"Financial journals and the great
financial houses are preparing th
business world for the changed con

trade that will follow the conclusion
of peace, due to our having become
s creditor nation with respect to Eu

fact that our oport9 must finally
be paid for by Imports of commodi

freedom of export there must be a
corresponding freedom of its port and
mutual prosperity among nations.
In this connection the long-standing
fallacy of the favoiabl balance of
trade is assailed. So long as the
United States was a debtor nation

canceled. Transfers to America of
gold from Europe will satisfy only
the smallest fraction of the obliga

"The situation calls fr a consid
erable revision of America's ideas of
trade. Those who would hedge the
nation around with tariffs designed
to limit imports as much as possible
must also be prepared to have the
nation limit its exports correspond

"America, however, need have no

The above Is in line with the fa-
vonte arguments of the free traders.
Itat it mast le remembered that
the most important market In the
world is the horaemarket of the
United States, it cannot be kept
great without a prosperous people;
without wage earners with employ

And our wage earner must have
protection from the products of the

The protective tariff must be In

to preempt unoccupied and waste
lands is acted upon iavoraoiy by
congress. The bill includes in its
scope lands owned privately but not
cultivated though suitable for culti
vation. A statement of the measure
prepared by Senator McNary outlines
be bill In the following language:
"The bill provides for a method
of assisting in the demobilization of
th anuei forces of the United States
and is the first bill upon the sub
ject, which, in a broad and compre
hensive manner, provides for carry
ing out the purposes intended by
some other bills now pending. At
the close of the war there necessari
ly roust be a readjustment of the la
bor conditions, and means of em
ployment and occupation must be
provided for the millions who will
eturn ti the i nlted states, iiy sud
denly being drafted Into the war they
were taken from their occupations
and homes and their places filled by
others.
At the close of the Civil war the
government had millions of acres or
unoccupied lands. The government,
appreciating the services of those en-
ied In h war. extended special
nrlTilges in the way of making homes
and providing individual employment
for the millions of her soldiers wno
found themselves without an occupa
tion with which to earn a livelihood.
Partly o meet these conditions tne
homestead, preemption and other
tmblic land laws were enacted, in-
less some action is taren aiong tne

have introduced, the close of this

been taken and which wm require

tlvation.
"The cost of reclaiming these lands
as far as private capital is concerned,
is as impractical as would have been
an attempt to carry on a war between
this and other countries with private
or corporate capital. But this gov
ernment may do so without financial
loss, and by so doing win not only
provide new means of in come with
which to pay off the debt incurred by
the present war. but furnish homes
for millions of returned soldiers and
enhance the value of property. It
will also Institute a system of pen
sions for those who voluntarily or
involntar'ly risked their live in de

ment throughout the world.
The bill makes no distinction with
respect to sex. It recognises that the

work under the authority of the war

would be paid annually; 1 1-2 per

bonds, owners are being urged by the!
treasury to have their coupon bonds
registered, although the procedure
I result in a great amount of work
i ond expense for the government now
that the number of bond owners runs
above thirty millions. The registra
tion can be arranged at uoft banks,
and is done without any cost to the
owner. After registration if a bond
is accidentally lost, stolen or des
troyed, the government will pay it
at maturity Just the same, and In
terest checks will be mailed to the
bond owner twice a year without re
quiring him to go the trouble of clip
ping coupons and presenting fbem at
the bank.
'The fact that bonds -of the first
liberty loan or bonds of 'the second
liuertloan are converted into bonds
bearing a higher rate of Interest does
not affect the dates on which Interest
Is payable.' explains a treasury an

first loan, regardless of whether Jhey
have been converted, on June IS. and
December 15; on bocds of second
loan. May IS and November 15;
third loan. March 15 and September
15; fourth loan, April 15 and October
15.
The treasury also explains that
owing to the mechanical difficulties
of preparing millions of Interest
checks on registered bonds, coupon
bonds will not be exchanged for reg
istered bonds or registered bonds
transferred on the books from one
owner to another, during a month be

This arrangement Is explained by
the treasury as follows:
