Speaking at the MONDAY luncheon
of the Real Estate exchange at the
Southern club yesterday, United States
Senator Oscar w. Underwood discussed
business conditions in the United States
in the after -the-war period. both as to
their effect on the government and on
private enterprise. He advised against
the policy of postponing building activi-
ties and industrial development with the
expectation of cheaper materials and la
Dor later on. In his opinion those who
do await lower prices will wait long
time, and in the meantime business will
suffer and men will be idle.
There were about 100 members and
guests present when President Butler of
the Real Estate exchange introduced SEN
ator Underwood. The senator declared
that he had no intention of making
long speech, but would confine the few
remarks he expected to make to business
as it was connected with the government

CUT DOWN ACREAGE
Federal Reserve Bank Sends Word to
the Farmers

reserve bank In Atlanta have mailed
to the press a copy of a resolution
wherein the board Endorses the move
ment to decrease the cotton acreage
in the south for the year 1919.
The resolution cites the fact that all
acreage saved by the curtailment of
cotton planting should be planted in
food and feed crops, as it will not
only prove remunerative to the farmer
but beneficial to the country.

WAR INDUSTRIAL ENDEAyoR

After briefly referring to the great war
organization, the conversion of all bust
nesses to war work and the demobiliza-
ton of the army and the return of the
country to peace. he turned to the subject
of renewed business activity in al. lines,
zone hundred years ago armies be-
lorged to the king" he said, land they
were not a part-of the industrial estab-
1ishment of the country. Today war is
more of an industrial endeavor. The loss
in battles in the European war was the
greatest in history.
when the world went to war all en-
deavor except for war purposes, stopped.
mhe army is now being demobilized as
rapidly as existing conditions allow. l
doubt If 20,0a hayonets in the United
States are in the service now. Practically
all those now in the service in the United
States are IN the medical corps or other
branches taking care of property. They
will have to stay in until Congress dis
poses of the property
When the war ended, Senator Under
wood said the government discontinued
its contracts for material and threw

chased upon the market

WON'T LOSE TIGER"
FOR WANT OF PAPER,
SAYS THE SHERIFF
Will Get Warrant When Pos
sible, Otherwise Will Pro
coed Anyway-Warrant
Used to Get OneQuart

The attitude of the sheriff's force
toward the bootleggers is merciless-
The sentiment of the public respect
ing the whisky laws and their opera
ton is in most cases. and ought always
to be, sensible.
This was from Chris Hartsfeld, JEFF
fersons sheriff, when he was talking
Thursday afternoon about the seizure
of whisky.
Il believe that enough has been said
about the matter" he stated. IF our
laws are not good ones we cannot help
it. But whatever they are, we are go
ing to our limit in enforcing them.
STATES HIS PURPOSE
Last week we seized a still and
some liquorwithout warrant. Hereaft-
err, we are going to have warrants in
every case possible. but if in our minds
there is no doubt as to the possession
of liquor by a person and 1t comes to
a case of getting warrant too late to
make the arrest or of making the seiz-
ure without a warrant, we are going to
proceed without the warrant The mar
gin of the law will allow us to do
this.
Sheriff Hartsfield stated that his men
had been watching the bootleggers as
closely as they could and that they
would continue to do so. But, he said.
they will not allow this duty to inter-
fere with the many other duties of the
office and that they will not carry 1t
into a petty prying into everyone's
baggage.
There are always exceptions" he
added "In other cases the sheriff is
allowed to make arrests without a war
rant. even when the offense was not
committed in the presence of the sher
if or deputy, when the officer has
no doubt in his own mind as to the
guilt.
SPEAKS TO GUNS
'I understand that those engaged in
bringing booze into this county are
coming heavily armed. We already
have evidence of it. These men are de-
termined to bring the stuff in. and
every word spoken about making more
trouble in arresting them is to theii
encouragement.
Let us all take a sensible viewpoint
Our present laws were made with a
strong and undoubted determination to
stop the liquor traffic. That We will
try to do exactly according to the legal
provisions and we do not want to in
fringe on the rights of anyone. Let's
be practical"
In the midst of the statement the
sheriff was making in all seriousness
one of the deputies entered with this
chime:

THE SHIFT FROM WAR

THE movement from war to peace must
be mapped out so as to make the shift
with the least shock possible to business.
Business is good and is going to i'm
prove if a peace treaty is signed within
a reasonable time and restrictions on
business are removed, so that the people
can run their own business. In war the
government ran business successfully be-
cause it had the money to pay for It,
Factories We're turned from making plows
to guns with no lost motion or time, but
going back from war to peace, from max
ing guns to plows, is going to be differ
ent.
1T helps materially to have large sur
plus of money. There is more money In
the United States than ever before. Bust
Eess has been prosperous, labor has more
money than it has had in two or three
decades. and they can buy and pay for
what they buy. Another equation that
enters into the situation is that YOU
haven't got the same dollar that you had
before the war. We are not on a gold
basis Nobody tried to get gold out of
the treasury during the war, and il they
had they wouldn't have got it. The gov
eminent had to have a vast deal of paper
money. 1t was needed: the government
needed it. you needed it. At the begin
ming of the war we had the federal re-
serve system prepared and ready to func
ton, and it carried the government
through the war.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1919-03-21
RETIREMENT OF GOLD

AT the beginning of the war you had
a few hundred million gold certificates
and treasury notes, but I doubt If a
search of the pockets of all the men pres
emit here would reveal one gold certifi-
cate. Federal reserve notes, based on
somebody's credit, have taken their place.
At one time there were So, 000. 000, 900 of fed
eralJ reserve bank notes in circulation.
Currency expanded and retired gold until
on November II. when the armistice was
signed. you could not get gold out of the
treasury"
He explained that the great exporta-
tions from 1914 to 1917 brought gold from
all countries to the United States, and
as the administration did not know how
long the war would last it held the gold
in the treasury. All of these things, he
said, have had tendency to decrease the
value Of the dollar.
Building materials, he argued, are not
up in price. at least all of them are not,
but the dollar has gone down and will
stay down for long time. There may
be some falling off. but as long as you
have the great amount Of dollars to pay
more for what you need you lose nothing
by the higher values of materials
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1919-03-21
BUILD NOW. ADVISED


Continuing, Senator Underwood said:
persons who will not buy because they
nave to pay more dollars now are taking
the wrong view: they are measuring by
the wrong standard; by the wrong yard
stick"
He advised the immediate renewal of
building activities. and urged the real
estate dealers to convince the public that
II is not an unsafe business proposition
to buy materials and build now.
Senator Underwood was heartily ap-
plauded at the conclusion of his talk,
many Of the men present exciaiming that
he had expressed their sentiments perfect
" and that his talk had been along the
right lines to restore confidence and bring
about renewed activity in not only the
building line. but in every kind of indus
| try
DANGAIX A SPEAKER
Following Senator Underwood, w. j.
Daneaix, who has recently returned from
Europe, introduced by President Butler
stated that while later on there may be
small concession by the material manu-
facturers and in labor wages. there would
never be a return to pre-war conditions.
He predicted great building activity In
Birmingham at an early date.
For the first time the United States
occupies q dominant position In world
| trade and with our merchant marine. our
banks reaching out into foreign countries
and our foreign trade, we are going te
have a prosperity that we have never had
before" Mr.. Dangaix said. The south Is
particularly interested in foreign trade
with her lumber, her cotton, and here In
Birmingham we are interested because Of
our iron and our steel.

/ Gals with manufacturers in Switzerland

Birminghams advantages for this kind Of
