Almost every Industry will derive more or leas advantage American in vest*™ and bunkers should get in much profit from the ability to buy back from Kurope great quantities of securities at attractive prices in pay ment for the foodstuffs and raw ma terial exported from the United States "The United States can become as It has this week, the worlds greatest market for capital, and If the Ameri can people rise to their opportunity they can do a great deal to mitigate the disastrous economic consequences which would ntherwlss result in many countries from a great Kuropean war.

In brief a great war In Kurope will give the United States an opportunity of assuming the post of world bank er. by supplying capital freely to the rouwtrisa and Individuals In sll parts of the globe who need It and can pro vide the required security.

Enormous addi tional expense# have been Incurred by till the big offices, and the endurance of newspaper men in every branch of the work Is being strained to the ut most. Under the circumstance# it is little short of amazing that the Amer ican press, despite mailed fists and the stern opposition of the warring na tions to publicity, have been aide to print a# much real news as they have published. In addition tn this they have given all rumors, unconfirmed and unoffi cial statements as such and instead of misleading readers they have warned the public that some so-called news has been colored by governmental de cree a broad.

Why. cotton, of course. That Is the great American money crop, the world-beater, and the greatest Ameri can export crop. Cotton is the greatest agency and Ihe greatest stimulant of the world's commerce, when unfettered and the time* are normal, but Just now. pend ing the re-adjustment which must shortly come, there is no market for It and the cotton goods Industry Is paralysed. With the lines of trans portation taken off ami the cotton exchanges closed, the markets of the world are sealed against cotton.

This rich trade has hcen going to Kurope, but now, tn conse quence of the great Kuropean war. the transportation lines have been withdrawn and the accustomed chan nel* of trade Interrupted In going after the South American trade there Is an Important matter to be considered. International trade Is for the most part barter. We are not likely to sell to the South American countries unless we buy their prod ucts in return. We cannot hope to build up a trade with them untres we swap trade They will not find it to their Interest to become regular cus tomers when their entire bills hava to be met with coin The advantage that Kuropean coun tries have enjoyed arose from the fact that thetr takings of the agrteulturil •nd other products* of Brasil and A genltna were congtderahle and th* balance of trade was as likely to he with one partv as with the other (treat movements oi trade are gen erally tht result of some upheaval.
