WORLD ECONOMIC
COOPERATION URGED
Commerce Chamber Commit
tee Would End Friction.

The Committee on Foreign Relations
of the Chamber OF Commerce OF the
United States yesterday made public
a report on economic relations which
was adopted unanimously last Thurs
day at a meeting OF the organization
in Atlantic City. 1t Is the sense Of the
report that !nasmuch as "cIashins OF
economic forces" has been the cause OF
domestic and foreign disturbanc es
throughout this recently sadly dis
turbed world every possible effort
should be made to eliminate
economic friction, believing
that in the end the greatest good for
all concerned can be accomplished
through the development OF spirit OF
cooperation both at home and abroad"
If such cooperation between clash
ing economic interests is not brought
about. the report continues, the mill
tary successes of the world war viii
have failed in their larger purposes.
The lessons of military cooperation and
unity learned by the Allies and Amer
lea should be borne in mind and ex-
tended in the matter OF activities of
reconstruction and the peace work
lying just ahead.
The committee submits four chief
recommendations as follows:
"First-The endorsement Of the prin-
ciple OF international economic cooper
alton, which Is to include all nations
similarly minded.
"Second-The appointment Of a COM
mlttee for the development OF better
understanding and good will between
the United States OF America and other
industrial nations.
"Third-A declaration to the effect
that the business interests OF our
country stand opposed TO any policy
Of exploitation.
Fourth 49, A declaration endorsing
the principle of service as basic to a
proper international relationship"
The committee ends its report with
suggestion that the Chamber OF
Commerce cf the United States OF
America call Immediately an interna-
tional convention on the order OF a
similar convention held in Paris In
1914, thus enabling the worlds work
ers in economic problems to thresh out
the troubles confronting the opposing
economic forces.

Crazed Man Attempts to Shoot

close range that the powder scorched

Rico went to- the Beach street po-
lice station and made a complaint
against the man who had done the
shooting. This was an Italian laborer

Hassam's etchings are as etchings. The
latter I have not particularly admired
as have felt that for every true
etching stroke in them there were
forty strokes that were not true. and
one in forty Is not convincing
proposition to me. Then. too, Mr..
Hassams weaknesses of draughts-
manship were a. little too glaring in
tho etchings-chairs and tables were
too thin. and badly constructed, and
doors would not open, etc.
But in the Autographs there are
no such objections to be made. The
medium suits Mr.. Hassam very well,
and he is able to make his swift
notations," to use Mr.. Galatians
phrase, in a fashion most comfortable
to himself and consequently to us.
II would be absurd to pretend that
the artist has improved in drawing.
One does not learn drawing over
night. 1t is simply that there are
ways TO evade drawing, particularly
in impressionistic work, and Mr.
Hassam has awaited himself of them.
The Autograph of the Avenue OF
the Allies" Is one of the best flag
pictures of the many that Mr.. Has
, sam has shown us. 1t is abbreviated
but the essentials of the scene are
there, and there is the stir Of feeling
in 1t. Also the spotting OF the crowds
of people is excellent. / can't recall
one of Mr.. Hassam's street scenes in
which the people have been spotted
in so happily. A sketch of New York
skyscrapers is also an example OF
good spotting. The skyscrapers are
lonely like towers sticking up from a
plain, but they are well spaced on
the white paper. "Norman's Woe"
is a glimpse of rolling hills. that take
pleasant lines, and "Deshabiile" is a
lady lolling in n chintz-covered chair,
both the lad" and the chair being
drawn in such a way that they can
be accepted as we'll drawn. In al
most all of the Autographs the artists
touch is pleasantly photographic. 1t
should also be recorded as decidedly
in his favor that he clings as a
photographer rather to the Whistler
| sizes than to the gigantic sizes af-
fected by Mr. Pencil and Mr..
Bellows.

Of the things demanded, according to
synopsis OF the proposed changes
made public yesterday by John A.

twenty-five years Of service, the aboli-
ton OF the Indefinite suspension law,
the continuation OF pay during sick

that pensions to widows, orphans and

other revisions sought

the recommer dations they will he sub
mitted to Commissioner Enright, and
should he approve It is expected they
will be presented to the forthcoming
session OF the Legislature.
Twenty-four Inspectors Affected.
Should the effort to make all ranks
permanent be successful twenty-four
police inspectors would be affected.
Prior to 1907 their Jobs were secure,
but when Commissioner Bingham took

| tirement on n pension. but he also
must have reached the age Of So years
1t is now proposed to do away with the

ries in the department be put on n
permanent basis and that the Board OF
Estimate be shorn of its present
power to increase or lower them.
Relief for Suspended Men.
| Immediate action in cases where
men are suspended from the force be-
cause of alleged misconduct Is asked

1t may be that John Singer Sargent
is TO be numbered among the painters
that found 1t difficult to work to effect
during war times. Certainly the praise
was not unanimous for the portraits

now that he has returned to the land

In the galleries OF d. h. Butler &
Co. a number OF old paintings that
have decorative charm are TO be seen.
The canvases were purchased IN times
past by Mr.. Butler and have been
carefully cleaned and restored and in
some cases already put to decorative
uses by being mounted with mirrors.
Some are landscapes in the Italian
manner and one Of them has resem-
blances to Salvador Rosas manner.
Another canvas shows a convoy of
antique ships advancing over robus-
. tious waves that have been painted
very freely Panels of this sort were
formerly built in over doors and

practised by modern architects.
