The result of the occupaizon has a heavy reduction in business all over the counrry and a ris n the cost of living. The influence also transport trade, and the two principal ‘ports of the country. which are fur t0o big for their own requirem have suffered con- \Mtrdhl\ their primary function industrial dis- Rhine. rd Hit. nental influcnce ed also to the export trade of Dutch agricultural produce which has been interfered with by the inter- ruption of trade routes through the occupied territory and the fluctuating «xchange rate of Germany, Holland's largest buyer. At the outset of the Ruhr occupa- tion Dutech merchants attempted to llow business to slide along without topping their production in the hope that the occupation would be only a matter of a few weeks. A different resuit, however, forced them to close factories and cut off the source supplies, and after the prosperous war period, produced a trade depre: ion of a magnitude never before nown in Holland. The present state of affairs gas continued about ten | months, and can hardly” be relieved until the problem of the occupied ter- ritories is solved. In contrast to this, a temporary benefit has resulted to many Dutch industries, which have been able to regain old markets and have en- deavored to open out in new direc- tions, as is noted by R. V. Laming, commercial secretary of the British embassy at The Hague. ~Moreover, the introduction of artificial silk works has resulted in successful si state, tri Dutch competition with foreign goods. Trade conditions have been reflect- ed in the public finance. The state revenue has dropped some 30 per cent from the figures reached during the war years and resulted in a large deficit in the national exchequer. This has made retrenchment neces- sary. In presenting the minister of finance estimated deficit of 48,000,000 florins for 3 would not be reduced, and that the 1924 deficit is estimated at 50,000,000 florins. The loss on rail- road operation and the cost of keep- ing up the state educational institu- tions represent a loss of about half" the deficit of the country, which cannot be reduced under present con- ditions. new budget, the stated that the INDIANS TO HOLD BIG CONCLAVE IN OKLAHOMA Nearly 10,000 Delegates From Va- rious Tribes Expected to Attend Session.

All day processions of red men have: wound their way from every part of North America into Sand Springs Park. Tomorrow the\camp is expected to be increased so that when the celebration starts Monday morning approximate! 10,000 descendants-of Aborigines will be on_hand.
