It cannot be accomplished by trickery,
such as juggling with credit values and
currency. The question Is, How can
the three inter-related factors be re-
stored to ''ncrmalcy"2
There are a certain number Of con-
sumers in the world. They naturally
desire to purchase what they need as
reasonably as possible To meet their
demand producers and distributors must
operate reasonably and efficiently. The
prevailing depression was brought about,
in part at least. by extravaganza and
inefaciency. But 1t also was brought
about by competition. and competition
is a normal thing. The British textile
industry. for example, has the opposi-
ton Of mills in Japan. China and India.
Consequently the eastern trade. which
once was so vastly profitable to Eng
land, has all but vanished. What are
the British textile people to do? OBJ
viously. they must cut their costs and
at the same time improve the quality
Of their product. But 1t may be OBJ
jected that difference In standards
of living makes 1t impracticable to COM
pete with the East. British workmen
cannot subsist on q handful Of rice a
day. But neither can Japanese. Chi

told And 1t is in this fact. perhaps.

ing throughout the world Is indicatsA
OF course, that must be a slow business.
Hence the overproduction OF the pres
ent period. The world has been pro-
ducing more than 1t could distribute
and use scientifically. in obedience to
the eternal law Of quid pro quo. some

ducing at a loss. in effect.

matter much. The world Of agricul-

small proportion of the bishops.

pose than to meet a national emer-
gency. There are large stocks Of all
these commodities in various parts OF
the world at present and they overhang
the international market, with a de-
pressinng effect on production. Any

ment. But, they say, how about our

World Employment Improving
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKlN..

New figures compiled by the interna-
tional labor office on unemployment In
the chief industrial countries Of the
world reveal q heartening improvement
in working conditions everywhere. The
tide appears to have been reversed, and
instead of the numbers Of the unem-
pioyed rising month by month, as they
did over so long q period, there is .
steady diminution.
The United States has the greatest num-
Der of persons still out of work, but the
high point appears to have been passed.
Last August marked the high tide in this
country, when, according to the Ge-
neva Offices figures, there were H.
100000 persons unemployed. This Is
about 80 per cent of the total number
OF persons normally in the enjoyment
OF regular-salaried or wage-paying jobs
or having positions in the business world
which would cause them to be listed as
among the gainfully employed.
The international labor office's fig
ures carry through to the end of Sep
only 10,900,000 unemployed. This is a
reduction of 100000 in the course Of a
single month. Could that rate Of return
to work be maintained, 1t would not be
long before the unemployment problem
would be a thing Of the past. What
makes the situation look especially op-
timistic is that the United States is not
alone in showing improvement. Men
and women are going back to work In all
principal countries. A
Great Britain has suffered more from
unemployment than any other country,
because it has been so long-continued
Ever since the end of the World War
there has becn a serious unemployment
condition in England 1t has been ag-
gIaTated by the fact that, as deadened
conditions extended out over the world
and times grew hard in the British COL
onies and dominions overseas, English
men who had gone out to seek their
fortune decided to return home.
Tide Turns In England.
The result was that for the first time
in England's thousand years immigra-
ton exceeded emigration. Since the
days Of Alfred the Great, Englishmen
had been going out to the far places
of the earth in quest of fortune. In
so doing they founded the greatest en-
pire Of history. Each generation sent
a new wave out from the tight little isle
to new lands, to make them with the
living and mark them with the dead.
So it was that as times grew hard
all over the world the EngSshmen
turned homeward. preferring, they ex-
planned, to starve at home among friends,
within sound of Bow Bells and along
the Old Kent road to starving in inhos-
pitable lands. This meant that the
numbers Of unemployed were added to
with the arrival of every ship, for there
were no new jobs to offer the home
corners.
Yet. in spite of this situation, the
year has seen a marked improvement in
conditions, according to the interna-
tlonal labor Office report. The high
point for the year was reached last jan
uary, when 1884, 900 men and women
were out of work in England. Since
then the numbers have been steadily
dwindling, until now they are down to

Trade Arrangement May
Lead to Debt Revision
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

The first concrete plan for securing
economic advantages to the United
States in return for extending or reduc-
ing the war debts-"taking 1t out in
trade" as our fathers used to say-has
been presented to high officials in the
present administration and made known
to those of the incoming one, as we'll
as to some of the well-known personnel
which directed the War Industries
Board in 19l7-l918.
It became known in rather limited
circles in Washington this week that
the plan which contemplates the de-
livery to the United States Government
by European governments of certain
basic materials for war purposes, bears
the marks of some rather close and de-
tailed economic thinking. Offered by
certain authorities on war needs, who
as yet prefer not to be quoted, the plan
has been pronounced sound by econ
omists whose names. when known, will
carry conviction to the popular mind.
Briefly stated, the plan calls for the
delivery to the United States of raw
materials not produced at home which
are necessary for our industries at all
times and for our national defense in
time Of war. The War Department al
ways has on hand q list of such
strategic materials, those which are
essential in the manufacture Of NUM-
tions or to the industries producing
munitions. These are materials which,
in normal times, must be procured from
foreign countries because they are not
produced in this country.
Among the most vital are manganese,
chromium, tin, rubber. nickel, mercury.
tungsten. mica and charcoal from CO.
conut shells, the last named being used
in gas masks. Some of these already
exist within our continental limits, but in
such small quantities that they can be
produced adequately only under the
artificial stimulus of high wartime
profits. During the World War We paid
enormous premiums on these products,
buying most Of them from Great Brit
ain. France and Italy, or rather the
colonial possessions of these countries.
Unit prices increased by several hun
dred per cent in some cases.
