and third floors of the vocational building were needed. The luncheon period should extend to 12:30 and aft CT that the students should report for study or quiet recreation until the close of the noon hour. MT. Slade said he proposed to communicate with the parents of the students who would be in the building during the hour, asking their consent to the arrange ment. After some discussion it was decided to refer the communication to the finance board with power to act.
 The question of contracting with the manufacturers who own the ma chinery in the state trade school to turn it over to the city was brought up. MT. Pease, who has a copy of the contract with the state and knows the situation thoroughly, said the manufacturers have already agreed to turn the machinery over to the city as soon as the contract with the state is released. Settlement of this problem was left with the com

ment loans But there is no doubt that the loans of one nation to another form the strongest kind of economic bond between the two. It is commonly said that trade follows the flag. It is much more truly said that trade follows the investment or the loan.'
 Need for Trained Men.
 Dr. Pratt emphasizes the need for trained men to handle foreign trade problems and urges their education along special lines. Schools and col 1eges so far have seemed unwilling to see the need, he says, or if they do have failed to give the thorough in struction necessary.
 Commercial preparedness advocated by Dr. Pratt would foresee that war profits are not permanent and that at the end of the war new markets must he sought by American business.
 Sales on Credit.
 Tt is possible" he says, that when the war and immediate readjustm ent to follow are concluded a large part of our present exports will cease to flow to Europe. It is probable that Europe will be unprepared to resume her purchases from the United states on a scale as large as before the war. Moreover the sales that will be made will be probably largely on credit for a considerable time. It would seem, therefore, to be the part of prudence for us to distribute our trade so wide ly over the worlds markets that the cessation of our business with Europe will be proportionately less impor tant.'
 The war has demonstrated, says Dr. Pratt, that the United States is not economically independent. The busi- ness public, he says, does not fully appreciate the financial crisis through which the country passed during the period immediately after wars out break. "It is not too much to say that the United States experienced the severest financial strain in her history during that period,'' he declares.
 Definite Commercial Policy.
 Dr. Pratt urges a definite foreign commercial policy by the United States. This, he says, is gradually taking shape under under 8 wise and careful administration. American in- vestments abroad are being en- couraged. But after all the continu- ing of a foreign commercial policy is not so much dependent on officers of the government as on the American

Dollar Exchange, a thing practically unheard of prior to this year, is assuming constantly en- larging importance in the financial world and is rapidly becoming popu- lar as a mean of meeting information al obligations"
 Two provisions in the Federal Re- serve Act, the report says, have been of material assistance to the foreign trade. One is the introduction of the use of acceptance and the other per- mission granted to national banks to establish foreign branches.
 Following European Nations.
 ''In thus establishing branch banks in foreign countries" the report con- tinues, We are following the lead of England, Germany and other Euro pean countries, which have used their banks as trade outposts. European exporters have been able, be- cause they had their own banking in stitutionS on the ground, to extend credit to their customers, when such credits were deserved. Our exporters have been hampered by lack of these facilities. More important than this, documents containing often the most confidential facts of our merchants and manufacturers have been open to the scrutiny of our competitors.
 Tt has been a rare sight to see letters of credit Or bills of exchange drawn in dollars. Usually the Amer ican merchant has done his business in pounds sterling, often paying the cost of conversation. The inaugural tion of branch banks obviates the ne- cessity of this practice and makes it possible to 10 business in dollars. With an increasing volume of dollar exchange and with an increasing num- Der of branch banks and American banking institutions, dollar exchange will become more stable. At present dollar exchange is preferred in the money markets of the world. Whether it will be after the restoration of nor nal conditions in Europe remains to be seen.
 Really Big Prizes.
 "We can never hope to realize the really big prizes in foreign trade until we are prepared to loan capital to foreign enterprises. The big prizes in foreign trade are public and private developments of large proportions, the building of railroads, construction of public service plants, improvement of harbors and docks, and digging of canals.
 New countries generally are poor. They look to older and richer coun- tries to supply them with the capital to make their improvements and to develop their resources. The country
 which furnishes the capital usually
 sells the materials and does the work The country that wants the l business must finance the purchases 1 The same thing is true, but less directly, in the case of govern

 NATIONS OF WORLD
Economically, Industrially and Financially, Says Dr. Pratt

Washington, Jan. 5.-How the United States through the accident of a world war has moved from it's place as commercially provincial and sec ondary power to the rank of first inn ,portance among the great nations of the world-economically industrially and financially-is told in detail in the first annual report of Dr. Edward E. Pratt, chief of the Foreign and Do- mestic Commerce Bureau of the De- partment of Commerce.
 What the country has gained tenn porarily through the fortunes of the European conflict, says the report, it can hope to hold in the commercial struggle that will be resumed at the conclusion of peace only by the most far-sighted commercial preparedness Two grave problems face development , and maintenance of foreign trade The first is declared to be that of finance and the second that of train Ing men for the work
 London Clearing House.
 The financing of our foreign trade" it says land in fact by far the larger part of the financing of :. the worlds trade, has hitherto been done through London. During the last hundred years London has been the worlds financial market She has held her position not because of prestige merely, but because the ma tions of the world needed an interna- = tional clearing house and London supplied that At the same time London became the clearing house chiefly because she supplied large part of the capital for public improve ments and large private enterprises.
 ''The United States never has taken any large part in financing foreign trade because of the comparatively small part of that business carried on here and because also of the unfa- miliarity of many of our bankers with the methods of international finance. Nor has the United States taken any large part in supplying capital to other countries. On account of m ore profitable investment at home We have chosen to invest here rather than abroad This also has been true be- cause of our position as a debtor na- tion, but probably also to a consid- erabIe degree because of a mental debtor-nation attitude on the part of our f1nanciers.

WILL NEGOTIATE FOR
 STATES MACHINERY
Transfer Of Trade School to VOCa-
 tiOnal Delicate Matter

At it's special meeting yesterday af- ternoon called to take action regard ing opening of the Vocational High school the school board gave up a lot of time to the discussion of a pro- position submitted by the state board of education relative to the transfer of the equipment and machinery froul the State Trade school to the new building on BaSSett street The Com- mittee on school accommodations pre- sented the communication from the state board and it was hoped that the business could be completed at once, but the state boards proposi- ton, which is in the nature of a contract, made the board cautious and much discussion resulted The State Trade school contains equipment and machinery belonging to three parties Some of the eOuipme ent belongs to the American Hardware Corporation, which owns the building, other ma- chinery is the property of the state and the remainder is owned by New Britain manufacturers, who leased it to the state when the school was first opened.
 The state boards proposition, which deals with the state owned equipment. was the matter upon which the committee on accommoda- tions looked for action, but after much discussion, Chairman Gaffney suggested the following resolution which was adopted: That the com- mittee on school accommodate be authorized and empowered to nego- tiate with the State Board of Educa- tion regarding all matters which may arise regarding the transfer of tools and equipment from the State Trade school itself, as now conducted by the State Board of Education, to the Vocational High school. The con- mittee. will report it's action on this resolution at the regular meeting of the board next week Friday.
 States Proposition.
 The states proposition which was submitted after letter had been sent to the State Board of Education through Superintendent Holmes, off ering the use of the new Vocational High school to the state until Au- gust 1, follows:

UNDERWOOD TARIFF
IS HOSTILE 70 THE
FARMERS INTERESTS
Union Leader Asks Congress to
Get Back to the Soil
With Protection
Would Raise PIow to the Level Of
the Factory.

Henry N. Pope, president Of the As
sociaHon Of State Farmers Union
Presidents, has issued a statement in
pamphlet form TO members Of the union
pointing out determinations in the Un-
derwood tariff against the agricultural
interests faVoring protection on all
farm products and demanding a revi-
sion Of the tariff so that the farmers
win not be compelled to sell in a free
market and buy in protected one. In
discussing the subject the head Of the
union said: "The effect of the Under
wood tariff acts to protect capital and
labor engaged in manufacturing and
to expose to world competition capital
and labor engaged in producticn.~ 1t
is perhaps the most antagonistic
expression congress ever made toward
the agricultural interests Of this ma
tion, and had not the European war
arrested its operation, would have
wrought disaster to the farmers Of the
country. This tariff gives a protec-
ton Of approximately six billion dollars
per annum to capital and labor en-
gaged in manufacturing, but gives no
protection to the farms. When released
from war influences this tariff will
reduce the selling price of farm prod
ucts approximately a billion dollars
per annum. 1t brings capital and labor
employed on the farm in direct compe-
tition with free lands In primitive
countries and compels the farmer to
compete with wild men who live in
trees and caves and raise their chill
dren in nakedness and ignorance. The
only purpose and the only result of
taking agricultural products off the
protected and placing them on the free
list was to reduce the price. The act
was therefore deliberately unfriendly
to the farmers Of the nation. The next
session Of congress should revise the
tariff and get back to the soil with
protection. Giving to the pillow the
same friendly consideration that is
now given to the factory.

MARKET
TO INCORPORATE
Plans Being Made to Secure
Permanent Home for
the Institution.

At a meeting held last night in the
market room the farmers doing bust
ness at the Boise public market unan-
imously decided to form public mar
ket organization and incorporate, so
as to be in a position to legally enter
into a lease for a permanent market
home. At last nights meeting plans
were considered for the construction
OF a special building to permanently
house the farmers public market, the
present spacious quarters in the En-
pire building already being found too
small, and of course being only tenn
porary, at best. When seen concern
ing the matter today, Director Scholtz
of the state department of farm mar
kets said:
1--WE have a number of propositions
under consideration at this time, both
for the occupation of buildings al
ready constructed and for quarters to
! be especially arranged for the needs
of the market. We are going to be
very careful in deciding upon a per-
manent location, realizing that loca-
ton will be one of the main factors
| in the building up of successful and
stable market on the other hand,
however, we also realize that with over
five thousand patrons each week for
fine two days the market Is now held
with the market still practically in its
infancy, we can pretty nearly succeed
in moving the shopping center of the
town to almost any location within
quite a few blocks radius as long as
the market is kept north of Main
street. For this reason We are not
going to let the location overshadow
everything else when it comes to maxi
ing a decision"
The meeting last night was arranged
as a combination business and social
meeting the business meeting being
preceded by a big supper and social
time. The business meeting lasted
until II o'clock, concluding with the
election of an organization and incor-
poration committee of six to work

consisting of the following: w. H
