TO FURNISH RAW MATERIALS New Orleans, Oct. 16—Hope of the wrold is centered on the United States in helping solve Buropean problems of unrest by furnishing raw materials on long time credit, and by endorsing the league of mations. Sir James Hope Simpson, general manager of the Bank of Liverpool, England, told the Asso- clation of Commerce here today in a speech at a luncheon. “Take Poland for example,” he said, ‘where immediate relief is neceded Raw materials sent there so that men can be put to work will help the prob- lem. But the materials cannot be paid for in a year, two years or three years “If the United "States solves thix problem in Europe it will be the Breat- est work for civilization that the world can expect. “The great hope of England lies in the league of nations. I do not care to review your *political differences on this but we in England will be disap- pointed if after the war the cherished dream of .a near perpetuation of pepac is not made possible by America join- ing in the organization of a league of nations.” e IEE SSTEADY IMPROVEMENT IN CONDITION OF PRESIDENT Washington, Oct. 16.—Further indi- cation of the steady improvement in the condition of President Wilson, who today entered the fourth week of hi illness, was given tonight in the statement by White House officials that the vote on the Shantung amend- ment to the peace treaty was imparted to him within a few minutes after the senate roll call.
