FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
The depreciation in foreign ex
change is not due merely to the
heavy trade balance, declares the
National Bank of Commerce of
New York in the December issue
of its magazine. Commerce Month
ly. It is also due to the fact that
foreign moneys are depreciated at
home. The gold standard has been
suspended in most European coun
tries, and the money is merely irre
deemable paper. No normal ex
change can be expected until the ;
gold standard is restored.
“How far the exchange rates will
fall, when they will recover, how j
rapidly they will recover—these are j
questions to which no one can give j
confident answers,” the bank says, i
“It is the general expectation that
so long as the heavy excess of
imports over exports continues for
the European countries, their ex
change will go lower. On the other
hand, there are some observers who
express the opinion that much of
this has already been discounted in
the existing exchange rates by short
selling, and that the demand from
these short sellers themselves will
take up the new supply of foreign ;
exchange growing out of the ex-1
ports for a considerable period, j
Other observers, however, maintain !
that the genera! tendency of spccu-1
lation has been bullish rather than j
bearish. This view is strongly but- ,
tressed by statistical arguments; the
long time loans to Europe in the j
past year fall far short of the bal- I
ance of Europe’s current debt to
the outside world, and speculation
of one kind or another must have |
absorbed the difference, either by;
buying exchange, or by letting bal- i
anccs accumulate in European '
banks, or by withholding exchange
from the market, and allowing ‘open
accounts’ to run. There would thus j
be an enormous \olume of exchange;
hanging over the market. Definite j
prediction is dangerous where so i
many uncertainties exist."
THE PRICE OF NEWSPAPERS.
I
The Cordova Times intimates
that it may have to raise its sub
scription price. The Anchorage
Times and the Seward Gateway re
cently raised their rates. In doing
this, comments the Alaska Daily:
Empire (Juneau), they are only;
doing what the papers of the large!
cities have been forced to do. Be
fore the war the Seattle Times de
livered the paper for 50 cents a
month or $5 a year. At that time,
on account of their greater propor
tional expense and smaller editions,
the Alaska papers were charging $1:
a month or $10 a year. Now the!
Seattle Times is sold for $1.50 a!
month or $18 a year. The propor-j
tional expense and smaller editions
Still operate against the Alaska pa
pers as they did before the war.
Most of the metropolitan papers
have increased their subscription
rates from 100 to 300 or 400 per
cent. The Alaska papers which i
have raised at all have done so only
25 percent

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.—
Secretary of War Baker has in
formed Congress that it will be nec
essary for the United States to
funish military supplies to Poland i
a aid that country to check the
westward advance of the Bolshe
riki.
In this connection, General Bliss,!
former member of the shipment and
nilitary council, informed the house |
ways and means committee this j
week that unless Poland could check
he Bolshevik armies there probably
would be a general revival of war
n Europe, with the prospect of
nany years of bloodshed, rivaling
;he great world war.

GOTHAM REMOVING

NEW YORK.—The war is over
for New Y'ork. Workmen are now
pulling down the great white “Vic

34d street, erected that America's
victorious legions returning from
France might march beneath it in
triumph. The “Welcome to Our Re
turning Soldiers” signs are being
removed from the municipal build
ings. Orders have been given for
the removal from the parks of the
many “Welfare Huts” and other
temporary edifices erected by sol
dier welfare organizations.

10 AID LEADERS
TO Gratis
NEW YORK.—Education of un
ion labor men, both leaders anc
rank and file, is one of the principa
aims of the Associated Teachers
union, local 71, of the Americar
Federation of Teachers, which i:
just organizing in the faculties ol
the colleges and schools of New
i York. The Teachers’ federation is
1 affiliated with the American Feder
ation of Labor.
Prof. Herman Defrem, of Co
lumbia university, who is presidenl
jof the Associated Teachers’ union,
says the union professors and school
teachers are not going into the labor
movement merely for what they can
get out of it for themselves. In
stead they plan to help their new
associates in the Federation of La
bor along the path of knowledge.
They hope, by opening special
night courses for labor leaders in
economics, management and produc
tion problems and kindred subjects,
to develop a new type of leader
who will co-operate in managing in
dustries instead of spending his
time, as Prof. Defrem says, “bick
ering with employers.” Under aus
pices of the Teachers’ union two
other sets of classes will be insti
tutted, evening classes, in English,
history, economics, and any other
subjects which wage-earners in gen
eral may desire to pursue, and day
courses for men on strike, so that
their time may not be wasted.
The union teachers are in con
ference with the United Labor Edu
cation committee on details. British
universities some time ago em
barked upon a program of educa
tion designed particularly for wage
earners, but the idea has not made
much progress in this country.
Higher wages for themselves,
said Prof. Defrem, is only a sec
ondary aim of the educators. “We
need more money, but our first two
aims are the democratization of col
leges and universities and the ex
tension of the tenure of our of
fice.” Democratization, according to
Prof. Defrem, means surrender of
the administration of educational in
stitutions to the faculties, only fin
ancial problems being left to the
decision of boards of trustees. The
union aim will be the election of
teachers, heads of departments,
deans and other officials by the
teachers themselves on a democratic
ballot system, and settlement of
educational problems by the same
method.
Tenure of office of the college in
structor and assistant professor
would no longer be from year to
year, dependent upon the action of
administrative officials, but would
also be based upon the ballot, the
term of the teacher continuing as
long as his colleagues considered
him efficient.
