FOREIGN COMPETITION

The theory that it is bad business for the other
nations to help German revival finds support from
Henry Bell of Lloyds Bank, one of the leading British
bankers. Speaking recently in Boston, he admitted
that TO improve Germany currency by big loan is to
strengthen her competitive capacity But he re-
minded critics how they told, truly enough that
the collapse of German currency, by enabling Ger
many to under-pay her workers and produce cheaply
was also to the disadvantage of her competitors
Granting her loan,' he remarks will enable
her to sell in competition with us-but also to buy In
any long view, the prosperity of all it cumulative, and
six 100000 only harmed by the detection
failure folly misery Of part of their number.
In the Dawes report, there is suggestion that
the strengthening of German finances will make Ger
many menace. With this attitude he confidently
agrees IF Germany can, result of financial
sistance make and sell her goods she must buy from
others and the she sells, the she must buy
This view, endorsed by the National City Bank of
New York, is worth keeping in mind, not only
CARDS Germany but principle applying to all other
nations America normally suffers they suffer and
prospers in their prosperity The old truth, mo man
liveth unto himself and dieth unto himself"
applies to nations and to business.

MILITARY ATHLETICS

Officers, it seems, have been monopolizing army
athletics. change for the benefit of enlisted is
planned under the three-year program recently de-
veloped by the war department, effective January l.
Under the regime only one officer will be al
lowed to play any given team with the exceptions of
golf tennis and polo Baseball, football and basket
ball are to be kept open for the rank and file.
Hereafter there will be athletic contests between
teams from the various army corps areas, with sched
ules arranged between them and marines and naval
men stationed near. ~ 9fN
r Dissatisfaction of enlisted with the present
trend of army athletics and Tightening of congress
sonal purse strings said to have been the two de-
Gliding factors in this change of athletic plans.
Many civilians know nothing about army athletics.
They realize vaguely that sports useful in their
way as military drilling is IN its way, and they assume
that the army and navy play in the proper time and
place That complications arise between officers and
enlisted in the realm of sports rarely occurred to
new regime in sports with its suggestion that demo-
cracy is difficult maintain in the athletics of
