Exploitation of Labor Has
No Place i'm Reconstruct
ton, Says Colver

CLEVELAND, Nov. 21--Special priv
ilege and exploitation Of resources and
labor can have no place in the recon
struction programme, said William B.
Colver, chairman Of the Federal Trade
Commission, in an address here to-day
at the annual convention of the Amerl-
can Speciality Manufacturers Associa-
tion- Pointing out that the United
States is now creditor nation. Chair
man Colver warned against radical
change in the balance of trade in this
nations favor through an excess of ex-
ports over imports.
"a reconstruction programme for the
United States," said Mr.. Colver, "look-
ing to the building on top Of the pres
ent credit balances, unending noun
tains of international credits, will tend
not only to make the United States the
most hated nation in the world, but to
mark her for destruction. 1t means
commercial imperialism"
Outlining the possibilities of foreign
trade after the conclusion of peace,
Chairman Colver said it would be nee
cssary for American business man to
acquire a knowledge of the business
methods, the people and the needs and
tastes of those with whom he would
trade. The theory that "the customer
is always right" must be accepted, he
said.
Reconstruction plans must proceed,
he asserted, with an understanding of
the changed relationships resulting
from the war. The nation enters the
reconstruction era with two debts-the
debt of money and the debt of blood.
eThese two debts must be liqui-
Dated" Mr.. Colver told the manu-
facturers. "The money debt must be
paid. This would seem to mean that
an end had come to the exploitation of
the nations natural resources, and that
the surplus above a generous return for
capital and energy and initiative shall
be devoted to the liquidation Of the ma
tional debt.
"The second debt, the blood debt
owing to our millions Of young sol
diers Of the army of liberty and no less
to their mothers and their wives and
children, must be paid by making this
country and, in so far as our voice
shall be heard, making the world safe
for democracy--which is to say, safe
for human rights, the right Of every
child to be we'll born, we'll fed and wei
clothed, and the right Of every child te
have fair opportunity in life"

Banks Warned Not to Lend
Money to Enemy Industries
American Defence Society Start Campaign Against Use
of Capital to Finance Institutions Conducted by
Former Foes of America

Opposition to the use of American
cash to build up German industries
will be offered by the American De-
fence Society through a programme of
publicity adopted by that organization
yesterday.
IN 8 statement issued by Richard M.
Hurd, head of the defence body. notice
was served on American banks that if
they loaned the money Of their depos-
itors for such purpose without first
obtaining the consent of the depositors
the facts would be obtained and made
public by the society. 1t is believed
that the mere threat Of such action
will prevent the advance of money to
enemy owned industries by banks in
the United States.
"The principle involved is quite
clear" said Mr.. Hurd- "For managers

Hearing Ordered
To-day on Recount
Governor
Smith and Erwin Required
to File Objections to
Immediate Argument

Justice John Proctor Clarke, presid-
ing in the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court yesterday signed an or
der requiring Alfred E. Smith and
Charles W. Erwin, candidates for Gov
ernor, and the Board of Elections to
show cause this afternoon at 2 o'clock
why an appeal from part Of Justice
Philbin's order requiring an inspection
of the ballots cast in the last general
election should not be argued at once.
Justice Philbin ruled that Governor
Whitman is entitled, under the law, to
an inspection of the ballots in the 1st
Judicial District. but that he must wait
until the State Board of Canvassers
has issued a certificate of election to
the successful candidate for Governor.
who on the face Of the returns is Alfred
E. Smith, the Democratic candidate, by
at least 5000 votes. This would defer
the inspection until about January.
1 The application yesterday for the
order was made by Herbert r. Linn
burg, of counsel for Governor Whit
man. 1t was opposed by Abram I. Ell
kus, James A. Foley and John Godfrey
SAKE, counsel for Mr.. Smith.
In an affidavit signed by Emil r
Fuchs, the Governors attorney of rec
ord, it is alleged that the effect of the
order of Justice Philbin is to post
pone the examination Of the ballots for
at least month, and to prevent the
petitioner from having recourse to any
legal proceedings to which he may be
entitled prior tc the issuance Of the
certificate of election"
In addition to the action before the
Appellate Division. Governor Whitman
made ready for an application for an
order to-day in Brooklyn for judicial
review of all Of the void and defective
ballots in this city, to be followed i'm
mediately by similar applications in
all of the counties of the state.
The intention of the Smith people
to prevent an inspection of the ballots
in the boxes at the station houses was
made evident yesterday when they ap-
pealed from all of the directions con-
tained in Justice Philbin's orde, that
the Whitman lawyers had not appealed d
t from. They object to the inspection
of more than one ballot box at time,
and they want a Supreme Court Judge
to supervise the inspection The Whit
man lawyers, in order to expedite mat
ters, asked for the inspection of ff-
teen boxes at time, the work to be
done under the supervision of the
Board of Elections. Justice Philbin's
order provides for this.

poses to use every means in its power
to learn which American banks, if any
lend money to Germany and to make
the fact public"
This action of the organization be-
came known at the time it was made
public, through Washington dispatches
that German industrial leaders were
organizing for the purpose of captur-
ing South American trade, now in the
hands Of the Allied Powers. A far
reaching propaganda is being spread
throughout South America, it was said
to pave the way for dumping great
quantities of German made merchandise
upon South America, at prices actually
below the cost of manufacture in some
cases, it was said. The purpose Of this
plan, as explained by American busi-
ness experts, is to gain foothold and
drive out competitors, after which the
credulcus consumer will be forced to
repay the German manufacturers for
their temporary losses.
Both the Merchants Association of
New York and the American Defence
Society, through their various commit
tees, are investigating the methods of
the German pro 'agandsts and will
combat them with publicity.

Seized by Government

Frank x. Anglim, representing the
Alien Property Custodian yester-

S576,50O. The stock, 1000 shars Of

The sale of the International, of

of the German owned or controlled in

These formed an important link in the
German financial and political system
and afforded the enemy rare opportu-
mites for spying on American military
and industrial movements long after
the United States entered the war

ers immense influence was brought to
bear, it being necessary among other
things to obtain the veto of Governor

this state nine years ago. Until the
