been accused of seeking to exploit
public contracts in the Dominican Re

Sullivan, American minister to that re-
public, as having said he expected to
share what profits he made in the al
legged exploitation with Secretary of
State Bryan, Martin H. Glynn, former
Governor of New York, and Represent

government contracts which he said
Beer had represented to him were to be

first person that has cast reflection
in this inquiry upon Mr.. Bryan"
We'll. Mr.. Beer had great weight
with me-" replied the witness. though

Report just what Beer said" in
structed Mr.. Phelan. This time Davis
said that Beer had used the words "a
person of no less Importance than the
Secretary of State" After further ques-

Beers statement as silly rot.
You really didn't believe that a Sec

PRATT SHOWS BANKERS

| CHICAGO. H., January 2l.-FTom a

| by the United States as direct result
| of the European war, said L. +. Pratt.
| chief of the bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce, Department of Com
| merce. last night before the Illinois
| Bankers Association. His subject was
Financing Foreign Trade
The first ultimate effect of this war
/ said Mr.. Pratt. and one which does not
depend upon it's duration. will almost
, Immediately be an increase in interest
rates III Europe. This war will be sue
ceeded by periods OF high interest and
intense demand for capital for recon-
struction purposes. The railroads alone
will need vast sums The stock of
capital is being depleted. and it Is more
| than likely that financial exhaustion
rather than military exhaustion Will
determine the final result.
Men and Money Sacrificed.
We must not forget that during the
war Europe Is not only sacrificing her
capital. but her labor force we'll.
The very best men in the belligerent
nations are being killed and manned,
or are dying or weakened from disease.
These men are not the unemployed and
unemployable: they are the rank ana
file of the industrial armies in these
countries, and many are the skilled
aborers who have made the goods
which have been sent into the markets
at home and abroad.
There will be actual shortage of
men after the war, and the demand for
efficient labor will naturally increase
wages. Labor as u whole will be less
efficient and hence more costly.
These two factors of high interest
and high labor cost will raise the level
of prices in Europe and place the Unit
ed States more nearly on par with the
European nations than ever before.

South American Situation.
Discussing the south American trade
condition, he compared it with the
condition which confronted our south
crn cotton growers when the war broke
out. There is no one to purchase the
goods. The countries to the south. he
said. are producers of staple raw ma
terislls They buy the manufactured
products of other nations with the
proceeds of the sales of their raw ma
terials.
The situation there is serious and
demands immediate and far-reachlng
action on the part of the United States.
We must work out methods to enable
the countries of Latin America to mar
ket and carry their products. We must
work out methods of financing our own
trade with South America and Central
America.
The principal suggestions for this
purpose are: The extension of longer
credits to purchasers of our commodl-
ties: the organization of a pool to
make specific advances: the purchase
of South American securities. invest
uents in lands, mines. railroads. pub
lie service corporations. etc. and the
esta blishment of American banks.
