New abroad The situation is improving. feeling in control are endeavoring maintain order with apparent suc- cess. There is still the probability of serious disturbances following the re- turn of large masses of soldiers who will have difficulty in finding needed emplovment. The great carcity of food is of itself suflicient to create a crisis, but the German people are es- sentially orderly in their habits and accustomed to submit to anything, so there is little fear of a repetition of the anarchy that exists in Ru. In the latter country there is a ray of hope in the assumption of a dictator- ship by Admiral Kolchak, who pos- se: a strong personality and may In Germany is quieting down those to be able to check the reign of terror | and restore some semblance of order in that distracted resion. Austria seems relatively quiet and the threats of uprising in Holland and other countries are subsiding. After such an upheaval the world cannot be ex- pected to return to sanity immediate- ly, but there are signs that Bolshe- vikism is on the wane and that more normal conditions arg approaching. What the world mcst needs is the in- creased production of necessities. It is idle to expect political quiet or so- cial advancement until food and shel- er are within reach of the millions of needy over in lurope. Tt is our duty as well as our interest to help the starving people of Burope. for there can he no lasting peace whiie such bitter poverty Demobiliz remains. tion of business has fair- Iy begun. As peace camy earlier than expected, neither the Government nor the country at large has any definite plans regulating this new movement such as Great Britain made months ago. As a result, we are slowly grop- ing along, and_there me danger tion in indust which might have been jrevented had ecarlier foresight been exercised. Our government, however, will probably control over industry very ¢, and thus avert serious con- sequences. Tt has been the principal buser of steel products, textiles, shoes, food, copper. wool and many other articles. Some of contracts will be completed: others will be reduced, and in mauy instances long deferred domestic orders will he used to fill the gap. Priority orders, except for railroads, ships and the mnavy, have ben cancelled; ikewise heavy orders for sheil-steel and wire. Recently orders for 1,500 locomotives, 40,000 ‘ars and 500,000 tons of mils for the American army in France were placed with home producers. These orders have been cancelled, and it remains to be seen whether domestic orders will develop sufficintly to fill this void, especially as the zovernment is hold- ing back crders for home railroads until steel prices reach a lower lev- : fortunately some relief will be found from the removal of war re- strictions upon Luildinz. which will in rel many pigeonhcled enter- 1 giving emnloyment to labor which otherwise might be thrown into idleness Tt is quite evident that the era of profits is ended. Some decline rtain 2>mmoedities mav therefore, < A few lines of cotton are already lower, and there is A general belief that commodities iched their high point and should hereafter decline to more nor- mal levels, which if not too rapid would stimulate consumption and aid in preserving a more natural and substantial degree of prosperity than was the case during the war. Com- modities, it is realized, are much in- flated. and bankers are alive to this situation and seeking to prevent dan zerous speculation by careful dis- crimination of credit. In one direc- tion, however, there is little prospect of lower prices, and that is in food. Mr. Hoover has already predicted high prices in this direction. We are blessed with an abundance of nearly 1 staple foods in this country, such s cercals, meats and vegetables: but large sections of Europe devastated by war are on the verge of famine, immense quantities must be shipped abroad to meet such needs. As long as this condition of approach famine lasts, no great decline in the price of food is possible. The most serious effects of indus- trial demobilization may fall upon 1 bor: for thousands will be discharged from the army and from government now that the necessity for mu- making is ended. Thousands more, who have been securing wages bevond all expectation in regular in- dustries, are also threatened with se goods fleet is to be held the peace » terms (C) Underwood & Underwood and | ing their jobs. Probably most of these men have saved little of their war work wages, and they will natur- ally be averse to accepting lower pay elsewhere. If these changes come gradually, discontent may be avoided: if they come suddenly and re-em- ployment is difficult, trouble may en- sue. The problem of finding employ- ment for those who gave up their Jjobs for the sake of securing war wages, is a serious one, and should have the earnest and early considera- ! tion .of both national and civil au- thorities. There is no doubt plenty of work waiting for workers; but the { task of bringing jobs and men togeth- jer in these times of dislocation will be most difficult. Trom now on there will be less complant as to the scarc- i ity of labor, vet there will be no im- mediately surplus; nor is it Hikely thar there will be any great reduction of wages, except in industries which can i no longer earn the exorbitant profits, out of which these ex ve wages came. Stock exchange activity duced to a minimum by of the money committee, intended to check inflation. For the same rea- son investment purchases have been npon a relatively =mall scale, in spite of the reviving tendency in this direc- tion. Sales were frequentily confined to about half a million shares daily, and the total since January 1 has been 125 million shares, compared with 170 millions at the same time last year. Bankers are also restrict- ing credit, and thee government has been reluctant to discontinue its con- trol of new issues through the Capi- tal Issues Committee: so that stock market activity is being discouraged upon all sides. Further weakness was exhibited in both war and peace in- dustrials; the price of twenty leading shares having now fallen from 89 on October 18, the 1918 high point, to about 83 at the present time. The twenty leading railroad stocks have on the other hand risen from 77.21 on January the high point in 1918, to about 90 at the present time. This advance has been due to the fact that the railroads are making an excellent record, it being estimated by the In- terstate Commerce Commission that the government will receive over 8,000,000 net from operation of the ailroads during the nine months ending October 1. This means that the government’s loss at the end of the year will be reduced to about $100,000,000. Experiments in gov- ernment operation are viewed with intense interest and more or less dis- trust. Government ownership of pub- lic utilities is becoming more and more of a public issue, the intro- duction in the senate this week of a bill favoring government ownership having intensified the question. It can be safely stated, however, that there is little chance of its consum- mation. Public opinion is far from ripe for such a step, and political tendencies show a decided drift against these policies and a disposi- tion to endure them only as war measur As advices market known, was re- restrictions quently pointed out in these uncertainty is not a favorable factor. Besides this, as Is it is handicapped at the present time by loan restrictions which prevent a new crop of buy- ors from taking the place of those Who are beginning to show some wearin over the market's non-re- covery and in consequence are Now chowing some disposition to reduce their lines. In this respect it is al- ways well to bear in mind thatitisa bad thing to get discouraged at the eleventh hour. jtuation is by no means indeed has many bright spots. it HENRY CLEWS BASKETBALL LEAGUE WILL PROVIDE SPORT Factory Teams Entered For Winter's Series at Y.
