,
even with bonuses, for about two
thousand years.
AS 100000 rubles can be bought
in Moscow for an American dollar,
the seventeen trillions OF rubles, re
duced to real money, are worth only
$4,250,000. This situation has a
bright side. 1t suggests the POSSIBLE
ity OF retiring the whole mess OF
Soviet paper money at compare

Mayor Hylan's Transit Move.

Mayor HYLAN has competent
legal department at his command.
Its function has been to advise him,
among other things. what his Board
OF Estimate resolution against the
marlborough Rapid Transit Company
amounts TO. 1t is not likely, there
fore, that he entertains any serious
thought that through such action he
can seize the traction system for its
defaults OF service.
On the contrary, Mayor HYLAN's
Corporation Counsel must have in.
formed him that il the marlborough
went out of the hands Of its present
owners and managers the place it
would land, under the operation of
the law and the workings of the
courts, would not be in the lap Of the
Mayor but in receivership under
the jurisdiction of Federal Judge.
And such an outcome of the transit
problem is the very thing Mayor
HYLAN's own Corporation Counsel
has vigorously and ably been oppos-
ing before Judge MAYER when others
were trying to force the property
into receivership.
But Mayor HYLAN has keen eye
for any chance to play politics with
the rapid transit situation. He
knows that the Transit Commission
is on the point of issuing orders COM
polling the traction company to give
more and better service. 1t would
not help the Mayors political game to
have the Transit Commission get the
credit for the improved service. 1t
would not suit his peculiar ethical
views to have anybody get the credit
except JOHN F. HYLAN.
So Mayor HYLAN starts these Board
of Estimate proceedings. AS far as
concerns transit service results they
may be more of circus performance
than a workable legal or judicial pro-
gram. But what is that to Mayor
HYLAN if he can delude any part OF
the public into imagining that he
has peremptorily given the transit
company the choice of supplying bet
ter service or having the lines
snatched out of its hands by the
Mayor? And what sharp trick to
turn II, when the Transit Commission
compels the service few days later,
he can fool that same quality Of pop
ular intelligence into thinking that
he, the Mayor, and nobody else did
it or could have done it.
This is the kind Of politics Mayor
HYLAN knows how to play with no
inconsiderable success among his
typical followers. 1t is cheap, taw-
dry and transparent. Perhaps no
body better estimates it at its true
value than the cunning HYLAN him

Lost Days Of Work.
Statistics Based ON Illness, Holidays
and Strikes.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Your edi-
torial article on the millions of days lost
to American industry through illness
suggests consideration of certain COM
monplace facts which are generally ig-
nored by statisticians when they come
to dealing. with millions.
AS you say, the Federated American
Engineering Societies have reached the
conclusion that each of the 100000
men and women gainfully employed in
the United States loses on an average
eight days annually through disabilities
resulting from illness, making the ire
mendous total of 342,300.00 days. Now,
the important thing to my mind Is that
there should be nothing alarming about
the situation even IL all the deductions
were correct. that is. so far as the loss
of days is concerned.
There are just as many days lost in
the eight legal holidays. Then there
are the Jewish and Catholic religious
holidays in addition to the others. and
nobody thinks of them as liability. but
generally as an asset. Then there is
the Saturday half holiday. which Is rap
idly becoming general, and that will soon
count up twenty-six more working days
lost to industry to be multiplied by A.
600. 900. which takes US into the billion
class. And then think OF the ffty-two
Sundays without which. of course. we
would all go to pieces! I don't dare
multiply that by a3,00o.o0o because It
would make me dizzy.
or course In this / am referring only
to the loss to industry. II goes with
out saying that, SO far as the individual
is concerned, he would prefer a holiday
to Illness. although the latter may not
be so expensive in dollars and cents.
Furthermore, / am not counting the
loss to industry that generally accrues
from a letdown in production on the
day following holiday.
This penchant of the statisticians. or
multiplying wages by the number OF
days lost. thus landing them up in the
millions, their favorite perch. is INDUCED
i'll more generally when dealing with the
subject of strikes and lockouts. For in
stance, n very able publiclst declared re-
Gently that In the State OF New York
alone In 1920 there was a loss due to
strikes of over 100000 working days.
That sounded very disturbing, but in
that case. the same as In the case of
illness, when compared with the loss due
to legal holidays, the matter was not
alarming. In fact. only one-fourth as
alarming, because any two Of the eight
legal holidays furnish as many days of
unemployment as all the strikes. In
ether words there are 100000 wage
earners In the State of New York, which
number. multiplied by eight holidays,
shows that 100000 days are lost to
industry through holidays, as against
10. 100000 lost through strikes and lock-
outs. RALPH NJ. EAsLEY

A Textile Industry Problem.

In an address before the Rotary
Club OF Lawrence, Massachusetts,
EDWIN FARSHAM GREENE, treasurer
of an important New England cotton
manufacturing concern, presented
certain impressive facts concerning
the textile industry in the Northern
States. While much that he said has
been written and said before during
the present strike, which has brought
the textile industry to standstill in
several centers OF production, the
statistics in this instance haveebeen
massed with formidable weight.
These statistics amount to a pres.
entation Of the competitive disadvan-
tages under which textile manufac.
turers OF the North are placed now
as compared with those Of the South
Cheaper and easier coal transporta-
ton, cheaper labor. more hours OF
labor to the working day, lower cost
OF living, cheaper and more regular
supply of cotton, less stringent indus
srial laws and less burdensome tax
ation-all these are fixed advantages
with which the Southern manufac-
turer begins to. compete with the
manufacturer OF the North.
In earlier days the impossibility OF
overcoming effects OF certain eli
matte conditions in the South to
a certain extent Offset the adyan-
taees enumerated This resulted in
reduced labor efficiency. But these
handicaps have been in large meas
nre overcome Modern systems OF

Nancy Aston.

In NANCY Aston America has con-
tributed to the world very real
woman who in extraordinary meas
ure is radiating sparkle and sun.
shine and common sense to the world.
Quite the same as she is Lady Aston
in her adopted country, she is just
one Of US over here, just very
human, winsome, delightful daughter
OF her old Virginia home where her
fine nature and inherent qualities de-
veloped unhampered by dwarfing con-
ventionality.
Most persons have sight; few per-
sons see things as they are, see life
as it is. NANCY Aston has eyes that
see, has human understanding. has
rare sense in the fundamentals OF
life, the fundamentals of living.
AS a member of the British Par
lament, as a brilliant parsonage in
the aristocracy Of England, as the
wife Of British peer, Lady AsToR Is
no greater figure than she is in her
own natural seif--the buoyant, vital
woman COP made her. NANCY Aston
is wonderfully endowed with warm
sympathy for the men and women Of
the world, sympathy for them in
their aspirations. their struggles,
their sunshine and their sorrows.
NANCY AsToR is real wife, real
mother, big citizen with deep inter
est in all the problems OF life, all the
problems OF government, and espe-
cially in woman's place in politics, in
government. Her interest in these is
not Of the sentimental kind which.
untempered with common sense, is
wont to do harm. NANCY AsToR with
her keen wit and keen sense of humor
and fine feminine qualities has sin
gularly practical mind, exceptionally
free from the mawkish, footless stuff.
1T is because NANCY Aston is what
she is, a natural, simple. earnest
woman, that all America has
stretched out its arms in rare well
come home to this brilliant daughter
of our own Southland.
It is not because she returns
as Lady AsToE; on the contrary,
the American born woman, raised
through foreign marriage to titled
rank, is generally held by Americans
as out Of touch and out OF sympathy
with the Drawn and sinew OF this
plain thinking country.
! But with Lady Aston this is not
the case. Her marriage to viscount
AsToR has served only to give her
the opportunity for exceptional de-
velopment, for wide usefulness, and
America, proud of her position in
the great world, loves her for what
she is in her very self.

in the South, Mr.. GREENE has no hest
tation in saying that Southern tex
tile workers are now equal in ability
and in the quality and quantity OF
output 10 those in the North.
The result of all this is written in
plain figures. Since 1901 the number
of spindles in the South has in
creased Ill per cent, while the num-
Der in the North has increased only
23 per cent.
Is it TO be with New England's cot
ton manufacturing as it has been
with her steel, her bicycle and her
automobile industries? Shall her
textile business take up the line Of
march her great shoe manufacturing
business is now taking toward the
West and South?
These are questions the answers to
which are dependent on labor and
labor legislative problems that are
pressing urgently for solution.

Stag for Roadmaking.

Stag from blast furnaces is to have
a thorough test to determine whether
it can be used in the making of con
crete roads, and experiments are now
being carried on by the Bureau Of
Public Roads, connected with the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, in which Stag from thirty
two blast furnaces in various parts
Of the country is employed.
Vast quantities of Stag are avail
able both North and South, and il the
tests are satisfactory road making
in territory where other material is
scarce will be undertaken on an ex-
tensive scale. The matter of economy
first brought the question of Stag in
roadmaking prominently before the
authorities. The concrete made with
Stag will be tested under the same
conditions as other roadmaking ma
terials, and the outcome should be
conclusive. Resistance to wear,
strength, water absorption and gem
eral utility are qualities which will
be taken into account.
Some years ago an attempt was
made to convert Stag into grade of
cement which it was thought would
be available for rough work, but the
project was not a success. If it is
suitable as a roadmaking material
one of the problems Of the blast fur
nacevmen, who have spent a lot of
money in handling the waste, will
have an economic solution.

Recognition of King Fuad.

The United States has recognized
the Egyptian Government and also
the ruler Of the new independent
Egypt, maintaining its capitulatory
rights.
This action by the United States
is in effect that taken by European
nations which have also recognized
King FUAD and his Government. 1t
means that those rights which were
secured to Americans in the treaty
with the Ottoman Empire when
Egypt was part of that empire are
still to be recognized. The most i'm
portant of these is the extraterrito-
rial right Of American citizens ac-
cused of criminal offenses to be tried
before their own diplomatic and con-
sular officials. There is likewise a
provision in this agreement for the
hearing and trial Of civil causes in
extraterritorial tribunals.
During the world war ENvEE Pasha
and his Government attempted to
abrogate these extraterritorial rights
for the Ottoman Empire. Such abb
rogation was not recognized by Amer
lea or by the allied nations. 1t was,
however, accepted by the allies Of
Turkey. Germany and other former
enemy nations were deprived by
Paris treaties Of their capitulatory
rights, and lthey can now have these
restored only by new agreements
with the Egyptian Government.
Egypt has in the past been good
market for American products. It's
imports from this country in 1920, it
Is estimated, were valued at $780,
100000. Our diplomatic agent at
Cairo, J. MERTON HOWELL, recently
expressed the belief that the bust
ness between the two nations can be
trebled in amount il proper attention
is paid to. the Egyptian market.

German Trade With Russia.

Whatever happens at Genoa Russia
and German will go on doing wha,
they are doing now in the matter
of exchanging commodities. The
Krupps, once the great gunmakers of
Europe now vast machinery produc-
ers, are sending agricultural imple-
ments, end various steel wares to
Russia; they are taking back or ar.
ranging to take back from Russia
bristles, manganese and lumber.
Negotiations are under way by the
krupps for establishing in Soviet ter
ritory German locomotive works and
car factories. The SHINES group of
industries has under consideration
manufacturing development in Rus
STA. but as yet the German captains
Of industry do not feel there is good
enough security for the capital they
would invest under the Soviet rule.
Meanwhile. however, Russian raw
material flows across the boundary
lures on basis of cash or on basis
OF barter. Money is only an exchange
instrument to replace the cruder OPP
GRAFTON of barter and facilitate gen.
eral dealings. But. though German
marks and Russian rubles be utterly
demoralized or even totally lacking
as financial measuring sticks, a bushel
OF potatoes owned by one man in the
neighborhood of bushel of wheat
owned by another man can exchange
on an agreed basis of so much wheat
for so many potatoes.
And while the Russian trades with
the German for what each wants
from the other, the basis of exchange
being expressed in quantities of COM
modities instead OF in terms of
money, the very barter in con.
stantly growing volume makes for
conditions and relations between the
two that are bound sooner or later
to result in an organized commercial
system that will fit at least the needs
of the countries mutually and vitality
concerned
England, the great trader, sees
what is going on between Germany
and Russia in this big matter of
trade. and England, the market
builder, knows what it means for the
future. And LLOYD GEORGE. the prac-
tical, brilliant British statesman,
wants to go straight to the heart OF
that business so important to all
Europe if not to the whole world.

Chilean Fruit.
Success in Establishing a Sound
Trade FOreseen.

From the Panama Canal Record.
. A little more than a year ago two
experimental shipments OF fruit were
dispatched from Chile to New York in
the expectation that an important trade
might be developed. based primarily on
the opposition of the seasons north and
south Of the equator. which enables Chile
to ship freshly picked fruits in midwin-
ter and early spring. Tho first consign-
ment Is reported to have met with graft
flying success. but the second resulted in
failure. due apparently to the packing.
Since then the Chilean Government
has carefully Investigated the possible
ties and the requirements OF the New
York market and fresh attempts have
been made under Government patronage
and encouragement to develop the trade.
The steamship Essequibo Of the Pa
cific Steam Navigation Company. which
passed through the Canal on February
10. carried Chilean fruit va@ued in Chile
at 1000 pesos and estimated to be
worth like amount In dollars landed
in New York This included grapes.
peaches, cherries, plums, &c. all care
fully packed and inspected by a Gov
eminent expert before shipment.
The results. as nearly as can be ascer-
tanned on the Isthmus at this time were
entirely satisfactory.
The full development OF this trade may
have to await the assignment of spe-
cially constructed steamships. Those
now available were not designed to carry
fruit and are not as well adapted to
that service as they might be. In any
case the trade will be seasonal and con-
fined to the late winter and early spring,
but II may. nevertheless. assume impor-
tant proportions.
