MORGAN & CO. MADE
AGENTS OF BRITISH
Object Believed To Be to
Prevent Shipments of
Gold to u. S.

London, Jan. Announcement was
made to-day by Morgan, Grenfell & Co.,
that J. j. Morgan e. Co, Of New York.
had been appointed commercial agents
for the British government.
The announcement said that tho ap-
pointment was made with the view
20 affording departments means Of ne
gotlating in America such contracts
and purchases as they need to make In
that country"
J. p. Morgan e. Co. confirmed reports
yesterday that they had been appointed
commercial agents for the British gov
eminent A member of the firm said
that il was impossible at the moment TO
say definitely what the arrangement
would involve, but il was understood In
banking circles that it would be a credit
extension, similar 10 the plan Of the
Russian government, 20 pay for sup
plies purchased here by drafts drawn
on the American bankers in the lending
group.
Bankers considered il significant that
the announcement followed so closely
upon yesterdays official statement that
an international committee would un-
dertake plans TO prevent an abnorma!
movement of gold between this country
and England should financial conditions
again become acute.
In view of the low rates of sterling
exchange, which at the present rate Of
our exports should 60 still lower and
thus place the United States in a pc
sition TO draw a large amount Of gold
from London, il was reported that the
credit which would be established here
for the British government by syndl-
cate Of bankers, under the management
of J. p. Morgan & Co., might run as
high as $l00,000,000.
There was some criticism in foreign
exchange circles of this plan. 1t was
pointed out that such a method of al
lowing Great Britain 10 pay for Amer
lean products would tend to establish
an artificial rate of exchange, and at
the same time minimize the credits
extended to American borrowers.
By renewing the drafts drawn upon
New York bankers for payment OF
American supplies foreign exchange
bankers said that England might be
able to put off the day Of reckoning
until the close of the war, at which
time she would be in a position to sell
securities to American investors and
thus avoid any payment of obligations
which would involve the shipment of
gold.

PARCEL POST KNITTED IN THE DARK
FIGHT WILL Be CARRIED INTO EVERY
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTBY INTERESTS
BY Congressman Edward Heating

Washington, d. C.-The express
monopoly will not be permitted to
secretly hamstring the parcel post.
Hereafter, according to Postmaster
General Burleson, the struggle must
be carried on in the open, where the
people of the nation may see and
note every move
In previous letter told how the
postoftice appropriation bill was
butchered during the closing hours
of the 63d Congress and why. The
bill contained a provision compell-
ing the railroads to carry parcel post
packages for Uncle Sam for approx
imately the same rate they charge
the express companies for similar
service.
That would have enabled this ad-
ministration to give the country a
genuine parcel post system and
would have driven the express mon.
opoly out of business.
The express companies cannot

press rate is GA certs.


Under existing conditions. the
parcel post can compete with the
express companies on short hauls-
say up to 25 miles Outside OF that
radius its activities must be confined
to small packages.
Despite these restrictions, the
growth of the parcel post has been
truly remarkable. 1t has been in
operation a little over two years
and 1t is now carrying about s00.-
100000 packages per annum. The
government is doing this business
for very much less than the express
companies charged before the parcel
post was organized and In addition
is giving express facilities to in
Vulnerable hamlets, villages and
towns which were ignored by the
express monopoly.
System Is Self-Sustnining.
General Burleson points out that
the enemies of the parcel post have
charged that it was responsible for
the prospective deficit in postal re-
ceipts.
mo more absurd falsehood has
had respectful consideration in re-
sponsible publications in my recol-
lection. Clearly it was fabricated
with the foolish purpose of arousing
a public sentiment in favor of re-
stricting or withdrawing the parcel
facilities now provided by the pos
tai service.
THE depletion of the postal rev.
enues is entirely due to the abnor-
NAL conditions caused by the war in
Europe"
In response to General Burleson's
broadside. the representatives of the
express monopoly and its allies
brazenly announce that they will
carry the fight into every congress
sional district. Friends of the Will
son administration will welcome the
contest.

Bryan Makes Plea
 For Peace olicy

SAN DIEGO, July 1S.-In speech delivered in this city last night. W. J. Bryan, former secretary of state, made strong appeal for national peace. His speech was eloquent, and was attended by a large number of people, including visitors to the local exposition.
 The speaker explained the cost of war, not only from standpoint of national finances, but from the standpoint of the individual citizen. He declared that a law should be passed making it necessary for any one advocating war to be the first to be enlisted In that way, he declared, the vicious operations of the 'jingo" press could be limited, for the publishers of such news papers would not want to the fight the wars that they try to promote.

 Mining operators who worked their ground chiefly by the use of Russian help are firmly convinced that the strike has a cause under lying the passage of the eight hour law. One prominent operator states that he is sure such is the case as he feels that his men would come back to him under the old scale Of wages and hours if they were not being forced to strike He believes, as do other operators and business men, that the Russians who are not bidden by some unknown force to go Outside will shortly return to work.
 United States Marshal L. T. Erwin places no credence in the reports concerning the activities of recruit. ing officers. He states that he mas had his men investigate all of the the Russians, but that the foreigners will say nothing beyond that they are afraid to go back to work. He further says that he has ascertained that one of the leaders of the Rus sians, who is understood to be a recruiting officer, has been working at Chatanika for the past two years.
