MAY n Y J DISCUSS s
EXIT lSION OF
CREDIT TO 5. A. !.
Pan American Conference
Will be Held in Washing
ton; in January.

Valparaiso, Nov. ls.-Chile ex-
poets that the extension OF credits to
South American countries by the
bankers and business men Of the
United States will be brought up be-
tore the Second Financial Pan-Amer-
lcan conference at Washington in
January. The first conference held
in 1915 declared that solution Of this
question Of credit was essential.
National credits also will DO consid-
Fred by the conference. In spite of
the enormous gold reserves accumu-
lated in the banks Of the United
States during the war. it seems evil
dent to Chiieans that these banks are
not vet in a position to make invest
ments in South America. Evidence
Of this is seen in the difficulties en-
countercd in negotiating the $15,-
100000 loan Of the Chilean govern
ment to obtain funds to buy railroad
material. 1t is felt here that. in the
matter OF public credits. North
American bankers should learn from
North American merchants.
Chilean business men believe that
North American merchants are be-
ginning to understand better the
mutual confidence to be derived from
tho extension OF so to 90 days credit
on bills against South American
houses. This has been the practice

ASK AID IN LIBRARY WORK.

Paris, Dec. >4.-Library work
among the American soldiers has
caused at least two new countries,
Poland and Czecho-Slovakta to ASK
American aid in establishing and re-
organizing their libraries.
Poland recently sent a deputation
to Paris to obtain information and
plan of work from Burton e. Steven
son, the European representative OF
the American Library association,
which handled the American army
library work.
Czecho- Slovalsia's request came to
Mr.. Stevenson in a letter from DR.
Alice Masaryk. sister OF, President
Masa,ryk. She assured him the COY.
ernment would support the work and
asked him to undertake reorganiza:

MORE LIVESTOCKS ASSOCI-
ATOMS ARE NEEDED

This is the season of the year when
farmers begin to think of the winter
business operations. Last year about
twenty cooperative live stock ship
ping associations were formed and
these saved the farmers thousands
of dollars. Prospects are now that
a larger number will be formed this
year. These associations have a
work to do in all parts of the state.
In one or two fruit sections they have
greatly benfitted producers. There
is more live stock to ship in all sec
tions than some people think and a
person is always surprised when he
investigates the railroad receipts.
Some people think that co-opera-
tive live stock shipping associations
are only for certain sections Of the
state. but this is a mistake. There
should be hundreds of these associi-
ations in Colorado and there is work
for them in every part of the state

"The Rights of Minorities." "

In the Post Dispatch Wednesday
Herbert Bayard Swope quoted Louis
Marshal as saying that "Nothing ac-
complished at the peace conference
exceeds in importance the Polish
treaty just signed with the intention
of protecting all racial, religious and
linguistic minorities. Articles 33 of
the treaty is a charter for the liberty
of minorities.n
Americans can say amen to that
judgment, and they can rejoice and
take pride in the fact that the prin-
ciples of our democracy are to be set
up and operated in the dark places of
the caste ridden Old World. But
while celebrating the conquest Of
liberty in other lands, it might be we'll
for us to examine the stewardship of
our own freedom.
What of minority rights here? Are
they being respected and protected as
originally intended? True, we insist
upon the equality Of all citizens be-
fore the law and freedom to worship
God according to the dictates of one's
conscience, but there are other
rights which, if they do not quite
come within this category, are, never
theless, just as inherent and ought to
be as inalienable. The threshold of
the home is as sacred as the vestibule
of church and the prerogatives of
personal conduct that in no wise in
fringe upon the rights of others are
a precious heritage of democracy
which should be cherished.
No such claim can be made for
American democracy to-day. In
some of our states the rights of the
minority have been ruthIessly tram
| pied and In others the majority has
been denied the privilege of express
ing Its will. To be sure, this tyranny

when we got to Brest, on our way
home and all that bum money was ex-
changed for real American money, all
that liberality disappeared and it was
guarded zealously."
That is one of the lessons the war
has taught. American money, any
promise to pay on the part of Uncle
Sam, is mighty valuable in the eyes
of a loyal, red blooded, patriotic
American.
That is why the Liberty Bonds
found 80 ready market, and that is
why the War Saving Stamps look just
like money. They are money--with
this added, the Government pays in
terest on $500 War Saving Stamp
while it does not on a $500 bill. They
are both simply evidences of indebt-
edness on Uncle Sans part and his
written promise to pay. There is no
record yet that he ever failed to meet
an obligation.
