Change Would Help Cuba.
The republic Of Cuba clearly Illus
trates the contention that political
troubles result from economic, disturb
ances. For the past five years the island
has had hard shedding in the field oil
economics and finance. And for. the
same number of years the opposition to
the Machado regime steadily grew.
Irrespective of the possible justice Of
the grievances against the existing ad-
mtnistration, 1t is safe to state that O
change today would not constitute g
panacea for all of Cuba's ills. Peru anc
Chile, Bolivia and Brazil, have proved
the accuracy Of this view.
In the meantime continued unrest in

Various Forms of Default.
Default is not merely unwiilingness
or inability to meet obligations. 1t may
take various forms, such as forced loans
or conversion Of outstanding issues into
new loans on less favorable terms.
The Commonwealth of Australia Is
resorting to such method. The internal
debt Of the country, to the extent OF
$650000,000, is to be exchanged for a
similar amount Of bonds, which will
bear interest at the rate of IT'S per
cent of the original rate In other
words, a per cent loan will become q
37s per cent issue, a per cent loan will
bear interest at the rate of 81 per cent
and SO on.
This step is forced by the grave eco
nonnic position Of the country and by
the avowed intention to continue to
meet promptly and. faithfully external
debts, held largely in Great Britain and
the United States.

Steel Orders Below Average.
The decrease in United States Steel
untitled orders in excess of what has
generally been expected is probably due
to the fact that orders received toward
the end of last month were somewhat
below the average earlier in July.
While little improvement is expected
this month, there are reasons for hoping
that an advance will be registered in
September, which may perhaps gather
momentum in subsequent months
In the meantime it would appear that
improvement in the quotations of lead
ing steel shares is due, in addition to
expectations of better conditions in the
industry, to short covering and the re-
framing on the part of professionals
from entering the market on the short
side.
PhiIadeIphia's Credit Good.
The credit standing of the City Of
Philadelphia is as high as ever, in spite
of the fact that no bids were received
for a $4,000, 600 loan. The money is
required to meet pay rolls of municipal
employees due next Saturday, 1t is not
impossible that the short term of the
proposed credit. scheduled to run for
about four and half months was re-
sponsible for the lack of interest How
ever. there is no doubt that arrange
ments will be made in time to take care
Of the current needs of the city govern
ment.
European Stringency Relaxes.
1t seems that the money stringency
is beginning to relax In European f1nan-
cial centers. Such developments usually
foreshadow @mportant credit arrange
ments at a later date.
While this may be seriously questioned
at the moment. owing to the pronounced
weakness in foreign loans, despite some
improvement recently, we know from
experience that the investors point of
view is subject to change who, prior
to the sale of the Dawes bonds, would
have thought it possible to sell in the
American market Central European is
sues of any kind?
A systematic educational campaign
was undertaken by those interested in
the flotation of the issue, which became
an outstanding success marketwise.

is the prohibition controversy with
in his own party that must be set
tied somehow, and then the 1885,
campaign Whatever the outcome
of the former, Shouse still will be
largely responsible.
Having had newspaper experience
Shouse has used newspaper tactics
to accomplish his ends, and, with
the assistance Of Charles Nicholson
once reporter for the New York
World, there has been piled up in
the country's periodicals the great
est collection Of Democratic pub
Lefty ever gathered.
Through his Well-organized pub
Lefty bureau he has made Demo-
cratic congressman and senator's
articular, and has used his and
Michelson's abilities to meet each
issue as it arose.
Importance of this is evident
when it is recalled that in the
past Democrats worked themselves
into fighting trim only once every
four years. Shouse has carried the
fight to the Republicans and more
than once put them on the defen-
sive. He hopes to keep his party
on the offensive.
In Kentucky, his home state, he
started as a reporter and finally
became managing editor and then
business manager of a newspaper.
He was elected as a Democrat to
the state senate Of Kansas, where
he moved when young man. AS
q Democrat he represented a Kan
