The discussion has been made a
pertinent one by the fact that Con-
gress has had under advisement the
renewal of our trade treaties. Hap-
pily. fne lower house haw approved
extension of the treaties, and the
Senate would be crazy not to do In
a like manner The treaties seem to
be the only thing right now that will
wave our foreign trade, and It will
be in bad enough shape then We
are not in position to trade with
Germany, and our trade treaty with
Japan haw lapsed. The allies are In-
clined to buy as much as possible
from the countries that either are
helping them or where they have
more of an exchange privilege. Bar-
ter has even been talked of, In order
to avoid unequal trade balances.

One big trouble about the whole
thing Is fnaf the United States has
too large a per cent of the world’s
dock of gold We are insisting on Chamber of Commerce activities, but
foreign purchases being paid for In
cash, and we certainly would not
accept foreign money iri payment, so
that means continued shipments of
gold to this country, That would ap-
pear on the surface to he a very
favorable circumstance for us, but a
more far reaching view causes only
uneasiness for the future. Manifest-
ly, we cannot go on forever with
requiring that everybody pay us in
gold They could keep on doing that
Ho long as they had any gold, and
then wviat would we do? About the
only thing that describes this situa-
tion perfectly is a comparison with
