Stevenson made a strong speech on the bill, in which he showed his interest in the cotton planters of the South. The bill as he explained w?s very important m tnat it assists in the preparation for the World Commerce that the United States should engage in if it proposes to maintain its great place among the nations of the earth. We quote part of his speech, showing as it does the benefit that would come to the cotton planter. Mr. Stevenson's remarks were heartily applauded. He said: Mr. Speaker, to give an idea of what institutions of the kind which it is proposed to organize would mean, if we can get them expeditiously, I would say that a man in London or in Liverpool who wants to buy cotton today goes to his bank, for instance, borrows ten thousand pounds sterling. He comes to America or sends his agents here to buy cotton with that money. If he can get the gold and send it over here it would bring him $18,600, but he can not get it. If he has to c ome over here and draw exchange in pounds, shillings, and pence, as he will have to do, that amount of money will net him $41,500. If, instead of that, he could go to a banker of the character we propose to establish, or its branch in London, and arrange to put up the same securities there and get his loans in dollars in the home bank in New York, his ten thousand pounds would be worth to him $48,600, and he could buy with that 188,857 pounds of cotton at 35 cents a pound; but if he has to draw exchange and get only $41,500 for his ten thousand pounds, he could buy exactly 20,28(5 pounds less of cotton. In other words he loses 40 bales of cotton in the transaction. That is the difference, and it amounts to (I cents a pound. If we have these institu tions so that he could come here anil get his money, by putting up the same securities that he puts up in England, he could pay G cents a pound more for his cotton than he can under the present arrangement, and on the 1 1,000,000 bales of cotton in the United States that would mean $330,000,000 to the people of America who market the cotton. Mr. Stevenson added: The same thing is true with respect to the wheat market. If he could use the foreign exchange institutions that we propose to build up and could come here and borrow his money and have it in dollars, his money would buy 19,440 bushels of wheat, while if he had to come here and draw exchange he could only buy 1G.600 bushels of wheat, fixing the price of the wheat Jit $2.50 a bushel. In other words, if he could get his money in dollars, he would be able to pjiy 42 cents more a bushel for wheat anil tVu> ?nmo /vf *U~4 n-v V..W MM...V umuuilt VI VYIK-rtL lilill he gets nt $2.50 now, drawing exchange. For that reason the present emergency is one which makes it exceedingly important that these institutions be brought into existence, with all of the possible safeguards thrown around them, in order that the farming interests of the United States, the producer?and the same thing applies to the manufacturer? may have a market, where he can can get the full worth of his property and ! r ?u_ e : -? iiutc v?iv wili|n:viUU!l 111 UIU lUrt'l^H | buyer here to buy the goods and the products which he makes for export. For that reason I am in favor of passing this bill as promptly as due consideration for proper legislation makes it possible. 30-HOUR WEEK IMPOSSIBLE SAYS SECRETARY WILSON At the Washington conference between the operators and the representatives of the miners, Secretary of Labor Wilson said that both sides to the coal controversy were wrong to a certain extent, and declared that the 30-hour-week demand of the miners is impossible as well as the demand for a GO per cent wage increase. Speaking of what he termed "the stand-pat operators" the Secretary said: "They have not taken the right attitude either." Calling attention to the evil effects of the shortage of fuel throughout the country, the Secretary said that prompt action in settling the matter of wages and hours is urgently necessary, and he stated that in order to accomplish this purpose, there must be concee1WAI by sides. HOUSE ELIMINATES ANTI-STRIKE PROVISIONS OF RAILROAD BILL Evidently influenced by the covet threats of a general strike, the House of Representatives, by a vote of 161 to 108, adopted the Anderson amendment to the section of the Railroad Regulation bill dealing with the settlement of labor disputes, thereby eliminating the proposed atati-strike provisions of the bill and yielding completely to the demands of the fourteen railroad unions and brotherhoods who have been offering bitter opposition to the anti-strike legislation of any kind. Three plans were before the House. One was the Webster amendment declaring railroad strikes illegal; another attempted strike-andlockout prevention by providing for the assessment of damages against railroads for lockouts and aginst labor unions for non-performance of contracts, and a third plan, which was favored by labor unions and which the House adopted, which leaves the matter practically as heretofore. FRENCH CONDEMN AMERICAN SENATE'S TREATY ACTION An article in La Presse de PariB, the joint paper, now being published in Paris by all the newspapers except the Socialist on account of the printers' strike, criticizes the conduct of the American Senate in connection with the Treaty of Peace. The article says in part; "It is not time now for us to look for causes; we must look at facts. The Peace Treaty before the American Senate appears today completely deadlocked. We and the rest of the world have too much at stake on American ratification not to address a last appeal to our American friends before the final vote. France and Europe have had confidence that America would accept in the hour of peace her resposibililies growing out of the war. We never disintinguished between American political parties. We regarded the President of the United tSates as the messenger of America and as the holder of a mandate until he had been recalled; he remained before all the diplomats of the world as the true representative of his country. The treaty, be it good or bad, was constructed always in concert with?often under the direction of?the representative of the United States; hence the moral responsibility of Amereca." ASK YOUR BANKER A successful business man never hesitates to call on his banker for ad vice. His banker might hesitate to advise the purchase of an automobile because it is a source of expense; but when you mention your hauling needs and the necessity for a truck, you at once enlist a banker's interest. The earnings from a good truck will soon pay the original cost of the trusk. Your banker does mot think of truck buying as an expense. He knows that it is an industrial economy?an asset in your business which you will quiclky recognize in your bank account. Every progressive bank in the State is glad to lend money to any substantial farmer or business man to buy a truck. Your banker will want to know, however, whot sort of a truck you intend to buy, what record it ha3, the kind of service behind it, and the financial responsibility of the manufacturers The splendid performance of Indiana Trucks running in all other sections of the State is not equalled by any other truck. It is built at Marion, Ind., by the Indiana Truck Corporation, a concern which enjoys the highest possible financial rating, 'ru,. .1:.?u.. /"> 1: ? I i iiv uv<?tv: iiinii luutui is niu v>m uiiim Motor Company, of Statesville, N. C., a firm that is well known in truck circles, and one not unknown to your banker. With such evidence of reponsibility behind it, the Indiana Farm Truck is commanding very favorable attention amontf the farmers of this country. Every Indiana Farm Truck carries the Porta Power Units which turns it into a portable power plant. It makes use of evrey idle second of the truck and makes the truck more than ever a real investment.
