AMERICAN FIRMS
TO Be CONSULTED
English Foreign Trade Depart
ment Is Stirred Up Over
Outcome of Report.
INVESTIGATION TO De MADE

London, July 2.-The Foreign
Trade department OF the foreign Of
ice declines either to confirm or deny
he story printed here today to the
fleet that New York banks we're con-
ultcd by the British officials before
he blacklist was publishsA
unofiically II is admitted that it
possible that some such steps may
ave been taken. but the department.
lirectly concerned has no knowledge
OF such negotiations. Steps already
are being taken here by the Foreign
Trade department to consult directly
with number OF firms on the list
IN an effort to secure their removal.
The government is anxious to eXpe-
dite such inquiries and asserts that
no obstacles will be placed in the way
OF any firm desiring to prove its in
nocence.
Views OF Diplomats.
1t is not expected that the black
list controversy will assume the form
OF a protest before the return OF
Walter Hines Page, the American
ambassador, who is going to the
United States on q vacation,
While the theory prevails in gov
ernment circles that the act is purely
a piece OF domestic legislation num-
Der OF neutral diplomats hold thar
the act directly affects the comfy
Of nations,
These diplomats cite two treaties
in support Of their argument, the first
between the United States and the
Hanseatic republic providing for the
reciprocal trade returns between the
two countries under guarantees that
no discrimination shall be permitted,
and the second, the treaty between
the United States and Great Britain
Of 1885, providing trade facilities for
inhabitants and traders of both coun-
tries under guarantees that no dis
elimination shall be allowed.
Promises an Answer.
Ambassador Page will take home
undecided the mail detention issue,
but carries the promise that reply
to the American representations will
be forthcoming soon.
Almost every day the American
diplomatic representatives here have
been carrying complaints with regard
to the operation Of the mail censor.

Society has been unusually active

from giving luncheons and dinner
and motor picnics and swimming par.

travel to the uttermost parts of the
earth in search of coolness.

OMAHA Is AFTER THE
LOAN LAND BANK
Senator Hitchcock Tells Busi.
ness Men of the Plan to
Work Out.
OMAHA is LOGICAL CENTER

Just before a senatorial election
Senator Hitchcock is having hard
time to determine whether to boost
for a federal land bank in Omaha or
for Lincoln. Lincoln presented its
claims for bank before Omaha did,
The senator admitted this in a
speech before the Commercial club OF
Omaha He admitted that he hesita-
ted while. or rather acted deliber-
a.ely" with regard to the claims OF
Lincoln
Still | did not hear from Omaha"
he said. And in my own mind, con-
fess, was not convinced whether
such land bank would be OF any
great advantage to city or not.
Finally | drew up a letter to Secre-
tary McAdoo in which set forth the
claims OF Lincoln. Before signed
the letter, however. ! heard rom
Omaha and was asked to present the
claims of Omaha"
when the board is finally ap-
pointed" continued the senator, they
will hold hearings throughout the
country ! shall do all can to have
one of these hearings held in Omaha.
| have great confidence then l.: the
ability of the Omaha business men
to present the claims of Omaha suf-
ficiently strong"
For Cheap Money.
The senator spoke OF TINS land bank
law as Experimental legislation and
then fastened to state that he did not
mean that in disparaging sense, for
am enthusiastic for it," he added,
But he said this was undertaken on
so much larger scale than it had ever
been undertaken in any other country
in the world.
"The problem was" he said, ito
bring the cheap money into the local
ity where there is large demand for
capital. In strict sense these banks
will not do banking business. They
will not receive deposits. They will
be land loan companies on large
scale"
Requirements.
He went over some of the details
Of the requirements: That the bank
must have a capital of at least $780,
900 to begin with; that the govern
ment will own much of the stock; that
farmers in order to become eligible
to borrow this money must organize
themselves into local associations and
buy stock in the bank to the extent
Of at least 5 per cent of the amount
they hope to borrow; that the bank
will loan to the extent OF 50 per cent
Of the value of farm; that il is in-
tended that as the farmers associa-
tions take out stock in the bank the
stock owned by the federal govern
ment may be gradually retired until
the bank is entirely in the hands OF
the farmers, and that as the bank
goes on with its business it may issue
bonds and sell them to eastern capi-
talists at perhaps per cent, bearing
no tax, and that in this way it is ex-
pected to draw great quantities Of
eastern money to these banks at 4
per cent, while the bank can readily
loan it out at 5 per cent and sustain
itself on the | per cent margin.
Frank H. Meyers, former president
Of the Omaha Real Estate exchange,
presided at the meeting. He drew
attention to the fact that farm loans
in Omaha annually amount to $751;
10000, and for the whole state of Ne
braska about $30,000,000 He mapped
out what he considered an ideal land
bank district-Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas and Missouri-with Omaha the
location of the bank.

The Bees Fund for

II certainly want to be in on this, "
said one man. II consider it more OF
a privilege than a duty to subscribe
to help those children. Poor kids! 1t
isn't their fault that they lack the
things needed to bring their little lives

That's just the way scores Of good

Blessed through this kind Of t-2ns-

 the humble publisher of this pamphlet would like to know what he really did talk about. The picture he showed of Mr. Wickersham in Fairbanks paper was good one of MT. Wickershams regulation campaign picture; and if the editor hit upon clever slogan, the editor and Mr. Wiekersham both being from the Fourth Division, 1t did not signify "sectionalism'', as Mr. Sulzer declared.
 Not from the First but first in the hearts of Alaskans,' Is clever, apt and pat, and to attack it showed that Mr. Sulzer has a vein of petty jealousy in him not consistent with being the great man for which he poses
 It is Mr. Sulzer who talks sectionalsm when he advocates the secession of the First Division from the rest of the Territory. Oh, NIT. Sulzer, go way back and set down.
 Sulzer did not forget to mention Mrs. Lewis in his last speech Thanks, It was clever and adroit for him to stay out on the St. Nicholas until the learned Lena departed for the Westward
 Oh, yes Sulzer made great speech. He proved that he is the only man on earth that can differ with an oponent. That's the trouble with Sulzer. Alaska wants men who can differ from the opponents.
 At least Wickersham can use the English language.
 In the general evolution of Juneau the palatial Coliseum has become the political cockpit of the First Division.
