European Crisis Will Not Injure U. S. Business ►>* ' _ Observers Believe That Allow ance Already Has Been Made %r Worst That Can Hap pen Overseas. f; (Continued From Page One.) Monarchist, some Catholic monarch lit, some communist, and some re publican, will be followed by several •ther seriously unfortunate results. A Sew series of customs barriers will Jo set up In central Europe and the railroad system of Germany, which is now In effect the artery and cir culatory system of the nation’s trade, srill be disrupted. - The consequence will be that the 50,000,000 people wbo are able to live In Germany, as long as It is, so to speak, a single factor, must be re du6ed to the extent of some millions by civil and other wars, by starva tion, or by emigration. Further than this the fear is that some of the communist states which may arise out of the German break up, will set up new centers of com munist infection. Fear Wave of Communism. Still further. It Is believed that the example of disruption In Germany will be followed by a similar under mining of the stability of several of the smaller states (recently put on their feet. Communism, civil w’ar and separist movements In Germany will he followed by similar developments In other countries. As regards Great Britain and France It Is hard to see ^ny outcome of the present stage other than dis astrous ones, economically. Great Britain already has a million and a quarter unemployed on which the ^British government has laid out since the war more than two billion dol lars In doles. This British unemploy ment is almost certain to Increase. Since the occupation of the Ruhr there has been a slight stimulus to British trade due to the purchase by Germany and other countries of coal from Britain which formerly they got from the Ruhr. Germany, however, has now ex hausted the gold with which it bought this coal and other factors. Great Britain Is likely to begin the winter with an Increasingly acute condition of unemployment. As to France It has long been anticipated by the best Informed that the present evolution of Its Ruhr policy would result In Increasing depreciation of the franc. If this depreciation should reach the point for which It now seems headed, France must suffer serious economic and social consequences. nam to t anrei neois. As regards the attitude of the American government toward alt this ths one sufficient reason for Its in action has developed within the past few days. It has long been known that If the United States should take any afllrmative action In the field of reparations the first question asked by Europe would be: “How much of the debt we owe you are you willing to cancel?" On this point the position of America is that the debts due us must be kept severely separate from the question of reparations, ■ar^he heart of tile reparations ques tion is: “How much can Germany pay?” That question U not dependent on the debts due us from other countries. Germany cannot pay a dollar more by virtue of our reduc ing ihe amount due us from any of our European debtors. This dis tinction must be kept Hear by those who would understand Ihe American policy. It Is quite true, the capacity of our debtors to pay Is dependent to some extent on what they get out of Germany. The present development clearly'makes our prospect of pay ment less. There are. Indeed, able men In Europe who fear that even England's ability to pay America what It wants to pay and what it has promised to pay may be seriously Im paired by the progressive paralysis which Is overtaking Great Britain as a result of the condition In the Ruhr. The only thing the American govern ment can do is the thing Secretary Hughes has already done, namely, suggest that the question of how much Germany can pay shall he set tled by an Impartial commission. Reparations the Rig Question. In Europe the big question Is rep aratlons. In Ameriea the question that has occupied our political dls mission Is the International court. Europe regards the court as a thing aside, something academic which can not affect the reparations question. Much of our American discussion on ->,‘he court Is really in the nature of cJSftiestic politics. It expresses a groping for issues as between the democrats and republicans, and also as between the factions of the repub lican party, for example, ns between poolldgs and Johnson. Coolldge has said once and relter ated ones that In all respects It 1* his purpose to follow out ths policies of President Harding. If the matter ever becomes sufficiently Important there will he some Interesting evi dence as to Just what was Harding's position on the international court as It stood In his mind at the time he died.

Construction Day by Day So great and so constant is the growth inf demand for telephone service that the Bell System invests throughout the coun try an average of three-quarters of a million dollars every working day for new telephone plant. New aerial lines are always under construction or extension, new subways are being dug and cables laid, larger building accommodations are under way, more switchboards are in process of building or installation, and added facili ties of every description being mustered into service to care for the half million or more new subscribers linked to the Sys tem every year. This nation-wideconstruction, this large expenditure of funds, could not be carried out efficiently or economically by unre lated, independent telephone organiza tions acting without co-operation in different sections of the country. Neither could it be carried out efficiently or eco* nomically by any one organization die* tating from one place the activities of all. In the Bell System all the associated companies share common manufacturing and purchasing facilities which save mil lions of dollars annually. They share scientific discoveries and inventions, engi neering achievements, and operating bene fits which save further millions. But the management of service in each given territory is in the hands of the company which serves that territory and which knows its needs and conditions. By thus combining the advantages of union and co-operation with the advan tages of local initiative and responsibility, the Bell System has provided the nation with the only type of organization which could spend with efficiency and economy, the millions of dollars being invested in telephone service. “BELL SYSTEM' u Northwestern Bell Telephone Company ■ One rolicy, On* System, Universal Service, and all dii sc ted toward Better * Favorite JeUy of President Is Named After Him by Hotel Washington, Aug. 15.—President Coolldge Is so fond of tomato Jelly, as prepared by his chef at the Willard hotel, that the management has dub bed it Coolidge jelly.
