Busy Week
in Prospect
For Congress

Washington. June S.-Congress en-
ters the fourth week Of tho now
session tomorrow with broadening
activities and Incl eased speed urged
~ leaders.
The o-called Peace treaty leak
investigation and the bill to end
government control OF telegraphs,
telephones and cables constitute the
Senate's work of principal interest
this week. while the House plans TO
engage in a cleanup of appropria-
ton bills. starting tomorrow with the
pared down $S00,ooOooO army bill.
Investigations OF army and shippin.,
ger, Socialist. also will be started by
committees.
At it's meeting tomorrow to make
plans for the treaty inquiry, the
Foreign Relations committee may do
little more than select a sub-com-
nittee to do the actual work of sum-
:nonins and examining witnesses.
Selection OF this sub committee
probably will be left to Chairman
Lodge.
Leaders on both sides are anxious
for the investigation 10 start and be-
lore the end OF the week it may be
we'll under way. At tomorrow s
meeting the full committee may take
up the question of some of those
to be called and may lay down some
general plan of procedure. That
subject will, at least be discussed
it is believed.
One of the first difficulties to COM
plicate the inquiry doubtless will be
the question of senatorial immunity
as it apples to Senators Lodge and
Borah in connection with their state
| ments of the existence of treaty
copies in New York. This subject
| is expected to reveal a sharp diff
| members.
Chairman Lodge has said he can
-! not, without a breach OF confidence
! tell any committee more than he
| has already told them. and Senator
| Boiah is understood to hold a sim

| fuse fatty to answer questions re-

sentatives under the constitutional
provision that for any speech or de-
, bate in either House they shall not

| Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska and
! other Democrats of the committee
! Will oppose this view. holding that no
! such immunity can be invoked to
| hold back facts Of material import
arce to the inquiry. They declare the
| charges made by the two senators
are too serious to be dropped now.
In speculation over the possible
| trend Of the investigation the names
, of many men prominent in national
| politics and in financial circles have
been mentioned about the Capitol.
Senator Borah is known to favor
calling officials CT the League to En-

make any prediction as to the gener-

For Mems Clothing Trade

A recent bulletin issued by the
American Mems and Boys Clothing
Manufacturers Association contained
a letter from member suggesting that
the association form an export DEPART
ment for the development of foreign
trade in mems apparel. The writer de-
cried the handling of mems clothing by
export commission houses, and said
that combination of manufacturers
might be able to discharge the work
much better. The needed capital, he
said, could be proportionately divided
among members ready to participate in
the enterprise, and would mean only .
small individual expense. The foreign
field, he added, could be investigated

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The foreign exchange market has
been much quieter, with much bust
ness being postponed pending the ar
rangement of international credits.
The first step taken in this direction
was the plan announced by the bank
ers tor the sale in this market of
SoO,O0O,O00 Of French treasury bills
which will bear rate of interest in
accordance with the prevailing rates
IN the commercial paper market 9th
or such transactions are looked for.
bankers and business men generally
admit that immediate steps must be
taken to provide credit for our for
elgn customers, otherwise great deal
OF business will not materialize.
In this connection the Guaranty
Trust Company, referring more par
ticularly to Germany says:
"Discussion with American exporters
regarding the possibilities of doing
business in Germany at the present
time discloses the fact that not only
the extension of credits, ranging from
SIX months to one to two years, is in
volved, but that the final guarantee of
payment is usually expressed in marks,
not IN dollars. This is due to the
fact that the German government has
imposed restrictions on the export of
marks IN order to stabilize the rate of
exchange. In concentrating such a
deal the American merchant would be
taking a speculative position in regard
to the value of the market at the end
OF the period specified.
This same exchange situation has
already been very carefully consid-
cred in regard to the proposed fnanc-
ing OF exports to several Of the Euro
pean countries where exchange has
been subject to the control Of their
respective governments on account of
its instability. Naturally American
manufacturers wish to transact bust
ness on the basis Of American dol
lars, or on the basis of a foreign ex
change, for the sale of which future
CONTRACTS can be made, thus insurinr
the dollar amount which would be avail,
abel. This difficulty has not vet been
overcome to the satisfaction of the
export fields"
If you calculate the cost of the dol
lar in terms Of foreign money at cur
rent exchange value-that is, if YOU
were buying dollars with pounds,
marks or francs-its value at the close
of last week, as compared with year
ago, would be about as follows:.

Shortage Forces Up
Swiss Color Prices
Pre.War Stocks Are Beginning
to Come on the
Market

Swiss colors continue to command
top prices in the market because of
their scarcity. No abatement in de-
mand is evident and only small guam
titles appear to be obtainable. 1t was
said that patent blue is commanding
$15 pound, while wool green is being
sold for $7.25 to $3.50 a pound. Before
the war, these dyes, it was said, were
obtainable at very reasonable prices.
Some dealers said yesterday that pre-
war stocks, which have been held since
1914, are now beginning to appear on
the market in limited quantities.
The call for bright colors to Japan
and China continues firm. Malachite
green, fuchsine, and congo red were
among the principal items exported.
Fuchsine was in especially good de-
mand.
