would willingly, if she could, tear

We are glad to believe that there
is an increasing number of people
among us who prefer liberty at any

that submission means not only the

from the Various
States.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The
Southern Commercial Congress,
through its president. Senator Dun
can U. Fletcher, began today the dis
tribution of letters to agricultural
leaders and thinkers regarding a ma
tion-wide study of European systems
of cooperative rural credit. This
action arises from the meeting of the
directors of the Southern Commercial
Congress in Nashville, last week,
when they unanimously voted 10 act
on the recommendations Of the confer
ence on rural finance held in Nash
vile April l to under the auspices
of the Southern Commercial Con-
gress, and the cooperation of David
Lubin. American delegate in the In
ternational Institute Of Agriculture

FOREIGN RURAL
FINANCE STUDY

at Rome.
The conference recommended that
the Southern Commercial Congress
take immediate steps to bring to-
gether a select commission of two
thinking men of practical agrlcul-
tural experience of each state of the
union; this commission to leave New
York June 10, in order to make a
tour Of Europe studying European
cooperative rural finance between
that date and September 10. The com
mission as proposed would first visit
Rome to meet with the International
Institute of Agriculture, and then
travel through Italy, France, Austria
Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands,
England and ireland.
After the commission Is formed 1t
will organize under its own bylaws
and thus become national, the South
ern Commercial Congress only ap.
pearing in preliminary arrangements
The agricultural forces of each state
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1912-04-19

will be expected to bear the expenses
of their delegates and the joint ex-
penses of stenographers. interpre-
ters, and expert assistants.
The reason for the large size of
the proposed commission, is that ow-
ing to the differing agricultural eondi-
lions found throughout the United
States, leading men from each state
may, by the tour, study European
methods, and see how best to adapt
them to local needs. An additional
reason for the large commission is
that when the journey is completed
there will be two men in each state
who have had personal touch with
methods of modern rural cooperative
finance as a means of strengthening
rural life in the United States.
Herbert Myrich, president of the
Orange Judd Company, has already
guaranteed the participation of New
York and Massachusetts. AZ least
twelve other states, including Penn
sylvania and Minnesota. can be de-
pended upon to act Immediately. The
directors of the Southern Commercial
Congress will, in the southern states
act as the nucleus of q committee
within each state to produce immed-
late action.
