Traces Dollar’s Course, Mr. Bell addressed members of the Legion and the Legion auxiliary in joint meeting following the separate business meeting of each. His’ ad- dress was one of a series of address- es local citizens have been invited to make as a part of the winter’s pro- gram of thé Legion. The “Rise and Fall of the Dollar” was discussed by Mr. Bell, who went into the causes of inflation and the subsequent violent deflation. Anyth.ng that cuts.across the or- dindry; placed current of business: is likely to cause trouble, he said. War, no matter how justifiable, is uneco- | nomic, because it destroys, The speak- er described the effect of the entrance of America in the war on the normal channels of financial and business lfe. Twenty-five billion dollars of} Liberty Bonds were issued during the war. The government, usually con- servative in finances, had become the greatest borrower of money. Uncle Sam suddenly became thes greatest employer, with 4,000,000 men in his service, The fiormal saving capacity of the country, Mr. Bell said, is said to be about $6,000,000,000 annually, This would be $12,000,000 in two years, and in two years the government issued 25,000,000 of bonds. A fabric of credit was built up through borrowing, be-j ginning with the individual and con- tinuing to the Federal Reserve sys- tem, “an inverted pyramid,” the speaker described it, which led to the inflation. ? Expansion of Foreign Trade, Mr. Bell referred to business con-} flitions immediately following the! war. In 1919 our foreign trade reached the astounding sum of $8,- 000,000,000, he said. European coun- tries spent great sums in this coun-| try, money largely which was obtain-! ed for war purposes from loans from} this country. It was apparent, he said, that spending of two or three, pillion dollars for peace purposes greatly stimulated the after-war in- Inflation was felt in all lines. Prices | for agricultural products rose and the} price of land rose too rapidly, cre-| ating an unwholesome condition. Merchants needed\greater stocks to MILITARY PLAN IS PERFECTED Estimate, That 16,000 Officers Are Needed Washington, Jan. 26.—Study of the ‘Miltary establishment just’ complet- ed by the general staff has resulted in the decision that 16,652 commis- sioned officers will be needed for ul- timate requirements when the regu- lar service is’ fully officered in each grade, the national guard is perfected under federal regulations and the or- ganized reserves are finally complet- ed, while the estimated number to July 1 next year ig fixed at 13,000. A summary of the ultimate re- uirements by branches shows that 2.521 officers will be needed for ad- rinistrative functions essential to ef- ‘ective mobil-zation. For the educa- tional system for professional devel- opment of officers and enlisted men specialists, 2260 are required; for duty with’the national guard, organ- ized reserves, training centers and reserve officers training, 3,344 are needed and for duty with the regular army in the United States, immediate- ly available for an emergency, 5,063.

British troops, the message adds, quelled the insurrection. Thus far no confirma- tion or denial of the Rome report has reached London, Women Have Little Say ~ In Russian Politics Moscow, Jan. 26.—Madame Alexan- dra Kollanty, one of the leaders of the (Russian feminist movement charges, in an article she has written in the Pravda, that petty bourgeoisie narrowness and superstition are pre- venting women having the voice they merit in the Soviet government. She says that no woman was a vot- ing delegate at the Communist con- ference preceding the Ninth All-Rus- sian Soviet Congress held here and that only 24 women were included dustrial _hoom, lamong the 2,000 voters at the congress, despite the fact that 50 per cent of Russian voters are women.
