REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPORT RATES ID SOUTHERN PORTS
 WILL SOON BEGIN
Railroad Administration Is Planning to Permit Ship ments Through Southern Gateways on EqualTerms
 WithNew York and East
By Associated Press

Washington, July 15.-Re. adjustment of export rates to South Atlantic and Gulf ports will be started soon by the rail road administration to permit shipments through those gate ways on equal terms with New York and the east.
 This assurance was given today by Director of Traffic Chambers and Di- rector of Public Service Thelen to rep resentatives of the south and west.
 Representatives of virtually all the 2 Mississippi valley states, of the various ports interested. including New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola, Galveston, Houston, Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington, Jack sonville, Brunswick and numerous sena- tors and congressman attended the hear ing. They will appear tomorrow before the shipping board to ask that adequate steamship facilities and favorable ocean rates be given the south Atlantic and gulf ports so that combined rail and water rates on export traffic will enable them to compete with the east.
 In presenting the arguments for com petitive export rates, Judge J. Harry Gov iEgton of Washington and Luther M. Walter of Chicago pointed out that un- der present conditions it was necessary to haul empty approximately two out of every three box cars sent into the south to bring out the tremendous cotton and other agricultural crops produced there annually. It was argued that if revenue could be derived from those cars on the south-bound trip, marked economies in operation would result and at the same time relieve congestion in north Allan tic ports, which have all the business they can handle.
 Col H. F. Miller of Chicago, on behalf of the Mississippi Valley association, strongly supported the application, point ing out the urgent need that the pro- ducers and manufacturers in the interior have open ports and equal rates through the gulf and south Atlantic ports, so as to avoid the delays and congestions sur

WORLD MAP CHANGED

The contract treats with the most momentous problems that have ever been dealt with at any one time in the worlds history. The map of the world is to be changed Old landmarks are to be destroyed and new ones erected. The governments of hundreds of millions Of people are to be changed and re-estab- 1ished. The commercial and industrial life of the world is to be reorganized and readjusted. Great indemnities are to be exacted from the fallen foes and restraints in armament, industry and commerce placed upon them. These questions, and many others, were the burning issues that surrounded the peace table at Paris. They represented the future life of great nations and many peoples. They were the vital is sues to be solved. They were the ques- tions of today, but most of these is
 sues are not in close contact with the life of our own nation. Although they may mean much to us in the future, their importance is not realized by the people of our country today. So far as I have heard, there seems to be but little sent ment, if any, reflected in the public prints and in the talk of men, against the acceptance of the verdict of

WHAT ARE WE TAUGHTz

l civilization.
 WHAT ARE WE TAUGHTZ Has the suffering of the great war taught us nothing? Must we lapse back to the barbarous national morals of the past, without an effort to reach out for new ideal of national life that will make it as immoral for a na- ton to murder, rob and plunder be- cause it has the power, as it has been for an individual to do so? Has, not the time come for the universal estab- lishment of order and justice, the de- velopment of national resources for the benefit of all, the establishment of the freedom of the seas to the commerce of all lands, the repudiation of the grind ing down of the weaker peoples of the earth, the restraint of international greed and monopoly by the enlightened nations of the world in a high court of good morals, and the destruction as common enemy of any nation that here after claims the right to live by the sword. If this be true, then we must not close the book of the great war without making an earnest effort to baptize anew the old world into new and moral life for national existence.
 The most important treaty that has ever been negotiated is now pending DefOre the senate or the united states for ratification, amendment or rejec- ton. It purposes to end the great war, to restore our country to peace condi- tions. It comes to us after many months of delibera tion and considera- ton by ourselves and nations with whom we have been associated in the war Its terms have been acceded to by the nations with whom we have been at war. It is not the produce of the desires or the conclusions of any one nation, but it reflects the com promises that the compelling bowen of the worlds desire for an early peace has forced the allied nations to accept and agree upon in order that the peo- ples of the whole world may hereafter pursue the paths of peace ana aban- don the pursuits of war Under these conditions, it can hardly be expected that the terms agreed upon will be en- tirely satisfactory to all the parties to the contract, and in some of it's details, it probably does not reflect the senti- ments of any of them. The question that confront the Senate is not wheth- the treaty reflects the viesTs and kw ditions of the American people entirely, but as to whether, taken as a whole, it is best to accept it in it's entirety and immediately end the period of the war or as to whether some of it's terms are so repugnant to the true interests of our people that we should reject the a later date to reopen the peace nego- improving the terms that we desire to

That voters OF Moline at the gen

WAY TO PEACE
Avert War BY Closer brotherhood
OF Nations Is World solution,
Says Joel Eastman

To avert war and trouble between
nations and races there is but one
solution and that is a closer rela-
tionship and brotherhood between
ALI men, is Joel Eastman's answer
to the international problem, as he
spoke to the Sunday Afternoon
Mems Club at the Moline Y. NJ. c.
A. yesterday.
The speaker gave as Illustration
the shipment of 100000 Chinese INTO
San Francisco or 20 900 negroes
into South Carolina, saying that the
ultimate result would be war, for
one race will never tolerate domip-
alton by another. We must get
together" he said, land form a clio
ser brotherhood and instead OF Iiv-
ing through a veritable hell such
as we did in the four years of the
world war, live Christian lives,
with peace on earth and good will
to men.
Man always wants to satisfy his
desires. Germany and Austria
said they were going to rule the
world England, France and Italy
wanted to rule the sea, and then
the United States built a merchant
marine which was to control nearly
all the commerce. What was the
result? 1t can't be done There
must be good fellowship among all
nations if we are to have peace.
Greece gave art and philosophy to
the world and England democracy.
What is this country to give? We
are to show the way to a solution
of the good fellowship problem"
