SAyS.DAY OF LOANS
BY STATE IS OVER
Eugene Schneider Reports
France Should Not Depend
on u. S. Advances.

PARIS, December 15.-France must
spend 5000, 900. 900 francs in the Unit
ed States during the coming year on
wheat, cotton. oats, coal and machin-
cry, says Eugene Schneider. who has
just returned from a mission on be-
half of the government to the United
States.
"The American state as a govern
ment," the Journal quotes him as
saving, cannot and will not advance
this sum. The day of state loans to
a state is over. 1t is essentially
war measure and it's continuation
would paralyze private initiative.
Unexpected Conditions Here.
"F'urthermore the situation among
our overseas allies is not as bril-
liant as people might thing. Unfore-
seen strikes have surprised public
opinion and President wilson's illness
is impeding the whole of the machin
cry of government. And there are the
discussions of the peace treaty. Those
discussions should be regarded in
their true light-that is. that the op-
position reported is not solely poht-
ical. For the. Senate's republicans
the league of nations represents
breach of the Constitution.
Government VIII Promote Credits.
This does not mean that the Amer
ican government will not help US. 1t
will support every effort we make to
obtain credit by private issue. 1t may
subscribe an important part thereo1
itself and place at our disposition the
machinery which fioated its liberty
loan.
"American commerce and industry are
not responsible for the exchange rate.
They are upset by conditions which
threaten the stopping of all business.
This unjustified rise continues to cost
France millions and benefits nobody.

pessimistic spirit than he. meant them.

American bankers for the purpose of

SEES CHANCE FOR j. S.
INVESTMENTS IN BRAZIL
Dr. Sampaio, Delegate to Financial
Conference, Studying Problems
of Interest to His Country.

There are wonderful opportunities
for the United States and for Ameri-
can capital to assist in the develop
ment of projects and industries al
ready established in Brazil. according
to DR.. Carlos Sampaio. professor of
engineering in the Polytechnic and
Nava; schools of Rio de Janeiro.
delegate from his country to the pam
American financial conference which
will meet here next month.
While in the United States he is
studying a number of problems in
which Brazil is especially interested
at this time. These include the utili-
zation of low-grade coal. of which
ton of dry-land areas, cattle breed
ing and raising and various engineer
ing water supply and sanitation
problems.
He declared that some of the rail-
roads in Brazil were kept in quite good
condition during the war period, but
that others, particularly those in the
state of Bahia. are in need of vast
quantities of new rolling stock. He
pointed to this opportunity for the
United States to find a market for
millions of dollars worth of supplies.
But the first and most important
concern for Brazil he said. ''is to Sc
cure stabilizat;on of the foreign ex-
change rate. On that depends the
financial and economic progress of
the country. AS long as there is un-
certainty as to these rates there must
of necessity be unsettled business
conditions.
"The Emitted States now is the CEN
ter of gravity of the, financial world.
For that reason the action which
has been taken by our minister of
finance in making the American dol
lar the standard in the collection of
customs duties. is a step which should
help to stabilize our exchange. The
gold fund convention. which has been
proposed by the United States, con-
stitutes a sort of an international
clearing house which will be pow
erfu1 factor in stabilizing exchange
throughout all the Americas"

LIBERTY LOAN MEDAL
S|zEHALF DOLLAR
Medal to be Given Workers
Described by De-
partment.

An interesting announcement from
Washington. in connection with the
coming Victory Liberty Loan cam
paign, is that the workers in the Vic
tory drive will be awarded medals
made from captured German cannon.
An official message to this effect was
received from the treasury department
by Ben f. McCutchcon. publicity direc-
tor OF the Liberty Loan organization.
Seventh Federal Reserve district, the
text of which follows: NJ
You are at liberty to make full
use of the announcement that the
treasury department will award
; medals made from captured Ger
man cannon to all workers during
the Victory Liberty Loan cam
paign. The medal is the size of
half dollar and contains on one
side reproduction of the treasury
building and OH the transverse side
certification OF Loan participa-
ton. Space is left for engraving
the name of the recipient" H
, Il heartily approve of this action
of the government in casting up honor
medals made from German cannon
to award to Victory Liberty Loan
workers." said Charles H. Schweppe,
of campaign for the Seventh
Federal Reserve district. 1T supplies
an added incentive to supreme endea-
vor and surely will have good effect
that will be shown in increased sales.
The awarding Of these medals made
from cannon captured from the foe
should result in bringing us a~full
of workers.
