Betterment if the exchange rate on United Kates and Mexican gold is one of lie most significant developments thii republic of the recent allied accesses in the world war. At one ime exchange stood at nearly 60 jfhich meant that holders of Ameri an money who changed it into 4exican coin lost 20 cents Ameri ca on each dollar. Since the Teu tonic powers' cry of "kamarad,"' bwever, exchange has dropped to 2, which means that only 4 cents merican is sacrificed on each dollar njthe processof exchange. LOWER WAGES; POST-WAR NEED, SAYSJANKER Workers Should Be Educated to Less Money, is Conten tion Millionaire Bank . Official. Chicago, 111., Nov. 15. To meet the post-war situation, the worker must be educated to the fact that he is better off under a decreased wage than under high wages of war times, Ralph Van Vechten, vice president of the Continental and Commercial National bank, said in an address here to western news paper men. "I am not disturbed about social ism in America," said Mr. Van Vechten, speaking at a dinner given by Armour and company, but 1 am disturbed about the labor situation to follow the war. It is up to you men to show the laboring man he is going to be better oft under de creased wages and declining prices, than he is under wages of war time. The value of his dollar will increase from now on and the price of com modities and labor will go down. That is your problem. If it is not clearly brought out, we are bound to have more or less trouble." Touching on the question of fi nance, the speaker said that when war .broke out it seemed a tremen dous" undertaking to place $500,000,- 000 of Anglo-Franco bonds, which was placed by the Morgan house. "Yet here in the fourth Liberty loan $6,000,000,000 was placed with greater ease than $500,000,000," Mr. Van Vechten said. "It shows the termendous growth in our banking power brought out by the necessities of war. If. Mr. Armour today wants to finance a government contract, he may have all his credit exhausted and I mean by that he may have his lines full at every bank where he does busi ness, but that does not matter; we have another piece of machinery, and that is the bank's acceptance. We can finance gocernment con tracts mounting up into the hun dreds of millions of dollars through the medium of the bank accept ance, which we did not have be fore the war. It is an instrumen tality that has been brought out by war necessities, and it is only one of several instrumentalities which have come through this awful catastrophe. But, if the problems of the war have been stupendous, I believe that the problems of peace after the war will be still greater. I do not think any of us realize the tremendous in flation under which we are working today, and when you consider that at the very minut the armistice is signed the bubble of inflation is pricked, then you begin to realize what our problems will be m the re adjustment which is bound to come. You journalists have played a most important part, greater, I think, than any of us in arousing the lethargic conscience of the pub lic, and in creating a sentiment in favor of preparation." The speaker said that conserva tion of our natural resources is an other question of greatest import ance. "We have changed our posi tion from a debtor nation to a cred itor nation. Today, and from now on, we will be the financier of the world. The money center has been transferred from London to New York, and that means that we are in a position henceforth to exploit the natural resources of any part of the world without exhausting our own.
