The experts tell us that the disturb- | ance resulted from an earthquake which violently displaced the sea-bottom some- where near the Aleutian islands. This re- minds us that the old earth, far from be- ing as stable as we usually suppose, con- tinues the processes of nature. To, what end, we do not yet know, : Estimates of the speed with which the wave moved suggest that it travelled at a speed between 400'and 500 miles an hour. At some points those who observed the phenomenon assert. that the water receded at first but that the recession was follewed by a tremendous inflow of water. The tidal wave is a frequent com- panion of violent earthquakes. In some in- stances there is a withdrawal of the water, such as reported, witha later return of a giant wave. In others the withdrawal is not present, but a huge wave overflows the coast. Experts say that the slow withdrawal of the water indicates that the sea bottom | has sunk, as a result of the earthquake, and that the water rushes in to fill the de- pression. The meeting of the water at the centre raises a ridge which collapses to send ashore the first great wave. One of the greatest tidal. waves ever recorded followed the explosion of a vol-- cano on the island of Krakatoa, between Sumatra and Java, in 1883. About, half the island, which measured twelve square miles, including the highest mountain, was blown away. This explosion was caused by water seeping through fissures and coming into contact with the red-hot voleano, causing what ranks as the great- est steam explosion in the history of the world.

S.-Export-Import Bank and | the World Bank have all’ been established | to equalize and stabilize the: money mar- | kets of the World. The United States has put up most of the money. Nevertheless Great Britain has been making a red-hot | campaign in behalf of its efforts to secure | a loan of nearly 4 billion dollars from the United States. Italy seeks close to a billion from the United States; Frances wants 5 billion; China, 2 billion, and “believe it or not,”” Russia wants 1 billion from the Ex- port-Import Bank which is a drop from her original notion that she wanted 6 billion dollars. If you have followed the record of our financial affairs with these different nations, or even seen the March of Time in the movies you will remember that we filled everybody’s ships with war, ma- ehines, arms and ammunition. Neverthe- eles’the nations want more money, and all the fogd that can be taken away from the Ameriéan people. Oh, yes you feel sorry for them. That’s all right provided you don’t fail to be still more sorrowful for the United States and everybody in this country who pay taxes.
