HONEST BUSINESS AMONG NATIONS.
Great Britain's action in giving the United Stn
1 er gold bends payable in dollars with inter
causes one to recall that England does not repudii
ler debts and do< - net debase iter currency. Tin
have been times when British currency went to
discount but the Government and people of that cot:
try did not encourage it and always did everyth!
jieasible to bring it back to a gold value at t
u lieet opportunity As a i null ol the 1
Stirling at one time went down to nearly $3, b
lh ough sound and honest effort, it has been broug
b ck to nearly $4.70, and that it will reach nc
1 . r, about $4 86, within the year seems assured.
Of course, England, like t lei:. country and t
oilier nation.-, has had her cheap money advocates, b
those over there, like thoee* here, have not be
successful. When the United States, following t
war between t lie Stale , disregarded I lie greenback!
i nd other cheap money advocates, and redeemed li
bonds and paper circulation in 100 gold cents I
each promised dollar, irre pectivo of the value s
got for the greenback dollar, she exhibited a scr
of honesty and fair dealing that established her crei
beyond cavei. Notwithstanding that London investc
bought American paper dollars for 30 cents and g
J00 cents for them it was good business on our p;
to pay. Our promise to pay 100 cents was wrltt
on the face of every greenback dollar and we ma
tile promise good.
Tlie experience of America and England h
proved that among nations as among indlvidu.
"honesty Is the belt policy." A nation lias no great
moral right to debase her currency or to throw I
erfedit to the winds than an individual lias to fli
promlroory notes that he knows lie cannot meet
protect with a: eta or to pasr. bad checks or count!
felt money.

COTTON MANUFACTURING IN SOUTH.
Indications are that the cotton manufacturing I
dufctry Is fast being transferred from New Engla
to the South. In 1922 there was an increase
the number of spindles in the South of 286.8(
and already orders have been placed for the adi
tlon of 807,720 in 1923. A few days ago it w
announced that New England manufacturers co
templated the investment of 8250,000,000 in Southo
mills to be erected during the next four or five yeai
‘wXbi*-movement is largely due to the cheapness
E|waler power in the South and the more favorable
(labor conditions there. For several years now South
_ern mills have been running more steadily than
2R those of the North. The t.pindles In the South, on
the average, opirate from 50 to 100 per cent,
more hours per month than those of New England
, Another thing that helps the South is the fact
that there is the source of the raw material. More
:"d and more as population increases and wealth becomes
bettor distributed the manufacturing industries get
on; nearer and nearer to the raw materials. The Middle
“5 West became a manufacturing center long ago, and
Je'. now the Far West anti South are feeling the impulse
ot changing conditions.

The United States is not the only country that is
suffering from an increase in wholesale prices, and
therefore not tin* only country that is worried on
account of the danger that high prices will interfere
with foreign trade. Wholesale prices in France are
four-and-a-half times us high as they were before the
war.
Ono of the lirst things Henry Ford did after pur
chasing the big glass works in Pittsburgh was to raise
the wages of (he workers about 80 per cent. Tltis
was made po hie partly by the elimination of the
overhead In soiling the product. He takes the entire
product for his own companies.

An Irish Referendum.
(New Yoi4 World.)
President Cosgravp cf the Dail Eireann may yet
win hack all the ground lost through the execution of
Irish Republican leaders if he insists on the project
ol a referendum on the Free State to follow a truce.
The rebels are greatly outnumbered. In any ballot
tl.cy would lose by an overwhelming margin. And a
referendum would moan the beginning of constitu
tional government to replace guerilla warfare.
An ordi rly government is, of course, Impossible
in Ireland so long as there is u considerable minority
which refuses to accept the verdict of the majority
on the question of independence. The Republicans
are oworn to fight until they realize the Ideal of a
republic, and many of them will never concede defeat.
Fundamentally, however, they are not widely divid'd
from those southern Irish who, though they would
lather have a republic, have accepted the Free State
aa the host available compromise.' A referendum, by
I revealing the hopelessness of Republican aspirations
I at present, should swell ihe majority in favor of the
j Free State compromise.
Time too is on the side of Cosgrave. ' Guerilla war
fare is much more attractive as a brief adventure
than as a steady occupation. The Irregulars are
showings occasional signs of weariness which noth
ing but Free State errors such as the recent sum
mary executions can overcome. Offers of a truce and
a referendum should work more powerfully toward
peace than the activity of tiling squads.

Prominent among Hie subjects outlined for serious j
