The Visit Of Brazil's Chief

DR.. Epitacio Pessoa, the new president-elect
of Brazil, will make twelve-days stay in this
country. He has been attending the peace con-
ference and has been shown many signal honors
abroad. The United States is preparing to well
come the chief executive of Brazil in manner
that will convince him of the sincerity of our
cordially for the southern republic.
Our pan American trade attained a volume of
$4,000 100000 during the past year of the war.
We have outstripped countries that formerly con-
trolled the South American markets. They are
making heroic efforts to regain the trade. Bra
iii was powerful ally of the United States dur
ing the war; and the advent of President-elect
Pessoa is an opportunity to prove anew our
friendship for our sister republic

tors must continue to play an important part in
governing prices for years to come.
In the light of these conditions, the man who
cuts prices to point where he must lower the
labor wage in order to make profit is more sub
Ject to censure than the profiteer. The man who
postpones necessary building is specializing in the
future misfortunes of the nation. Rapidly falling
prices of commodities can mean only one thing
panic and depression. The labor cost is Is per
cent of the finished commodity.
We cannot have high wages and cheap COM
modities. The American public cannot have its
cake and eat it, too.

Good Evening
BY ROY x. MOULTON

The weather bureau is constantly
denying responsibility for the weather.
It claims it does not manufacture the
weather, but merely shoves it around
from place to place. Occasionally the
weather starts out on its own recog-
nlzance and pays no attention to gov
eminent control. For instance, a black
storm cloud will chase all over a state
until it finds a Sunday school picnic
and then settle down over that picnic
for the day.

National Aid for
Al-Home Builders

Aid to home-builders on a national
scale, and in manner similar to that
by which the Federal Farm Loan
Banks aid agriculture, has been sug-
gested to the Division of Public
Works and Construction Develop
ment of the Department of labor by
President Keesler of the United
States League of Building and Loan
Associations, in order to interest the
public in building during the transi-
tion period from war to peace.
Building loan associations of this
country, according to this plan, would
perform for workingmen much the
same service as that performed for
farmers by farm loan banks. Mort
cages made over to building and loan
associations, it is suggested, should
be rediscountable at Federal Reserve
Banks, in order that these associa-
tions might render most effective
service. At present, however, two
difficulties stand in the way; first,
the associations are not members of
the Federal Reserve Bank system,
and have no capital stock and reserve
therein; second, the Reserve Banks
are designed for handling CONNER
cial paper, not mortgages.
The solution Of the first problem
suggested is that special measures be
taken to protect the Reserve Banks,
and that the second be met by limit
ing the amount of mortgages redis-
counted. AS an alternative, it is
thought that the farm loan banks
might be authorized to accept mort
cages on homes as we'll as on farm
lands. Either method, it is thought
would be preferable to the creation
of new organizations.
President Keesler has been in con-
ference with Franklin T. Miller, Di-
rector, and other officers of the Di-
vision of Public Works and Construc-
tion DEVELOPMENT, in the Department
of Labor. The building loan associa-
tions are admirably equipped to fl
nance home-building, and it is believ-
ed that they can sssist greatuy in pri-
vate home-bui1ding, which is needed
now to relieve congestion. The re-
strictions on building due to the war.
and the gradual decline in building
for some years preceding the war,
have reduced the amount of housing
per capita in the United States to
figures below the normal for a num-
Der of years.
The building and loan associations
for the country number 1859, with a
total membership of 3,83S,612. Their
total assets exceed $1,75OO,OOO. Their
receipts from all sources in 1917 were
s., ,220.000,000, and their cost of doing
business, So,8O0OOo, amounted to only
