Mr.. Bryan's Interesting Proposal.

The most important proposal that de-
yeloped during the financial conference
between the secretary of the treasury
and the delegates of the Central and
South American republics is one which
has passed unnoticed by the newspar ars
and has found no place in the official
record of the conference.
Mr.. Bryan presented proposal at a
dinner given by Gen. Edward C. O'Brien,
formerly minister of the United States
TO Uruguay, in honor of the minister
of finance of Uruguay and the members
of the Uruguayan delegation, looking TO
an interchange of credit by the govern
ment of the United States with govern
ments within the Pan American union
that might desire TO take advantage of
the arrangement. The secretary of state
was careful to say that he threw out the
suggestion he was about TO make quite
in personal and unofficial way, obvi-
ously guarding against its being regard
ed at this time as an administration
measure or as representing even the
views Of any of his colleagues.
His premise was that the development
Of several Of the South American repub-
lies was greatly hindered by the lack of
credit which would enable those coun-
tries to borrow on any reasonable basis.
He cited instances of governments pay
ing eight per cent, and he could, Of
course, have cited many such instances
and some where the rate would have
been even higher He very properly re.
garded this lack of credit and consequent
lack Of national initiative as great
loss, not alone 10 the countries and the !
people of the nations being considered. |
but quite as well 10 the people Of the
United States.
This interchange Of credit was TO be
accomplished BY taking from a South /
American nation it, obligation bearing
four per cent. interest and giving such /
q country like amount Of United states
bonds bearing three per cent. interest.
Our government however, instead Of
making the one per cent. difference in
interest rates. would devote this 20 the
amortization of the south American
bonds. which by investing The sinking
fund At three per cent. would be accom-
plished in a. years II

scheme, it still deserves to be pronounced
not only a daring but a really brilliant
| conception. 1t is daring because it goes
beyond the conventional in government
| finance, but it is brilliant because il
appeals to the Imagination as offering
something that while attended by diff.
culties is not impossible of realization
and if carried through successfully
would be historic act of statesman
ship. The benefits to the states that
took advantage of such an opportunity
for useful and practical purposes would
be obviously very great, as they would
not only pay lower rate of interest
than that to which they have been ac-
customed, but they would be under no
necessity of making additional provision
for the payment of the principal. On
the other hand, the United States would
be nothing out of pocket if our South
American neighbors always made their
annual payments promptly.
Nevertheless, we would repeat that

is worth examining much more closely

The Parkersburg State Journal ac-
.ctlrately reviews the country's bust
ness situation as follows
The business outlook for this
country has been bad ever4aince the
Democratic tariff went into effect.
For the last year it has been growing
gradually worse. The European war
has helped business in. this country
and to some extent has kept us nff
theIrocks. notwithstanding the claim
OF the Administered ton that during the
last six months it has been the cause
OF all our business and financial
troubles. Tt has helped US in various
ways; II has held in check the killing
competition which otherwise orr fac
tories, mills and farms would have
faced from great influx OF foreign
goods produced by cheap labor and
under conditions that do not pertain
in this country. It has been the
means of furnishing us with mar
sket, at least to some extent. for a
part of our products. which otherwise
would have been closed to us. Our
factories and mills, in some sections
have received very large orders for
military supplies, from some or the
countries at war. All Of these things
have had tendency to aid in sus-
tanning business here; Init for them
this country would be In far worse
condition today than it is.
But with the British Isles prac-
.tfcally under blockade. the English
channel and the North sea unsafe
for navigation. with Z. the prospect
that blockade VIII in few days

is ominous for the business of this

The disappearing peach trees oil

in agriculture which will doubtless
soon become familiar in other locali-
tics. 1t has been difficult to raise
peaches in Colorado because or the

The method consists OF bending the

of earth and straw. The roots on two

propped during the summer. IN the

is flooded, in order that the moisture
may give greater elasticity, and by
