am far from predicting disasrer--

They will do better when they work,

SLUMP is NECESSARY.
France is. since the war, one of the
best equipped countries in the world.
She will therefore go through the hard
time whilst she is redeeming the &C
cumulated follies of the last six years
of dishonest finance.
A great French industrial whom |
saw recently. foretold that this sum
mer would see the beginning of the
French slump. The sooner it comes,
the shorter 1t VIII last.
The same observations apply. but in
a more limited degree, to Italy. The
Mussolini regime, with all its glaring
faults. has balanced its budget but it
has yet to stabilize the Ira. When il
does, there will be a temporary set
back to the prosperity of Italian In
duStry.

But the trade we have, We have
captured and retained against the
forces of inflationism at their strong

year, the positions We recovered,
slightly extended our front and adj
vanced a little here and there. We
have lost ground in coal but no one
else has occupied that ground. 1t is
lost through the inevitable erosion
which comes from the action of tide

What is the position of our most
formidable competitors in the Euro

THE WAITING GAME.
The depreciation of French cur
rency is, for the moment, helping the
French export trade. We cannot hit it
because the franc is so low that our
trade fires over its head. They cct
and undersell in oar own markets,
outside our very factory doors.
We cannot compete-but we can
wait. This kind of business with
debased coin is. in reality, the sub
sidizing of export trade at the expense
of the French rentier-and to a small.
err extent at the cost of the French
ouvrier. 1t cannot go on indefinitely
and, when it ends, it will stop with
bump that will upset many a cart.

Italy is ready to bury liberty, so

GREAT BRIT!AIN'S TROUBLE.
1t would be a mood which would adj
mirably suit the builder were it not
for the fact that sound construction
necessarily involves some preliminary
destruction. Structures which are
worthless and destructive must be de-
molished and cleared out of the way.
But Europe has seen so much demoli-
ton that it hates any pulling down.
That is one of the troubles of
Great Britain, tndustrially as well as
politically. Before Britain fully re-
covers her industrial position there is
a good deal of bold work to be done
in reconstructing her equipment, her
organization and her ideas.
One day the country will wake up
to the imperative necessity of this
task. Nineteen hundred and twenty
five was decidedly not a good year for
British trade. Three of its greatest in
dustries-coal, iron and steel-haye
gone back. In other trades there has
been steady progress-but painfully
slow.
In comparison with 1913-taking
:.
real and not figural values-our ex-
port trade is down over 20 per cent
and 1925 is rather worse than 1924.
1t is no use beating the tomtoms to
keep up the courage of our industrial
army and drown the cries Of wounded
industries. That is to resort to savag-
cry.
We have a decided advantage over
our trade rivals in Europe. If wisely

PRESIDENT DISAGREES.

After presenting my views as clearly
and forcibly as l could. assured him
of my entire confidence in his desire to
do what was best for the people, and
of my deep regret that we could not
view these two phases of the subject
in the same light.
He shared in the regret and ex-
pressed willingness to have me
state my position. if, when the plan
was finally ready, there were any
parts Of it which could not endorse.
and l assured him that if / felt COM
PEELED TO dissent from any part of
the plan 1 would accompany the dis
sent with an explicit statement of
confidence in the disintercstedness of
his intention and make my dissent
as mild as conditions would permit.
In conversation with Secretary Nc
Adoo and Private Secretary Tumulty
i went over much the same ground
and expressed my distress at not be-
ing able to agree with the President
on these points and my fear that the
plan under consideration would divide
or party and make any currency re-
form impossible.

Third, the security contemplated
might interfere seriously with the poll
teal independence of China. Fourth,
it linked our country with other coun-
tries and deprived it of any indcpend-
ence in dealing with China.
The American group, being only one
Of six groups, could not have a con-
trolling voice in matters connected
with the connection of the loans. nnd
this government, being only one of
six governments interested through
representatives, could not have a con-
trolling voice in determining methods
to be employed in enforcing the loan.
The President and members of the
cabinet, after considering my report,
reached the same conclusion, and the
President issued q statement declining
to ask the group to participate furth-
err in the loan. In the discussion OF
the subject before the Cabinet meet
ing, it was suggested that the refusal
to approve the loan should be accom-
panied by a strong declaration favor
abel to the extension Of our commerce
in the Orient. and the Presidents
statement, issued in April, 1918, con-
tains such a statement.

Britain. But the government, by its

ments representatives being in the
majority.
After hearing the proposed plan l
advised against any attempt to pass
such a bill at this session and against
its introduction until after the tariff
bill was signed. The reason was, as l
stated to him that such a currency
plan would be sure to arouse great op-
position in the Democratic party and
might jcopardize the passage of the
tariff bill through the Senate, in
which the party had a small margin
and in which some senators were
greatly opposed to free wool and free
sugar.
CITES JEFFERSON.
I called his attention to the fact
that our party had been committed by
Jefferson and Jackson and by recent
platforms TO the doctrine that the is
sue of money is a function of govern
mcnt and should not be surrendered to
banks, and that / was so committed to
the doctrine that l could not consis-
tcntly indorse the authorization of
more bank notes and that to do so
would forfeit the confidence of those
who trusted me-this confidence be-
ing my only political asset, the loss of

FORMING CURRENCY BILL.

After the discussion Of a currency
bill had gone on for some time and it
was generally understood that the
President favored the passage of n
currency bill at this session. he invit-
cd me to the White House to confer
on the subject.
He presented the plan then under
consideration and expressed the hope
that would be able to support it.
The plan was substantially that en-
bodied in the Owen Glass bill. with
two exceptions: First, that the emcr-
scncy notes were to be issued by the
regional reserve banks as bank notes
are now issued; and second. that the
central board of control was to be
composed in part of representatives
appointed by the banks, the govern

Anything or everything was possible.
With audacious and skilIful leader
ship such as was at their disposal, the
disconnected in Russia might well have
produced similar results in other coun-
tries.
Millions of demobilized soldiers came
home with the habit of quiet and
steady industry bombardcd out of their
systems by war, with its excitement,
its rush and, perhaps most of all, its
periods of enforced idleness. They
could not settle down; they were ready
for anything except work and, had
they been led by something better than
the new type of conscientious objector
thrown up by the war-surely the
poorest specimens ever engendered by
the human conscience-they might, in
that mood, have wrecked all social or.
der in Europe.

ship from them as long rs they serve
under another flag, it should discour-
age the money of this country from
taking a part in foreign wars.
1t is another step in the direction
of peace, for the inability of bclligcr-
cnt nations to secure foreign loans
must exert strong restraining .influ-
cncc upon them.

 "I had always thought it was only women and girls that kept up that idea of class. l had always thought that men were more democratic"
