Congratulatory Message From
Ex-President Taft

Columbus. Miss, January 7.--(Spe-
cia1 )-Columbus' wealthiest. oldest and
most distinguished citizen and Amer
icas oldest Elk Harrison Johnston,

at his home in this city. Hale and
hearty. he greeted scores of callers and

Many Geographic messages of con-

This consideration was in the minds of the
syndicate which recently absorbed the
latest Argentina loan.
IL is the understanding in the financial
district that British capital would have
beer glad had 1t secured this investment.
American capital did secure it, and in that
way has taken the first step in the a-
rection of furnishing funds to the nations
of South America, in the belief that this
financing will speedily increase the COM
mercial relations between the United
States and the South American nations.
One of the reasons why this view was
taken is to be found in the fact that the
syndicate represents cooperation between
financial institutions of New York, Chi
cage, Philadelphia, Pttsburg and Boston.
The amount is so small that any one prob
ably of the members of this syndicate.
certainly several of the larger institutions
which shared in it, could with ease have
absorbed this loan. But it was deemed
the better part to secure cooperation and
the making up of the syndicate was not
task of any difficulty.
Undoubtedly this action forecasts other
international financing in which the United
States represents one of the parties and
other nations the other parties to the
agreement. 1t is the common belief in
the financial district that before the Euro
pean war is ended and certainly after it
is over, the nations of the world which
are engaged in commerce and manufac-
ture will turn to the United States seeking
fresh capital with which to build up those
interests which have been impaired or
destroyed. There seems to be an impress
sion somewhat vague, and yet strong, that
II in the interest of neutrality American
bankers may not purchase the national
bonds of Russia while the war lasts, yet
as soon as the war is ended Russia will
turn with confidence to>the United States
seeking large capital, much the greater
part of which may be used to buy Amer
lean commodities with which to enable
Russia to restore and increase her indus
tries and her agriculture

This cannot be done with efficiency and
economy without a proper agency. This
bill establishes such an agency without
creating any new offices, and practically
without entailing any additional expense.
Tho committee unanimously recommends
its passage at an early date.
The great weakness of our nation from
the standpoint of national defense has
been the want of a definite policy and the
want of cooperation between the various
agencies involved. This bill makes up
for this weakness and will promote econ

dcrbtedly the syndicate which under
wrote s15.oO0,0O0 of the per cent gold
notes of Argentina was privately informed
that dispatches from Argentina report
that the wheat harvest and particularly
the corn CROP both of which grains will
soon be ready for the markets. seem now
likely to be the largest crops of this kind
ever harvested in that South American re-
public.
If the weather proves as favorable until
these grains are garnered. Argentina will
surely have very large harvest. IT this
should prove to be the case, then the
farmers of that republic will be, relative
~ speaking, affected in as beneficial a
manner by foreign war conditions as the
United States has been. There is to be a
very large demand from Europe for wheat
and corn, and the prices are so high that
the money returns to Argentina will prob
ably be the largest the republic has ever
gained from her harvests. Besides. the
movement of wheat and other food prod
ucts from the United States and Canada
is SO great and SO swift that the experts
now estimate that the entire surplus, both
OF the United States and of Canada will
be practically exhausted about the time
the Argentina grain moves to the market.
Furthermore. that republic will probably
be the only one capable of meeting foreign
demand of this kind until the harvest of
next summer, both3in the United States
and Canada, have been reaped.

vests must have been conveyed to the
