Christmas Day at Potsdam Palace.
Berlin. Saturday, Dec. % (via Lon-
don, Dec. 26) president Wilson's
note. with it's recommendations that
the belligerents enter in some way
into an exchange of views on peacs
terms, has been subjected to continu-
Gus discussions and conferences by
German diplomats and statesmen
since its delivery. Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman last night dined with
Emperor William at Potsdam and
had an opportunity 10 learn the En-
rcror's opinion on the suggestions.
In addition, "A lively interchange OF
views is proceeding between the capl-
tails of the Central Powers.
The note will be answered only IN
agreement of the Teutonic allies. hut
It is already evident that the recom-
mendation is meeting with "A sympa-
thetic reception in official circles and
that there is good possibility that
unless the proposal is blocked from
the other side it may lead to the
bringing out in a statement IN some
form of the Central Powers ideas on
future peace.
Germany Sees Advantage
1t has been realized from the be-
ginning that a demand from the En-
tente for the publication of the Gem
tral Powers terms as a reply TO ths
German overtures might lead 20 the
placing of Germany and her allies IN
the unfavorable tactical position OF
showing their cards TO an opponent
whose hand was still concealed. and
disposition is manifesting itself here
to regard President Wilson's pro-
posals as offering a chance, otherwise
presented only by a conference, OF
bringing out a Simultaneous states
nrent Of conditions from both sides
without placing either at the disad-
vantage of making the first move.
A decision, however. apparently
has not been reached, and the opin-
ion that Germany may be willing 10
place a statement of her terms in
the hands Of a third party if her OPP
ronents are willing to do the same can
only be given as that Of individuals,
although of fairly influential indi-
viduals.
Real Neutrality" in Note
It can be stated with all positive
ness, however, that the view taken by
certain newspaper organs usually en-
rolled among pan-German advocates
of "ruthlessness," sweeping annexa.
tions and war to the knife" that
President Wilson's note is measure
inspired by the Entente, and in its
interests, is not held in official circles.
On the contrary, it is felt that
President Wilson's move was marked
by real neutrality and inspired solely
by consideration Of the interests OF
the United States, of neutrals in gen.
eral and the peace of the world, and
will be answered in that spirit.

From tn. Tribune buresu.I

Washington, Dec. 25.-A decision Of
the Federal Reserve Board which is ex-
pected to open the way for greatly in
creased credits for the Allies through
the Federal Reserve banking system
was announced to-day.
The Federal Reserve Bank OF New
York is authorized to enter into oHlcial
relations with the Bank Of England.
1t may employ the Bank Of England as
correspondent and agent and act Tor
il reciprocaly in this country
This is the first foreign connection
authorized by the board under the pro-
visions of Section IA OF the Federal
Reserve act, which permits the Reserve
banks with the consent of the Federal
Reserve Board TO open and MAINTAIN
banking accounts in foreign countries
appoint correspondents and establish
agencies in such countries wheresoever
il may deem best for the purpose Of
purchasing, selling and collecting oilis
Of exchange and to buy and sell with
or without its Endorsement through
such correspondents or agencies pills
of exchange arising out of actual COM
mercisl transactions
Nav Operate Here and in England
In granting the authority to establish
this agency the board has authorized
the Federal Reserve Bank Of New York
TO meintain accounts either for or with
the Bank Of England, so that operations
both in England and in the Unitel
States are permitted.
II is believed also that this is the
first official connection established by
the Bank of England with a foreign
hank The benefits of to-day's decision
es,ord to the other reserve banks If
tbov desire TO avail themselves OF
,her hut thus far only the New YORK
branch has applied for permission.
This action of the Federal Reserve
Roard is expected TO cneck the inhuN
~ cold from the Allied countries oy
facilitating purchases OF commercial
naner in London. While some OF tho
member banks of the Federal Reserve
system have foreign connections many
OF them have not. =,
The enormous importations OF gold
have given bankers much concern, but
until now exchange facilities have been
restricted by the Federal Reserve
Board. The recent warning against the
British Treasury notes caused the fear
hat the exchange rate might again
tumble as il did in 1915. To-day's de-
cieion is expected to remedy this sltua-
tion bv lending the facilities OF the
reserve system to the extension of
British credit.

Preparedness Base.
Chicago, June S.-A tentative draft
of the Progressive platform, framed
by q committee of leaders today,
shows that the principal appeal of
the party will be made on prepar-
edness, with Americanism as the foun-
dation.
The draft is short. not more than
1900 words in length. 1t discusses
preparedness under three heads, mil
itary" "of spirit" and industrial"
Under the spirit" comes Americanism
and under industrial preparedness
comes the tariff and questions of os-
cial and industrial reform.
Much Of the 1912 platform is omit
ted from the draft, but there is gen.
eral reiteration of its principles.
The draft was drawn by Dean Will
liam Draper Lewis of the University
of Pennsylvania, Chester Rowell of
California. James r. Garfield, Clifford
Pinchot, Herbert Knox Smith, William
Dudley Foulke and William Allen

MEXICAN COTTON TO
HAVE OWN GINS

Calexico Chronicle: Information re-
ceived from an authoritative source
on the Mexican side of the border
yesterday is to the effect that con-
tract is being drawn up whereby three
or four cotton gins are to be erected
in Mexicali in the near future, all of
them four-stand gins, and in addition
provision is made that an oil mill is
to be erected in that city by the first
of June, 1917.
Under the tentative agreement
which is being discussed, according to
a reliable source of information, lead
ing Mexicans and Americans are to
be interested in the new industry over
the line.
It is understood that the new gins
and mills are to handle the bulk of the
Mexican cotton.
Previously plans have been brewing
for the construction of gins and mills
over the line, but in times past COM
plications have arisen which have re-
suited in such moves falling through.

hand, the agreements for the proposed

CANTS FOR KNIGHTS
MIR. WHITES PLEA

To the Editor:
l have been, am and shall continue
to be nothing if not booster for I'M
perial Valley Day at the San Diego
fair, first, last and all the time. l
have always been and always expect
to be booster for San Diego, and it
needs no prophetic vision to convince
the most skeptically inclined mind that
our interests, industrially and COM
mercially are closely allied with those
of San Diego, and, when the San Die
go & Arizona railway shall have been
completed, which it will be, conf
IDENTIFY believe, in twenty-five years
from this date, we of the Imperial
Valley will feel the added impulse and
impetus of renewed industrial and
vigor and rapid development Of our
resources along industrial and COM
mercial lines, although San Diego
needs the ultimate completion Of the
S. D. & A. road, as it drags its slow
lengths athwart the 124 miles of dis
tance through mountain, vale and val
ley, infinitely more than the Imperial
Valley needs it. But to return to our
muttons:
We hear of proposed shipment of
a carload of cantaloupes to San Diego
for general distribution on Imperial
Valley Day, but net one word for
carload of cantas and one of water
melons to Los Angeles for general
distribution among the thousands up
on thousands of men and women who
will foregather under the standards of
the cross which will be gathered there
from June II to "a. haling from every
nook and corner of the United States.
At this great triennial conclave of
Knights Templar of the United States
$4,000 Knights will be in line repre-
senting the bone and sinew, the warp
and woof of Knights Templary of the
United States. Bankers. manufacture
ers, merchants, capitalists, among
whose home communities the gospel
of manifold opportunities of this Won
derful Sunny Southland and more
wonderful climate could and would be
spread to infinitely greater advantage
and more far-reaching effect by the
distribution of these products of our
sun-lit land, this time of the year, than
any other form of advertisement that
the human mind could contrive and
the most fervid imagination conceive.
An hundred times the benefit would
accrue and inure to the advantage OF
our great valley than could possibly
be derived from a distribution Of our
products anywhere else or on any
other occasion. And yet l am most
heartily in favor of sending carload,
or more, of our cantaloupes and mel
ons, not only on Imperial Valley Day
at the Fair, but on Knight Tempiar
Day On the oath, inasmuch as there
will be thousands of our distinguished
Eastern, Southern and Middle Western
guests present on that occasion.
Question: Will Imperial Valley take
advantage of an opportunity to adver-
tise its wonderful productivity, its IL
limitable resources. on the occasion OF
the great Triennial Conclave to bel
held in Los Angeles, June II to 24?I
Such an opportunity has never BEEN
and may never again be presented fors
our consideration. 1t is, or will be, they
ne plus ultra of all opportunities
which ever have been or ever will
be within our grasp, to be had for the
taking. EUGENE d. WHITE.

Market.

New York.-Four Norwegian bank
ers arrived here Sunday on the Nor
wegian liner Bergensfjord to make
credit arrangements for the payment
Of huge sums for material purchased
IN the United States. One item alone
is $200,000,000 for steamships con
structed in American ship-building
yards.
These gentlemen in their interviews
on arrival very carefully insisted they
were not here as a commission. but
as individuals. Other passengers,
however, declared they did form a
commission.
William Rose, o Boston banker, who
was on the same vessel, returning
from a trip to Norway, said:
ut is up to the American bankers
to get busy at once and establish
credit banks in Norway. This can't be
done too quickly
There were also on board the Ber
gensfjord seven Norwegian captains.
They are here to take over 4 large
number of big freight steamships that
have been built in American yards
for Norwegian concerns
Captain Hjalman T Bryde OF the

A CLEAN SWEEP
FOR REPUbL|CAN|SA

The Republican party must
make a clean sweepm this years
elections. Not only must Hug hes
he elected. but a Republican
House and Senate must be chosen
with him.
The present prospect is for the
accomplishment of All these re-
suits. The electoral college is
sure to be Republican.
The unhappy division of 1912
came at an unfortunate time for
the Republican cause. The mum
Der OF Senatorial seats which
that year fell vacant showed "a
preponderance i'll the Republican
states, where the Republican split
made an easy and uudeserved
success possible for the Demo
Gratis. These seats cannot be re
gained until 1918 and this tact
adds to the difficulties of Rrpub
lican campaigning this time.
This condition, however, is
serving AS spur to Republican
activities. Some OF the states
which elect Senators happen to
be also highly important by rea-
son OF the size of their elect oral
vote. New York, New Jersey,
Ohio. Indiana, Missouri, Call-
tornia. Massachusetts. West Viz
ginia and Connecticut have Sen
atoi ial contests this year. These
states carry 10 electoral votes
and will choose ten Senators. SIX
OF whom will succeed Democrats.
