At a time of audi excltoment It la In ovltablo that the best securities should bo sold to protect commitments In badly Inflated Isauen, rout niwayn jiappens, and as more Liberty bond are out BtundlnB than there are of any other Issuo and those bonds are distributed as no other bonds ever have been dis tributed In the United States, It stands to reason that such holding will bo the first availed of to provide cash margins In a liquidating stock market. Thoio Is sues have been affected, sentimentally at least, by rumors of another Govern ment bond Issue to provide uonus money which Congress may appropriate for ser vice men. Another factor has been the advance from 4 to B and 5 V Pr cent. In the Interest rate on Treasury certifi cates of Indebtedness. Immense tssues of those certificates havo absorbed credit badly needed by banks Jo accommodate commercial borrowers and finance ovory day business demands. It the episode of Japan's panlo means anything and tho rise to 7 per cent. In the English bank rate has any signifi cance, tho peoplo of this country must roallxo that orderly deflation has begun, Commodity prices are high and In a few Instances may go higher, but tho down ward trend has set In and tho seller these days ,1s not always In control of tho situation, A dcurth of certain cIosbcs 1 of merchandise still exists and, because of the reduced output, It Is increasingly difficult to supply special classes of mer chandise. But n hesitant tono prevails In many lines, which is In sharp contrast with the spirited buying of a few months ago, boforo the. credit crisis became a controlling influence In flnnnclal affairs. That does not mean at "all that Industry Is on the downgrado and that tho coun try necessarily Ih In for hard times. General trado Is In largo volume, and some industries nro reporting notable gains.

Thn urnantlnnal decline In Stock market prices In a week when extremely Interesting facts toucning me couapoc oi credit In Japan wero claiming the first nitron nf the newsoarers emphasized onco again tho seriousness of worldwide credit strain. Japan is. or course, an Infinitely poorer country than tho United States, but tho panic in that country, llko the forced security liquidation here, was traceable chiefly to Inflation and high prices, oxtravngant living and wasteful expenditures. From a country having a largo trade balance In Its favor during the war period, It has shifted Its position to that of n debtor nation, with an. Import balance of $100,000,000 to set tle for accumulated 'during tho first quarter of 1920 alone. Reckless specu lation was Indulged In nnd for a time It was difficult to convince her people Hint eaiy profits would not continue indefin itely, i C'nrtnilliiK r.xtravaKaiirr. If tho American people can learn any thing from tho experience of others they should realize that this nation must put Its Industrial house In order and strengthen weak spots In Its credit struc ture. Instead of being forced to spend J18.000.000 a day for running tho Gov ernment, making record purchases of Jewelry and precious stones at tho high est prices ever known and Indulging in extravagant living on a scale which makes necessary tho withdrawal of an Immenso body of skilled labor needed for productive employment, wo must cut down our loan account In accordance with tho financial requirements of essen tial Industry. If we fall to adopt safe guards we shall experience a financial disturbance nearer home than Japan and of much greater moment than that which forced the closing of the Toklo Stock Ex change. That situation Is recognized fully by the Federal Reserve. Board, bankers, economist.1) and business men of large affairs. Tho world Is heavily short of credit, largely becaupo Government costs are at record level, when neces saries of life are selling at prices so high as to force a portion of the 'popula tion to go undernourished. Potentlnl Strength. Wo have enormous reserve capital and nnd resources to fall back on and there Is no reason why this country should experience financial disturbance of any kind It its people have tho forethought and the will power to do business on the rafety first principle Instead of dis sipating their substance In wasteful ex. pendlturcs. Burdens of reconstruction are second only to burdens of war, be cause complications which have de veloped since the signing of the armis tice have placed almost crushing bur dens on the people. Tho American gold supply has been tho target for every hard pressed nation ever since the taslt of restoring Kurope's crippled machinery was taken up. Such one sided demands of mammoth proportions dislocated for eign exchange and forced such a depre ciation In foreign currencies as to make purchases of supplies in tho United States difficult for our foreign cus tomers. Tho result has been that our export excess, although still well above normal, has diminished, owing chiefly to Increase of J 1,300.000,000 In Imports In nine months. Financing Commerce. As foreign buying In this country has been mado more difficult by the unprece dented break In exchange and the re sultant advance In dollar credits abroad, foreign selling to the United States has been made easier, and thus for some foreign manufacturers to compete ef fectively for American business with manufacturers and producers of this country has become possible. The strain on credits has been Intensified by the abnormally high price level at which business has been done and tho sequence of wnge advances, reduced output and alarming Inefficiency of labor. Wo is sued more securities last year than eveV hitrnrn nnd In addition attempted to float a prodigious amount of foreign Government securities In this country. Those total omissions were In excess of our national savings and, instead of do ing extra work needed to bring pro ductlon up to consumption, there has been a material decline In the country's Industrial output. The credit strain has been Increased further by three costly strikes In basic Industries in a few months and the freight blockade, tie-up of harbor traffic and shortening of the working day in many Industries have added greatly to the difficulty of re ducing tho loan account. Commercial norroirlnir. At the time when the banks had those difficulties to contend with the move ment of gold to South America as sumed large proportions, weakening the credit basis at the moment when cor porations and business firms, occus- ,tomed to sell their paper to reserve city banks in large volume found that Imarkot practically closed to them. The 'result has been that hundreds of those I borrowers, finding It Impossible to sell I their paper In the open market, were i forced to ask banks for accommodation I to keep going, rite banks have stood I tho strain well and. with cooperation of tho Federal Reserve Board, have dis criminated sharply between non-essen tial loans and productive credits. That discrimination probably has been more emphasized In England than here, bo- cause complications oi me ixmaon market have been more complex nnd the strain of longer duration. But the whole world Is confronted with the need of curtailing unnecessary borrow ings to conserve banking reserves and provide a gold base for credit expan sion which must como when crops begin to move.
