Debt Showdown Looms.

The Earl of Denbigh deplores the Jamentable ignorance of our people,” | Mr. Borah continued, “and wants to start a campaign of education. But the American people have sufficient intelligence without any extraordi- nary educational -exertion to unde: stand how a debtor acts when he does not want to pay what he owes. We understand perfectly that the attac on the United States is the peculiar . Way they have of asking for cancel- lation of their debt.” Official Notice of Slurs. The declaration of the foreign rela tions chairman, made in a formal statement, was the first official notice | to be taken here of the recent anti-| American agitation whish has ex-| pressed itself in attacks on American | sightseers in Paris, vitriolic denu ciations of the American policies by a | section of the Italian press, and other scattered outcroppings throughout | most of Europe. Mr. Churchill, who is head of the British treasury, was declared by Sen- ator Borah to have sought through | his recent utterances in Parliament | to apply military tactics to the inter- | national situation and. conduct “A | Gallipoli campaign for canceliation.” | Villification always has been a part | of military strategy, the Senator sald. | and now it had heen brought into | play to brand the United States as | “Uncle Shylock,” and the American people as a nation “vold of all sense of humanity or correct principles.” Mr, Borah quoted former Premier | Asquith and Lord Curzon to show that | cies the Senate of the United States into the World War had quite another notion of the ideals which were at that time the impelling force behind « American policy ‘nited States Got No Territory. s happened since the war d have forfeited our high w be denounced as he continued. “We attended the Versailles conference, where, among other things to be done, the world was to be partitioned.

A bill designed | to alter this system already has been tentatively drafted at the request of | Senator Phipps of Colorado, who is expected to introduce it just as soon as Congress reconvenes. The proposed legislation comes as a sequel to an attack or the existing system by Senator King of Utah dur- ng consideration by the Senate of the District appropriation act for the cur rent fiscal year. He was particularly bitter in his denunciation of the “tax | title ring,” and declared that it is formed by men who make a business of buying tax certificates and extract- ing “enormous profits” before quitting a claim or making any relinquishment. “In some cases,” he declared, “own- ers have the utmost difficulty in s curing their own property.” District Would Buy Property. i | | Instead of selling the property of | delinquent tax payers.gt an annual | public sale as is now done, the biil provides that the District purchase | these properties as soon as the taxes | | become in arrears, and hold them for | , after which they would be | ¢ the court under the same con- | as a_foreclosure.

BIG UNITED MARKET MAY BE PLACED ON PATTERSON TRACT Department of Agriculture Co-operating in Plans for Model Establishment. $8,000,000 IS REQUIRED TO DEVELOP PROJECT Committee in Extensive Survey Has Found Only Two Sites. Other Is in Southwest. BY WILL P. KENNEDY. Washington today is about to relo- | cate its public market system on an fdeal model plan under which all of the allied interests in the marketing svstem can be properly co-ordinated The plan will meet changes that have come with the growth and beautifica- tion of the municipality, and as far as possible take care of the requirements of the future. The United States Department of Agriculture is co-operating to have a model market center established here that will set an example to all the great cities of the world. The advice | of that Federal agency is based on an economic study by Federal marketing pecialists during the last year while they were exercising administration of the Washington Center Market. This historic institution, which has taken an important part in the af- fairs of the Capital for the last 1 ars, must soon be moved to make for the long-contemplated de- velopment of the south side of Penn- sylvania avenue and the improvement of B street to be a boulevard of heroes from the Capitol to Lincoln Memorial. and the official route of corteges to Arlington National Cemetery. Present Site Must Go. The entering wedge for this develop- ment is the plan for erecting the new Internal Revenue Building on the three pieces of land between Tenth and Twelfth, B and C streets north- west, for which appropriation has been made by Congress as part of the $50,000,000 Federal building program. The strip of land between B and Little B streets, on which the founda- tion work is soon to be started, new occupled by the farmers’ market, or “the ecountry line.” The entire market system of farmers’ market, wholesale market and city market must be kept intact, because of the close relation each bears to the other.: Therefore, with plans for finding a suitable new location for a farmers' market. expert consideration is being given to plans for an entirely new market sectiol From earliést times the market place has been the thermometer of a city’s growth and prosperity. It was the original community center in the days of ancient Rome. In the 1 ears that have elapsed since the Washington Center Market was established residential Washing- ton has grown away from this old market center. Today the necessity for establishing a new market center is not only in line with the plans for beautification of the Capital, but is based, also, on economic and utili- tarian considerations. Survey Has Been Made. These facts have been impressed upon the committee, composed of Maj. Carey H. Brown, engineer of the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Commission: Lloyd §. Tenny, acting chief of the Bureau of Agricultural Fconomics of the Department of Ag- riculture; C. W. Kitchen, business and superintendent of the Center Market, and George M. Roberts, superintendent of the office of weights, measures and markets of the District government. They have been making a survey of the -entire District to see where a market center should be located, with a view to making recommendations to Congress in December. This committee is almost agreed that the following are essential re- quirements for a model mariket center such as they propose to recommend to Congress 3 First—Railroad connections to elimi- nate the cost of handling the foed products. This means not only ad- jacent freight yards but private tracks Jeading to the doors of warehouses, wholesale houses and to the coal bunkers of the central market build- ing. Second—It must be readily acces- sible to the greatest number of in- habitants of the District of Columbia. Must Protect Consumers. Third—With particular reference to the farmers’ market, which is an es- sential feature to protect consumers from commission merchants, the new market site should be located with careful thought to the ability of the farmers to bring in their producg over the big trunk line highways without being forced to pass through heavily congested sections. Fourth—Accessibility ~ of street railways and bus lines radiating in all_directions. Fifth-—Space sufficient to accommo- date all the groups which are an in- | tegral part of a model market cen- ter; not only the center market build- ing, in which stands are rented to some few dealers, but the whole- sale market, the farmers’ market, the warehouses of big wholesale concerns, and sites that can be-purchased by several hundred merchants in fe- lated businesses. While the Center Market now occupies an area of about two and one-half acres, this is but a very small fraction of the space required for an ideal market center. Space must be convenient for parking of automobiles for the man Who goes to market. Sixth. To carry out the plans of those who are projecting the model market center it is essential that relatively cheap sites can be sup- plied for warehouses clustering about the market center, which can served by spur tracks. Two Locations Found. i In its survey the committee has found only two locations that merit serfous consideration. One of these was the area covering five city blocks which the Southern Rallroad transferred last year to the new Potomac Freight Terminal Com- pany, which proposes to establish $1,000,000 freight terminal facilities and rallroad sidings. This area is bounded by Water street, Maryland (Continued on Page 4, \ :
