that street has been completed along that portion of the route. ac- companied by an immense boom in the construction of oflice buildings along the route. Where that part of Eighth avenue once was . street for up-and-coming business houses to avoid, it now is to vie in importance with some other subway -energized streets, notably Seventh avenue. one block east.
 It took far-sighted business in New York some years to discover that subways were not q detriment to trade. One remembers quite well the attitude of big and little busi- ness along lower Broadway at the time the first subway was planned. The business men, wise and per- spicacious. announced to q man that they would have none of the thing along their street; it would terribly reduce real estate values, they held. and it's construction would be an unmitisated nuisance. Who, for instance. could do busi- ness while the street was dug up to construct a subway! they asked. So the route carefully avoided low CT Broadway. taking a circuitous route to arrive at the Battery. Less than ten years later the same busi- ness men were clamoring for . subway under lower Broadway. and their desires finally were gratified. They wanted. and got. the increase in realty values due to the presence of the subway, and by now most of the old business structures have given way to skyscrapers
 Sixth avenue is another thorough fare desiring subway treatment. But the situation is complicated. The old Sixth avenue elevated structure is present, impeding traf- fife, shutting out light. and holding back Sixth avenue from a develop- ment such as that which has come | to Seventh avenue and is destined to come to Eighth. A law passed in 1924 allows the city to condemn the elevated line. and it is proposed to proceed after the Eighth avenue subway has started operating.
 Careful observers point out that the process is not likely lo alleviate the subway jams. as many thou sands still use the elevated lines, and if those using the Sixth ave-
 nue l. are forced to use the new subway, the jam will be quite as
 pronounced as in the older sub
 ways.
 And as nothing succeeds in New York like the construction of sky scrapers. there Is no likelihood. no matter how many new subways are
 built, to change conditions. The
 more people concentrated in the
 skyscrapers. the greater the jam in
 the subways when they come and
 leave work. This is a penalty for trying 10 concentrate such a large ! slice of the nations business on
 Manhattan Island. There is more
 room elsewhere, but somehow it isn't utilized.

Of the many mistakes made d. rectly after the war. none is more self evident now than the matter of deliveries in kind from Germany to the allied countries. By accepting reparations from Germany "in trade" or in goods. it was once be- lieved that the nations receiving the goods would be greatly benefited. Just the opposite has been the case. The nations receiving large assort- ments of goods from Germany. from bird cages to power machinery. have discovered that with each shipment there is just that much less chance for local industry to furnish the goodA France and Belgium, receiv- ing carloads of manufactured goods as gift, fairly tottered under the economic impact. Native industrial ists were quick to discover that such
 
 a settlement of war debts was in- turing them in the domestic market. Although the Young agree- ment still calls for payments in kind. there is a clause that they will be regulated, possibly abolished, in the near future. Unleas we judge the mood of the allied nations in- correctly. they care not whether the plan is stopped forthwith. Great Britain, considerable of sufferer from the process. is to make a mo- ton at the earliest opportunity to abolish these payments. which SO effectually undermine the economic structures.
 Nations, as we'll as individuals, prosper best when their neishbors are prospering; when their neigh bors are good consumers and good producers. The financial and eco- homie experts who fashioned the new separations agreement did their work under this knowledge, Germany continues to pay a mint of money, and much in goods, but it IS fortunate for everybody that there has been a moving away from the fantastic figures that fooled people at the close of the war. At that time only the United States experts were sane about those things, and Of course we from the start refused to have anything to do with exactins an indemnity. l The fly in the ointment, so far as our associates in the war is con- cerned. is the war debt they owe us. We have reduced it by liberal refunding operations, but the fact that the indemnity from Germany will not be vastly higher than the war debts to the United States is certain to be an irksome feature. | Pressure 10 reduce the American ] debt through what will amount to donations no doubt will be acceler- aeed during the coming years. Yet there is hope that. after three years. the MeIlen- Berenger agreement on the French debt will be ratified by the French parliament this year. On the other hand. it may not be ratified. If it isn't. bargaining over the war debts will grow more in- tense: and Great Britain. which | made the most liberal refunding ar- rangment, likewise may ask for . revision.
 The trouble is that our European associates do not see much logic in paying hard-w money 10 the rich est nation in the world.
