TRADE BOARD
BILL RIDDLED
Brandegee and Sutherland,
Republicans, and Thomas.
Democrat, Flay Measure.
MAJORITY IS ALARMED
Inde6niteness of Certain Sections
Causes Solons to Frame Pro-
posed Amendments.

The Senate yesterday spent another
day in discussing the Federal trade COM
mission bill Senator Sutherland and
Senator Brandegee. Republicans. dis
cussed it and dissected II, and Senator
Thomas, of Colorado. a Democrat, pro-
nounced it an un-Democratlc BILL be-
cause Of the extraordinary powers con-
ferred on the trade commission.
Senator Thomas attack on the bill
was unusually vigorous, and gave his
Democratic colleagues considerable con-
ceFn. Senator Pomerene defended the bill
in a brief speech, as did Senator New
lands.
Senator Cummins called up late in the
afternoon an amendment he has proposed
to section five OF the bill. relating to
"unfair competition" Senator Cumrnins
expects to discuss the matter and TO try
to arouse a septiment in the Senate
that will lead to some modification of
section five. which has been unsparing-
ly attacked. not only by Republican
Senators. but by Senator Reed. of Mis-
souri,, a Democrat, because of its in
definiteness.
The Cummins Amendment.
The Cummins substitute to section FIVE
declares unfair competition in COM
merce to be unlawful, and says the
trade commission shall have authority
to prevent II whenever the commission
has reason to believe II exists.
The defendant in such proceeding is
given the right TO go to the Federal
court to have such an order annuled.
suspended, or set aside, in whole or in
part.
Senator Pomerene Is preparing to make
an attack on the Clayton bill He Is pre-
pairing a speech in opposition to the para
graph of the bill which proposes to ex-
empt labor organizations from the anti
trust law. The Senator from Ohio is a
Democrat and apparently he is the only
one on that side of the Senate chamber
who will attack the proposed exemption.
Decide to Protest.
conference of Republican Senators
yesterday morning. attended by less than
one-half of the Republican membership
of the Senate. decided to protest against
the action of the Democratic majority
in cutting out the morning hour by re-
cessing from day TO day, and by trying
to limit speeches by Senators in that
way. But the conference decided that the
Republicans should interpose no factious
or dilatory opposition, but should record
their objections as briefly as possible and
allow the trust bills to go to a vote.
The temper of the conference was in
favor of an early adjournment. and II is
believed that unless the river and harbor
bill is Pressed. Congress can adjourn be-
fore September /.

into the maelstrom. Europe and the
rest OF the commercial world are look
ing to America as never before.
While Europe cannot expect the Uni
ted States to finance the war, we are
quite likely to give important aid in
the matter of extending credit and
relieving foreign bankers of their
usual seasonal financing of American
products. We may even find it to our
advantage to aid-finance the war if
such funds are used to pay for our
wheat, cotton, etc. Our surplus food
supplies will be sold to Europe at
handsome profit. The world may con
sumo less cotton next year, but Ian
cashire is hungry for the tleecy sta
pie that must be had in order to keep
her mills going and her export mar
Germany will unfortunately suffer a
tremendous loss in export trade.
which neither France nor Great Brit
ain will be able to make good. Some
of the articles which Germany pro-
duces for export, of course, cannot be
duplicated; but there would seem TO
be no reason why many of the big or
ders which she receives for steel pro-
duets should not come to the United
States, especially as Great Britain
will not be able to satisfy such de-
mands Germany, however, has an
immense overseas commerce aggre-
eating about $4,500, ,000,0 900, which will
be partially lost and may be perma-
nently impaired. German vessels have
carried on an enormous transatlantic
trade with both North and South Am
erica and also with the Far East.
A very considerable portion of this
might be won by the United States
did we possess an adequate merchant
marine. The time is highly propi-
tious for such a movement. Prompt
and intelligent Legislative action is
needed. If we are able TO regain our
former prestige upon the high seas
we must be able to build and operate
ships as cheaply as our competitors.
Congress is now considering new leg
islation upon this important subject,
and it is to be hoped that the shack
les which have impeded our Ameri-
can development will now be per
manently removed.
The European nations are no long
er polite to each other, all being at
loggerheads, and not until the hurly-
burly's done and the battles lost and
won" will there be peace. Who could
have dreamed that in this goth cen
tury with civilization in its present
advanced stage, that history would re-
peat itself in the barbaric fighting
now going on between the nations of
Europe. However, the expenditure of
$50, 100000 a day for war needs, as at
present, will eventually be an import
ant factor in bringing about peace
and the laying down of the lion and
the lamb together. Should this re-
suit in general disarmament of all
nations it would go far toward com
pensating for the loss in lives and
treasure as general armament was
certainly leading TO the general
bankruptcy of almost the entire
world.

(By Henry Clews & Coz

New York, Aug. 16.-This country
is rapidly settling down to war
basis. The initial shock to business
has been safely passed without grave
danger on this side, and as a people
we are now gradually resuming such
activities as can and must be carried
on in spite of the war. The strong
efforts to steady the general situation
emanating from leaders in the bus
mess world are having their benefi-
cent effect. Courage, consideration
and cooperation are working wonders
in restoring or readjusting trade
movements. The most important re-
lief thus far obtained is the announce
ment that Great Britain has been
able to reopen transatlantic commun-
ication, with the prospect that other
avenues OF sea transport may soon
be reasonably safe for commerce. We
will shortly be able to ship our sur
plus wheat and cotton, for which we
need the proceeds quite as much as
Europe will need the products. There
has also been considerable relief
in the foreign exchange situation, al
though that branch of commerce is
still badly demoralized The estab-
lishment of the moratorium abroad
;pt oti II,
a state of deplorable confusion; but
these are the exigencies of war and
some time to come. Financial London
has partially recovered its equilibrium
and the reduction of the Bank of Eng
land rate is a decidedly reassuring
symptom. Its action also in opening
a credit agency at Ottawa will be ma
terially helpful both here and abroad.
The resumption of the London cotton
exchange for business, however is re-
mote; the impossibility of closing up
transactions with many of the princi-
pal centers of Europe being problem
of the most serious character. There
is no immediate prospect of opening
the New York stock exchange, but
much relief will result from the ap-
pointment of the committee of five TO
pass on the buying OF securities for
cash at not less than the closing
prices on July 80. This will allow the
completion of many legitimate con-
tracts, and will prevent any demoral-
ization in security values through
excessive trading. Practically it
means that this market will be sus-
tanned at about the last prices of the
30th of July when the New York stock
exchange closed. Extensive efforts
have been made TO safeguard the
money situation and our bankers are
of course all exercising unusual pre-
cautions in credit operations. Hap
PLY this country is in splendid con-
dition to stand the strain imposed
K by vast European war.
This coSntry possesses an incalcu-
liable advantage since it is the great
