General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Neither legiti.
mate business nor speculative markets
have been disturbed by the recent sig
nificant events in the foreign situa-
ton. In producing and distributing
channels, as in banking circles, eau
ton continues general, and many in
terests are still waiting, but there is
no lack of the confidence which is es-
sential to the economic welfare of the
nation.
That activity has abated in some
branches in about all sections is not
surprising in view of the unexampled
rise of prices and the limits to which
the buying movement, was previously
carried, and nearly everywhere COM
mitments for the far future are un-
dertaken with prudence.
Difficulty in obtaining raw materials
has not been eliminated, however, and
manufacturing operations remain hin
dered, with the shortage of skilled
hands an added drawback. Weekly

SENATOR BORAH AGAINST
OUR AIDING THE ALLIES
Win Support Plan to Defend Honor,
But He BaIks at Loan or Sending
Army to Europe.

Washington.-Sena Borah, men,
Der of the senate committee on for
eign relations, Saturday gave out this
statement, which is certain to create
a sensation in administration and con-
gressional circles.
1T is my purpose to support the
government in any measure neces-
sary for the maintenance of its honor
and the protection of the lives of our
citizens. But If the program includes
anything like loaning the credit OF
the government or opening the public
treasury to any European nation or
sending our soldiers to the trenches
of the allies or forming alliances with
European powers, l shall not support
that part of the program.
81 want to portect American lives
and American rights wherever and
by whomsoever assailed, whether in
Mexico or in Europe by one belliger-
ent or another. But l will support
no alliance, and that, in my judgment
is the thing for which a great many
people are driving rather than fol-
the protection of American citizens
Put another way this means that
Senator Borah, figure of influence
in the senate, is willing to stand fol
armed neutrality, but not for any one
of the other degrees of belligenency
that have been advocated.
Cummins, Norris, Kenyon and Jones
are regarded as very likely to fol
low Borah's example.
