AUTO INDUSTRY
PERFORMED BIG
FEAT IN THE WAR

OF the industry he said: I'm the
early days of the industry bankers
were afraid to loan money to the
automobile dealers, but ] now
have seen the time when the bank
ers OF this great country will agree
with you that there is no business
more stable than the automobile
business. l believe it is the duty
of every banker in this territory TO
finance a man in the automobile
business, just as much as it is to
finance man in the farm imple-
ment business, of equal financial
and moral responsibility"
In referring to the outlook, he
denied that the war would have a
depressing effect on business. He
compared the price of farm pro-
ducts and the price of labor, saying
he did not see how either would be
reduced, especially so long as the
price of the king of products, wheat
was fixed by the government at
500 per bushel, and the price of
wheat regulates the price of hogs,
cattle and corn. Il see no way" he
said, where the 1aboring mans
wages are going to be reduced. |
want my men to have what they
are getting at least until the price
of foodstuff and clothing goes
down proportionately." He said
he looked forward to the coming
year as the banner year in the auto
mobile industry
Head to the Bankers.
Walter w. Head of the Omaha
National bank spoke for the bank
ers, dealing largely with the ex-
tension of credit to the automobile
manufacturer and dealer. The most
interesting feature of Mr.. Heads
speech was the information he ex-
tended the automobile men, based
on his inquiry from other banks.
Mr.. Head said sometime ago he
sent a letter to 80 banks in the
central west, asking several ques-
tons and requesting an affirmative
or negative vote.
The first question was: DO you
regard the extension of credit to
automobile dealers and manufac-
turers in the same light that you do
other customers of your bank with a
like financial and moral RESPONSE
b.lity?" He received 20 affirmative
replies and nine unfavorable.
Second. DO you regard the flu
ture prospects for the automobile
business for the year 1919 and sub
scquent five years equal to the past
three years." Twenty-four answered
yes. and six no.
Third. "Should the bank, both
city and country, give the same con-
sideration to the automobile indus
try as was given it prior to our
entry into the war;" There were
Is affirmative replies, and five mega
tive.
He added: There must be some
means of financing the jobber and
provide for our automobile Gus
toners in the same manner we
would for any other customer hav-
ing the same financial and moral
responsibility"
Mr.. Head closed his speech with
a boost for the Omaha automobile
show to be held here February 10
IS. 1919.
Judge J. H. Bancroft Of Richland
Center, Wis, who accompanied Mr..
lash to Omaha, closed the meeting,

"United States Has Lost One
of Its Most Patriotic Citi-
zens," Says President
Wilson in Proclamation.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The follow
ing proclamation on the death of
Theodore Roosevelt was cabled
from Paris today by President Will
son and issued tonight at the State
department:
1t becomes my sad duty to an
nounce officially the death of
Theodore Roosevelt, president of
the United States from Septem-
Der IA, 1901, to March 4, 1909,
which occurred at his home at
Sycamore Hill, Oyster Bay, N. Y,
at AIS o'clock in the morning of
January 6, 1919. In his death the
United States has lost one of its
most distinguished and patriotic
citizens, who had endeared him
self to the people by his strenuous
devotion to their interests and to
the public interests of his country.
AS president Of the police board
of his native city, as member of
the Legislature and governor of
his state, as civil service commits
sioner, as assistant secretary OF
the navy, as vice president and as
president of the United States, he

cral, also embraces a number OF
specific details, including compute

cessive armament, an international
tribunal and a series of sanctions or
penalties for enforcing observance
OF the leagues decisions. These
sanctions include various diplomatic.
judicial and economic measures.
whereby the united nations may
enforce their DEGREES.
Americas Formulating Plans.
The American view point, as it is
now being formulated by the spe-
ciaists as the groundwork for the
president, seeks to reach an accord
on fundamentals on which all agree
and present them in simple working
form One of the chief of these
fundamentals is the formation of
league which will embrace all the
nations of the world, but not one
which will establish any balance oil
power among a group Of nations.
Also care is being taken that the
influence of the various nations in
the league would be in accordance
with their size and importance, so
that the great powers and the small
powers would have voices accord
ing to their standing
Another feature especially con-
corning small undeveloped nations
is to be established, according to
the American plan-a system OF
international trusteeship whereby
the various larger nations having a
developed and stable civilization
will act as trustees for the society
of nations in fostering the progress
and development of undeveloped
communities.
1t is recognized that the league
of nations will have to have some
established and permanent seat for
its extensive international work and
the gradual conviction is taking
form that this seat will be Yer
sailles. The decision as to this, how
ever, must be the natural outgrowth
Of the peace conference.
