(Spécial to the Herald.) New York, May 29,—Escape from | the injurious effects of -Europe's Ar- mageddon is impossible. Whether we like to make the admission or not, American business affairs are domin- ated by this terrible cataclysm more than by any other single influence. | efit in some respects as.long as we position of neutarlity and isolation. The manuafcture of implements of destruction on such-a vast scale as is now going on in this country is depressing and not in- spiring. Nevertheless, war materials must he bad; and the more readily they are supplied the quicker will the contestants either come to their senses or be exhausted. Theé output of mili- tary supplies, particularly ammunig | tion, in the United States is fllmp“ appalling, and must run into the hundreds of millions; some estimates | being as high as $500,000,000 al- though many of the . published amounts are undoubtedly exaggerated | by duplication. In consequence of | these orders our exports continue to | expand tremendously, and shipments | on account of recent orders will Dbe | much heavier, in the summer and au- tumn than now. Our imports mean- time have suffered a material con- traction, so that one ‘of our leading Government officials has been led to state that the current fiscal year will ghow an excess of about a billion dol- | lars in exports. Such a huge balance can be adjusted in several ways, by | gold imports, by merchandise im- ports, by security imports or by graift- ing credits until any or all of these means of settlement are available. we do not need; our present supply being $1,890,000,000, which is unde- sirably large. Merchandise imporis | are and will be inevitably restrained by stoppage of °production abroad. Security imports are not probable oiv a large scale under present’ condi- tions. The granting of credits to foreign nations has already been very extensive and promises to continue in- | definitely. maintain our England Financing War. This war, which will cost Europe untold billions, not to speak of in-|© calculable human misery, is being principally financed by England, whose financial resources are proving vastly beyond all possible expecta- tions. In addition to her own huge outlays, she has made enormous loans to the Allies, France, Russia and Bel- | gium, without as yet showing lhe; least sign of undue strain. In all probability she has loaned big sums | to Italy, and Rumania if she enters | the war may ~ soon be asking for | needed loans which Germany has ! refused. London exchange is selling at a very smaller discount than that i of any other financial center in Eu- | rope. London will thus have i | little | to spare for ordinary investments, and the world wiH be compelled to turn to New York as the only importnat | financial center free to finance war | or mot at its pleasure. As a matter | of fact, we are already giving the | belligerents very material financial | aid. Important credits have been granted to the allies, much if not all of which is being expensdled here in munitions of war. Facing New Era i Our banking system not only m-‘ creases our financial resources and ;| enables us to meet emergencies at home, but it.places us on the high | plane in international finance to which we are now fully entitled. It is not | only steadying and equalizing money | rates at home, but it is already [nul- | itating the entrance of the Amecrican | banker into foreign enterprtses, the fruit of which in due season Wwill be | a large growth in foreigm orders for American producers. When the war | is over, our opportunity will be more | apparent than now. As a people we | have not yvet realized the great op- portunities which this awful struggle | will open to America. In reality we are facing a new era. Some of the Ereatest nations of the world will have | to endure a considerable period = of economic exhaustiion. When peace comes, Europe will be obliged to look outside for supplies, and nowhere will they be more accessible than here. | Agricultural crops, animal as well as vegetable, will be impaired through- out Burope for one and perhaps two years. We must partly fill the void. Europe's factories will he unable to satisfy demands, because many miils are destroved and the supply of skilled labor will be largely reduced. Europe’s savings will be greatly di- minighed or absorbed in local recon- struction, and we will be obliged to largely meet the demands for new | capital. No such opportunity for American enterprise and expansion ! has been offered in this generation. | South America, which has always de- pended upon Europe, is already look- ing for closer commercial relations with.the Unitea States in order to | offset the rupture in her trade with Europe. When peace does come, it will Involve not only important changes in boundaries, but also fur- ther vital changes in' international trade. New tariffs will be devised; new lines of discrimination will be surely drawn between present belli- gerents, and perhaps entirely be- yond recovery. No country stands to lose less from these deep-seated de- rangements than the United States, and no country is béter prepared to take legitimate advantage of the new situation than the United States, No New Tendencies.

Mr. Hedding carly be- came interested in boxing and other manly sports, and while studying law | at the University of Wisconsin was known as a star baseball and basket- | ball player.
