Mr.. MARTIN j. GILLEN of Racine,

These principles are concisely

Every citizen Of the United States is en-
titled to look to his State and to the ma

or county Is or should remain the agent o
the State and subject to Its legislative con
troll. The state must also reserve for tn,
central authority the determination of gen
eral policies equally applicable to ever!
part Of the state.
Consistently with these limitations citie
and counties should manage their owl

and should enjoy home rule to the wides

Washington, Jan. 25.-The United

A document, 5000 words long, pre-
pared by President Wilson, Secretary
Bryan and Counsellor Robert Lansing
of the state department after several
days of consultation, was made pub
lie in the form of letter from the
secretary of state to Senator Stone of
Missouri, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations.

Quiry from Senator Stone for informa-

the press and in letters from various

Washington government with unfair

If any American citizens, partisans

Big INCREASE IN. EXPORTS
Figures for December o. Surprising
Nature,

Washington, Jan. 22.-Five times as
much wheat and six times as much
corn were exported from the United
month in 1913; flour exports increas-
ed more than 68 per cent for the same
period; fresh beef exports increased
more than twelve fold and generally
the export of "breadstuffs," which in
cludes practically all the staple grains,
increased five times.
These figures were disclosed in a
preliminary statement from the de-
partment of commerce issued in re-
spouse to many inquiries as to what
extent foodstuffs are going abroad
with resulting abnormal prices at
home.
