N. Y. Bank Charges France
Got 2O,OOO,0OO Pounds Of
Sugar by Blunder of U. S.

New York, Oct. o.-Simultaneously
with the prediction by Arthur Will
liams, Federal Food Administrator,
of a sugar famine in New York by
next Tuesday. unless the longshore-
mems strike is settled, the Hartman
National Bank published a paid ad-
vertisement in a newspaper asserting
the surplus war material recently
sold by the United States to France
included 22,000.O00 pounds of sugar.
I'll is obvious" said the advertise
ment, that inquiry need go no far
ther to discern that the high cost of
living is in a great measure due to
the inefficiency of official Washing
ton"
The advertisement added that the
war material sold for about $780,
100000 and estimated to be worth
$1.750.000,000 included almost every
thing in the list essential to our
present day needs. The report of the
committee on expenditures of the
War Department, to be made to Con-
gress should show precisely why so
valuable a quantity of material was
virtually presented to France at the
expense of the American taxpayer"

HOPE TO FORM
BETTER WORLD
CREDIT SYSTEM
International Conference Is
Seeking to Eliminate Un-
fair Trade Practices
By Associated Press.

Atlantic City, n. j., Oct. 20. -
Establishment of permanent inter-
national organization of businessmen
for the purpose of eliminating un-
fair international trade practices,
working out a better system of credit
and finance in the international eN-
change of goods and acting as n
clearing house for ideas with regard
to manufactures and commerce, is
expected to result from the inter
national trade conference which is
to be held here this week. Informal
conferences and subcommittee meet
1ngs were begun to-day, and will con-
tinue until the formal sessions begin
Wednesday night.
This new organization probably
will supplant the international con-
gress of chambers of commerce and
commercial Industrial associations
which for ID years have been a COM
mon clearing house for the business
ideas of the world. It's functions
having been suspended since June.
1914, the suggestion is now made
that on the invaluable experience of
this organization be erected an even
greater and more closely knit struc-
ture.
Edward A. Filine. of Boston, who
was one of the three American dele
gates of the permanent committee Of
the International Congress, has pre-
pared plans for the new interna-
tional body which will be submitted
to the conference for consideration.
Under the tentative plan of the
American delegates, the new organic
alton will endeavor to bear the same
relation to the League of Nations
on commercial subjects as the Inter
national Labor Conference, soon to
convene in Washington, will have
regarding labor problems.
At tho first open meeting of the
delegates this morning, the various
foreign missions met the correspond
ing American commissions and de-
cided on methods of procedure. AL
fred c. Bedford, of New York, chair
man of the executive committee of
the conference, called, the meeting TO
order and introduced John II. Fahey.
or Boston, who delivered an informal
address of welcome and outlined the
work of the program committee, OF
which he is chairman.

America Nation of Tenants,
Says United States Senator

New York, Oct. 90 The United
States has fought all her wars ito
preserve the home" and yet probably
gu per cent. of her people are tenants.
This was the text selected by United
States Senator Calder in an address
before the New York Real Estate AS
sociation's convention urging the ne
cessity of national campaign for the
creation of homes.
SIT has been pointed out that the
United States has been at war on an
average of once in 30 years since the
Constitution was adopted" the SEN
ator said, "and that the object of each
of these wars has been, in the last
analysis to preserve the home. Yet
we find that to the majority of people
ir this country "home" means little
more than a dwelling for which they
are paying rent"

SOUTKWESTr \ RATE
 CASE IN SUPREME COURT
This Raise in Rates Effects Many Towns in Arkansas; Was In-
 yestigated Thoroughly.

Little Rock. Dec. 17,-(SpeciaD - The Arkansas Corporation Commis sion yesterday afternoon made an or der in the case of the Southwestern creases in rates, the petition having teen filed September 23. The hear- ings on the petition were begun OF November 3, and very thorough inves tigation was made of investment, reva- nues, and expenses.
 Prior to the taking over of the lines by the Federal Government, August 1. 1918, the company mad increased it's rates in 54 of it's 96 exchanges in the state; when the Postmaster General assumed control, the company was preparing to put in these increased rates in the remaining exchanges, but this was deferred until May 1, 1919.
 The testimony shows that the book cost of the eompany's property in Ar- kansas is $6,533,468, and that reprodu- ction would cost ten million dollars.
 The Commission finds that tue com pany is earning, under existing rates, only 3 IS per cent on the actual cost of it's property The increase in rove nue from January, 1917. to April, 1919, as "A per cent while the operating eX- penses increased 70 per cent during the same period. The commission. in approving the present rates charges, rules and regulations as fixed by the Postmaster General, says:
 "It will not be understood that any individual community is precludad from applying to the Commission for an adjustment of rates, and the juris- diction of this case will be retained for the purpose of inquiring into the propriety of the rate in any particular exchange.
 No rate of return can be deemed reasonable which is not high enough to attract normal flew of capital to this form of investment. The evi- dence shows that this company must have additional capital if it's business is developed in conformity with the needs and progress of the state, and 1t cannot secure such additional capital unless it be permitted to earn fair return upon the value of it's present investment We have arrived at this conclusion from a consideration of the company's revenues, investment and expenses in the state as whole, and have not gone into the question of individual exchange rates. The un- contradicted evidence establishes be- yond question that the rate structure as a whole does not produce an un- reasonable return on the investment
