"A man born in Kentucky and raised
in Missouri is not afraid of the devil
himself" said Speaker Champ Clark
on the floor of the. House today. He
referred to David r. Francis, ambas-
sador to Russia, who had been the
subject Of what Speaker Clark thought
was criticism in the course of debate
on the consular and diplomatic appro-
priation bill. 1t is infreauent when
the Speaker leaves the chair and takes
part in discussions on the floor, but
he rallied in defense of Ambassador
Francis.
Took France 100 Years.
Speaker Clark then went on to discuss
the Russian situation and European af-
fairs in general. He pointed out that
Russia is now going through an ex-
iterience similar to that of France after
The great revolution and said it took
Trance 100 years to settle down to a
stable form of government He would
not be surprised if 1t takes Russia a
long time to work out its salvation, but
that it will be worth the price to fix
itself upon a firm foundation.
What I want to see, said Speaker
Clark. 'is every American soldier
brought out of Russia. and. more
than that, every American soldier
brought out of Europe. After we
have licked the Germans for them
surely they can police Europe for
themselves"

MAY CHANGE METHODOF
DESIGNATING SENATORS
Republican Leaders Confer Over
Makeup of Committee@Five
Named to Consider Idea.

Out of a conference of republican
senators held this morning there bids
fair to come change in the present
method of designating senators for
committee membership and in the dis
tribution of senators among the more
important committees. The confer
ence authorized Senator Lodge to ap-
point subcommittee of five senators
to take under advisement all the
pending propositions regarding com
mittee assignments and to report at
future conference their recommen-
dations.
The exchange of views this morn
ing developed the existence of a pre-
vailing sentiment favorable to modi-
fication of the spirit of the hard-and-
fast seniority custom to some extent,
though not it's entire ignoring or
abandonment by any means.

Importance of committee work it may
be advisable not to place the same

FOR BRANCH BANKS
TO AID j. s. TRADE
Mr.. Long Says State Depart
ment Desires American Es-
Establishments Abroad.
SPEAKS TN NEW YORK

10 St1mulate american foreign trade
the State Department will encourage
the establishment of American branch
banks abroad and seek generally to
encourage International banking es-
tablishments in this country.
This statement was made today by
Breckenridge Long. third assistant
secretary of state. in an address be-
fore the American Manufacturers and
Exporters Association in New York
city.
Statement Is Significant.
The State Departments policy, thus
announced. in relation to encourage
ment of foreign trade was considered
significant. in view of activities of
other government departments along
this lire. President Wilson. soon
after reaching Europe, cabled his ap-
proval of Secretary of Commerce
RedfieId's proposal to have business
agents connected with American ern-
bassies and legations. as a means of
promoting international commerce.
The State Department will take an
active part in this foreign trade pro
motion, it is indicated by Mr.. Longs
statement. and also by recent activi-
ties of the department in that field
The State Department already has ar
ranged with every other government
department which touches upon eco
the work being done.
Plans to Aid Trade.
~During the past summer there was
established In the foreign trade ad-
viserts office a new economic fntelli-
gence section. which Is equipped to
deal with the broad economic and
commercial questions witch are more
and more frequently arising" Mr..
Long stated.
ITO supply these economists with
the data which they need the library
OF the foreign trade advisers office is
to be made an economic and CONNER
cial library of the first magnitude; an
elaborate clipping and indexing serv-
ice has been established. and practi-
calfy all the monographs and sta tbs
tical work produced by other agencies
In Washing ton is kept on file for the
service of the specialists.
How Banks Might Assist.
In speaking Of the way in which banks
might aid in promoting foreign trade
Mr.. Lorg said:
'sShtps are the arteries of foreign
trade. and banks are Its -neve f1bers
Realizing this fact, the Department of
State Is disposed to encourage the es-
tablishment abroad of branch banks
which are American. which are moved
by the same impulses as are the firms
for which the banking is done. which
coordinate with the businesses of
America. and which pay allegiance to
the same fag.''
Mr.. Long pointed out that though the
United States always has had a large
foreign trade It's exports have been
chiefly raw materials and semi-manu-
factured goods. Now, he stated, while
we still are, and always win be, large
exporters of raw materials, we must look
after foreign markets for our finished
products.

Archibald Stevenson of New York.
\ representative of the military in
diligence service. told the Senate
propaganda Investigating committee
today that a large number of pro-
fessors in American colleges and uni
versities subscribe to radical and
pacifist views. 1t is particularly true
tof professors and instructors in so
ciology, economics and history. he
said.
That was learned in the investiga-
tions of the military intelligence, Mr..
stevenson said, and he told the com
snittee he expected to furnish it. with
the names of the professors holding
IL dical views.
Replying to Senator King of Utah.
Mr.. Stevenson said the professors re-
ferred to hold to radical and BIOL
shevik" views. and Senator King said
that it is time to weed out and drive
out of our universities these perni-
cious teachings"
E. B. Stahlman. publisher of the
Nashville Banner, who was expected
to appear before the Senate judiciary
subcommittee investigating German
propaganda, will not testify. accord
ing to an announcement by Maj. E.

mittee After a conference with Mr..
Stahlman 1t was decided that his
testimony would not be valuable to
the Investigation. Maj. Humes said.
The committee decided to discuss In

the professors should be made public.
Tells of Organizations.
Mr.. Stevenson gave the committee
the names of several organizations
which were classed either as pacifist
or pro-German In their purpose. some
of which were both. he said. Referring
to the Ford peace party organized by
Henry Ford, the Detroit manufacturer.
preceding xhe entrance of the United
States into the war. Mr.. Stevenson said
that Bosika Schimmer. who. he said.
undoubtedly was a German agent. aided
ship to Europe, but did not return with
the party.
He also said that the Church Peace
Union, founded by Andrew Carnegie as
a religious organization. was, unknown
to it's officials and members. used by
the national civil liberties bureau, q
pacifist organization. in getting paci-
fist views from pastors of churches.
1.-THE Church Peace Union was wholly
innocent of the use to which the paci-
fist organization put it to, the witness
said.
The Non-partisan League also was
characterized as a pacif1st movement.
Mr.. Stevenson said that the orEaniza- =
tion was financed by the dues of its
m embers, some of which was paid in
cash and others in notes. The notes
were taken to Rudolph Pagenstacher.
a New York banker, who was ask ed
TO advance money on them, he said.

He declared that Congress should at
once create a new cabinet officer to be
known as the Secretary of Transpor-
tation.
There are nine departm snts, or ra-
ther nine bureaus and commissions, of
this government having more or less
to do with shipping, none of them
having any connection with the other,
but each of them with more or less
veto power over the other" continued
the Louisiana senator. When the
President and his cabinet meet around
the council board there is none to

rine. Practically every interest in this
country, every line of human en-
deavor, is represented in the cabinet
except the business of the mariner.
There is no one to talk especially for
him"
Senator Ransdell paid tribute to
the members of the shipping board.
He said they were patriotic, able
Americans, and like other patriotic, able
Americans, capable of making mis-
takes. He declared that they had done

served the country's gratitude.
