J. S. and Mexican Exchange
On Gold is Much Improved
I Mexico City, Oct. 15. 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.
