AMERICAN MONEY financial experts from the 21 American republics will meet in Guatemala City to discuss common problems in the monetary, foreign exchange, and banking On Nov. 13, fields. Coming just at this time, when the dislocations which would follow a European war are a distinct danger, this meeting can be very important. The closely linked economic future of the Americas is tied tightly to monetary stabilization and relations between the central banks of the American states. Here, at least, the United States can begin to exercise the responsibility forced on her as the worlds leading creditor nation. No step should be overlooked which will tend to increase mutually beneficial eco- relations among the American republics, for events may soon throw them even closer together. nomic TRAFFIC REVERSAL It is not yet too late to reverse the traffic fatality increase which has broken through the long string of decreases since November, 1937. July again showed a 1 per cent increase, following a 2 per cent increase m June. It is possible that these small increase's are due to heavy vacation travel incident to the two fairs, since deaths on the rural highways were what raised the totals. The concerted safety campaigns of the cities sc'cm still to be effective. As summer tourist travel dies down, jierhaps a still more intensive drive for safety inside the cities will be able to bring the years toll down. It is worth trying.
