Aside from the purelj speculative movements, the most logical considera tion may be gen to the action of the Washington goernment In placing an embargo upon nn further foreign loans. The higher rates for money at the lSrltlsh capital would, ordinarily. In view of the vnmpiiratUc easing of the rates for monri hire, ns alleged, woulil have n temleney to strengthen exchange ns inil eating a transfer of balances.

London advices, rela the to the recent boom In foreign ex change, suggest thnt the rise has liecn pnrtly due to exaggerated expectations of favorable developments from the meeting of the Supreme Council. It is a matter of general knowledge that the two most important factors In causing the present pronounced recov ery In tho foreign exchanges have been the dullness of international trade, re flected In an almost complete absence nf commercial bills mid the decline in the prices of our exportable commodi ties to about one-third of the figures ruling nt the high point in tlic wnr. The London Times has this to say about foreign exchange: "During tho war the watering down of currency was not fully rctlected in the foreign ex changes, because of the rise of costly 'stabilizing' devices; but these ucre gradually abiindnnrd and in 1020 the exchanges were exposed to a real eco nomic vnluntlon, namely, thnt fixed by Hie relation of supply and demand. "In the ense of the continental coun tries, the currencies having no stability, their external wilues fluctuate almost hourly. Because of their volatile char acter, bankers refuse to lend against them and, generally, will continue to do so until steps are taken to put a stop tit the further Inflation of cur rency and the existing paper money Is once .more fixed In n definite relation whip to gold or to sterling."

Uarton Hopburn not Ions aso), we have no alternative but to euapect either lack of know I. den or a titanic struggle between principal and Interest. Tou frankly state that "a tariff law adapted tn the situation must be framed with almost a much retard for tho foreign producer as for the home manufacturer." Hut. Mr. Editor. Just a Lincoln proclaimed that this nation could not endure, half lav and half free, so we today cannot endure halt protectionist and half free trade. There Is no "almost" In our economic vocabulary We must be either nationalist or Internationalist American or hyphenate. Our old-established Industries, under the beneficent Influence of protection, hve been de eloped to I he point where Ihey can easily supply the. entire requirements' of the home market. Not one of them that needs pro tective duties to equallzt differences In pro duction costs here and abroad can, for ob vious reasons, seil Its products In forsUm markets In competition with Europeans Therefore every yard or pound of goods Im ported means n corresponding stoppage of such home machinery nnd loss of employ ment to some homo workman What Is this Utopia that Is so persistently dangled before our eyes! The last statistics mailable the census of 1014 lvs the to tal value of our domestic manufactures ns about menty-four times the total alue of our exports ef manufactures To be exact, 4 58 per cent went to this "land of promise," while 01 47 per cent stayed right hero In tn best market on earth Shall the tall wag the dog? No, Mr. Editor, there Is no ruch thing as old tsrlffs out of date In the sense ou mean The principles that govern them are eternal and no war has changed or can change them If there Is anything out of ,Hte.

In saying that the old tariffs are out of date the i:rtNO I'mttC I,riIBB was merely n resting In another form what William Me Klnle said In his famous last speech in Iluffalo about twenty jears ago This news jiper Is not advancing free trade, but I. has lieen Insisting for tho past three or four j ears that It would be a grievous mls-l-ike to Ignore In framing a tariff law the great economic faot that the United States has become a creditor nation within a dec ade and cannot -safely pursue the tariff pol icy of a debtor nation Editor.

If thie lioya had been on this side In peace the wouldn't need to ask for that bonus for thotc fellows who wero "fighting at home" had the chanoe to make big money nnd were also being paid a bonus by their employers If they failed to receive It, they put up a kick. The ex-service boys are In need of tho bonus Why make them wait? The writer who believes the boys shouldn't ask for pay for what thry did. I wonder If ho Is as grind a nUer ns a talker.

H declares most naively that "liar ey Hunt know dogs never howl except when tho moon la shining or perhaps under ths Influence of some mutloat Instrument." Buroly he himself must have been "under tho Influence," for he continues to state quits blandly that the dog's howl Is the same as tho hunting cry of tho wolves, "which Is nover heard on a dark night, when the animals tbuld not see their quarry." Would this writer Imply that woHos do not hunt exoept when the moon shines? Would he Imply that wolves fast when tho moon Is hid? Further: Wo would like to ask him (and his frlsnd Harvey) If either of the two has eer hoard of tho hunting erv of the wolf? Or even tho wall of tho domesticated dog? And, also, whether ho thinks tho wolf eon fines his hunt cry until only those occasions when ho Actually sees his prey?
