Before the war the estimated wealth
Of Germany. said the premier. was
between $4,000 100000 and 10000, OOO,.
900 pounds sterling. So. II the whole
wealth Of Germany were taken. there
would not be enough to pay the &C.
count. Therefore. he had used the
words Germany should pay to the
utmost limit Of her capacity"
When the prime minister was nd.
dressing an overflow meeting, he said
Great Britain would be guilty Of a
great folly If she gave up her navy.
A voice interrupted: "Then watch
Wilson,"
The premier replied: "Well, l hope
to meet him In fortnight. l will tell

wherever the request comes from,
we are not going to give up the pro-

MORE THAN TWELVE BILLIONS
Farmers Of America Make Best Show.
ing in History of Agriculture
Says Report

Washington, Dec. 12.-With total
salue Of sl2,272.412,000, the nations
principal farm crops this year were
worth more, based on prices paid to

ASKS CONTINUANCE
OF ALLIED LOANS
SECRETARY McADOO URGES MON.
ETARY AID FOR RECON-
sTRUcTIoN PERIOD
MONEY TO BE SPENT IN U. S.
New Legislation Needed, as Present
Law Provides That Loaned Funds
Must Be Expended for War
Materials

Washington, Dec. 10.--Congress was
asked by Secretary McAdoo in a letter
made public yesterday to authorize the
continuation of loans to the allies for
one year after the termination of the
war to finance the purchase of food
stuffs and reconstruction materials In
this country. No additional appropria-
ton for loans to the allies was sought,
but 1t was suggested that the proposed
P-ace-time provision apply to the ST.
5OO,OOO,0OO Of the $1O,OOO,OOO,0O0 APP
propriated for allied loans which Sec
rotary McAdoo estimated will remain
unexpended when peace is declared.
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 secre-
tary also sought to have new legisla-
ton provide that credits extended after
December Is, be for purposes growing
out Of the war;" to make their use
more flexible.
New Legislation Needed.
The present law requires that the
securities OF foreign governments
which the secretary of the treasury
takes 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 limited au-
thority to determine the maturities
In view" of the prospective issuance 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 pur-
chases without these loans, officials
maintain.

The letter was addressed to Senator
Smith Of South Carolina. and Repre-
sentative Sims, chairman. respectively.
n the senate and house Interstate
commerce commissions. Mr.. McAdoo
explained that to continue govern
ment operation for Il months after
formal declaration of peace under
present conditions would mean dlsrup-
ton OF morale among employees and
officers. and could not enable the gov
eminent to go ahead with Improve
ments and purchase Of equipment. An

manent solution liz apparent.
Would Stabilize Raiiroadinu.
"There Is one, and to my mind only
one, practicable and wise alternative"
Mr.. McAdOO continued. land that Is to
extend the period of federal control
from one year and nine months pro-
vided by the present law, to five years
or until the first day of January. 1924.
This extension would take the rail-
road question out OF politics for
easonablc period. 1t would give com
,osure to railroad officers and en-
'loyes. It. would admit Of the prep
aratlon and carrying out Of n COM
prehenslve program of improvements
Of the railroads and their terminal ia
cllities, which would immensely in
crease the efficiency of the transpor-
tation machine. 1t would put back Of
the railroads the credit Of the Unit
ed States during the five-year period
so that financing of these Improve
ments could be successfully carried
out. II would offer the necessary op-
portunity under proper conditions to
test the value of unified control and
the experience thus gained would OF
itself Indicate the permanent solution
Of the railroad problem.

ing and landed here.
Lieutenant Hingsland informed an
Ardmoreite representative that he LETT
Camp Hicks at 1O45 this morning, ar
