Tells of Chambers Progress.

problems can be of valuable service IN
the government in the years to come
summed up the chambers progress in
these words:
Seven years ago President Taft NJ
the suggestion of the Secretary Of the
Department of Commerce, called "a
meeting of business men in Washing
ton to consider the question of organ
'iZlng national chamber of commerce
More than 700 responded and the
meeting lasted several days. Other
countries, France, Germany and Eng
land. each had had, for many years, a
national chamber or organization in
forceful operation, which had promot-
ed and protected their trade and COM
merce most effectively. This country
with its great resources. however, had
not such an organization. but the time
had arrived. it seemed, that the BUSH
ness interest of the nation, clearly re-
CURED a national chamber of COM
merce in order that it might, as other
countries had done, promote and pro-
tect, in every way, the trade and COM
merce OF our country. Moreover, tn
improve business methods and sys-
TENS. to be uniformly adopted ON
broad. comprehensive principles. that
would prove advantageous and benefi-
cial to the country and to business.
Seven years of activity have pass
ed, and potential results accomplish
ed. The manner of ascertaining the
opinion of the business men of the
nation. thoroughly and non-politic-
ally, has not been by the board of
directors pronouncfng the opinion of
the organization, but by a refereu-
dunn to the 1900 constituent bodies
In all the states of the nation. Ques-
tions only of national importance are
submitted. Twenty-seven referen-
dums have been taken on important
questions. and, hardly without an eX-
ception. each one has clearly indi-

Already Cramped for Space.
The chamber already is cramped
for space in the riggs building. and.

membership into departments repre-
senting various lines of industry. the

At the convention in st. Louis it
was suggested that 100000 be :
specified as the amount to be raised

said at the chambers headquarters
today, however. that the exact amount
to be expended on the building has
not been decided.

Conference Report Taken Up.


the House today shows that the House
conferees had yielded on the Senate
amendment to continue the half-and-
half system. while the Senate confer
ence yielded on the only other matter
in dispute-the claim Of the Keller
House leaders, including Floor
Leader Mondell. predicted that the
House will adopt the conference re-
port. Chairman Davis of the subcom-
conference report pleaded with the
House not to bring catastrophe
upon the National Capital by failure
to pass the supply bill now.
Discusses Conference Report.
The House had previously approved
the conference agreement upon all
other matters in which the Senate
had amended the House draft. Chair
man Davis explained that the Senate
had added 1876 amendments: that the
conference had previously agreed
upon and the House approved 1874 of
these. He showed that the confer
ence report presented today is signed
by all of the conferees except Repre-
sentative Buchanan of Texas. demo-
crat.
Chairman Davis said the chairman
Of the Senate legislative committee
had promised that If the question of
the half-and-half is brought in as a
legislative proposition he will give it
very close consideration, and that
Chairman Mapes of the House District
committee on legislative matters will
do likewise. He expressed the hope
that before another District appro-
priation bill is drafted the half-and-
half principle will be disposed of as a
legislative problem and that it never
again will come up to impede an ap-
preparation bill.
Chairman Davis said he had heard
the half-and-half voluminously ar
gued during the last sixteen years
and that he is getting tired of it. He
said he is thoroughly convinced in his
own mind that there should be a: re-
arrangement of the financial system
of the District.

View Of Mr.. Buchanan.

Representative Buchanan of Texas,
the House conferee who refused to
sign the report, told the House that
for more than ten years the Senate
has thus been forcing the House to
make a last-minute concession, and
he believed the way finally to stop
this is for the House to show that it
is determined not to yield.
House Leader Mondell said that the
House should vote to approve the con-
ference report, because it is abso-
lutely necessary for the good of the
Capital city of the nation that the
appropriation bill should become a
law. He said that as matter of fact
the half -and-half principle is not now
observed and that there is no reason
why the practice should be written
into the law. He said the Senate had
some grounds for its contention. q
In the meantime. he said. the con-
ference report must be adopted.

Bill a Remarkable One.

He pointed out that the present bill
is remarkable one in caring for af-
fairs in the National Capital, in which
the entire country is interested. Many
repairs which the city needs are pro-
vided for. including the streets, which
have been neglected during the war
on account of the difficulty of getting
material and labor.
Representative Sisson of Mississippi,
formerly chairman of the subcommit-
tee on District appropriations. led the
opposition to the half-and-half prin-
ciple. He served notice that he. would
move to recommit with instructions to
further insist upon abolition of the
alf-and-half principle.

Not a Fresh Departure.

"One--In the first place. would
point out that this treaty does not
constitute any fresh departure. !.
has for long been the established
procedure of the public law of Europe
that when state is created, or even
when large accessions of territory
are made to an established state, the
joint and formal recognition by the
great powers should be accompanied
by the requirement that such state
should. in the form of a binding in
ternational convention, undertake to
comply with certain principles of gov
eminent.
This principle, for which there
are numerous other precedents, re-
ceived the most explicit sanction
when. at the last great assembly of
European powers-the congress Of
Berlin-the sovereignty and inde-
pendence of Serbia. Montenegro and
Rumania were recognized. 1t is de-

this occasion by the British, French.

that they would be false to the re-
sponsibility which rests upon them if
on this occasion they departed from

also recall to your consideration the
fact that it is through the endeayors
and sacrifice of the powers in whose
name l am addressing you that the
Polish nation owes the recovery of
it's independence

sovereignty is being re-established
over the territories in question and
that the inhabitants of these terri

Will Inspect Horse Meat.

To open up the channels of trade for
country that do not pay for their keep,
and to increase the meat supply in
some of the larger cities in the United
States and abroad wheye horse meat is
used for human food, the United States
department of agriculture is authorized
by congress tO-inspect horse meat and
horse meat products. The amendment
to the regulations governing meat in
spection by the department was passed
by congress on July "a, with an ap-
preparation of 100000 to carry on the
work during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1920.
While it is expected that as aSresult
of this amendment inferior horses
throughout the country will be slaugh-
tered for human food it will open a
market especially for the small horses
many of them wild--on the western
range. These animals are eating much
of the limited supply of range feed
which is needed by live stock that is
better able to pay for its keep. Elimi-
nation of the undesirable horses not
only will save feed for more worthy
cattle and sheep, but will add hides to
the leather supply and increase meat
stocks.

Corn Mold not Harmful.

A good many farmers are writing
to the Iowa agricultural experiment
station to learn whether livestock is
likely to suffer injury from eating the
mold that is found on corn ears in so
many corn fields this fall.
This mold does not injure livestock,
as far as can be learned, is the an.
swer given. At one of the experiment
stations in Kansas. trial was made
some time ago in which cattle were
fed the moldy corn in varying guam
titles. 1t did not seem to hurt them,
even when they consumed good
many pounds daily.

Raise More Nheat.

More wheat should be sown this fall
than was the average in pre-war years.
but not so much should be sOwn as was
sOwn last year. This is the outstand-
ing fall farming recommendation Of
the United States department of agri-
culture, which is watching the. changes
of world supply and demand while Eu-
rOpean countries are getting back to
normal in food production and thus
affecting the market for American
products. The departments sugges-
lions are based on the observations of
specialists who were sent abroad to
report on foreign conditions and prob
able needs, and on the most extensive
reports it has been possible to obtain
from other sources in this country and
other countries.
