Two other fire-proof buildings on Main street are contemplated for early spring building, but details are not far enough advanced to be made publiclone Independent, By ROBERT E- SMITH, President Lumbermens Trust Co. Bank, Portland, Ore. The education of a great body of people such as compose the American public to a viewpoint opposite that which is theirs by nature must of necessity be a alow process; but gradually and inevitably the Ameri can people are coming to the realiza tion that the welfare of our country Inextricably boun" up with that of the other countri of the world that we are not self-sufficient. Econ omic collapse and financial ruin in Europe will mean depression and re sultant turmoil, loss and suffering In this country. Any help which we give in settling Europe's problems will be given for purely selfish rea sons. But, though the premiers' conference disbanded without accom plishing anything and though France's troops are mobilized ready to ad vance into the Ruhr regions, we have so far done nothing. However, it is of course impossible that the public be given knowledge of what Is going on under the veil of diplomatic se crecy, and before this is published some decisive step may have been taken. In a commercial way, our record of achievement in 1922 may be pointed to with pride, and the majority of business men are looking forward to 1923, especially the earlier part of the year, with hopefulness. The mem ory of the sudden ending of the per iod of prosperity just preceding this makes for caution and conservatism in predicting or preparing for any long period of prosperity, at least until world-wide conditions are sta bilized. This feeling has caused man ufacturers, jobbers and merchants to operate throughout the past year on a hand-to-mouth basis, keeping their stocks as small as possible. Actual consumption of goods at present how ever, is enormous. The huge total of holiday purchases proves this. With the country's capacity for consump tion unabated and even augmented and with merchants' stocks low and their outstanding orders small, it would seem that merchants must call on wholesale jobbers and manufac turers for large quantities of goods during the next few months. Inas much as manufacturers Btocks, too, are uniformly email, this will result in a high rate of manufacturing activity. Exceptional building activity mark ed the year 1922. Many projects which were postponed during the time of extremely high construction costs were started during the year, and the industry promises to continue at high speed during the spring. How much impetus this boom gave to other in dustries cannot of course be estimat ed but it must have been consider able. The construction has not been limited to factories and business buildings alone, but many residences and homes have been built, too, and that in itself is a healthy sign. The increase in business activity, some increase in confidence and high er commodity prices have brought about a change in the credit situation during the past year. At the begin ning of 1922, even though at that time business had begun to improve, the volume of bank loans was still de clinine and interest rates were fall ing. For a year interset rates had been steadily declining; in fact, the decline did not end until midsummer of the year 1922, when credit liqui dntion came to an end. In August money rates began to strengthen and bond prices began their correspond ing decline late in September. The end of the year found money rates firm and higher than in midsummer, though not high enough to affect business adversely or indeed to cause any apprehension. The credit sources of the country were in no way strained by the increased volume of business during the year. While some demand was made on the Fed eral Reserve System by member banks for the financing of loans, re discounts have never assumed more than moderate proportions, and there is still ample credit in both the Sys tem and the Banks themselves for the requirements of business during the coming months. Business prosperity for 1923 is of course contingent upon numerous factors, among which the clearing up of the foreign situation is most important. There is no doubt tnat the sound condition of the country's banking situation is one of the fea tures which make most for optimism in the whole situation. The Bond Market. The future of the bond market Is bound up in the future of general business and dependent upon it. But enme what will, it is hardly likely that the bond record of 1922 will be duplicated, when a total of more than $1,000,000,000 of new corporation and foreign bonds was Issued, of which I fully 80 per cent was new capital. It cannot be expected, either, that the sutnining advance which was the attire of the 1922 market, when an average rise of $15 on the $100 was registered by corporation securities, can be duplicated. Previous to this sensationnl advance the prices of se curities, as a result of severe busi ness depression, had depreciated far below their real value as permanent investments, and with the Improve ment of business the rebound was in evitable. It was greatly assisted by the liquidation by banks of their "froxen credits" and the resultant money in their vaults seeking em ployment. Federal Reserve figures show that 782 member banks on De cember 20, 1922, held $1,201,000,000 more Investment securities than they reported on the corresponding date of 192L The January investment market Is interesting. At the end of the year dividends and interest are disbursed and seek investment. At this time of yenr Just after Christmas, there is usually a seasonal lull in business and money rates experience a nor mal recession. These factors tend to re vivo the investment securities mar ket. The bids for the long-pending Cu ban government bond issue of $50,- 000,000 will he opened on January 12. An emission of $((0,000,000 pre ferred stock by Armour A Company of Delaware the first of the year found a ready sale. The stock is seven per cent Issue, and the pro ceeds will be applied to redemption of debenture bonds and notes of the parent corporation outstanding In an amount of $03,700,000, It is expect ed that Inter a new Dutch East Indies loan will be announced by bankers, and a new Congo loan guaranteed by the Belgian government ia also on the horizon. Locally, the Lumbermens Trust Co. has purchased from the Willamette Iron A Steel Works of fortiana us entire $700,000 issue of serial six per cent gold bonds which mature in from five to twenty years. These bonds constitute a first mortgage on all the company's fixed assets and retail at oar. That this is an unusually nign- grade bond is evidenced by the rapid- ty with which the issue is selling. Building in 1923 Eh tl mated at Six Billions. The National Copper & Brass Re search Association has completed a gnrvey of the building operations of 1922, and on this has based estimates for the building program of 1923. According to the association's report approximately $5,000,000,000 of new buildings were constructed in 1922 and building construction for 1923 estimated at $(i,000f000,000. Of this amount, $2,300,000,000 will be de voted to housing, $2,100,000,000 to office, business and industrial buifd- ngs and the remainder, $1,600,000,- 000 to churches, hospitals and schools. In 1922, the report states, there was developed an actual build- ng program of $7,390,000,000 and of this huge amount only a little less than $5,000,000,000 was actually car ried out and the remainder carried over into 1923. Canadian Trade With United States Has Not Been Hurt By Tariff CASH IMMEDIATELY 3 Official Records Disprove Statements Carried in New York World, Or gan of Free Trade Democracy. Washington, Jan. 15. The free trade propagandists are tireless. Al so they are truthless. An example of the glaring misrepresentation which Democratic and free trade me diums present in order to discredit the protective tariff is furnished by an article in the New York World of December 31 upon the subject of Canada'B exports to the United States. In this article accurs the following: "For the 12 months ending Octo ber 31, 1922, Canadian exports to the United States were to the value of $337,073,218. The decline undoubted ly showed the progressive enects oi the restrictive United States tariff. On the other hand, for the same per iods there was a substantial increase in exports to the United Kingdom." The new protective tariff went into effect September 22. According to the reports of the United States De partment of Commerce, Canadian ex ports to the united Mates lor Oc tober, 1922, the first complete month under the new protective tariff, to taled $32,885,109. The Canadian ex ports to the United States for Oc tober. 1921, totaled $26,015,476. In other words, during the first complete month under the present protective tariff, Canada exported to this coun try $669,63 more goods than it did October, 1921. This completely gives the lie to propaganda printed the New lork World to the effect that the tariff caused a decrease of Canada's exports to the United States. There is no doubt that Canadian exports to the United Kingdom have substantially increased during the last year. This is not due to the protective tariff of the United States but to the tariff laws of the United Kingdom, which discriminate against goods from the United Mates in ia vor of goods from Canada. This dis crimination varies from 10 to 20 per cent in favor of Canadian goods, in cluding all kinds of agricultural pro ducts. This discrimination in the tariff of the United Kingdom was made a part of England's tariff laws effective October 1, 1921, almost a year before the American protective tariff went into effect. That Canada is selling more agricultural products the United Kingdom proportion ately than the United States is due to this British tariff which favors Canada and other British colonies and not to the American protective tariff. The dominion of Canada since the war has enacted three protective tar iff laws, all of which discriminated Against the United States in favor of the United Kingdom and other Brit ish possessions. The last of these tariffs was ... full force and effect over a year before the Fordney-Mc- Cumber tariff became a law. This fact disposes of the charge that any tariff which Canada or the United Kingdom may have is due to an ef fort upon their part to retaliate against the protective tariff enacted by the United States. In point of fact, the operation of the Fordney-McCumber tariff has awakened Canada to a realization that she is the nation that should recon sider her tariff legislation. The Fordney-McCumber tariff contains a pro viso that the rates may be material ly increased by executive order on im ports from those countries which im pose a high tariff on American goods of like character. Ihe Canadian tar iff, enacted and operative over a year before the Fordney-McCumber tariff became a law, imposes a high rate on imports of lumber and wood products from the United States. Alarmed at the possibility of the United States retaliating, and knowing full welt that such retaliation would be justi fied, the Canadian government is now making overtures to this counrty to establish reciprocal relations on tim ber, lumber and wood products, the effect of which would be, not a change in our tariff laws, but the removal of Canada's tariff against such imports from the United States. In other words, so long as the Uni ted States had no protective tariff, Canada, in common with a great many other nations, felt free to ex ploit this country and at the same time to raise high rates against our exports. But when this country was armed with a protective tariff with a clause which gave the Presi dent power to raise duties still high er against nations which had prohi bitive rates on Americnn imports, Canada, in common with other na tions of the world, Is beginning to take a different attitude toward the United States and hint at the desir ability of establishing reciprocal relations. Coaxing You to Smile. All "(ailed" Victory Notes and Ma tured War Havings Stamps Hare Stopped Bearing Interest. If any reni'dent of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District. comDrmnir California, Washington, Oregon, Ida ho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and for savings purposes Alaska and Ha waii, are still holding 4 per cent Victory Notes of the Fifth Liberty Loan with the letters A, B. C. D. E. or F prefixed to their serial numbers, the Treasury Department desires to call to their special attention the fact that these particular Notes were called" by the Secretary of the Treasury for redemption on Decem ber la, 1922, and therefore have ceas ed to bear interest since then. The Z per cent Victory Notes were also 'cahed for redemption on June 15, 1922 and have likewise ceased bear- ng interest from that date. Three hundred and nineteen million dollars of Victory Notes were sold in the Twelfth District, and as a con siderable portion ' of the "called" series still remains unredeemed, it is obviously to the holders' interest to cash them immediately and put the proceeds to work through de posit in their banks or by invest ment in other sound securities. Oth erwise, the money tied up in these expired Notes will be earning noth ing for its owners. The Treasury Department wishes also to remind all present holders of the 1918 issue of War Savings Stamps that these Stamps matured on Janu ary 1, 1923. Facilities have been provided at 11 banks and postoffices to handle the redemption either for csah or by exchange into Treasury Savings Cer tificates. Bankers and postmasters can give full information on the sub ject. If this exchange is made be fore January 16, the Certificates will be dated January 1, 1923, and will enjoy interest from that date; other wise they must bear the date they are actually issued and will draw in terest from such issue-date only. As some fifty million dollars were due the citizens of this district on January 1, 1923, for the 1918 War Savings Stamps they still held, much unscrupulous effort is being made to induce those who have not yet re deemed their Stamps to part with them for questionable stocks or to put the proceeds into other highly speculative ventures. In view of the wide distribution of these Stamps among a very large number of small buyers, the Govern ment is greatly concerned in seeing that all holders get their full face value of $5 per Stamp, and that they reinvest this money to advantage. j The Treasury therefore recom mends and urges reinvestment of these funds through exchange of the Stamps for 4 per cent Treasury Sav igns Certificates up to the limit al lowed, which is $5000 maturity value of these five-year absolutely safe and profitable Certificates, issued in de nominations of $25, $100 and $1000. The Treasury asks your valued co operation in cautioning all Stamp owners NOT to part with their stamps for less than their full face value, and also in awakening all hold ers of the "called" Victory Notes to the advisability of cashing them without further delay.
