the committee on resolutions:
THE Southern Commercial congress
favors the establishment of Il league

Lloyd George and other allied states

The congress believes that a perma

the successful administration of the
tasks and responsibilities that have
come with victory, and to make the
peace permanent. We, therefore, urge
the president and the peace commits
sioners of the allied nations to provide
in the articles of peace for permanent

Many members of the congress eX-

strongly urged, as one of America S

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Dec. g.
The largest and most beautiful water
fall in the southwest is unnamed, as
far as the United States forest SER
vice can learn. The fall is that of
the little Colorado river in Arizona,
between Winslow and Flagstaff on
the Navajo Indian reservation.
The Little Colorado makes a sheer
drop of 100 feet at this point. The
width of the stream at the precipice
is about 300 feet at a season when
the stream is at its higher levels.
The rock formations about the
falls are brilliantly colored, some of
the strata being red and yellow
which to considerable degree con-
stitute the unusual beauty of the

All Of the ships were warmly cheered
by crowds which lined the water front
and clustered on house tops. Craft
in the harbor tied down their whistles
to augment the welcoming din. and
fire boats shot streams of water high
into the air, while a police patrol boat,
bearing Mayor Hylan's welcoming
committee, circled about, photograph
ing greetings.
Two military bands played patriotic
airs as the steamers came to dock
Red Cross workers rushed aboard to
serve sandwiches, coffee, candy and
smokes to the returning soldiers.
The Sierra was the first to arrive,
tying up at her dock early in the
morning. The Chicago arrived shortly
afternoon. The Comfort did not dock
until late in the afternoon, and the
men were kept on board over night
The Comfort, which left ST. Nazar G

est voyage in months. Fears for her
safety had been expressed by officers
of the transport service, as for several
days, during the storm, no wireless

GERMAN ECONOMIC
CONDITION SERIOUS

BERLIN, Sunday, Dec. Shy the
Associated Press)-The commission
appointed by the present government to
work out a plan for economic sociali-
zation, has held its initial session, but
beyond organizing, it has adopted no
specific program of procedure. The
Berlin bourse and banking and indus
trial circles so far as the correspon-
dent has been able to ascertain, do not
expect immediate enactment of radical
measures. The impression prevails that
the Ebert Haase government has been
convinced that the present political and
conomic situation is inauspicious. This
seems to have been confirmed by recent
utterances of the leaders of both wings
of the social democracy.
Eduard Bernstein, who represents the
revolutionary government in the ma
tional ministry of finance, and who,
with Carl Kautsky, under secretary of
foreign affairs in the soldiers and
workmens government, shares the in
tellectual leadership of the Independent
socialists, in a speech last night, said
the most urgent problem at present
was maintenance of the nations econ
omic system.

ASKS LAW To MAKE
NEW ALLIED LOANS
TRepublIean A. p. Leased wirel


WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Congress
was asked by Secreary McAdoo. in
letter made public today, sto authorize
the continuation of loans to the allies
for one year after the termination of
the war. to finance the purchase of
foodstuffs and reconstruction mate
rials in this country. No additional
appropriation for loans to allies was
sought, but it was suggested that the
proposed peace time provision apply to
the $500, 100000 of the $4,000, 900. 600
appropriated for allied loans, which
Secretary McAdoo estimated will re-
main uneXpended when peace is de-
clared. Under existing law the United
States may lend to the allies only for
war purposes and during the war.
In line with this policy. the secretary
also sought to have new legislation
provide that credits extended after De-
cember Is, be for purposes growing
out of the war" to make their use
more flexible
The present law requires that the
securities of foreign governments,
which the secretary of the treasury is
to take in exchange for loans, must be
of the same maturity as that of the
preceding Liberty loan, from, which the
funds came. Mr.. McAdoo would
change this to give the treasury limit
cd authority to determine the matu1i =
ties. in view of the prospective issu-
ance of short term bonds for the fifth
loan.
Treasury officials have ascertained
that foreign governments are prepared
to buy great quantities of food, iron
and steel, machinery. cotton and other
materials from the United States, dur
ing the next few years. to aid in their
physical reconstruction programs
Since the United States has absorbed
much of the worlds supply of gold in
the last few years, the nations have
not the resources; either in cash or
ready credit to pay for their purchases
without these loans. officials maintain.
