Washington, Feb. 23.—Control by the federal government of all Amer- ican banking and investment credit in-the international fleld as a means of promoting world peace was ad- vocated today in the senate by Sen- ator Shipstead of Minnesota, the farmer-labor member of the foreign relations committee, Power For Good Through a control of the banking credly of the world, Senator Ship- stead said, the United States is giv- en the ‘“greatest power for good or evil that was ever given any nation i b i ‘HENRIK SHIPSTEAD - in the world to control.” He added that the manner in which control is exercised “will determine, for good or evs the destiny of nations and the destiny of humanity.” Senator Shipstead is chairman of the forcign relations sub-committee. which {8 to begin hearings this week on the Ladd resolution to declare it can armed forces should not be used for the collection of American pri- vate loans. The Minnesota scnator and others on the foreign relations committee who have been urging that the Eu- ropean nations refund their war debts to the United States, have been concerned by the mounting of priv- ! ate American loans to Iurope and more especially by the recent state- ment of French Finance Minister Clementel that negotiations were un- der way for a new loan to France | by American banking interests. Hope Coolidge Will Act Senator Shipstead told his col- | leagues in his address today that he | hoped President Coolidge would take a position of frowning on the huge foreign loans, and added if the exe- eutive would “follow the road to the end generations of Americans and generations of peoples in every na- tlon who come after him_ will bless | his name.” America, the senator should say to the world, 1 loan you money in unlimitgd quanti- ties with which to finance your pro- ductive industries, with which to build homes for your people and buy food for your people, provided you will disarm, disband your large standing armies, quit building bat- tleships and get down to a peace basis.” In Position To Dictate “We are in a position to dictate that policy of peace,” he added. “If the governments want our monéy let them pay for it by guaranteeing world peace. This is the genuine power for peace, greater than all the armies and navies of the world, all the arbitration courts, all the league of nations, all the holy and \H\hd}'| alliances that have disappointed | naive humanity.” Racing Car Loses Wheel, Wrecking Five 8an Diego, Callf,, ¥eb, 23.—A rac- Ing record that has endured for al-| most half a century was broken yes- terday afternoon at the Tia Juan track when Worthman—a five AT- old, by Fireman-Eel and owned by the Hollywood Stable—won the Epco handicap at two and five- eighths miles and clipped more than seven seconds from the previous rec- | ord for the distance.

Trumbull told the Hartford Rotary club at its luncheon meeting today. “The state may be' called a big business corporation with an annual operating expense of $25,000,000 and we should remember that this busi- ness will return us dividends in good government only in so far as we do our part. There is something that each of us can do and we should do 1t."? Governor Trumbull said -that he often noticed among business men a certain uneasiness during a legisla- tive session for fear of what laws might be passcd: * “Some ray,” he |sald, “that the best laws passed are those that are passed into the waste basket.,” The governor declared, however, that he believed the Con- necticut legislature totally free from graft and mismanagement and that ‘whatever errors it may make will be errors of judgment only, to which all men are lable. Plans For Improvement. The governor said he had some plans in mind which he th'nks will improve the financiai condition of the state but is not yet ready to an- nounce them. The only inkling he would give as to thelr content was that they would secure for the state more for its money than it is now getting. THe governor declared the state needs more improvements and then said “I had taken the stand that the state won't go into debt if I can help it, I have already announc- ed my stand to the various commit- tees who handle the state’s money. Let us set up business principles. T sce many places where they can be applied successfully.” “In order to make the operating expenses meet the income unneces- sary appropriations must be weeded out” the governor said “and the pres ent legislature secms to be of that opinion.” The governor again emphasized his opposition to promiscnous issu- ing of bonds which in the past he sald, bad violated sound business principles, FOIL SMUGGLERS’ PLOT Freight ('ll': Cleverly Arranged To Accommodate Allens, Is Confiscat- ed At T'orth Worth.
