Mr.. Farrell pointed that an invest
ment of over $4,OOO,OOO,OOO of British
capital in Latin-America had been
sent to Latin-America in the form of
goods of British manufacture, that the
interest derived from British foreign
investments which total $4,000, 000,-
600 in value, not only Offset the Unit
ed Kingdoms excessive imports over
exports, but retained and strengthen
ed the British hold on neutral mar
kets throughout the world The ad-
vantage of foreign investment of
United States capital, he said, were
evident in American trade predomin-
aEce in Canada, where about $780,
100000 of American capital has been
invested, in branches of American
factories, mining, timber and agri-
cultural enterprises, all tending to
develop Canadian resources and ex-
panding Canadian demand for Amer
lean products which were imported
into Canada in 1897 to the value of
only $57,OOO,OOO, but were, in 1918,
valued at 100000. In lesser de-
gree American investment of United
States capital had stimulated export
TRADE to Mexico, the Central Ameri-
can and Caribbean Republics.

BOOtblaCk Dies
From Starvation
$500 Banked

NEW YORK, Jan. 27-John Cnueo
bootblack, was found dead in is
room at IL Washington street, last
night. In his clothes were bank
books showing he had saved over 3d.
500. His death was due to insufficient
nGurishment, showing that he had
starved himself rather than draw on
bis savings.
Cnueo was a familiar figure in the
downtown district, where he was
known as John, the Bootblack." He
carried his shoe box around with him
and worked mostly in the ferry houses
aid sidewalks in Battery Park
His landlady, Mrs. BoIlenbach, had
missed him for several days and last
night she had policeman break in
his door. He had been dead three
days.

American Capital Must
Be infested in Foreign
Countries, Says Farrell

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 27-James A.
Farrell, President of the United
States Steel Corporation and chair
man of the National Foreign Trade
Council, said at the opening meeting
Of the National Foreign Trade Con-
v9ntion here today that foreign in
yestment of American capital was u
prime necessity to meet the keener
competition expected in world trade
after the war Until the United States
begins to finance the need of these
growing countries to which it desires
tc increase its exports, Mr.. Farrell
declared the title of world banker"
would not pass to the Western Hem
isphere.
Foreign investment" he said, lis a
commercial preparedness measure, a
source of protection for the whole
industrial fabric of our country,
should the world recede to political
commercial politics of trade restric-
ton. 1t is an element of strength in
our influence as a nation, should "a
wiser instinct realize that the true
guarantee of the worlds peace is the
provision of equal opportunity for
ALL"
I'VE can no longer talk of foreign
trade merely as an adjunct of domes-
tic prosperity" Mr.. Farrell declared.
THE fact has to be recognized that
there can be no stable prosperity at
home unless we are able 10 make lib
eral sales Of American manufactures
abroad The fact that in normal
times about 60 per cent of our exports
consists of food stuffs and raw mater
iaals gives a standard of measure
ment Off the enormous possibilities of
cur mechanical production. 1t would
pay us better to convert our raw ma
terials into finished products here
than to sell them for conversion
abroad. But our advance in that di-
rection will be relatively slow, with
out a constantly broadening foreign
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-01-27

outlet for articles of American manu-.
facture. 1t is much in the interest u
the workman as his employer that
provision be made for steady sale
abroad of the products of the mechan-
ical industry of the United States, in
fact the foreign business in many
corporations, since the war began, has
been the greatest asset, and the only
justification for the operation Of
] their plants on full time.
This profitable employment will
of foreign outlet will remain but
ability to market the product will not,
as in the case of war contracts rest
merely on ability to make deliveries.
Whatever may be the nature of the
competition, our manufacturers will
| have to meet after the war, it would
not be safe to conclude that it will be
less intense or less effective than
heretofore If it be handicapped by
the scarcity and dearness of money, it
will be stimulated by the pressure of
dire necessity. If the greatly increas-
ed burden of taxation and higher cost
of living force wage conditions into
closer relation with our own, tire
will also be the stimulus of the strug-
gle to regain a lost position that will
spur employers and employed to the
making of sacrifices undreamed Of be,
fore. The war has taught our epople
many things in the domain of econ
omic fact to which they did not form
erly give sufficient heed Not the least
valuable of these lessons IS the real
i2ation Of how strongly entrenched
are our competitors in markets that
some of us thought lay open for our
occupancy. When the curtailment of
European investments in South Amer
lean Republics brought their develop
ment to a tsandstill in reducing their
purchasing power we had an object
lesson in the conditions precedent to
the development of foreign trade"

CANDIDATE cox SHOULD
EXPLAIN

Editor Of the Journal-It appears
to me that the first thing Mr.. Cox
should do this campaign is to ex-
plain the Democratic plank on taxa
tion in the state platform.
| have read it very carefully 1t
clearly endorses the Warnes law so
far as concerns the appointment of
local tax assessors by the central
authority at Columbus: but it goes
on to say that meanwhile. without
surrendering our convictions, we
pledge the Democratic Legislature,
when elected, to enact no law that
will take away from the local taxing
subdivisions the power of selecting
their own assessors"
So, Mr.. Cox being once again n
candidate for Governor, it feels
bound to support the Warnes law, as
Cox is irreyocably committed to that
measure; but recognizing the oppo-
sition to Warnes law, the Democrat
ic convention does what?-Why it
endorses the stand taken by Cover
nor Willis and promises in effect not
to repeal the Parrett- Whittemore
law.
Was ever such contradictory nom
sense ever before written in the plat
form of a great political party?
Then, who can believe any pledge
made by a Democratic convention?
Four years ago the Democrats nomi-
mated Cox pledged to home rule in
taxation" but when Cox and a Dem
ocratic legislature was elected they
repudiated home rule" and gave us
the Warnes law.
Yours truly,
TAXPAYER.

the greenback plenty of
money for everything without

happy consummation devoutIy to
be wished by many fellows in
dire need. If theory were the
only needful thing, Mr.. Coxey
has it, and is able to proclaim it,
as he did in a short speech deliv |

RACING CAME TO
Get A REAL TEST
Attendance at Hawthorne Track To-
day Will Show Attitude OF Fans
Toward Revival of Sport.

Chicago, July 17-Now that the dust
of the revival of the American derby
has cleared away Chieago's race low
ers will be put to the test today with
the running of the second days pro-
gram of the Illinois Jockey club. The
attendance today will show whether
Saturdays crowd of 10000 or $4,000
merely turned out for the novelty of
derby or because they wanted to see
the bosses run with a side line of So
across the board on the favOrite nag.
The gate receipts for the opening
day tOtaled around 100000, or about
$40 900 shy of what was expected. In
spite of this, the officials. from Presi-
dent FrOehling down, are well salts
fed They hope to break even on this
meeting and pile up profit at some
future day when the sport is put on
firmer basis.
Today's card boasts six classy
races, with the Cicero handicap as the
feature.
Dodge, owned by Weber and Ward,
and ridden by F. Murphy, won the
American derby, the $4,000 race, with
which thoroughbred horse racing was
Saturday reintroduced TO ChiCagOanS.
r. J. MacKenzie's Faux Col was sec
ond and Franklin Dodge's Stablemate,
third. The time for the mile and Il
quarter was 2:04 3-5. Churchill, OF
Foxhall P Keenes stable, was the
only other starter.
Although gambling was prohibited
and a big force of deputy sheriffs and
private policemen were on hand to
enforce the order, number of book
makers did a fairly thriving business

of operating a handbook. They were
loaded in automobiles and taken to

on charges of gambling. All furnished

HOLLOCHER NEAR
GOING TO BRUINS
Islanders ShOrtstOp Comes Within An
Ace of Being Drafted By Cub
Scout Here Last Week.

Few fans in Rock Island know it,
but Charlie HOllOcher, peerless short
stop of the Islanders, came within an
ace of being drafted by the Chicago
Cubs last Friday evening, presumab-
ly to replace Mulligan. A G. Feeze.
advance agent for the Cubs, who also
acts as a scout, came to the tri-cities
Friday, primarily to look over the as
sets of Ray FaIk of Moline Falk had
d bad day and the scout was not much
impressed. Feeze came over to Roch
Island and some of the local players
eXtoIled the great playing Of Hollocher
to him. After looking up his record
Feeze was on the verge Of drafting the
boy when he received a long distance
phone call from President Weeghman
at Chicago in which the latter stated
that a man had been shared from the
American association and for him to
drop his hunt for an intielder.
HOllOCher belongs to Portland in the
Pacific Coast league. FeeZe reported
that Mulligan is playing erratic bali
and has thrown away many games for
Tinker's men. Hollocher is at present
leading the shortstops of the league
in fielding and batting.
