Compromise on Preamble

The other chief point Of comment
has been the preamble, and on this
there has been much less divergence
of view. Republican papers have
conceded that it was not vital and
might we'll be altered TO meet the
wishes Of the Allies. AS The Phila-
delphia Press" says.

Of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations is the only impeachment to

SEES CHAOTIC EUROPE
Herbert Hoover Warns Of Men
ace Of Reds.
Only Greatly Increased Production
Can Prevent Great Loss OF
Life, He Says.

London - Unless European pro-
ductiyity can be rapidly increased,
there can be nothing but political,
moral and economic chaos finally in
terpreting itself in loss of life on a
scale hitherto undreamed of, says
Herbert Hoover, in an article in the
British National Food Journal.
1.-THE entire surplus productivity of
the western hemisphere is totally in
capable of meeting the present de-
ficiency IN European production if it
is long continued" he asserts.
Nor could credits be modified for
this plSpose for more than a short
period because all credits must neces-
sarily be simpy an advance against
the return Of commodities in exchange
and credits rsll break down the in
slant that the return of commodities
becomes improbable. Further, if such
credits be obtained for more than
temporary purposes it would result in
economic slavery of Europe to the
western hemisphere and the ultimate
end would be war again."
Mr.. Hoover points out this solution
of the European economic problem:
"A vigorous realization of the actual
situation in each country of Europe
and resolute craftsmanship based
on such a realization-the populations
of Europe must be brought to real
ization that productivity must be In
stantly incres sed.''
In the prasent-day European fer
ment, Mr.. Hoover says. 'every eco
nomic patent medicine" has fiocked
under the banner of socialism or COM
munism, which has claimed to speak
for all the down-trodden--to alone be-
speak human sympathy"
Experimentation in varying forms
of these political leanings
and communism-has so far, in every
case, resulted in reduced production,
the food controller says. Europe's
threatened food famine, he says, Is
due lin the largest degree to the hui
man factor of the limitation of effort"

Miles to tFe Azores With
OFT Fuel.

Ponta Delgada.-0n account of
water in its fuel oil supply the United
States destroyer Maddox ran short of
fuel 1000 miles from, the Azores and

of using its awnings for sails.
The Maddox has just arrived safe

The Maddox, while acting as a
guard ship on the recent transatlan-
tic air flight sighted the disabled oil
tanker Maunlee in distress in a gale.

TEN MILLION COMING
Europe Expects Greatest Exodus
in History.
United States Warned to Take Steps
to Guard Against Being
Swamped.

London.-The greatest exodus in
history Is looked for as soon as Europe
finds the necessary transportation IA
cilities. Information gathered BY the
British government indicates 10000,
900 persons are eager to leave the con-
tinent. The situation is regarded as
full of perils.
Britain, fully aware of all that this
exodus viii mean, will continue its inn
migration restrictions. A government
official said:
Britain cannot sustain any more
than it has, and the emigrants viii
likely seek homes in the United
States"
Officials here are inclined to warn
the United States to take steps guard
ing against being swamped.
British officials hope some 100000
Jews of eastern Europe win go to
Palestine, but no one has any idea
of how to sustain the rest of the
would-be emigrants except by such
aid as to make it possible for them
to stay in their respective native coun-
tries.
Storage of food, lack Of produc-
ton. and unsettled political and so
cial conditions are expected to last
for long time all over Europe. Pas
senger ships are booked months ahead,
but there are not enough vessels for
carrying. even the most important and
immediate traffic.

One of the surprises of the musical
season at Atlantic City was Master
Georges Ganter. Young Ganter, who
has been totally blind since birth, Is
the son of French army officer who
was severely wounded in one of the
great battles of the war.
Georges was brought to this country
by his mother Is months ago, and
since then he has been cared for at the
blind institute in New York city.
Young Ganter has an unusual voice
and reaches the highest notes with
ease while his tones are unusually
sweet and his liction almost fiawless.

ARGENTINA ID SIGN
 PACT WITH ALLIES.
Bears in Charge of Chicago Grain Pit, With Both Corn and Oats at
 Lower Figures
By Associated Press


 Chicago, February A. Announcement that a grain pact would be signed im- mediately by the Argentine government and the entente allies with ma specified tion as to minimum prices had a bearish influence today on corn The close was heavy 219931sc net lower with May sl172s91.17ss and July s1. 1.129sG1. 135sa Oats lost .s to 1Adasc In provisions the outcome ranged from 15c decline to an advance of Pc.
 Inasmuch as corn had risen here yes- terday chiefly owing to assertions that Argentina had forbidden export ship ments of corn, bought below a stated minimum, the new arrangement with the entente led to a good deal of important selling pressure when the market opened Better weather to stimulate the domes- tic crop movement was also a handicap to the bulls. Rallies which ensued were not of a decided character and were lat CT more than offset by reports that feeding demand had fallen off to an un- usual extent.
 Oats followed the trend of corn.
 Provisions sympathized with higher quotations on hogs, but afterward sag ged on view of the weaknes sof corn-and by reason of big stocks shown at Vest ern packing points.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 4-Wide de- clines were forced in the cotton market toGay, following an early period of firm ness. Selling was general in the after noon, short offerings being liberal while a considerable volume of liquidation came from the long side.
 Prices fell 97 to Ill points from the top most levels of the session, standing at the lowest 65 to 76 points under the final quota ations of yesterday. The close showed net losses of B to 6l points.
 Around the opening prices were 21 to 39 points up on heavy rains in the belt. resulting in renewed complaints of the backwardness of the new crop prepara- tons, and the cabled reports from Man chester that all restrictions on the opera tion of English cotton mills had been removed By the middle of the morning the market lost it's good tone and final ly met considerable pressure which ap- peared mainly to come from fresh labor troubles among the mills of this coun- try
 Spots were marked up 25 points to 27.75c for middling. but this had no effect on cor tract values, although spot brokers claimed it was due to a good demand al lack of offerings.

WERE AGAIN
 VERY AGGRESSIVE
Steel Continues % Lead in Trading, But Seems Un- able to Make Much
 Headway
By Associated Press

fSNNN'~NN~
 New York February 4.-Iechnical con ditions were again the chief influence over today's professional stock market, early gains scored largely at the expense of an aggressive short interest being largely effaced in the customary realiz- ing of the later session.
 Although leading the list at all times, trading in United States Steel up to 91. its maximum price since last weeks re- duced dividend, was relatively lighter than usual, the stock reacting with the general market at/ the close.
 Motor shares were again the object of bullish attention from various pools at extreme advances of 1 to points, oils registered gross gains of 1 to 21a points and equipments rallied 1 to ? points, New York Air Brake gaining 519 points on rumors that the prevailing rate of divi- dend is likely to be maintained
 Coppers, tobaccos, feathers. sugars and a few high-grade specialties including Sears Roebuck, embraced the firm to strong shares of the early and inter- mediate periods but shippings and sec- ondary automobile issues reflected con- stant pressure.
 There was temporary spurt in divi- dend-paying rails, also some of the minor shares of that division, but the advance was largely impaired at the end when profit taking became more effective, low grade transportations also sagging
 More activity was reported in the for eign exchange market, although rates on London and Paris were unaltered. Remittances to Spain were firmer and ruble currency rallied.
 New high records for French munich pals featured the irregular bond mar ket, Liberty issues and other domestic bonds easing variably. Total sales, par value, aggregated s10,575,000 Old United States coupon and registered 4s gained h on call.
 Final prices on Liberty Bonds today were: S11s, 99; first convertible As, 93; sec ond As, 92.S2; first convertible 4As, 95.5S; second convertible AS, 94.40; third 414s, 95.40; fourth 4As, 943S

COTTON AGAIN DOES SOME
General List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of 15 to 5 Points Under
 Monday

New York, January An early ad- vance met increased offerings in the cot ten market today and was followed by a sharp break in prices. The general list closed steady at a net decline Of 15 to 5 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 14 points and sold about 25 to 42 points net higher during early trad ing on a renewal of yesterdays buying
 movement which found encouragement in relatively steady cables and reports that restrictions on Lancashire spinners were
 | to be removed. March sold up to 24.25c and July to 22.30c. making advances of
 about 190 to 211 points from the low level
 l of last Wednesday.
 The market met a good deal of realiz- l ing at these figures, while there was also considerable southern selling, which was evidently taken suggesting that the higher prices were bringing out in- creased spot offerings. The talk of this sort was considered responsible for a re- newal of more or less general selling as prices eased off, and the break was ac- companied by reports that labor troubles were spreading in some of the New Eng land and southern mill centers. March contracts sold off to 20c and July to 21. .23c in the late trading or about 60 to 69 points net lower.
 The market then steadied on covering and the close showed rallies of several points from the lowest on reports on an improving export demand, and private cables claiming increased activity in Manchester. Private wires from the south said there decidedly better demand from Liverpool, and there were reports that more ocean tonnage was be- ing booked for cotton shipments. Pri- vate cables said the early advance in Liverpool was partly due to continental buying.

Coffee Market.

. New York. February IA further de- cline at the opening of the market for coffee futures here today was followed by rallies on trade buying of May, cov- ering and reports of higher cost and freight orders. The market opened to points lower under a renewal of scat tered liquidation, with May selling at H.25c and December at 13.4sc shortly after the call, or 10 to r points net lower. The rally carried May up to l4.60c and De- cember to 1370c. with the market closing net unchanged to 15 points higher.
