SATURDAY EVENING REVIEW OF THE WEEK'S EVENTS HERE7tHERE AND EVERYWHERE
m COMMERCE
AND FINANCE
Happenings That Throw Light on
Present nnd Prospective Busi
ness Conditions.
Of parnmount Importance In the com
mercial and financial nows of the weelc
nre the preliminary steps toward a 100,
000,000 gold pool for the relief of the
foreign exchange situation, the success
ful placing of the 1100,000,000 loan of the
city of Now York and the decision of
tho Interstate Commerce Commission to
reopen tho 6 per cent, freight rato case.
These favorable omens In the business
world were further augmented by the
lifting of the ban on trading In New
York, Boston, Baltimore and Phlladel-
phla, providing that salesmen may bo
sent out to solicit business for listed and
unlisted stocks and bonds.
Following the sanction of the Federal
Reserve Board of the plan that the
$100,000,000 be raised to place tho foreign
exchango market on a firm basis, banks
throughout tho country came forward
with tho announcement that they stood
ready to advanca whatever amount It
was considered they should. This
amount, It Is believed, will only total
about J23.000.000. which will bo placed In
the Bank of England's Ottawa branch.
The $100,000,000 loan In New York nnd
lh rapidity with which It was plactd Is
one of the best Indications of a giadiiHl
return to normal conditions. The loan
was moro than flvo times oversubscribed,
nd It Is understood that foreigners, par
ticularly British Investors, put In bids
for ns large allotments as they could get.
Referring to tho threat made by Secre
tary of the Treasury McAdoo that he
would publish the names of banks hoard
ing emergency currency and would with
draw Governmont deposits from any banks
found to be doing so, the new York
World asserts: "Secretary McAdoo'a
warning to the national banks against
tho extortionate uso of emergency cur
rency Is a warranted Interference by tho
Government In their practice."
On Monday Postmaster General Bur
leson announced that he had under con
sideration a plan to mako the 2-cent
late for letter postage effective through
out tho Western Hemisphere. This an
nouncement Is hailed with satisfaction
among business men, who are now work
ing to build up a South American trade.
Without a doubt this proposal should
become operative. The plan, of course,
would result in smaller revenue for tho
Government, but It undoubtedly would
Increase our trade with the entire South
America.
Tho New York Times says on this
subject: "Postal treaties nnd conventions
looking to the establishment of an ef
ficient money order business with all
Central and South American countries.
Including the British, Danish, French
and Dutch West Indies, should follow
the measures already taken to extend
banking facilities to merchants of this,
country In South American cities."
Further to Increaso tho trade of the
1'nlted States with South America steps
are being taken In Chlcngo for the or
ganization of a. $3,000,000 banking and
trading corporation. Tr.ido experts dur
ing the week took a trip on a special train
of the Lehigh Valley, telling the needs
and advantages of Latin America. The
N'cw York Sun holds that Americans at
the present time nre not adapted to
trade relations in South America ns tho
Germans and the French nre, because of
tho fact that tho latter "become In lan
guage, manners, etiquette, both 'social
and commercial, often In law by naturali
zation, Brizlllnns or Peruvians. Longer
credit is another condition precedent to
American trade in South America."
It Is estimated that tho total wheat
rroductlon In tho Euiopcau war zone this
year will be about 2,601,000,000 1ushels, or
f2.S per cent, of Inst year's crop. This
(ihould be encouraging to the American
grain man, considering that this country
will tiavo a large surplus of wheat over
her needs this year.
The cotton situation assumed a Brighter
aspect this week. Five Cotton Exchanges
In the South, at Dallas, .Memphis, Mont
gomery, New Orleans and Savannah
eppned. This should lead to considerable
bu.vlng of cotton throughout the cnuntiy.
New warehouses nre now under construc
tion to care for tho cotton bought, and
theie Is every Indication that there will
be ample room to store tho cotton where
It can be held until tho pi lee advances
and there Is a demand for It. The South
ern Cotton Association will meet In New
Orleans next Tuesday, and it will prob
ably name a minimum price nt which
cotton can be sold. Thn price now being
held to is 1C cents a pound.

FOREIGN RELATIONS
The steamship Robert Dollar sailed
from Bio do Janeiro, Wednesday, flying
tho British colors. Two weeks ago tho
Robert Dollar made application nt Hlo
for a transfer of Canadian registry to
American, under the registry law of
August 18. The British Consul protested
nnd the transfer was refused. Tho Inci
dent derives Its Importance from Its ex
pression of the British attitude toward
President Wilson's plan for tho purchase
of foreign steamers to be operated by a
government-controlled corporation. The
President, on Thursday, said -that tho
ship purchase bill would not be taken
from the Administration's legislative cal
endar. It was announced In Washington that
President Wilson had determined to toler
ate no longer tho offensive public com
ments of foreign diplomatic representa
tives concerning matters of domestic con
cern. This announcement relates particu
larly to the alleged atatements of Sir
Lionel Cardcn, former British Minister to
Mexico, criticising our Government's Mex
ican policy; of Baron Wllhelm von
Schoen, of the German diplomatic serv
ice, who Is said to hnvo declared that
Japan wanta war with this country; and'
of A. Itustom Bey, tho Turkish Ambas
sador to the United Btntcs, whose refer
ences to lynchtngs In the Southern States
nnd "water cures" In tho Philippines
were not kindly received nt the White
Itodsc. It Is believed that the American
Government has asked for Itustcm Bey's
recall, or will do so. nnd thnt It wilt
take ofllclnl nctlon with reference to tho
von Schoen and Garden Interviews.

ment to kill new waterway projects, nnd
termed It unwise economy. Continuous

were advocated.
WATERWAYS AND PORK
On Monday evening, after a week of
eontinuous fighting, the allied filibustering
forces In tho Senate overwhelmed tho ad
vocates of tho rivers and harbors bill nnd
forced them to an unconditional surrender.
The motion of Senator Ilankhond, of Ala
bama, Dsmocrnt, to recommit tho bill to
the Commerce Committee with Instructions
to report a new bill carrying u total ap
propriation not exceeding $20,000,000, was
debated eight and a half hours. The
motion prevailed by a vote of 27 to 22,
exactly a quorum. Sixteen Democrats
nnd eleven Republicans voted to recommit
the hill. Seventeen Demociats, four Re
publicans nnd ono Democrat registered
themselves us In favor of It as it stood.
The success of the llllbuster, which was
led by Senators Burton, of Ohio; Ken
yon, of Iowa, and N'orrls, of Nebraska,
vas warmly upplauded by administration
newspapers ns well as by tho press gen
erally Tho New York World and tho
Brooklyn Eagle, which have been con
plcuous In support of the Wilson ad
ministration. Joined with the New York
Fun, the Buffnlo Commercial and other
papers In declaring that tho lllibusteis
had done a teal and lasting service to
the country. There seems to lie what
approaches unanimity of opinion on the
lhlcs of "pork bills " The new maxi
mum of $20,000,0"iO was set by President
Wilson, but, says tho World, "It Is great
lv to bo regretted that he did not take
earlier a definite stand on this out
rageous meabiue." The Springfield Union
harks back to tho, Democratic national
Platform In these words: "It must seem
to all fair-minded critics that the record
of the Senate Democrats is a flagrant
abandonment of the party's professed de
votion to economy."
The compromise plan for the lemaklng
of the bill calls for the reduction of tho
total appropilatlon from $53,000,000 after
''had been cut from one original $9J.
'Oo.tOO, nnd authoiizes expenditures only
'or projects that have aliculy received
the approval of Congress. The AVnah
ington Times comments: "The hcrelofoie
authorized" clause makes It nossihle that
cork heretofore apportioned may continue
to bo paid for from the new appropria
tion. Nobody knows Just what projects
are needed and ilghteous. A step
has bum taken In the right direction,
out a longer one is needed. There should
be a general and sweeping overhauling of
the whole system" of apportioning money
rir purposes that come under the head
of rivers and harbors improvements. The
reduced sum, by the terms of the com
promlse, is to be spent "on existing water
way project In the discretion of tho Sec
uury of War and the Board of Army
Lnglneers."
Rivers nnd harbors bills are not all of
the character of the one now under dls
vUMion, we are reminded by the Detroit
rct Press. "Indeed, they have Inaugu

EMERGENCY TAXATION
The war tax rovenue bill, agreed upon
bv tho Democrats of the Ways nnd Means
Committee nnd framed in accordance
with the President's suggestion that "such
sources of icvenue be chosen as will be
gin to yield nt once nnd yield with n
certain and constant (low," was julio
duced into the House of Representatives
Monday. On the following day the com
mittee presented Its leport, saying thnt
"the necessity for this legislation grows
out of the reduction of revenues derived
from customs lecclpts, caused by tho
disturbed conditions resulting from the
war In Europe."
It Is estimated that the new tnxes will
bring $103,000,000 Into tho Treasury In n
year. In geneial, the measure follows
the lines of the Internal loveiiuo laws of
the Civil nnd Spanish Wnrs, but while it
Imposes lmny of the old and some now
stamp taxes, It omits altogether bank
checks, some other kinds of commercial
paper, also medicines and perfumes. In
plaro ot these are taxes upon gasoline,
parlor car and sleeping enr tickets and
vailous kinds ot wine. Beer pays less
than heretofore, whisky Is Ignoied and
tobacco's burden Is not much changed.
Bankers, brokers and amusement pio
prletors are levied upon, nnd Insurance
policies nnd telegraph and telephone mes
sages nre Included among sources of rev
enue. Republican opposition to the hill has
been manifest in Congress and in tho
in ess hlnte it was, llrst proposed. Tho
Boston Herald calls attention to the
fact that Canada, uhk'li Is a partici
pant In the.EuiopH.iii htiuggle. Is im
posing a war tax no larger in proportion
to our own. The Chicago Herald objects
Httonuoiisly to the provision concerning
Insurance policies: "A tax on life and
casualty insui.inee policies Is a tax on
small savings. Why don't tho lawmakers
put ,i tax on savings bank depuoltH and
be done with It? They ato doing about
the same thing." Limited praise for
tho bill Is given In the Now York
World, In the icinnik that It does not
Increase tho exactions upon Incomes and
omits whollv the mischievous Idea of
taxing domestic freight bills. Support
and npp'isltinn. both In Congress and
out if It, Is divided on strictly partisan
lines.
The principal criticism of the war tax
measuio is that It is wholly iinnecos-

says the Iliooklyn Citizen, "It is a tribute ,
to Democratic Incompetenco and extr.iva
gsun.e." The Albany Jnbriial cnlls It "a
war tax in time of peace," and declares
that Congress framed it In tho hope of
concealing the effects of "Its fiee-trado-uard
policy," The piopnsal for the es
tablishment of a taxation commission,
to which would be committed the entire
subject of revenues by the Government,
is seconded by tho Ohio State Journal
as the way out of Mich muddles as that
which now exists: "It will be a forward i
step when congress jlelds its right to
legislate fur revenues, for then such
luws will bo haunt upon pilnclpie and
not upon ei'lllshncsg, which characterizes
the field today."
Yesterday the war tax bill camo up
under a rule limiting debato to seven
boms. This rule, reported from com
mittee on Thursday, was denounced by
tho opposition as a "gag" rule.

Tho New York Evening Post, which,

lit god the acctptanc of the truce, regret
ted that the rejection "makes tho pros
pect of n return to noimnl conditions less
promising," and that tho companies
should show a lack ot n "hearty and sin

At the same time It felt that ns the truce

Mexico's restlessness Is manifest again,

causes of the breach betwien Carranza
