of some plan to finance European in
dustries along the lines provided in
the foreign finance corporation bill

this assistance Is urgently needed and
that unless some definite is

in the near future. In his letter MIR.

THE question is not whether this
country should help to finance the in
dustries Of Europe; that is self-evi-
dent. The only thing to be decided is
the wisest n sanest method by which
this can be accomplished.
The business man of America asks
the following from congress and our
bankers:
"1-Foreign securities must be
bought ~intelligently by central
agency representing the credit re-
sources of the country, in order that
European industries may be encour-
aged.
"2-Investments must have the pro-
lection of our own government and of
money is to be used.

MIGHT RELIEVE some,
NOT ALL THE PEOPLE

Washington, August 2.-Repreeen-

declared in a speech on the floor of
the house today hat the granting of
the proposed billion dollars in wage
increases for railway workmen might
solve the high cost Of living problem
for that class of citizens but would
leave the other people Of the country
in "one hell of a Ak"
Mr.. Blanton denounced the railway
brotherhood for threatening a strike
unless the wage demands are granted.
He said it is time "for the tail to
quit wagging the dog, and for some
action to be taken that will reduce the
high cost OF living for all the people,"
There must be a conclusive show
down the Texas member declared,
and congress must quit trucking and
quit being held up by threats"
Congress Is facing a peculiar~prob-
lem" Mr.. Blanton said in beginning
his remarks, "as a solution for the
high cost of living we are asked to
give the railroad brotherhoods an ad-
ditional annual increase in salaries
of $1,000. 900. 900.
This would ~necessitate an adj
ditional proportional increase in
freight rates. thus further taxing all
the people Of the United States, thus
adding his $1,000 900. 900 to the
heavy burdens which they now al
ready bear. This extra 81. 900, 600, 900
will come out OF the pockets OF the
people annually.

high cost OF living problem for the
railroad employees. but 1t would leave
