Need for the greater reliance on their
own resources is one lesson which the
European was has brought home to the
nations not involved. in the opinion of
Paul NJ. Warburg, member of the federal
reserve board, who spoke today at the
Pan-American financial conference.
Mr.. Warburg pointed out that when the
war began England, then acting as banker
for the world, felt forced to ask for some
of the vast sums due her, and that this
request was reflected in varying degree es
in countries that were in her debt He
spoke of the acute situation which re-
suited in the United States and else
where on this hemisphere, and added:
THE lesson which all American ma
tions will have to learn from last years
experience is that it is unwise for the
world to place its financial dependence
upon any single nation; and. that those
who can afford to do so. as for instance
the United States, should from this time
adopt a policy of greater reliance upon
their own resources Those countries
which cannot rely exclusively upon their
own resources should adopt a policy Of
dividing their risks Of financial depend

TRADE RELATIONS AMONG NATIONS
DISCUSSED BY CHARLES S. T1AMLIN

Charles s. Harnlin OF the federal re-
serve board. speaking before the ran
American financial conference To-Day
said in part:
"Sations today are beginning to rec
ognize that they have products. whether
of agriculture or manufacture, which
they can create in such quantities that
they are Obliged to seek and obtain Tor
them. or for portion of them, foreign
markets They further realize that they
must accept in great measure. as pay
ment for their exported products. goods
tnported from these countries purchas-
ing their exports or from other coun-
tries for their account. In other words,
speaking generally. every bale of goods
exported from a country must be paid
for by q bale OF goods imported into
the country.
THE actual payment may be made by
the delivery Of so-calIed bills of ex
change but these bills OF exchange, in
a very large measure. are but symbols
of property, or are claim for money
based upon the sale of property. The
merchant ships his goods abroad. but
he sells the bill he draws upon the for
eign purchaser to some domestic bank,
and these bills. representing property,
are used to Offset similar bills drawn
by foreign sellers against imports into
the country. II the exports and imports
of the country do not furnish bills OF
exchange enough 20 balance, then gold
or its equivalent is used. or. perhaps,
loans, but these latter play relatively
minor part in international exchanges.
Reciprocal Trade Necessary.
~1t would be impossible for a coun-
try TO shut itself OFF from other coun-
tries and still hope to continue its ex-
ports, receiving payment in gold in
stead of in goods. IL we assume what
is impossible of realization, that any
country could shut or It's imports and
continue to export. receiving gold for
its exports, within a very few years II
would cripple the exchange system of
all foreign countries by the amount OF
gold II would take from them, but long
before that point could be reached The
importation of gold would so raise
prices as to enectua1ly stop its ex
port.
Trade, as now generally recognized
means buying as well as selling, and in

Salvador has other proposals to make

Better Transportation.
AS to transportation, Salvador be-
ieves IT is necessary to have better
transportation facilities. At the pres
ent time transportation is unreliable
and expensive This applies to water
routes.
1t is necessary that the United States
should allow it's vessels which go from
Atlantic ports to Pacific ports to stop
In the ports OF Salvador.
Packing: One of the chief complaints
Of Salvadorean merchants against the
United States is bad and insufficient
packing This is bad to such an extent
that merchandise often reaches it's des-
tination in damaged condition. United
States commercial houses should pack
their goods in better manner.
Salvador recommends that all the
governments of the Americas do not
tax the merchant ships of the other re-
publics and accord them the same
rights as they accord their own ves-
sells engaged in coastwise trade.

officially made, will be, in substance
rs follows:
Commercial credits-Credits have
been given by the old countries 10
the new countries without limit IN
the past These credits have opened
the door of prosperity and induced
foreign capital to come to the country.
In commercial transactions Salvador
now wants years credit, ana that
in what is generally given SalVadorean
merchants by European countries. We
have not the capital available 10 Duy
for cash. 1t will not be possible 10
develop the commerce of Salvador uh-
less American manufacturers, mer-
chants commission and business men
give annie credit This is the oppor-
tune time for the United States TO IN
crease its trade and assist salvador.
Treaties of commerce. treaty %
commerce between Salvador ana tne
limited States should not be based on
the principle called exclusive, but
should be reciprocal. Salvador pro-
poses a reciprocity treaty, with prefer
entail clauses.
Monetary system-Salvador believes
In the establishment OF a single none
tary system on the gold basis as one
of the principal steps Tor drawing
closer together the American rePupiics.
Calyadorean Ioans-Salvador does not
heIieve IN would be feasible 10 place a
loan under present conditions in the

do with the increase OF buying as well
as with the increase of selling.
I'VE all recognize today the real in
terdependence of nations; they are
especially interdependent from the as
pect of trade and commerce. The
nation of large resources recognizes
that in the long run it is for it's own
profit to strengthen this interdepend-
ence by furnishing the nation of smaller
, resources means to meet trade indebt-
edness to 1t. 1t should never be for
gotten. however. that in the long run
this ndebtedness must be met by the
shipment of goods, whether from the
debtor country or from some other
country, for it's account, to the creditor
country.
States Foremost Question.
THE question. however, which must
be foremost in your minds. is just what
the United States can do in assisting
other nations to finance their trade
| movements with the United States and
with the other nations of the world.
The message which / wish to bring
| to you today, however, Is that the
| United States was never before In such
| a position s 1t occupies today to reach
| out and extend its trade by granting 6
| credit to those nations who wish to be
| its customers
Benefits Of Federal Reserve Law.
| Gov Hamlin pointed out that the
! federal reserve law authorizes national
banks to accept bills Of exchange
growing out of the import and export
trade, and their discount at federal re-
| serve banks
by this grant of power tho so-called
| dollar acceptance is made for the first
| time possible" said he. and this means
| much for the future development of
| our trade, especially with the great
| nations of Central and South America.
II will add much to our ability to as
| sist them In financing their sales to
! and purchases from the United States"
He referred also to the establishment
i OF branch banks.
branches of national banks have al
ready been authorized in Argentina,
| Brazil. Panama and other countries p
he said. and IT is confidently expected
\ that q great development in our trade
relations with such countries will re-
| suit"

LIST OF MISSING
 NOW NUMBER ELEVEN.

Three more names may be added to the list of missing men in South eastern Alaska. The Juneau papers have been asked to assist in finding information as to the whereabouts of Nels Peterson, Henry Johnson and Andrew Brown, who went out on a deer-hunting trip to Pybus Bay five weeks ago, intending to remain only ten days or two weeks.
 The men borrowed MT. Carlson's launch, the Sjofogel, as Brown, the only one of the trio who had owned boat, lost his launch when the City of Seattle bumped it at the Pa cific Coast wharf some time ago.
 MT. Carlson feels certain that harm has befallen the three men. They had intended hunting in the south arm of Pybus bay but as the launch Murrellet was in both the north and south arms of Pybus bay at the time Johnson, Brown and Peterson should have been there and saw nothing of them, they are believed to be lost.
 The disappearance of the three men brings the list of missing men up to eleven, three of whom, Wm. Christie, James Plunkett and Ole Moe are thought to have killed by Edward Krause. The others are l. H. Irwin, of the Federal bureau of fish cries. Charles A. Clark of Ketchikan, Mike DeCosta of Ketchikan, William Rangren, who has been missing from Treadweu since November 1, and Gus Bakke of Juneau, who has not been seen for many weeks.

 PLEASANT EVENING
Bazaar and Dance Last Night Brot Out Crowd which Filled Moose
 Hall-Financial Success.

The bazaar and dance given by the Ladies Guild of the Episcopal church in Moose Hall last night brought out a crowded house and realized neat sum of money which will enable them to continue their good work in car ing for the mission work in which they are engaged.
 The members of the Guild had been preparing for months for the ba- zaar and had many useful and pretty things to offer for sale. The fish pond was the main attraction for the youngsters and each of them appar- ently secured some toy with which they could make noise and have a good time. The fancy article booth afforded an opportunity of securing appropriate Xmas presents for their friends and enjoyed a good sale. Homemade cake and candy in abun- dance was provided.
 The dance which followed the opening sale was we'll attended, the big dancing floor of Moose Hall being taxed to accommodate the crowd when the strains of some popular piece called all to the floor at the same time.
 During the evening a delightful luncheon of homemade cake and coffee was served in the waiting room and contributed to the pleasure of the evening.

 FAILED LAND CARGO
Alameda Officers Report Alliance Was at Cordova Getting Fuel-

closed for the, winter and it is esti- mated that approximately ten thou sand tons of freight brought north for Anchorage has failed of delivery. The officers of the steamer Alameda reported last night that wireless messages had been received in Cor dova via Whitshed from the steamer Admiral Farragut stating that she had been unable to land her freight and passengers and that she was bringing them back to Seward. The steamer will also bring the barges to Seward.
 The steamer Alliance, owned by the Independent Steamship company, carrying fifteen hundred tons of freight for Brown & Hawkins store at Anchorage, was forced to abandon the attempt to land her cargo and has returned to Seward. The Ali ance had exhausted her fuel and was in Cordova when the Alameda was there and intended returning to Sew ard to discharge her cargo.
 Wireless advices from the Admiral Farragut stated that the ice prevent ed the small launches from operating and that it was dangerous in the ex- treme for the big steamers to ven- ture into Anchorage as the conden- sers filled with mud, preventing the engines from working and threaten ing the vessel with destruction by her anchors dragging when struck by the big foes of ice.
 General Agent Fred Tracy, of the Alaska Steamship company and Captains Howard and Locke. who were ashore at Anchorage. were un- able to get out to the steamer and will have to spend the winter in An chorage unless they elect to come over the winter trails via Portage Bay or Seward.
 Navigators are not backward in declaring that the commission used poor judgment in selecting Anchor age as a port, contrary to the advice of old timers in that part of the coun- try It is asserted that the Alaska Commercial company, with stores in Cook Inlet, refused to permit their steamers to operate there at this sea son of the year. The steamship men, after their trying experiences there this fall, believe that it is waste of good money to attempt to make An chorage a winter port; in fact old steamboat men declare that Valdez and Cordova are the only safe win ter ports in Northwestern Alaska, owing to Resurrection Bays open roadsted in a high wind.
 The Alameda reported the Kansas City, which went to Cordova to re- ceive repairs after being damaged at Anchorage, as leaving Cordova a, ? D. m. Saturday for Seward to finish discharging her Anchorage freight. She will come to Fort Liscun to dis charge one hundred and fifty tons of freight.
 After discharging her cargo at Seward the Alameda will gc to Se.- dovia to get the steamer Dora. which will be lowed to Cordova as she broke her high-pressure piston rod while going to the westward. The repairs will be made at the railroad shops in Cordova.
