PLAN WHEREBY
HIGH COST OF LIVING
MAY BE REDUCED


Sept. 13.-Diseussing the question,
"should exports be restricted as
means of reducing the present high
cost of living" Governor Harding,
of the Federal Reserve Board, in his
address to the convention of the
West Virginia Bankers Association
at White Sulphur Springs yesterday,
drew sharp distinction between
foreign trade with those countries
which are able to pay cash and with
those which must be financed through
credit.
eve should be prepared,",he said,
"to sell to any nation any goods for
which that nation may be able to pay
cash, but the point I wish to empha-
size is this: where we sell on credit
we should exercise wise discretion
as to the character Of the articles
sold. lila.
81 happens that the necessary ma
terial and supplies Of which Europe
stands in need at the present time
come within the class of commodi-
ties of which we normally produce
a surplus available for export. We
should endeavor to increase our pro-
duction of these articles and to send
them over without stint up to the
limit Of the credits provided, but we
should neither encourage nor permit,
so far as our power lies, these peo-
pies already so heavily in our debt to
beome further indebted to US for the
purchase of non-essentials and luxu-
ries."
Governor Harding expressed the
conviction "that we should reach the
conclusion as speedily as possible,
that the development Of our foreign
trade apart from such incidental as
sistance as the Government may pro-
perly give, is a matter for private
initiative and individual enterprise. I"
He pointed out that national banks
having a capital and a surplus Of rot
less than $1,o0o,ooo may subscribe
up to ten pei. cent, ofstheir capital
and surplus to the capital stock Of
banks, or corporations organized
under the laws Of the United States
or any Of the several states, and
principally engaged In foreign bank
ing. He also stated that bill that
has passed both houses Of Congress
and is now in the hands Of the Presi-
dent will permit any national bank,
regardless Of its size to subscribe, up
to give per cent Of its capital and
surplus to the capital stock Of cor
porations principally engaged in such
financial operations as may be nee
essary to promote the export Of
goods, wares and merchandise from
the United States or any Of its de-
pendencies."

Washington, Sept. 12.-William
C. Bullitt, of Philadelphia, formerly
attached to the American peace mis-
sion, testified before the senate for
eign relations committee today that
Secretary Lansing told him in Paris
last May that if 'the senate and the
American people knew what the
treaty meant, it would be defeated" J"
It was near the close of an ex-
tended examination during which
Bullitt explained he had been sent
to Russia to investigate conditions,
and had later resigned from the
mission because he was out of
sympathy with the treaty and the
league covenant, that he was asked
by Senator Lodge how the Amer
lean delegates stood.
Secretary Lansing, Henry White
and General Bliss all expressed
vigorous opinions regarding the
treaty, he said. Senator Lodge
asked if the opinions were. en-
thusiastic.
81 regret to say they were not"
said Bullitt.
It was no secret in Paris, he de-
clared, that Lansing, White and
Bliss objected vigorously to nu-
merous provision of the treaty.
When Senator Lodge said he
thought the secretary's opinion on
Shantung was known, Bullitt added:
II think Secretary Lansing was
not at all enthusiastic about the
League of Nations" . .. .':
Previous to his testimony concern
ing Lansing's alleged utterances, Mr..
Bullitt had shown the committee a
document which he said was an Or
iginal Of President Wilson's League
Of Nations draft by Mr.. Wilson
personally.
He also showed the committee
copies Of other original drafts and
testified about his trip to Russia to
get from Lenine q declaration on
which fighting would be stopped.
Concerning the proposed Prinlipo
conference between all Russian fac
tions, Mr.. Bullitt testified that
French opposition had defeated the
.plan.

ances of the Pacific Northwest and
pictured to him existing labor unrest
which they said would make difficult,
If not impossible, the prevention Of
a nationwide strike October s in
sympathy for Thomas j. Mooney,
sentenced to life imprisonment for
San Francisco bomb outrages in 1916
Specifically, the delegation asked
for an appointment to see the presii-
dent to present the cases Of 'spoliti-
cal prisoners" notably those of HUI
let M. Wells, Sam Sadler and Morris
and Joe Pass, the latter two being
brothers, all serving terms Of two
years for seditious conspiracy. A \.

State federation; C. R. Cotrelli, Sec
retary Of the Triple Alliance, COM
posed Of railway men, labor and
farmers, and James A. Duncan, sec
retary Of the Central Labor Council
Of Seattle. Mr.. Duncan, according
to officials of the United States dis
trict attorneys Office, was one Of the
leaders in a general strike here last
February which former Mayor Ole ;
Hansen characterized as "a revolu-
ton"
For more than an hour the. presi-
dent discussed the labor situation
with the delegation and suggested to
them that organized labor should
bury its differences with capital and
do its utmost to prevent strikes until /
after the labor conference whieh he Z
has called to meet In Washington On
October 6.
Asks For Remedy.
Mr.. Buck, who acted as spokesman,
in pleading the cases Of the political
prisoners" charged the government
was prosecuting these men while It
failed to prosecute pro6teers. Tho

all right for them to have grievances,
but that he wanted to know what
remedy they had to suggest.
President Wilson would not mako
a statement concerning the confer
ence, Secretary Tumulty said when
the delegation left the president's
hotel. The secretary spitomised,
however, what went on.
Members Of the delegation likewise
declined to talk. Mr.. Buck said they
wanted to give the president an op-
portunity to disclose what took place,
but that If he did not do so, the la
Dor men would issue a statement.
During President Wilson's visit to
Seattle local radicals walked the
streets wearing badges reading" Re

Boston, Sept. DIFFERENTIATION
ITO defend the sovereignty of Massa-
chusetts" was expressed by Governor
Coolidge in a telegram sent tonight
to Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor. The
telegram was in reply to one receiv-
ed from the labor leader last night IN
which Mr.. Gompers asked him to take
"a broad view of the situation
brought about by the policemen's
strike.
The governor told Mr.. Gompers
that the suggestion of President Will
son that orders forbidding the police
men of the city of Washington to
affiliate with the American Fedora
ton of Labor be held in allegiance
pending the labor conference to be
held at the White House on October
6 did not apply to Boston as the
Washington police had remained on
duty. Reiterating the fact that 19
members of the Boston policemen's
union had ben tried for violation Of
the order against affiliation and had
been removed and that the places of
the other strikers had been declared
vacant, he added:
81 can suggest no authority out
side the courts to take further ac-
ton
Telegram Of Governor.
The governors telegram follows:
Replying to your telegram, have
already refused to remove the police
commissioner of Boston; I did not
appoint him. He an assume no po-
sition which the courts would uphold
except what the people have by the
authority of their law vested in him.
He speaks only with their voice. The
right of the police of Boston to af-
filiate has always been questioned,
never granted, is now prohibited. The
suggestion of President Wilson to
Washington does not apply to Bos-
ton. There the police have remained
on duty. Here the policemen's un-
ion left their duty, an action which
PRECEDENT Wilson characterized a. =
crime against civilization. ..
"Your assertion that the commits
sioner was wrong can not justify the
wrong Of leaving the city unguarded.
That furnished the opportunity; the
criminal element furnished the action
There is no right to strike against
the public safety, by anybody, any
where, at any time.
'sYou ask that the public safety
again be placed in the hands of these
same policemen while they continue
in disobedience Of the laws of Massa-
chusetts and in their refusal to obey
the orders Of the police department.
Nineteen men have been tried and re-
moved. Others having abandoned
their duty, their places have under
the law been declared vacant in the
opinion of the attorney general. I
can suggest no authority outside the
courts to take further action.
"I wish to join and assist in taking
a broad view of every situation. A
grave responsibility rests on all of US
You can depend on me to support you
in every legal action and sound pol
icy. I am equally determined to de-
fend the sovereignty Of Massachu-
setts and to maintain the authority
and jurisdiction over her public off,
GERS where it has been placed by the
constitution and laws of her people" F"
