Restoring Philippine Credit

General Wood is taking steps TO
veorganize Philippine finances and
restore the iNsular government &
credit. He has recommended the
passage Of Law authorizing loan
of s22 100000 Out Of this $40, 0,ooo.-
600 of outstanding certificates Of III
deotedness are to be paid, and the
remainder is to be turned over to the
currency redemption fund, depleted
by loans Of s9.O00.O0O to the Philip
pine National Bank. The bank can
not return this money. which its
directors recklessly tied up in long
time, unliquidstable Investments
The fund for the maintenance Of
the parity Of gold and silver was
used by the bank for speculative
purposes, with the result, as the
Philippine special mission reports,
that the insular currency "is now
practically fiat currency Under
the Harrison administration the
bank got control Of $4l,500, 900 Of
the governments trust and reserve
funds. Its management passed into
inc> perienced hands General Con-
cepclon, native, was made pres-
dent. Loans were made on made
quate security TO sugar and other
factories. The institution also spec
ulated unsuccessfully in exchange.
The loss on banking transactions ran
up TO s22 100000, and much capital
was frozen" in the depression which
follow cd the war boom. japanese
and Borneo banks finally refused to
honor the Philippine National Banks
notes and drafts.
This venture in native administra-
zion Of the bank is described by the
special Philippine mission as "ons Of
the most unfortunate and darkest
pages in Philippine history Ii will
not be repeated An experienced
American banker has taken charge
and is cleaning up. But the general
funds Of the government have had to
be diverted to the banks support,
and the insular treasury now finds
itself running behind. For that rea-
son new bond issue has had to be
resorted TO.
General Wood expects little diff

ton. But the banking fiasco points

the whole Wilson-Harrison policy.

monies.

emy class Of one thousand or more

are to be officers in the Red army Of
100000 that is nov the pride and
joy Of the soyiets. Trotzky is spick
and span in the neatest of uniforms.
Not a crease is in his garments.

Others in Russia may be hungry,
but he cats regularly. On his coun-

his theatrical pride equals that of
Napoleon when crowned in Notrc
Dame. Who knows, the expression
seems to say, that there may not BE
another Man on Horseback making
all Europe echo to his hoofheats.
1yotzky has an army and he is an
adventurer.
The comrades throughout the
world, Of course, take great pleasure
in the good luck that has come to one
of their company. The heart Of BIZ

aren't the Haywoods the equals Of

Two years ago. In other words, they
lost money during 1920 and 1921.
Their Inventories have shrunk tremcn-

high and they are difficult TO reduce.
Their chances Of making money this
year are not overcncouraging either.
Mr.. Adam. might 90 still further
What about tn. working man in all
walks Of life? Did he make any money
in 1921? Is he going to make any
money this year? 1t does not look very
encouraging. He hasn't regular work
and. all with al the supposedly reduced
cost of living, it does not actually work
out as the papers would have US be-
lieVe. Retail prices on many things
are much higher than they should be.
Take 1t all in all Mr.. Adams's wall

That might make the farmer feel bet
