Portland seems to be having its difficulties with stamped scrip
for the same reasons that the stamp idea was abandoned here.
The necessity of putting a stamp on each piece of scrip with each
purchase would certainly tend to slow up the movement of it not
so much because of the actual burden of the cost of the stamps as
the unhandiness of the transfer. Portland merchants should be
able to absorb a large quantity of scrip if they chose to do so and
had the proper confidence in the issue. Here scrip is working
well because all merchants are cooperating, the issue was small
and it is well secured. Some of it has already * been redeem-

It is certainly time that some leader in some nation made a
move toward peace and it must be gratifying to most Americans
that our country produced that leader. To agree that no nation
should send troops without its own boundries without incurring
the ill will of other nations may be a necessary step. We will
however, have reached a safer condition when no nation is allow*
ed to, or wants to, keep armies large enough to start a war of
aggression.
