SURPRISE TO RED CROSS WORKERS Orders have been issued to local Red Cross Chapters that the sociol service and local relief end of the work must cease according to the letter of Mabel Boardman, head of the organization. If local Red Cross chapters continue to demand funds for routine local servce Miss Board-

man declared, the organization will find itself impotent when crisis like the Smyrna disaster arise, because the public will be unwilling to subscribe additional funds. Other agencies,

she said, exist to handle social service work.

Approval was voiced by Mrs. August Belmont, of New York, another Red Cross leader, "If crippled nationally in our finances, we cannot raise our heads and say what we are going to do in case of great disaster. We must have money in the national treasury "

cheap money. Thomas A. Edison goes so far as to say that it will at least make export trade more profitable. He would discard the gold standard and substitute currency based only on "the faith, promise ajid wealth Cf the country." In other words, he would return to "fiat" money of which this country had enough in Civil war times. However fluctuating gold and silver tendency was downward, until the dollar was worth but a few cents. What was America's experia a a a a a a a

week purchasing 1,292 German marks. It was in Germany that the imported china dinner set was made, and it is German pottery workers that earn about one-third what American pottery

workers earn. German pottery wcrkeYs are able to have meat once a week. American workers would not be content with such limited diet. Besides Ford and Edison there are a few other advocates of cheap money men prominent in production that enters into foreign trade. All

j may be honest in their idea of pledging the

wealth of the country for the redemption of promises to pay. America has great wealth but it belongs to individuals not to the nation as a whole except for purposes of taxation. In a way America's wealth is today pledged for the war obligations of the government, but not in such a way as it can be "taken" to redeem promises to pay, except when there is refusal to py taxesThe United States owns neither railroads nor mines as Germany does but it is to be noted that Germany has pledged neither her railroads, the Ruhr mines, nor the national forests to redeem her paper marks the mark might be worth more if she hadjthough pledging these mines and lorests would hot have stabilized its value. But the United States, representing the people, does own all the gold now in the treasury on which American currency is predicated, so does the Bank ot England as the agent of t'.c British people own the gold it holds. The American dollar and the British pound are the two monetary units in the whole world that are worth today nearest their face value. Indeed, the American dollar is the standard of currency the world over. The British pound once was, but, with the accumulation of gold in the United States treasury and the gaining of the balance in world trade, together with the war obligations of foreign countries to this nation, the United States succeeded Britain as the world' banker, and now practically dictates exchange rates. American gold is wanted in every forcountry where industrial revival is necessary, yet investment would be perilous so long as chsap money rules in them. This is why American investments are not being made abroad, though

EVILS OF CHEAP MONEY When the ways and means committee of tne house was framing the tariff bill it was given a concrete illustration of what cheap money means to a people. The committee was shown a 100piece dinner set imported at $21.50 . The commtttee was also shown an American made set of equal quality, the manufacture's price for which was $70, or more than three times the importing price of the foreign-made ware. A member of the committee did a little figuring and remarked that the difference in price was just about equal to the difference in the value of

the money of the two countries, reckoning the American were never better able to make them.

American dollar and the foreign money at ex- American bankers have been in Europe studychange rates. He did a little more figuring and ing the situation, and invariably have returned

concluded that the American pottery worker lived just thre times as well as the foreign workerCheap money means cheap living. This episode from the records of the ways and means committee is cited because it points danger to the workingman from the cheap money propaganda that is now claiming his attention. The congressman's' observations are particularly applicable to wage earners employed on standardized products. Back of this cheap money propaganda stands Henry Ford whose standardization of automobile making has enabled him to produce a low-priced car. He wants still further to reduce price, so, while he holds out shorter hours and bigger wages, he preaches cheaper money because his costs will be smaller, enabling him to sell more cheaply here and take greater advantage of exchange rates in export trade. Ford is a wizard in automobile manufacturing but his financial wizardy should be carefully watched by the working man. Ford is not spending good American dollars for cheap money propaganda without expecting returns to come from it. Ford is by no means the -only advocate of

advising Americans to help Europe to come to

its financial senses and give value to its currencies. At any rate, the cheap money propaganda should not be allowed to bring down American standards because Europe cannot or will not bring its standard up. It's easier to tear down than it is to build up. This the American peoshake themselves loose from the tentacles of pie will know, for it took years for them to greenbackism and the 16 to 1 doctrines of Bryan Far better will it be for capitalist and wageearner alike to do whatever may be necessary to preserve the value of the American dollarand increase that value until the dollar is worth' one hundred cents, than to get down to Europe's level of currency and standards through the cheapening of the American dollar.

FIGURES FROM the internal revenue department show that in the United States, every month, more than 6,000,000,000 cigaretes are smoked. Lady Nicotine should be careful, lest some day she find herself paired with John Barleycorn.

Electrifying- the Home. Adequate "convenience outlets" make all the difference in the world in the layout of a modern home. Electric service is a boon no matter where and how it is used. It promotes health by saving drudgery, it furnishes comfort by saving in

convenience.

Proportionally speaking, electric wiring is the least of the home builder's expenses, and skimping it seems on a par with the sailor who spoiled his whole ship for the sake of a pennyworth of tar.
