FRIGHTENING EUROPEAN SKIES

! The report on conditions in Europe
brought back by Mr. julius Barnes of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce stands apart by special quail
ties of its own. Others have been
able to gain but hasty and partial
views. Mr. Barnes and his fellow
delegates to the convention in Rome
made deliberate and extensive stud
les. Some travellers to Europe return
with a mere confirmation of the preju-
dices which they carried with them
abroad. But these representatives OF
American business locked into the in
dustrial and financial affairs of coun-
try after country without preposses-
sions and with the sole desire to as
certain the facts. The conclusions
which they reached are stated else
where in today's Times by Mr.. Barnes
with some detail. In general. it may
be said of them that they are highly
reassuring and encouraging.
The great thing is that Europe has
got back to work. The vast disloca-
tions caused by the war are being re-
paired. Capital in enormous amounts
was destroyed in the course OF the
four years struggle, but its slow re-
placement has begun. Even in Vienna
the savings banks show marked in
crease in deposits. Much remains to
be done, but promising beginnings
have been made in nearly every coun-
try, and hope is beating high again in
the breasts of fmost European peoples.
The industrial machine is functioning
once more and markets are reopening.
Even in the tense relations between
France and Germany promise of a
better spirit is now visible. Europe
plainly faces brighter days. But she
still turns. partly puzzled, partly hope
full, to America. One of the resolu-
tions adopted by the Rome convention
called for the summoning of world
economic conference to discuss and
do it's best to solve problems left over
by the war If the government OF the
United States were soon to announce
a willingness to call together such a
conference Europe would feel that her
faint dawn bade fair to pass into full
noon.-New York Tribune.
