WEALTH AND'DEBTS OF THE NATIONS The financial statistician of Commerce and Fi- nance has compiled some interesting figures, showing the wealth and debts of the leading na- tions of the world. i ; A study of these figures ought to give Amer- icans rather comfortable feeling when they :com- pare their lot with that of the citizens of other|: nations. The countries dealt with are the United States, Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Japan, Ger- many and Austria-Hungary. ; The estimated total wealth of all eight is a thousand billion dollars. The wealth. of’ the! United States is estimated at five hdndred billions, or exactly one-half the total. The total debts of the eight nations is two/ a hundred, and fifty-seven billion dollars, or more} hurts heal by first intention: So they say letters, than 25 per cent of their total wealth. ° The total debts of the seven nations other than the United States is two hundred and thirty-three billion dollars, or about 46 per cent of their total wealth. The total debt of the United States is, roughly, twenty-four billion dollars, or less than five \ cent of its total wealth. Ge The British debt is almost double ours—about 20 per cent of its wealth. France owes fifty-one billion dollars, 51 } per cent of its wealth. Italy: owes nearly twenty billions, about 50 per cent of its wealth. Russia owes about twenty-five-billions, 42 per cent of its wealth. The figures for Germany and Austria-Hun- gary seem almost incredible. The former's debt is 312 per cent of its and the latter’s 2710 per cent. pice Bankruptcy is a mild word to use in connection with the fimancial situation of Austria-Hungary. |Europe to jell.—New Republic. : Little Japan is the only nation in the lot in the same class with the United States. Although her national wealth is but forty billions, as com-| pared with our five hundred billions, her debt is less than two billions, slightly under ours in per- centage. xy \ GROW YOUR OWN FURS Fur farming is one of the odd industries gain- ing rapid headway in our country. About 10,000 silver foxes are being bred in captivity on 215 fox ranches, says a government report. Exact figures, however, are not obtainable, for many of the fox ranchers are afraid. to fill out the ques- tidhnaires sent them by the Bureau of Biological Survey, thinking it has something to do with a new tax. — ‘ Nearly every northern and western state has for ranches, and, our domesticated fox’ industry is now larger than Canada’s. With fur-bearing animals being rapidly killed off by trappers, another 50 or 100 years may see the United States raising the bulk of its fur in- side tall wire fences. Picture your great-great-grandson motoring into the country some afternoon to buy his wife a fresh fox or mink pelt, along with the usual eggs and hard cider. When a woman sets out to prove her superiority to rival she does not make herself plain. To avoid municipal jealousy, they might call her Galliin New York and Curci in Chicago. Could it be that some of these coal profiteers, too, are merely “borderland” defectives? Essa Habib, New York peddler, was arrested 80 times in a year. It’s almost a habit with Habib.

He does not rush at and, grapple with any trying, difficult, ‘complicated, complex and irtricate problem of disentangle-|' ment. He regards it with patience and gravity. He waits to see what will happen. He lets nature take its course for a while. Nothing is permanent in this disordered world, and many wounds “and if left unanswered long enough, will answer them- selves. It is one way of doing things and Mr. Harding seems to like it. Whatever its merits or demerits as a policy, it has brought for the pres- ent, at any rate, great repose to Washington. The same process holds good in cooking, I be- lieve. Things are put in a pot and the pot is put; on.a hot fire until it begins to boil 2nd bubble and threaten to run over and spill everything. At this | moment, says the discreet cook book, put the pot on the back of the stove and let it simmer. Then serve when ready garnished to suit the taste. This is precisely what Mr. Harding has done with the rancorous League controversy. He hasn’t the world vision.or any lust for world management. He hasn’t any recipe for curing sick Europe. Besides he has got enough chores| to do here at home to make his head ache when fell, in traffic cop, was one of her best friends he thinks of them.
