particularly favorable for the raising
of turkeys. and a number who for

PREPARED BIG BILL

The democratic leader of the Senate is Senator Martin of Virginia. Senator Mar tin is able in every particular, and when occasion demands, can fight with the best of them. But he is on elderly man, and, having borne many signal honors. is not jealous of those gained by younger men. As matter of fact, he, without hesita- ton, is willing to share those which he has

Senator Martin displayed a willingness to do the work. Senator Martin, aware of the ability of Senator Underwood in dealing with financial leg islation, was obviously very glad to per init the Alabamian to serve. So he named a subcommittee of the general commit tee and it's chairman was Senator Un- derWood.

rope without taking anything in the form of security excepting demand notes. New ertheless, behind these demand notes are the good faith the credit and the resour- ces of other nations than our own. But private loans made in the United States must be based upon visible and negoti- able security. When the question was asked this morning if it is to be pre-, sumed that security of that kind in suf ficient amounts can be provided the an- swer was that there could be no doubt of this.
 Therefore may see in little while large loans made by banks and individ- uals to those who want to buy commodl- ties in the United States but with the understanding, as was the case with Jap an that the funds thus obtained shal. be exclusively utilized in paying for com- modities bought here. No one can tell how vast a debt will be created in addi- tion to that which is already owed to the United States. But it will be so great and will be so long continuel as to make it inevitable that we maintain our pre- eminence although it is known that Eng land is now preparing to put merchant fleet upon the water at so low cost Of construction and operation as to make It possible to secure great part of the ocean carrying trade which originates in the United States

GUARDIANSHIP IS PROBABLE

When the democrats come Into power again, Senator Underwood will be found at the top or near the top of the com mittee on appropriations, as great as the ways and means committee of the House.
 For those democrats holding positions of priority on the committee are in the main possessed of chairmanships of other committees of importance as great as that of appropriations. And Senator Martin is at an advanced age, and after number of years, might desire to be relieved of the heavy burden which for so long he has borne.
 As chairman of the committee, Senator Underwood would be the leader of the Senate, and in position to serve his coun- try and his state in most effective man. ner.

N ENATOR UNDERWOOD has had a N great visit to Birmingham. He " has found a welcome on every turn. He has been invited to appear before every civic. club and organization, and he has accepted. He has elucidated many interesting and vital topics. His utterances, in the opinion of everybody, have been those of a statesman.
 But the senator refrained from telling the people fact in which they will be interested. For he has not talked of him. self or of his work. It is true, never theless, that while serving a first term in the Senate, he has become the &C., tual democratic leader of that body.
 It is possible that he will be given the title of minority leader. There is great probability that if the democrats ever again come into control, he will be elected majority leader.

SEEING ROTH SIDES

In connection with the fact that Sena- tor Underwood is giving his principal thought to appropriations, it is interest," ing to recall that while a member of the House, he addressed himself primarily to ways and means of running the gov ernment.
 It was then his function to raise money for others to spend. It is now his func- ton wisely to spend money which others have raised. When it is all over, he should be a we'll rounded legislative fi- nancier.

It might happen that Senator Martin will not desire to serve as minority lead- CT. For there is more trouble than pleasure in leading the weaker column. the strenuous, too often, unsuccessful et- fort is scarcely balanced by the honor in- volved And at his advanced age, Il would be natural should Senator Mar tin suggest that some other democrat be chosen to make the fight.

 His work was admirable. He parried every republican thrust. With fine di- plomacy he compromised when such pro- cedure could be invoked without loss of principle The partisan opposition was repeatedly nonplussed by his tactical skill, his boise and his logic. In con- sequence of it all, other democratic sen ators reached conclusion that Senator Underwood should succeed Senator Mar tin when the time came to elect suc-t cessor.

GREAT QUESTION LOOMS UP


 No one can have chatted with any or the financial leaders in New York or Chi cago without speedily learning that the very enormity of the trade balance Tn favor of the United States which has been built up in a little over two years, occa sions not exactly alarm, but the pe- lief that it offers the most stupendous problem of financing that the world has ever known excepting of course the very great and drastic financing which was entailed by our allies so that they might be able to meet the excessive cost of war.
 The Washington authorities report that in two years, beginning Junuary. 1916, the trade balance in favor of the United States was considerably in excess of Slo'- coo, GOO GOO. That is a sum which Is ap- proximately equal to the total creoits which our government is authorized 10 extend to our allies across the sea. But this trade balance is nothing else than the difference in favor of the United States between the money value of com modities exported from this country over the money value of commodities imported
 The question that puzzles our abler financiers is this: How is the balance to be liquidated? It stands by itself as a debt to the industrials of the United States. In it is not included the sS,- OCO. .OOO coo in the form of credit which our
 
 the disposal of the nations with which we were associated in the war. Prooapiy ultimately these credits will be placed in the form of long time bonds bearing good rate of interest and held in the. treasury department. They will serve as a national investment and will bring in each year not far from s5o0,00O0oo.
 It seemsrto be the view of our financial leaders that irf order to liquidate thls trade balance or some, part of it and in order also to provide the facilities by means of which the other nations may continue to buy heavily in the Unlten States it will be necessary to place verf large private loans in this country Inc comparativeily few millions which our bankers lent to Japan at the time ol her war with Russia and which were spent here for war material of which Japar then stood in need in comparison wlti present needs of other nations be so tfN- ial as to be almost unnoticeable. nun dreIs of millions will be needed II. other nations or. the people of other nations are to continue to buy commodities In the United States These millions can now DC obtained nowhere else than in the Chi- ted States Therefore, plan alreauN seems to be vaguely outlined wherepV great loans can be made not by the gov ernment may advance credits to Flu capital But these loans cannot be made unless ample security is given. our gov vernrent snay advance credits to IT.

GREAT PROSPERITY
 IN NEAR FUTURE
By HOLLAND


 New York, March 2S.-The men who are out of employment and the con siderable number who are seeking em- ployment for those who need it should find qualification in the statement re- gently made by Judge Gary. chairman of the board of the United States Stee. corporation. Judge Gary is quoted as having so spoken as to demonstrate his confidence in the speedy coming of very great prosperity and one not stim- ulated by war activities. If that pros perity comes it will mean employment for every man who is seeking it. An es- innate has been made of the number who are now out of employment If the estimate be correct then less than 40Q,Uj men are waiting to sell their services, either in unsSilled labor or that of the skilled artisan.
 An agreement has been entered into by the industrial board at Washington and the leading steel manufacturers for reduction in the price of steel 'commodi- ties. That undoubtedly will be followed by great activity in various industries. For instance, the building industry all over the United States has been almoss stagnant, due chiefly to the high price charged for material, but if lower prices stimulate building activities, as IL IS eN- pected they will, then there will be iur- nished immediate employment perhaps to the greater number of those who are now without work.
 All of our business leaders know or profess to know that the proposed league of nations is not the only propoSltloh which other countries than our own are seriously considering. If 1t be true that our allies and the neutral countries arc looking toward the United States for sup port of the league of nations plan, II is also true according to business ieau- CTS that with the possible exception ol Japan and one or two other nations all of the nations have their eyes turner towards the United States in the nope that they will be able to secure here ac- tual materials and visible supplies or which they are greatly in-peed. It seems to be the impression that nowhere else in the world can these things be 1ouna at this time excepting in the United states If other conditions are satisfactory anu especially if the financial problem IS worked out it is deemed certain thas there will come to the United states from other lands a stupendouS denane for material of all kinds If that demand can be met it will mean constant and re- munerative employment for labor. The best opinion seems to be that the months will not be many before every man m the United States who wants work VIII be able to find it and that there may no. be men enough to meet the need.
