WORLD FINANCE OUGHT
 TO GUARANTEE PEACE
Influence Of American Investment
 AbIo]I Discussed bJ StraIgh,.

Washington, May 28.-Willard Straight of New York, president ot the American Asiatic association, who was a representative of the American banking group in China during the recent loan negotiations, discussed at the National Foreign Trade conven- tion here yesterday the influence On American investment abroad in ex- tending the foreign trade.
 We should aim," he said, ito de- velop public opinion to approve the use of our national Investing power for the extension of our trade"
 He discussed particularly the debtor nations of Central and South America.
 Anticipated By President.
 President Wilson in his Mobile speech" he said anticipated s the day when, through the beneficent' in- fuence of. the United States these weaker states to the south would be enabled to. borrow on their national credit and no longer be obliged to grant concessions" This was an ob- ject, MT. Straight argued, which could be attained only by placing un- der foreign supervision the customs houses of such 70, financially em- barrassed countries to assure a regu- lar revenue to meet the service of loans which these republics now need. Without such security, he continued, except in the case of railways which the lenders could control neither Eu- ropean nor American bankers win loan money to these countries on or dinary financial terms.
 If we desire to avoid complfca- tions with European powers and de- velop our own export and import trade in the Caribbean sea, we must by means of foreign loans, establish ourselves as the guardians of the f1- nancial stability as we'll as the terri torial integrity of some of our south ern neighbors. There should be eff fective cooperation between the gov ernment, the bankers, the merchants, the manufacturers and the public. This would enable the government to adopt a definite policy and to declare that proper diplomatic support would be given to promoters and investors in foreign loans, the term of which had been submitted to and approved by the department of state and congress.
 Contention Not Justified.
 Tt might be objected that in enun- ciating such a policy the govern ment would pledge itself to use the army and the navy to exact interest payments due individual American in vestors Such a contention, however, is scarcely justified. Just as debtors prisons have been abolished in civil ized countries, so international opin- ion deprecates the collection of debts by military pressure. Private cor4> tracts are enforced by the courts, and international differences, thanks Gu the increasing recognition of the economic waste of wars, are now gen. orally adjusted by diplomacy and ar bitration.
 "It is becoming increasingly evil dent that because of international character and it's democratic founda- tions world finance must be regarded as a guarantee of world peace and development, rather than the means by which the strong are enabled to exploit the weaker na- tions."

RESIDENTS UP IN ARMS.

Property owners and residents liv- ing in the vicinity of the Harvard street plot recently purchased by the water department are considerably incensed because the department, in grading the lot, caused surface wa ter to accumulate in pools on ad- joining property. Corporation Coun- sel J. E. Cooper has advised the de- partment that it had a legal right to do the grading despite the fact that the work caused water to back up on other properties. The residents claim that the department did not have the moral right to create 8 breeding place for mosquitoes ana germs even if it had the legal right to do so. The corporation counsel advises that storm water drain be installed to take care of the surface water. The matter is being consid- cred by the.board of public works.
