SIX british VOTES IN LEAGUE
HELD NOT AN IMPERIAL VICTORY

The Senate proposal to amend the
peace treaty 50 as to give the United
states in the league Of nations a
number Of votes equal to the total
votes of Great Britain and her self
governing dominions and colonies, is
being combated by the League to
Enforce Peace. which has issued an
article by Denys P. Myers. corre-
sponding secretary Of the World
I.eace Foundation, designed to show
that tho British dominions are prac-
tically independent nations.

empire. They were q defeat for
imperial England and the only sue
cessful movement of nationalism
during the war that did not cost
blood. To deny them their escape
from the leading strings of Downing
street is upholding the hands of i'm
perialism in Britain and delaying the
possibility of settlement for the
question Of Ireland.
"It was precisely because tho self
governing dominions recognized that
they had different, and in many. cases
hostile, attitudes in international af-
fairr to that Of the London govern
ment that they successfully insisted
upon separate representation at
Paris and became separate members
Of the league of nations.
Instances of the Independent in
duence and successful diplomacy Of
the self governing dominions in their
own interests at Paris might be null
"The only one that has come to
public attention has been their VIC
tory in securing the assembly votes
in the league Of nations independent
ly of the London government. And
that victory of their sovereign au-
tonomy has been entirely misun-
derstood by some members Of the

HOW TO MAKE AMERICA BETTER
Senator Edge Condenses His the Into Single Sentences

to supervision by the American
government through the Federal
Reserve Board. just as are the ma
tionaI banks of the land, while gov
ernment participation or UNDER
writing or guarantee is not IN
yoked. To these corporations, un-
der federal charters, is given
authority to accept collateral from
foreign nations or cities, or con-
Germs or individuals. satisfactory
to the Federal Reserve Board. and
against this to issue debentures for
sale to investors. Finally, the
actual money so raised will be paid
to the American producer or ex-
porter, and so will enable him to
meet his weekly payroll and to buy
further supplies for his business.
The procedure so provided is
not new or novel, but merely puts
into international practice formu-
la used for years In domestic busi-
ness, by which a man sells his go
ing enterprise to a man without
money and yet gets real cash IN
the transaction, the purchaser
hypothecating the stock. and. per-
haps, the plant, and the vendor re-
ceiving the proceeds Of such loan.
Indeed. the plan already is in op-
Grafton by eight concerns organized
under state laws, but it is felt in
the world Of finance and commerce
that federal Incorporation is advis-
able and probably preferable. as
assuring through government super
vision the safety of the system for
the corporation stockholders and
the purchasers Of the debentures.
So, concretely, an American
manufacturer, or farmer. or ex-
porter, will be enabled to sell his
goods to an impoverished foreign
customer, the transaction will be
handled through one Of the pro-
posed corporations and the vendor
will get his money almost at once.
without danger of never getting 1t
at all.

in the expansion Of American trade with other
nations Of the world. In all probability. the
purchases Of Europe will be chiefly OF necessi-
ties, for years to come, while countries which
did not suffer severely in the war may in
dulge in luxuries, and thus the United States
will be ready to meet demands of every kind.
South America, for instance. will prove a most
profitable field If properly cultivated. and the
United States may win first place in that trade.

and Germany and not much, If at all. ahead

The plan. it might seem, would be of special
value complement Of the Webb act; under
that American business interests may combine
for foreign operations, without fear Of violat-
ing the antitrust laws. and under the foreign
export measure such combinations well might
incorporate foreign finance concerns and float
their own business, without asking others to do
50. and thus they would make double profit
For the investor the plan should be of equal
value. as providing class Of securities whose
safety is assured and whose interest rates
should be attractive. And the legitimate in
tvestnent field, too, should be expanded, to give
adequate opportunity for the ever-growing
circles Of investors. Through the floating Of
the liberty and victory loans the number of
American investors has increased tremendously:
no longer do men and women hide their savings
in a teapot, but they look for remunerative and
safe securities; even the children beginning
to look higher than the humble thrift stamp.

For it's entry into the of destruction
and devastation the United States was unpre-
pared. Accustomed to profound peace, its
fighting spirit slumbered; it virtually had no
Army, and very little Navy, war munitions
and supplies.
For the contest of construction it is
equipped to the uttermost, with impregnable
factories. with legions of labor and CONNER
cial and financial officers, and with the natural
supplies and munitions OF peace ready at hand
for centuries to come. Victorious under its
terrible handicap in war, it sustain defeat
in peace only by ignoring these advantages
and abjectly surrendering to ennui Of which
I cannot conceive America being capable
To open world markets we must cultivate
world trade. We must institute and encourage
a demand for our goods, and we must be pre-
pared to supply and deliver them. American
goods excel all others in excellence, and the
world will buy them in unlimited quantity If
we make such purchase possible. 1t even will
pay higher prices for American products than
for others, If America will give 1T the oppor
tunity. AS I have shown, we have the ap
paratus for production and distribution, and
soon. hope. we shall have the financial machin-
cry needed to develop this world trade.
The first step taken for the cultivation Of
foreign markets was the enactment Of the Webb
law; the second the expansion Of our in
dustrial plants during the years of the war;
third was the upbulding Of the merchant ma
fine. and fourth was tho enactment Of the
Mclean law by this Congress to permit ma
tional banks to subscribe up to per cent Of
their paid-up capital and surplus in concerns
doing foreign commercial and financial busi-
ness: the fifth and final step. I trust, will be
taken in the passage and signing Of the export
finance bill, which it has been my privilege
and pleasure to sponsor. This measures.
s. 2472, has passed the Senate, and Is be-
fore the House committee on banking and
rency, which apparently is disposed to look
kindly it. In effect this measure extends
the American financial system to foreign fields.
and will enable United States bankers and busi-
ness men systematically, safely and prohtably
to finance their own commercial operations by
financing their impoverished foreign customers
European credit is to be Transmitted into cash.
and this cash is to be paid to the American
producer, manufacturer and exporter.
In brief, the export finance bill provides that

for American export financing. By framing

America Better?" one in
- evitably is puzzled by
4 n the moment and pauses
to catch his breath and
to think.
To make America better" physi-
cally or financially, commercially,
industrially, Intellectually or even
spiritually is the question that con-
fronts one. Then he sees that all
these phases hinge on one and the
self-same point, and the answers is
easy: Make America Buster.
Man never is truly content, and
far less happy. unless he is busy.
This applies likewise to the lower
animals, and one remembers David
Harum's axiom, ITS a good thing
for dog to have a few f1eas; it
keeps him from worrying over the
fact that he is dog"
1t applies even more to nations,
which are aggregations of indiyid-
ual men. 1t applies most of all to
the United States, whose people are
active and energetic above all
others and really must be kept busy
to be kept out Of mischief. Rusi-
ness begets business. and busierness
will beget busierness; both will
bring prosperity. on prosperity de-
pends always the contentment and
sometimes the safety Of nation.
and prosperity is dependent on pro-
duction.

The United States now is doing
more business than any other ma
ton in the world, but it must do
still more business. To produce
only enough agricultural and indus
trial products to satisfy its own
needs will be of no advantage, any
more than the members would profit

The United States has the greatest indus
trial plants in the world, it has legions Of loyal
and efficient working men and women, it has
inexhaustible supplies of raw materials of all
kinds. and financial commercial and industrial
leaders Of unsurpassed ability and patriotism.
Truly, it would be a crime against our country
and against civilization not to utilize these
God-given advantages to the superlative.
For over fifty months the whole world suf-
fered from the greatest war Of destruction in
the history Of mankind; probably half GEN.
tury Of constructive work will be necessary to
redeem the physical. financial and even moral
ruins, and the shoulders Of the United
States falls the greatest part Of this burden.
This duty Of reconstruction should be q labor
Of love. but it also will be task OF tremendous
profit, and one should remember that while
"the Lord helps those who help themselves.
He helps even more those who help others.
By opening world markets to American
trade and commerce we shall stimulate and
give impetus to American production. OF both
raw and finished materials; labor will be kept
employed at adequate. and even generous,
wages; the great American merchant marine,
already numbering over 1000 ships, Will be
furnished with cargoes for the invasion OF
every port in every land; foreign exchange will
be automatically stabilized; devastated plants
and fields and cities and nations will be re-
stored, and impoverished Europe will be helped
into a position to repay its tremendous imam
cial debts to the United States
Without world markets, what will hap
pen? The people Of the United States cannot
consume the production of its fields and FAC
tories, and surplus production would be cur
tailed; labor would suffer, and as labor slaners
SO will the rest Of the land. Already the spirit
of unrest RACES and the epidemic of Europe
has polluted our usually sane country. This
plague must be cured, and a YaDetition be pre-
vented, and then we can turn our efforts to
restoring Europe to a. normal condition OF
physical political and moral health. Without
American cargosB for distribution through
thousand foreign ports, our merchant marine
will become field for barnacles, while our
land transportation systems will suffer propor-
tionately. The men in the mine and the men
In the field will find no demand for their labor
