| ARE GOOD THING
IPUBLIC VIEW IS
A ,MIS-CoNCEPTI0N
Unjust Develop Foreign Credit
to Develop Foreign Trade,
Says Big Banker.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 25.-The enor-
nous loans made to the warning coun-
tries of Europe are good investments
according to FeStus ]. Wade, a bank
er of ST. Louis, speaking 1t the after
noon session of the fourth annual CON
vention of the National Foreign Trade
Council which convened here today
He asserted that to develope foreign
trade, American business men must
develope credit among foreign ma
tions
"There is mis-conception in the
minds of the public concerning the
loans 10 the warning nations Of Eu:
rope, for beyond the peradventure OF
a doubt, these loans will be paid at
maturity and they will prove prime
investments for the public said MIR.
Wade The warning nations, you
must remember. have at this time
only borrowed three-fourths Of one
percent of their national wealth.
ITO develop foreign trade, you
must develop foreign credit, anC
YOU must not fear for the talthful
ness and fidelity Of the warning ma
tions. 1t is your duty as American
citizens 10 sustain the credit or the
nations al war as we'll as the neutral
and constituents 10 lend their money
TO these nations for two reasons
first because they are absolutely
sound. and, second, because It will
do more to develope the credit OF
this nation than anything else"
Mr.. Wade declared the Freeland
Aldrich bill adverted a panic in this
country in 1914.
Prevented Panic.
During the period of 1914. when
the European war broke out, and we
were all frightened and Congress was
stifled by the breaking out Of the
war" he added. "the Secretary OF
the Treasury put out $376. 900 OF
so called rag baby money. Within
less than four months, every dollar
of that enormous amount was paid
back and we are now receiving the
benefit of that munificent act"
He praised the Federal Reserve
Act and declared that while We may
not wrest the financial supremacy OF
the world from Europe. we will be 4
potent factor in it,
The first speaker at the afternoon
session was Lewis F.. Pierson, Of New

be established. He was followed by
G.. X. Mcintosh. of San Francisco
who advocated the extension Of Amer
lean investments abroad. R. E. Jonet
Of the Royal Bank Of Canada, in
brief address said that competition
in banking from America was vel
coined by the Canadian banks be-
cause I'VE consider ourselves part

cent of the business transacted by
his bank was done with Americans.
John r. Fitzgerald. former mayor OF
Boston, Mass, praised the Federal

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
FAILS ON A PROGRAM
ALL MATTERS REFERRED
TO STEERING COMMITTEE
Members Fail to Agree as to
Which Should Take
Precedence.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. - Demo
Gratis Of the senate. after Il lhree-hour
debate in caucus tonight over a ieEls-
lative program for the balance OF The
session, found themselves in such dis
agreement over measures that should
take precedence, that the whole sub
ject was referred back 10 the steering
committee with instructions TO report
10 the caucus at a later date.
Water power legislation and the
corrupt practice bill were among the
principal bones OF contention, many
senators expressing the belief that it
would be hopeless 10 put these meas
ureS on the program and declaring
neither could be passed by March 4.
The steering committee will lAeRt to-
morrow.
The sense Of the caucus seemed to
be that railroad legislation should be
passed. and the bill to be reported
from the interstate commerce commits
sion probably will be given right of
way tor immediate consideration as
soon as the. caucus can take final
action.
Whether he caucus will endorse the
railroad bill as framed by the com,
mittoe, without provision TO prevent
strikes or lockouts, pending. investiga'
tion OF differences, is question. The
President. 1t was said. still hopes that
the recommendation submitted by
him will be accepted.
Reported on Caucus.
In the caucus Senator Lewis, the
Democratic whip. reported to his col,
leagues the substance of conference
on the subject he had had to-day with
the President. He said the President
desired the conference TO know that,
while 1t is no purpose of his 10 dictate
4 course, yet he feels that the Demo
cratic party in the last election prac'
tically had contracted with the people
in view Of the acceptance Of the eight
hour bill which averted the railroad
strike 10 enact further legislation de-
signed to protect The public from pre-,
mature strikes or railroad boycotts and
lockouts.
Other measures. some of which must
be. sacrificed, but on which the caucus
could not agree tonight. include the
food control bill. the Porto Rican citi'
zenship measure, Il mineral land leas
, ing bill, which Involves the oil land in
dispute in California, the Webb bill to
permit domestic corporations 10 main
tain collective foreign selling agencies,
and the vocational education bill.

Countries May Hinge on

MEXICO. CITY, Jan. Secretary
Of State Lansing has sent to General
Carranza, through Charles B. Parker,
American charge d'affaireS here, a
communication in regard to certain
provisions which it has been proposed

also the article providing that civil
commercial companies cannot own

necessary to accomplish the purpose
for which they are formed, and placing
the, power to determine what area Is
necessary in the hands OF the e1ecu-
tive.
The communication says that II tho
latter provision were made retroactive

sion is made for compensation.

WILSON'S SPEECH.
IS CRITICISED
CANADIAN SENATOR
TALKS ON THE WAR
Tells Why Canada is Fighting
Says Wilson S sProposals
Are Impossible.

OTTAWA, Jan. 25-The peace pro-
posals Of President Wilson were crit
icised In the Canadian senate today,
! by Senator Pope. who represents one
; of the English speaking districts Of
the province Of Quebec and who has
been a member of parliament for
many years.
! Senator Pope, offered a resolution
providing that in the opinion Of the
senate of Canada, only represents
tives of nations which harv taken
part or have been engaged in the pres
ent war should participate in the ne
goiations for peace"
In support of his resolution, he said
that the horizon of the future has
been broadened to Canada's vision by
the great events which had begun
marching forward in Europe with the
! declaration Of war more than two
years ago, and by the decision Of Can
! ada 10 do her part in shaping those
events.
| Never before had any British colo
ny offered the sacrifice Of men and
money which Canada was making TO-
day. he declared. Observing that rep
resentatives of nations which had NOT
seen fit 10 participate in the struggle
were taking the liberty Of making suG-
gestions as to the terms of settlement
Of the conflict, he said he thought It
proper that Canada, which was sha;-
ing in the conflict, should express
! through the senate an opinion as TO
who was entitled to pass up terms OF
peace.
Why does Canada fight in this con-
! flict?" the senator asked.
Why They Fight
In the first place because We aIe
! not 100 proud 10 fight. In the second
place, we fight because We love peace
jand believe that only by fighting for
it we can obtain peace. In the third
place because We are British and be-
! lieve that Britain entered the con-
J flict with 8 just cause; and she was
! right when she went to battle.
! Possessing these convictions, we, as
! Canadians, decided to show the cou:'-
age of our convictions; and. called
Iupon to make sacrifices not alone TO-:
our independence and liberty but for
! the Independence and liberty of ma
lions of the world, great and small
by land and sea, we have gone forth
with our men and money to do what
! we are able to do
/ The President Of. the United States.
he said, had just declared to the world
that there should be peace without
! victory. To him, Senator Pope said,
that seemed absurd and 1t would ap-
pear that President Wilson thought
: lie still was lecturing students in col
, lege rather than speaking to grown
linen involved in desperate and vital
struggle.
efforts to accomplish peace in the
present instance were not greater
, than had been the success Of his
peace efforts in Mexico, the world
would have to look for some other
! man with some other method Of bring
ing about the termination Of the meth
DDS by which war could be carried on.
Senator Popo declared that the time
had not yet come for peace as proper
terms could not yet be obtained.
: Debate on the resolution was ad,
| iourned.
