146. "Portcullis . . . devices": In a table entitled "Ratio of Silver to Gold in India," we read: "1677-East India Company autho? rized by the British Crown [then Charles II] to coin gold, silver, copper, or lead, with its own devices" [HMS, 396].

148. (abbreviare): L, I, "to abridge, short? en. " Various tables in the source show that over the years [1650 B. C. to A. D. 1893] the differences between the Orient-to-West ra- tios became smaller [HMS, 394-400].
149. Steed: Henry Wickham S. (1871? 1956), foreign ed. of the London Times, author of numerous books, lecturer on Central Euro- pean history at King's College. Also owner and ed. of the Review o f Reviews, founded by W. T. Stead in 1890 [100: 107].

156. Ideogram: Hsin [M2737]. Part of "Make new, day by day make new" on T'ang's washbasin [53:40-43]. Pound said of this ideogram: "[It] shows the fascist ax for the clearing away of rubbish . . . the tree, organic vegetable renewal" [J/M, 113].

163. xaladines: The last line of the Merrill sonnet quoted earlier, "En casque de cristal rose les baladines" [80:205], ends with this rhyme [78:72]. Merrill and Pound use the word to suggest a certain rare color in the eyes of the goddess. [MB, Trace, 355. 356, has good discussion. ]

153. Mr Carlyle: John Griffin Carlisle, 1835? 1910, longtime congressman from Kentucky in both the House and the Senate. He was speaker of the House for 6 years and served in the Senate until Feb. 4, 1893, when he resigned to become secretary of the treasury during Grover Cleveland's second term. He is one of the unsung heroes in the long fight against the money barons. As ear? ly as 1878 he said: "The struggle now going on cannot cease, and ought not to cease, until all the industrial interests of the coun- try are fully and finally emancipated from the heartless domination of the syndicates, stock exchanges, and other great combina- tions of money-grabbers in this country and
in Europe" [Barnes, Carlisle, 36]. [As I write this, Dec. 23, 1982, a tragic irony is clear: the entire industrial world and the developing countries upon which we depend for materials and markets have been brought to the brink of monetary and fiscal disaster, not because the people cannot produce and distribute goods and services, but because of the operations of bankers and the vested interests that support them. Worst of all, no voice such as Carlisle's is heard in the media. The public debates concern "apples and oranges," while the solution to the problem is "preventive medicine"] .
