V-w YiTk l-ankofi at informal meet--i'i.js
wheie i ho K't:eial imlui-tnal and
tiiiiiiii i;tl ouiliH'k I'.as- beon const lerel
have taken poiion tl.at the un-
liorlviiK stiti1 t-f ih;!.ts is suKMantially
yui:d ana interviews to that effect have
Leen nia.ie puM.o. It is to be expected,
aevunliup to ihini, that thre will be an
vaing i f iiK!u from this time forward
as a result of qu illation which has
been eAectetl thus fur, although it is
freely ai'ur.ittt-ii that the relief to be
exptreieil will not be eat enough to
aftord a fuuiuiatton for an material en
largement of speculative or investment
activity. The ir.iproveiiier.t of the Fed
eral Reserve situation as illustrated in
the last statement is regarded as en
couraging nid only because of the
stronger ratio of g.-ld to outstanding
reserve obligations but also due to the
falling- off of deposits ami notes which
apparently indicates power of contrac
tion to an unexpected degree. The re
newal rate on call loans has pone rs
low at 1 per cent, a considerable im
provement over the rate which has ex
isted during- the last three weeks.
Meanwhile investment and develop
ment enterprises are making but little
headway and ate not likely to advance
very materially until prices assume a
more settled position. Many undertak
ings which had been contemplate?! up
to a short time ago have necessarily
been laid aside pending the arrival of
considerably quieter ami more normal
prospects in the general business field.
Foreign borrowers continue to be as
desirous of securing accomodation in
the United States as heretofore, al
though the rate of interest which is
being charged them is not materially
lower than that which has prevailed
heretofore. The most careful observ
ers have now set next spring as the ap
proximate time for revival and im
provement of business conditions.

Our War Debt Cut In Half.
When a fellow pays his income tax.
or excess profits tax, or pays a big; im
port tax on some nice fat luxury he is
getting from abroad, he at least has the
satisfaction of knowine that he is help
ing the country to reduce its big debt
rapidly and thus take that load, any
way, off of the back of our dear Miss
Prosperity.
Idd you know that nearly half of
America's war cost had already ben
paid? Exclusive of the ten billion dol
lars we baned the allies, the war cost
this country almost exactly 2 billions
of dollars- During the war and since,
13 2-8 billions have been paid off. You
and the rest of us have achieved this
ha'.'Kf.rne result by the taxes we paid
Nothirg can weigh down a country
like an inordinate public debt. This
nation now owes, including the ten bil
li'Tis the allies borowed from us, some
thing over 22 billions. If we can get
that down to five millions in the next
11 or 1' years, it wil not only be a fine
acr:r:;.!ihrnentt but it will be far bet
ter for the country and everybody in it.
On the oiher hand, the allies expect
to pay y interest on the ten billions
we loaned then. In case the rate of in-tce-t
is at least 5 per cent it might
be -.vp!1 for that part of the debt to re-
rrp'n f'-r a certain period. It's a good !
thing to be a creditor country and we j the unquiet grave, who now occupied
sho;':ri r-M be carrying- the cost of that i the throne, would be seized with a vio-

Quaint Legend of Old Japan
Basis of "The Willow Tree"
Itoyal Headache Besrlne and Nipponese
Maiden's Sacrifice Bads Story in
Which Viola Dana Is Starred.
Viola Tana, the dainty star of "The
Willow Tree." the new Screen Classic,
Inc.. production, was told recently the
legend on which the delightful fantasy
by J. H. r.enrimo and Harrison Rhodes
was founded. George Shimamoto, the
landscape gardener of the Metro studios
and a Japanese himself, was Miss
Dana's informant, and the tale had to
do with how the headache of an ancient
emperor of Japan caused thousands of
temples to be erected to Buddha, as a
piopitiatory offering for having caused
the destruction of a certain willow
tree.
The legend has been handed down by
.Inpanese priests, according to Mr.
Shimamoto, who recount the story of
an emperor who died and was burled,
:ind how the roots of the willow tree
near his grave mingled with his skele
eton. The willow tree was of enormous
aize, and whenever the wind blew hard
it would moan and tremble like a liv
ing man. The trembling would then
become so great as to reach ,down Into
the very roots of the tree or perhaps
it originated at the roots and reached

lent headache, from which there was
no surcease until the wind stopped
blowing and the tree became still.
The condition of things continued,
much t the distress and mystification
of the sovereign and his subjects, until
one day a fortune teller was consulted,
who offered an explanation. The occult
one at once connected the moaning and
trembling of the willow tree with the
emperor's headache, and the emperor
ordered that the tree be cut down at
once.
A girl, however, named Ahdu, had
