THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN FAVOR OF
NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY LAW

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN FAVOR OF A
NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY LAW
At the regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday afternoon the report of the special
committee to whom was referred the Torrey bill, to
establish a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout
the United States submitted. The committee was
composed of a. L. Orr +. Is. Thurber ana james NJ
Constable The report read in part as follows: III Is
the opinion of your committee it ever has been the
pronounced judgment of this Chamber that COM
prehensve bankruptcy law, having within It's reach
the entire country just in its provisions TO all classes
in interest inexpensive Of operation and rapid OF re-
suits should have place upon the statute BOOKS oi
the Nation. If objection is made to the enactment
of such law it must come from selfish or interested
sources and should have little weight with those who
are charged with the concerns of the National Gov
ernment
"As long as commerce continues to be operated, her
yotaries will be subject to commercial vcssitudes'
Experience has taught that large percentage Oh
those who enter commercial life at some period OF
their career meet with misfortune. THIS always must
be So for commerce properly understood is legitimate
speculation and in speculation there is element OF
uncertainty as to the outcome that cannot be ellm-
mated before the end reached Hence the possibility
of he honest insolven merchant who needs protecon
from the general governing debtor and creditor as
much as the suffering creditor, requires addluohal
safeguards from the possible acts OF the oshonest
debtor and it is to meet this dual need that Naohai
bankruptcy law is requisite that will be operative Tor
or against all alike throughout the length ana Dresa
of the whole land The TOIrey Bill, in the opinion OIL
your committee, meets this required need from lhe
standpointS of law and commercial equity.

Sir: letter which /! have Just received from

interesting explanation OF the recent coup d. eias
in Brazil:
Dom PeGros rule is over His fall Is largely
due TO his bad councillors. The Conservatives tired
TO make him accomplce of the Roman Catholic
aspiration. After having shown such progressive
ideas Dom Pedro submitted himself to the party which
recalled the Jesthts who were expelled from Brazil
and proposed TO add 10 the hierarchy five more bishops
and to create Cardinal Besides the great expense
this would involve. the Church would naturally gain
