THE END OF THE STORM
Lawyers are always appreciative of
•ffective figures of speech. One which
struck us as being very effective, and
in which the analogies are as logical
as they are encouraging, appeared in
a recent editorial in the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. We quote:
“A great storm does not cmoe to an
end instantly. After the thunders
cease, and even after the winds are
stilled, the waves continue to beat the
shores furiously. It is so with the
great conflicts among men. The thun
ders of colossal war stopped on Nov.
11, 1918, but the surge of the forces
it had created could not be checked
by an armistice. The year just closed
jfcfcS been a trying one for mankind.
The normal processes of civilization
bad been violently disturbed. New
currents had set in, creating danger
ous whirlpools. The blackness of
night had lifted, but heavy clouds re
gained. The winds still blew in un
certain and conflicting directions.
Bquilibrium was lost and action and
reaction battled for its restoration.
But every storm must have its end;
every tempest must subside. Equili
brium is the normal state of nature,
aud whenever and however it is dis
turbed, the balancing forces surely
rally for its re-establishment and in
evitably the calm succeeds.
“Slowly, gradually, but with abso
lute certainty, the equilibrium of man
kind is being restored. It is not easy
to realize this when we look abroad
upon the world today, for unrest is
•till manifest, and we are yet bewil
ieerd by the conditions and the prob
lems that we face. But if we look
back a year we can see that progress
bad been made toward subsidence of
the waves. Conditions are still con
fused and complicated, but chaos no
longer reigns. The elements and the
powers of order are becoming again
dominant. Definite form is begin
*ing to emerge. Great problems are
approaching solution. Anarchy is
consuming itself. Physical necessi
ties are compelling the return of sta
bility, the increase of labor, and the
dissipation of hallucinations. Work,
the panacea of all ills, is applying
its balm to the wounds of war. The
griefs and hates are being softened
by the soothing hands of time.
Slowly, haltingly, with difficulty but
surely, humanity is finding the solid
ground of Ararat.”
MORE CREDIT—LESS GOODS
It is the view of the Federal Re
serve board that the need of Europe
is for long credits, and that the situ
ation, therefore, is one which appeals
to the investment market. Many of
the problems which now confront
European countries are present in an
aeute form in this country, and there
is a great need for larger produc
tion, reduced consumption, more econ
omy and thrift. The liquid wealth of
the worldx as represented by goods
a.nd commodities has been reduced to
am alarming extent by reason of the
war, and the volume of credit through
out the world is out of all proportion
t© the volume of goods. In order to
bring about more normal conditions it
will be necessary to restore the proper
balance between credits and goods.
This process will necessarily be a
slow one, but it is essential that a be
ginning should be made and the res
toration can be made only by rigid
application of the principle of work
amd save.—W. P. G. Harding, governor
©f the Federal Reserve board, in The
Nation’s Business.
OIL AT HULL
•overnment war-time control of the
British vegetable oil industry worked
i very well. The war also increased the
importance of the industry. The con
sumption of margarine instead of but
ter, for instance, increased rapidly.
The demand soon exceeded the sup
ply, and margarine was rationed. Oil
cake for cattle food, glycerin for ex
plosives, castor oil for airplane en
gine lubrication, also increased the
calls on the industry.
Where Germany and the Nether
lands formerly crushed British West
African oil, England now has taken
over that process. Hull has become
the largest vegetable oil center in
Europe. Production in England of
palm-kernel and ground-nut oils has
octupled and the margarine output
has increased to 6,000 tons a week.
The industry appears to be firmly
established.
UNITED STATES AND ,
CANADA TO ERECT
HUGE PEACE ARCH
BLAINE, Wash., Feb. 3 (by Associ
ated Press).—The erection of a huge
memorial arch on the international
boundary here, to commemorate the
century of peace between Canada and
the United States, is being urged by
good roads men of Washington and
British Columbia.
Tentative plans call for the erection
of the arch in a big park to be estab
lished on the Pacific highway on both
sides of the boundary. The city of
Blaine is willing to purchase the
American share of the park if the
British Columbia parliament will buy
the Canadian side.
Samuel Hill of Seattle, president of
the Pacific Highway Association, is
leading the movement for the arch.
Recently Mr. Hill and several Wash
ington and British Columbia good
roads men asked Premier John Ol-i
ver of British Columbia to aid in
promoting the project. Mr. Oliver
promised to consider the matter.
MINERAL DEPOSITS ON
VANCOUVER ISLAND
VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 13 (by
Associated Press).—What may prove
to be one of British Columbia's great
est mineral-producing fields has been
discovered, experts here believe, in
the Strathcona park and Butler’s lake
districts, in the center of Vancouver
island.
Prospectors and examining engi
neers who haye been investigating
the field for the past year have found
heavy copper deposits, together with
gold, silver and lead, in good quanti
ties, it was reported here. Fifty
elaims have been staked, and most of
the land in the district has been taken,
it was said.
