FARMERS MATERIALLY
Washington Dec. 11. Protracted do-
bate prevented a voto In the sonato
today on tho Joint resolution direct-
ing revival of tho war finance cor-
poration as a relief measure for far-
mers. Recess was taken uniil noon
Monday with an Informal understand-
ing that a vote would bo taken not
later than 3 o'clock on that day.
Objections to that section of the
resolution which would direct that
tho federal reserve board provide
more liberal credits for farmers mark-
ed the debate today.
Supporters of the Joint resolution
reviving tho ' ncr f nance corpora-
tion ns a farmer-relief measure were
confident of victory should a vote on
the resolution be reached today In
the senate.
Tho section of tho resolution pro-
posing revival of the war flnanc
corporation which directs the federa'
reservo board to extend more lib-
eral credits to the farmers cam
In tor ottick today In tho senate.
. Senator Smoot sa d ho would move
to strike It out as he did not be-
lieve It would accomplish what the
farmers had In mind.
Senator f moot declared the fedora'
rsservo board could not do any more
In the way of extending credits than
It was doing without un amendment
to the federal reserve net.
Chairman McCloan cf tho banking
committee said this section of tho
reso!u;'on was "deceptive" but other
senators did not take tho same view
Ch ili-man Gronna of the agri-
culture commit ti" expressed th
belief that the section was a valu-
able suggestion to the board whll
Senator Smith South Carolina de-
clared that ft preferential rate of In-
terest on agriculture pap.T was de-
sired. Authority for the beard to give
such a rate is contained !n tho pres-
ent law Senator Smith saiJ.
Senator Corah rtepubllean of Idaho.
. charged that tho federal reserve sys-
tem was not operating as It was
Intended and it was under the bene-
fit and Influence of international bank-
ers. The Idaho senator told the sen-
ate flKuros had ljocn furnished him
showing more than n billion dollars on
deposit 'n tho New York banks from
country banks and ho wan ed to know
why this wasn't out In the country
banks. Senator Smoot replied that this
consisted of reservo whle':i tho binks
had to maintain mid tint It probably
was placed In New Turk for business
reasons and because nlso of tho rate
of Interest on dally halluces.
Penntor Smoot declared that he
wnnted to call tho auction of the
senate to the absurdity of tho section
relative to tho beard." "I don't wan

Chicago Dec. 11. The foreign trade
flnunclng corporation with plans for
a capital of $100000000 and a po-
tential capacity cf carrying $1000-
000000 worth of business on its books
was launched today for the announced
purpose of establishing American for-
eign trade.
More than 200 bankers ninny inter-
nationally known were the sponsors
for tho organization which announced
probably would be ready to begin its
work shortly after the first of next
month.
While the corporation was launched
today its organization will not be
completed for mother 10 days when
n special committee of nine appoint-
ed today by the organizing committee
of 30 will meet in New York to elect
officers choose a board of directors
and ou'llno the first active steps
to he taken by the corporation. In
the meantime the commltteo will be-
gin the werk of taking subscriptions
so that the legal proceedings Incident
to organization of the corporation
may bo rushed through and active
work begun.
The committee of nine will be head-
ed by John McHugh ot New York
elirt'Hnin of tho marine and com-
i;erco Cwnt .'.UC ot r the American
J. ankers' Assoclaifon who v lit an-
nounce; Its personnel on his arrival In
New York.
According to many of those pres-
ent at tho two-day organisation meet-
ing which ended tonight .Mr. Mc-
Hugh probably will be chosen chair-
man of the board of dlrec'ors. He
viis offered the presidency of the
corporation by tho committee of 110
today according to sevend of Its mem-
bers but declined. Presidential pos-
sibilities it was said today Included
Julius Barnes of Duluth; James R.
Forgan o Chicago and Herbert
Hoover.
Hope that the commlt'ee would not
le limited to representatives of oapi-
tnl whs expressed by Richard Hnwes
of St. Louis retiring president of the
Americnn Rankers' Association in nn
address nt the conference In which he
invited labor unions to take part in
the financing of the corporation.
"Many labor unions have large
surplus funds which could be made
to bring good financial returns to
the corporation" said Hawes "oml
we strongly urge them to Join us in
this work."
Tho first Mibscrlptlon to the corpor-
ation was made by tho Illinois Manu-
facturers' Association which pledged
$"00000 with the announcement thnt
It would double that amount If nec-
essary. Those isrescnt principally
subscribed $100000 tc be used In
d. fraying organization expenses.
The corporation will be organized
under the Edge Act. .which provides
for establishment of corporations which
may receive foreign securities nnd
Irsuo debenture against them to nn
amount not to exceed 10 times the
capital thus giving the $100000000
corporation power to finance $1000-
oua.OOO in foreign trado.
Common Sense Will Eliminate This Eil
(Editorial)
You would not be willing to assist
an epidemic like I ho flu that swept
over this country two years ugo
would yon?
Do you know there is another
epidemic now sweeping over tho coun-
try? This epidemic will not take so
many lives but It will destroy values
wreck business produce poverty and
cause hunger If It Is permitted to
spend its eti'lrw strength.
This conlaglon which the world
calls a financial punle has no right
to exist. There Is no legitimate muse
for Its presence. It ran be whipped
out In 24 hours if the people will
be controlled by common sense and
act In unity.
For example: Teople of a sudden
null buying clothing and as a result
mills shut down laborer are thrown
out of work wool loses Its alue the
closed mill uses no fuel oil the oil
refinery Is' hampered and moro men
lo-ie their Jobs and so wo see how
Intimately nil business concerns are
linked together one depends Upon an-
other and they nil depend upon the
attitude of the people taken ns a
w hole.
Another example Is taken from the
course pursued by the man who needs
to build but who waits until material
Rets cheaper. While he is waiting
tho carpenter the brick mason the
plasterer and the painter nnd plumber
remain without work nnd the mnn
who needs to build finds his own
business suffering nnd he Is stricken
with fear and decides not to build
at ill.

TWO SOUTH AMERICAN COUNs

NEARLY II.U.F CENTURY AGO j
Geneva Dec. 11. Disarmament of
the world must be a slow and gradu-
al process Is the decision reached by
the leaghe of nations assembly com-
mittee which has been deliberating on
the question more than three cweks.
The opinions of leading members of
the commission are that neither tho
political situation nor public opinion
is jet ready for full realization of
that object.
In fact even beginning disarmament .
is not considered possible by the
cou.m'sslon at the present time.
Accordingly tho program which will
be presented to tho assembly is t
proceed In three stages. Tho first
Involves an agreement between the
powers to mako no furt.ier Increase
in nrmainents. The second will pro-
vide for a gradual reduction on a ba-
sis which will be laid down by tho
armament commission of the council
of the league.
The third will provide for general
and complete disarmament when It
may be found that the situation per-
mits "V14. .
Committees of the assembly of the
league of nations were called Into
session this morning and tho ineet-
i 'ng of the assembly was deffr.J un-

send the United States a special In-1
vltatiori to nuino a member of the '
international advisory committee. The ;
commiss'on will also carry out pro- .
visions relating to tho opium traffic
which were embodied in the Versailles
treaty.
Members of tb" International court'
commuter have found what they hope
to be a solution of the Jurisdiction
problem lhat will satisfy those who
have objected to this f-aturo of th"
proposed International court. They
have inserted a clause in the pro-
posed plan which would provide that
a state which Is desirous of an agree-
ment by which nn offended notion
may cite an offender before the trib-
unal may signify Its appliance of;
the provisions. The clause would fur-
ther. stipulate that th's obligatory Jur-;
lsd'ctlon would become reciprocally
binding upon all those nations whieli
signify their acceptance.
This Is far from meeting the original i
demands of some states but hope is
expressed thnt the example furnished
by the first nations to nccept tho
clause would lie a moral force Btron;
enough to oblige others to follow a
similar course.
Disarmament In three stages Is
the subject of the recommendation
of the committee on armaments ol
the league of nations will make to
tho assembly as the result of Its de-
liberations. The first stugo would le marked

(Continued on page 2)
America has a surplus of food and
of raw materials the banks have
plenty of money thero can be no
famine there can he no panic except
the panic that Is produced by the few-
er the people.
The remedy lies with each man. If
we go ahead and buy In the usual
manner the merchant will prosper
if wo go abend and build labor will
prosper. Tho prosperity of the merch-
ant and of the laborer will taalre our1'
business prosperous
Thore need be no stagnation of
business. The man who pinches
down on his money hurts himself and
his community.
We went to extremes recently and
boiRht lavishly and refusal to take
any but hlgh-grsilo stuff and created
a scarcity and made high prices. Then
a fit of economy seised the people
they began to do without a worso evil
than the high cost ot living It upon
us.
Go on with building operations go
on with the usual training give LiU.r
employment keep everybody too busy
to think of hard times quit talking
panic and you will drive It from your
business and from your city and
countr.
Anybody ran run a business when
time ore prosperous and when eWty
hand extended to you Is full of mon-if-hut
It tries the manhood of a fellow
to stand firmly nnd with confidence
In ilnva nf retrenchment. In lov nf
price adjustment. It U time now
