TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Oct. .25.-CoRN-Fresh upturns
in the price of corn resulted today from

Washington, April 24.-Coincident-
ally with the arrival in Washington
Sunday of the British Commission Of
twenty members headed by the Right
Honorable Arthur j.. Balfour, for a
series Of war conferences with the
American government, It becomes
known that President Wilson intends
to offer voluntarily his assurances
that the United States will make no
separate peace with Germany. The
President will state to Mr.. Balfour
that the United States intends to
fight until 1t achieves these three OBJ
jects:
The recognition of the rights Of
Americans on the high seas;
The destruction Of the Prussian au-
tocracy, deemed a menac to demo
cratic government and the permanent
peace of the world;
The security Of the United States
and from the plots of imperial ag-
tack from the German government
and from the plats of l>Snerial ag-
grandizement engineered by be-lin.
Arthur James Balfour, secretary of
state for foreign affairs of the empire,
formerly premier, and often called the
dean of the worlds elder statesmen,
was the central figure of a party that
included some Of Great Britain's most
prominent men.
with a genial smile playing over
his features, he consented to a brief
interview, warmly expressing his ap
probation of all the United States
has done as a neutral in charitable
and relief work in Belgium and in
German prison camps, his qualification
that England and the United States
now were allied for a common pur
pose, and his conviction that this
country in its war efforts would as
found the world, particularly Ger
many.
The object of the commission, Mr.
Balfour said, was ito make co-operat
ton easy and effective between thos'
who are striving with all their powe
to bring about a lasting peace by tn,
only means that can secure it-name
ly, a successful war.
your President, in a most apt ant
vivid phrase Mr.. Balfour added, "ha
proclaimed that the world must b.
made safe for democracy; that sell
governing communities are not to b.
treated as negligible simply becaus
they are small; that the ruthles

James II. Mann Is again the minority
leader in the hOuse-a place he has

the sixty-fourth congress was a factor

the result that the Democratic major

The business interests of this u
try should awaken to what foreign
manufacturers are planning for post
war conditions. 1t Is practically con-
coded that Great Britain, the great open
market of the world, will impose a
tariff on practically all manufactured
articles imported after the war. Ma
lions that have had duties are prepar-
ing to increase that tax and we must
take steps to protect ourselves.
Already, the manufacturers Of this
country are receiving invitations to es-

COUNTRY MUST AT ONCE BUILD
MERCHANT MARINE.
Little Doubt That People Are Willing
to Pay for the Vessels When the
Shipping Board Has Evolved a
Comprehensive Plan.

It is not the ship owners that should
be subsidized. They can today, and In
the future, build as cheaply here as
their foreign competitors cheaper. as
soon as STANDARDIZATION In ship types
Is worked u They can borrow capt.
tal as cheaply as the foreign ship own
ers. 1t Is their labor that is dear. The
opposition Of organized labor against
Subsidies" will vanish with the diver
sion Of these subsidies to labor itself.
The La Toilette seamen's act, which
ship owners rail against, was not bad
In itself; 1t worked out badly because
congress mas not accepted the cOnse-
quences of that act and provided Amer
lean wages for the American seamen
whom that act was designed to pre-
scribe. Progress lies not in repeating
that law but In following II up.
The West has learned that an Ameri'
can transportation system cannot stor
at the seaboard. We all know today
what a merchant marine means. We
are willing to pay the price for 1t. We
formed the shipping board to tell us
fearlessly what to do. Now 1t is VI
to that board.
