TR O ‘can thera be any solution of any international problem unless all the natlons interested participate? People Must Rebufld World. ibility of solving the “The respo many international economic quess tions now confronting the world and the restoration of normal conditions of trade and finances, rests, not upon the governments, but upon the peo- ple, “upon the business men and bankers of the various nations. Prac- tical men who have spent years of intensive study in the building up of business and financial institutions know best how to restore the world's economic balance. Politis leaders must_bring about confldence in the stability of the governments of the Kuropean nations, but the real work of rehabilitation must be done by the people. The efficiency of the govern- ment of any country depends upon the intelligence and vision of its people. “The reports of the Genoa confer- ence indicate the European economic situation is critical. 1t is apparent the uropean countries cannot start the machinery to ma the world function again as a gOIng concern without our co-operaiion “Their attempt to_settle the eco- nomic troubles of Europe at Genoa without efir presence is as futile as to try to rearrange or adjust rhe affairs of an individual bankrupt in the ab- sence of his creditor. “It is the function of such organiza- tions as the Chamber of Commerce of the United States to educate the peo- ple of this country to think interna- tionally. so that when Congress may be asked to authorize the participa- tion of the United States in the solu- tion of international problems the members of our national legisiature may act as becomes the representa- tives of ‘the richest 2nd most progres- sive country on earth.” ™ Mr. Delafleld Warns. Supplying the home market alone will not make tRe United States prosperous. John R. Delafield, for- mmerly chairman, board of contract, adjustment of the War Department. told the convention. “The prosperity of the United States depends upon maintaining its foreign trade - at its maximum,” he said. "It may be asked. How does the repayment by the allies of our war loans to us and the payment by them to us of the interest on these loans effect our Jfor- eign trade? Why should it not in- crease our prosperity, for it would bhe bringing in cash to the govern- ment. which might then diminish our taxes, and the cost of our products might decline proportionately? ~But let us consider whether this would, in fact, be the case. In order.to maintain foreign ‘trade at its maxi- mum pur purchasers from us' abroad must have the means of paying for our goods promptly and without great difficulty or expense to themselves. “Thesa same countries, Great Brit- ain. France, Belgium and Italy—the countries to whom we have made these so-called war loans—are our best customers, and the ones upon whom we have to depend to take our <urplus product and materials, and thus to keep our industries going and to give us prosperity erfous Factor Invelved. “There is a very serious economic factor involved, which has already begun to harm and will harm 'us much more in the future unless the situation is changed. It Is sald that France intends to use the reparations payments from Germany as a means to get money with which to make payment of her obligations to the Tnited States, and that it is for this reason that France required the rep- arations to be paid her in money, rather than in labor and goods. “Let us consider how this works out—whether for our good or our harm. The reparations payments amount to about $2.400.§00,000 a year. This amount the Germans must raise very vear. It is sixteen times great as the interest the French owe us on their war loans. But here the Germans have the same problem to meet as the French have with their interest payments. except that it is on an immensely greater scale. They must buy exchange to an extent hitherto unheard of. and they have only one effective way to create the credits in their favor and that is by themselves exporting as much as they possibly can and buying as lit- tle as possible in returd. so as to use all they can of their_credits to pay on the reparations. Such credits a: they can create by selling their de- preciated marks to people of the al- lied countries who may desire to speculate in them will be but a small help., almost negligible. in the face of such an immense sum. ‘Now, the Germans must double their ment of production and prices brought about by the war and by the boom that followed it will pass away,” Mr. Morrow sald. “They will pass away by the operation of the same natural forces that have operated in-such periods in the past. Marrow declared that “we may think we will—get back some day to a stable Europe, with an orderly ficancial system, but we have little 1€ason to expect that it will be th samé Europe that we knew in 1914 “It is not easy to tell what kind of Kurope it is going to be, but I think we have moved far enough away from the war to realize that some of the jdire predictions that were made three years ago have not been fulfiled by the events." the speaker declared. Unsound Expansion. - “How will the financial rehabilita- tion of Europe help America? I think the answer to this question must largely commercial depression to the financial chaos Europe. “It 18 too often considered that'all of our troubles are due to the failure of portions of Europe to recover financial equilibrium. But this is by no means true. The depression in the United States and in England has been due in large part to the fact that a great ‘emergency demand for goods in 1919 led to unsound exe pansion. With the disappearance of the emergency demand the temporary prosperity passed away, and for the past two years the world has been working back through much pain and travail to a readjustment of values. “Two yvears ago our thoughts were all on the high cost of living. Then the reduction of price came. This re- duction helped the consumer, but hurt the producer. Inasmuch as every man is both a producer and a consumer he has had.to balance off his gain in his capacity &s a consumer against Mis loss in his capacity as a producer. and. as. in every economic readjustment, the net loss or net gain has fallen unequally upon different classe: The convention was not in genaral session this afternoon, the delegates attending the various group sessions There will be a general session at 8§ o'eleck tonight at Convention Hall at which A. .

Government Operation of Railroads to Come if Efficiency Warrants “Government operation will come, and. indeed, should come, if and when it is clear that government operation will yield the greatest return for the expenditure,” Frederick Delano. for- mer president of the Wabash railroad, told the general meeting of the trans- portation and communications group this afternoon at the Washington Ho- tel. Howard Elliott, chairman of the board_of the Northern Pacific Rail- way Company. preside Mr. Delano continued: “That return should ba not in the form of a fair return only for the use of the cap- ital, or for a return only to the pub- lic as efficient service, or only to the worker as wages, let us say, liberal wages (and that we excel the world). but it must be in all equity and fairness an adequate return to rned in proportion to their Private operation of raij must be efficient and econom- must meet human demands of promptness. etc., and, finally. lay its cards on the tabie to the fullest inspection and constituted has been due in parts of it must subject supervision by properly authority “It is recognized, or should be, that in dealing with the question of trans- portatien -such a thing as a general ! cessation of operations cannot for a moment be tolerated. Congress has taken the first step toward prevent- ing such cessation by requiring both parties to submit their case toa board representing both sides and the public as well, but it has not vet taken the final step by imposing any require- own exports of 1913 to get the money g ment that the men who enlist in this for the reparations payments. and. unless the demands of the world have increased that much. they must dis- place the trade of other countries to this vast amount, an amount a little Jess than_ one-third of the total ex- port trade of the principal allied countries, and this displacement of trade will be largely a loss to these, allies. whose trade will be thus’ greatly affected. Must Seek World's Trade. “In other words, in order to pay her reparations in money or exchange, Germany must capture this grea: share of the world's tr: s0 vastly greater than the tradefihe ever had hefore the war. Asslifie that she does it successfully, then has she not accomplished an economic supremacy that it will be hard to over turn? Her goods will then have an estab- lished market the world over. such as they never had before. Her in- dustries will continue their vast and economical protiuction on a scale no, other nation can rival, anl she will soon hecome a nation of very great ealth and power, perhaps greater than ever before. “Are we willing to deliberately con- tribute to this result and to raise this great rival to our trade? Do nur debtor nations lock to the Ger- man_reparations for the means to pay their war debts to us? If they do, we should think and act quickly to alter the situation. “The problem is a grave one and | of a character that requires courage and statesmanship to solve. It also glves an opportunity to effect a gen- eral readjustment which would add to the benefits that would flow to us from the forgiving of these claims against our allies. England, for ex- ample. is not only our debtor, but has aiso herself lent lurge amounts, aggregating about £1,113.251,178, to France and our other allies. These loans may fairly be sald to have been made in large measure from the moneys (amounting to $4,196,- $18,358) she received from us. AsS a condition for our canceliation of Eng- land's war debt to us, we might reascnably ask in return that .she cancel her claims against France and our other allies. And we may with reason hope to accomplish this re- sult, for England has already given some evidence of willingnese to for- give these loans. Thus we might free France almost entirely from the need to require payment of the Ger- man repargtions in money and ex- change. and thus prevent Germany from flooding the world with her goods.” Trade Revival Foreseen. “With courage, with patience, with tolerance, this great country with its manifold activities should soon pass through its perfod of depression; in fact, the signs are mary that -we are already upon the upturn,” Dwight W. Morrow of J. P. Morgan & Co., New ork city, told the géneral convention today in his address on “Financial Rehabilitation_of Europe in Relation to_American Business.” __“The overproduction of goods of Bey. particulax kind, the maladjust~ service shall not desert their posts except on proper notice, and cannot interfere in any way with the con- tinuous operation of trains. “Furthermore. in_declaring for she {principle of collective bargaining, we must judge from what is constantly being said in the public prints that the public does not realize that the so-called ‘open shop” o often talked of represents a tempurary condition which in practice does not, and can- not, continue, and therefore its dis- cussion is largely acadeniic. My ex- perience and observation running over period of many years satisfies me {that unil labor unions change thelr attitude very much, such a thing as an ‘open shop’ is an iridescent dream; it must be either a non-union shop or. if it is a union shop, it must be closed against non-union men.’ Explains the Steps Needed for Maintaining Open Door ' in Commercial Relations Four nécessary steps to carry out the announced policy of equality of opportunity and the open door in commercial relations were announced by W. S. Culbertson, member of the United States Tarift’ Commission, at the meeting of the domestic distribut- tion and foreign commerce groups of the Chamber of Commerce in the ballrcom of the Raleigh Hotel this afternoor. Mr. Culbertson gave the following steps as desirable: “In revising pld and negotiating new commercial tréaties we should adopt the unconditional form and interpre- tation of the most-favored-nation clause. We shall thereby estab- lish_a basis on which to insist upon lish & Uas s on whch fo fnsist upon We have several de- sirable, well located tracts of ground which we can sell for much less than market prices.

Additional duties applied at the discretion of the President and in a degree to fit each case will re- move many discriminations, open or concealed, which could not so easily be reached by the slower method of negotiating general tariff treatie “The effectiveness of bargaining methods applied by any nation is 1im- ited. Systems of discriminations, es- pecially between colonies and mother countries, involve large political as well as economic questions and should preferably be considered in an in- ternational conference. The object of such a conference should be the fullest consideration of the advan- tages which would accrue to all na- tions from the application of the principle of equality of treatment and the open door to all colonial possessions and dominations as well as to nations. Such a conference might properly he called by the United States. Discusses Tariff Bargaining. | "“The methods of tariff bargaining are used for the purpose of obtaining com- mercial advantages. The act of bar- gaining itself, however, raises large in- ternational problems. ~ Until most-fa- vored-nation treatment is made both unconditional and universal. every tarift bargain must be to a greater or less ex- tent a discrimination also. And every discrimination, with whatever phrase it is dressed up and and no matter how clearly it comes within a nation's sov- erelgn rights, as hitherto understood, is felt by the forelgn countries which are discriminated against as an un- friendly act. The world cannot afford to increase the number of unfriendly acts.” E. Irving Bullard, vice president of the Merchants’ National Bank, Bos- ton, discussed European conditions from an American mercantile stand- point. Ernest T. Trigg of Philadel- phia presided and C. D. Snow acted ae gecretary of the meeting. "The chain-store system of distribu- tion is & normal development of the evolution of business, Dr. Paul H. Nystrom of New York told the do- mestic distribution group yesterday afternoon. There are now probably over 2,000 chain-store systems in the United States, he said, with a total of more than 100,000 retail outlets. “The chain-store system is here' to stay,” Dr. Nystrom said. “They came into’ existence because there was & definite fleld of service for them not adequately covered by any other type of retail institution.

Some of our institutions have been in Cuba and Mexico for a good many vears and a few agencies were placed in Hawaii and Alaska, he asserted. i Before the civic development group Ern Greenwood told of the opera- tion of this country’'s immigration laws. The exclusion clauses frequent- ly cause distress and in some in- stances most heart-rendering hard- ship, he remarked, but this is not because our immigration law, with the restrictive provisions contained in it, is not good. It is due. he said, rather to the way in which the law must be administered. In other words, the speaker stated, it is a good law which it is difficult to enforce. The immigration official with humanita- rian impulses fin his official life a constant torture. he added. Yesterday afternoon the flnance group listened to a discussion of the progress on the national budget sys. tem by T. T. Abbott of Chicago. He declared that the budget system is due quite as much to the efforts to secure a business system in govern- mental affairs made by organizations ilike the Chamber of Commerce as it jis to the promises and platforms of political parties. It should be a |source of satisfaction, he said, for the members to know that from its in ception the budget bureau has been directed and managed as a non- political, non-partisan and impersonal business agen and in no sense a piece of political machinery. At the same time Julius Klein, chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, was speaking to e foreign commerce group on 'What Are the Great Markets of the Future for__Specialties and for Staple: The European outlook in this connection, he asserted, wus favorable, basic tendencies founded on the stabilization of finances and currency showing considerable im- provement. He sald there is a dis- tinct upward trend in American ex- ports to Europe during the past two months, although it is too early to prophesy definitely as to the perman- ency of these increases. Speaker Sees Lumber Export Trade, Properly Conducted, as Meaning Conservation The lumber export trade, properly carried on, will not sap this country of its natural resources, but will really mean conservation, inasmuch as it will stabilize the lumber in- dustry and thereby prevent heavy fluctuations of prices, Axel H.

Mr. Oxholm said: “The future of American lumber in Europe, however, is very encouraging, because the Eu- ropean substitutes now used have proved to be both unsatisfactory and uneconomical in the long run. One has only to visit the chemical plants on the continent of Europ which in pre-war days used Ameri woods and which now are using European pine for tanks and vat: They are all dissatisfied, and tie products turned out by these mills clearly show the lack of proper tank | stock. The furniture factories In Europe have been forced to use cheap European materials, and the conse- quence is that the furniture turned out is generally below the standurd of pre-war times. In some European shipyards, European woods have been used for panels and trim, but the builders have failed to impress the public with the fact that knotty TTRACTIVENESS —characterizes Plitt's work.

Benator Howard Sutherland ad- dressed the natural resources produc- tion group yesterday afternoon, giv- Ing his views on “one of the decided tendencies of the day, that of gov- ernment regulation of private busi- ness, particularly as applied to the coal industry. Senator Sutherland declared that during the past twenty- five years'there has been a constantly growing tendency toward paternalism in _government. “This tendency was greatly accen- tuated by the conditions brought on; by the great world war,” he sald. “If we yleld to the suggestion for gov- | ernmental congrol of the coal indus- try this would soon be followed by the demand for governmental control and regulation of other great basic industries. “To turn all these great businesses over to the control of a bureaucracy will bring about a socialistic condi- tion which is repugnant to American | ideals and not contemplated in the; great scheme of government formu- lated by our forefathers.” —_—— SCHOOL NEEDS URGED. {Teacher Council Asks for Hot .

Things are all topsy-turvy at Drake. The “Ducks,” a time-honored interfra- ternity, have been ordered disbanded, for it appears it was the “Ducks” who played ducks and drakes with Drake. The college paper's staff has been sus- pended on account of some of the jokes that were printed. Two students have been expelled for operating a still and others have been cast out for entering a_sorority house while the co-eds were still in bed and scaring the wits out of the pretty things. The boys deny they entered the bedrooms and tied all the pink “undies” into knots and things. College Traditions Shaken. As a result of the general onslaught upon the rockbound traditions of Drake gix students altogetner have been ex- pelled, indignant parents are threatening to have the law on members of the faculty and college authorities are just concluding a series of investigations, the results of which indicate tnat the F. Scott Fitzgerald type of youth exists even in Des Moines. Most of the blame is placed upon the “Ducks.” Five of the men expelled were “Ducks.” Ten more members of that band were suspended. but were reinstated today, following their resolution | promise to be good little boys and put | lengths and widths. their jazzy aspirations away in moth balls. " The “Ducks” were ordered dis- banded on the charge that they hav dominated the student body, control- ing politics, athletics and society at Drake. Events which led to the wholesale suspensions and expulsions began on Campus day recently when a group of university men invaded the Alpha, Xi Delta Sority house. Early reports had it that the boys had forced their way into the girls' bedrooms, but It was proved they did not go beyond the first floor of the house. Then an eagle-eved faculty member wspied some highly spiced humor in the Delphic, the student newspaper. Some of the jokes, the professors say. were unprintable, despite the fact that they appeared in print—print o plain that even the sedate faculty members did not_have to run before they could read. Four members of the Delphic staff were suspended. Lively Times on Campus. The day following their suspension D. W. Moorhouse, astronomer and dean of the Drake men, on his way to classes, discovered himself hanging in effigy from the limb of a tree on the campus. Responsibility for this ffense also was attributed to the Ducks,” Further Investigations fol- lowed. and with them came the charge that two of, the men, later expelled, were found ‘operating & still in the' basement of a fraternity house. Other students were charged with “fixing” elections and insubordination. A probe of the election methods in the student body now is on. the special subjects of inquiry being the election of a president of the student council' ard the naming of representative men of the unjversity. The students “given. the ar* at Drake are some of 1hef university’s best known . men. The senior law students have been as-| sured they will be allowed to tuke the state bar examination, and their parents say that if any attempt is made by the faculty to injure their reputatfons legal actions will follow The students not affected by the upheaval are convigced that vita- | mines are out of place at Drake.
