but it is one of the things to think
about when business is booming,
with danger of unbalanced develop

it at the moment. Prosperity al

welcome prosperity.
AS for the danger of getting all

will be no more to do, the Della

month entertained distinguished
company of guests to show new
ly-completed locomotive, said to
possess about double the efficiency
of any locomotive previously built.
If this is true, it would appear that
the buying of that class of railroad
equipment is about to begin all over
again, and something like that is
occurring all the time all over he

IN industry are constantly making

nothing in the immediate situation
to give great start to trade, the
way is clear, and when this is the
case business naturally goes for

WHAT'S wanted is not sudden rise
of prices, or spasmodic congestion
of orders, but that steady inter-
change of goods and services which
means that production and con-
sumption are in healthy, normal re-

toration of the gold standard. The
visit Of Montagu Norman, Governor
Of the Bank of England, to the
United States lent color to these
rumorS, inspiring the belief that
Great Britain first wished to ascer-
tain Americas future policy govern
ing Federal Reserve Bank rates and
gold movements.
The first great collapse in sterling
came in 1919 following the with
drawal Of artificial support which
had been in effect for about two
years. The abrupt decline from
$4.16 in March to $3.50 late in the
year was accelerated by the dis
quieting events of that period, fore
most of which were the failure of
the peace treaty to pass the United
States Senate and the unsettlement
of world trade.
Sterling's darkest days were en-
countered in February, 1920, when
the cumulative effects of postwar
disappointments were reflected in a
veritable trading panic. A perpen-
dicular break of 81 cents in four
days carried the rate to the lowest
point in history at $3.19.
4 brisk rally followed. Announce
ment by the chancellor of the ex-
chequer that the British treasury
would pay off its portion of the An

the upturn. Thereafter rumors o.

Bismarck Demons took their an

the game did the Mandan team look
dangerous. The Mandan team sadly
missed Burdick, stellar guard of last

functioned we'll as a team and pre-

their counters. The Bismarck team
has been coming on slowly and
promises to be real problem for
their opponents later on in the sea

his stride at forward and is proving
a troublesome man for the defense
to cope with. Shepard moved up
from guard to forward seems to fit
in better and with the return of his
shooting eye will make lot of trou-
BILE for opposing guards. Haas also
is being used at forward and is inn
proving in both floor work and
shooting. The Demon center court
is being handled in good shape by

in good style. Scroggins and Bender
form good team at the two guards
and are putting up great game on

the favorable impression created by

rise of speculative activities in ex-
changes on scale hitherto un-
known. These operations supplied
much of the purchasing power which
put sterling above the 81 mark.
The gradual appreciation of ster-
| ling continued until December, 1922,
when violent upturn of about 90
cents in week to a high level at
$469 attracted the worlds attention
to England's recovery. The rise was

The year 1925 opens to more
hopeful conditions the world over
than has been the case with any
other year since the great war dis
turbed the equilibrium of trade and
industry everywhere. Improve
ment had been going on in previ-
Gus years, but the political and So
cial controversies in Europe have.
been so complex and menacing that
they seemed to dominate the situa-
ton and prevent the full restora-
ton of confidence. These condi-
tions have improved decidedly in
the past year. Social order is more
firmly established in Europe. The
fever for political agitation and ex-
pertinent has died away, and the
antagonisms arising from the war
have been in some degree subdued
by the desire for peace and the re-
establishment of industry.
Importance of the Reparations
Settlement
The reparations settlement has
been the most influential factor in
this process OF improvement. The
volume of trade between Europe
and other countries in recent years
has been much below that OF pre-
war years because OF the derange-
ment of industry and its effect upon
the purchasing power of the Euro
pcan populations and in turn upon
the prices of raw materials and
foodstuffs which Europe has been
accustomed to import. The low
prices of such products in this coun-
try have illustrated the situation
elsewhere.
The British government recently
created special committee to in
uure into the state of British trade,
and at hearing last month dele
CATION from Manchester presented
the facts as to the cotton goods IN
dustry. The London Times gives
a summary of the testimony, from
which the following is taken:
Emphasis was placed in the ev-
;dence on the Importance of the
cotton trade to this country. par
ticularly in regard to exports.
The export of cotton goods con-
stituted some Is per cent of the
whole exports from this country.
The decrease in present exports
as compared with pre-war exports,
put simply, meant that this coun-
try was only sending four yards
of cotton cloth today where we
sent seven yards in 1913, and 2lb.
of cotton yarn where we formerly
sent 3lb.
The witnesses attributed the de-
cline in the cotton export trade
more to the combined effects of
high prices for British goods and
the reduced purchasing power of
oversee customers than to any
other factor. They pointed out
how price levels had been SO dis,

KRAUSE FIGHTS

The Bismarck tribune., 1925-01-17

that the agricultural populations
in our foreign markets were un-
able to exchange the products of
their labor for the same quantity
of manufactured goods as former
ly. The low level OF prices of
the articles exported by certain
oversee countries resulted in the
purchasing power of these mar
kets being seriously diminished.
Whereas the average price per
unit of cotton goods exported
from this country had increased
since 1913 by 142 per cent, the
average price of cereals exported
by India had only increased by
81 per cent. Similar comparisons
were made regarding the exports
of other consuming countries.
These considerations led the
witnesses to emphasize the i'm
portance of amy steps which
might lead to a reduction of Lam
cashire's prices, and to foreign
policy which would foster eco-
nomic rehabilitation throughout
the world. .
The beneficial effects of the repair
ations settlement already have been
felt Exports of two leading raw
materials, copper and cotton, from
the United States in the last five
months have been far ahead of those
for corresponding months in any
other year since the war, and the
increase to Germany has been the
principal factor in the gain. More
over, the benefits of better condi-
tions do not appear only in direct
trade with Germany. The Manches-
ter Guardian Commercial comment
ing upon shipments of cotton goods
to Central America expresses the
opinion that large purchases of
coffee by Germany in recent months
have contributed to increased sales
of Lancashire products in those
countries and in Brazil.
Unity of the World Organization
Mr.. Owen D. Young, Chairman
of the Board of the General Elec-
trio Company, was honored last
month with testimonial dinner in
New York, given in recognition of
his services as a member of the
Dawes Committee. Speaking of the
interest of the United States in the
prosperity of other countries, he
said: 1--WE may debate political
participation in the affairs of the
world as we will, but we must par
ticipate in it's business, and busi-
ness like science knows no political
boundaries and in its dictionary
there is no such word as isolation. y

tions are maintained between them.
