COPELAND ORDERS CUT IN
 MILK PRICES
Warns Distributors Pubic Will No Longer Tolerate
 Present high Cost

New York, Nov 11.-Health Com missioner Copeland, Chairman of the Governors Fair Milk Price Commit tee, which is Investigating the causes for the increase of l 1-2 and 2 cents a quart in the retail price of milk for this month, declared at B hear ing before that body at the City Hall yesterday afternoon that some way must be found to reduce the price of milk to the consumer, and gave 1t as his opinion that the burden for work ing out this method lay with the dis tributors, if they desire to continue in business. He requested the repre- sentattves of the large distributing companies present to get together work out some practical plan looking to this end, and submit it to the com mittee at a subsequent meeting. They agreed to do this.
 The public is not in a frame Of mind, Dr. Copeland continued, to tol- crate any longer the imposition of such high prices for milk. and unless something is done to bring them down the people will take the matter into t7'@fr own hands. They will do nothing violent, he said further. bur they will pursue some course that will insure for them cheaper milk. He pOlllttu out that fGl1:k IS EjiH nOWn lG New York city for about 9 1-2 cents 9 quart and is sold to the consumer for 15 cents @ quart. Dr. Coppe1aud told the distributors that he was merely pointing out to them the feel ing of public sentiment as he was able to interpret t.
 Thousands of children in New York City, know of my own knowl- edge" said DT. Copeland, ''are getting only one and a half cups of milk day. and there are many who are not getting any at all, because of the high prices that are being chareed.'
 When T. p. Fox. Vice President Of BoT9en's Products Company. said he would not have time to serve on q cor1rn5tte of distributors which Dr. CoDe7and had in mind, to work out some plan for lower priced milk, pr. Coraland remarked that failure to do something to brine down the price Of milk might result in his having more . time on his hands than he knew what to Go with. Later, when pr. Cope land decided not to appoint 9 commit ttr% hut rely upon the distributors 0 yo1zrr7' 4Tt'v wort or+ z plan md Srr'0- mt E. -o rHo Fair Price Committee. N'T. Fox said he world be glad to act with he other distributors.

SILVER DOLLAR IS WORTH MORE
 THAN S1 NOW
Rise In Price Gives Coin Higher Value As Bullion
 Than Its Face Value

New York, Nov. 11-For the first time in thirty-five years the metal in the American silver dollar is worth more than the face value of the coin.
 Sales of the metal were made in the New York market yesterday at $1.301& cents at ounce. The gold parity of the silver dollar is $1.2929; that is; when silver metal sells at that price the silver in the dollar is worth a dollar.
 With the silver selling around the high price established yesterday it will be profitable to melt down dol lars and sell them as bullion. Bullion dealers estimated the melting cost at about half 3 cent an ounce. ''Gou- lashing'' of dollars as the bullion trade calls melting them down. is not likely to become much of q practice, however, because Of the limited num- Der of dollars in circulati ton. Upward of S2O0, 100000 worth of silver dol lars were melted down and sold as bullion under the provisions Of the wartime Pitt1nan act. Much of that silver went to Indian to pay for war purchases.
 Silver, like most other commodi- ties, has been steadily rising in price since the war began, and the move ment has been accelerated since the signing of the arnlistice by reason Of the heavy world demand for the metal for coinage. With the withdra wal of gold from circulation in various parts of the world as a result of the war, silver has come inlo greater use, par ticUlarly ;n Europe, where it has temporarily taken the place of gold as hard money.
 Since lasr May, when the United States lifted the embargo upon OK ports of silver from the country, China has come into this market as 3 heavy purchaser. and recently sales for shipment to the Far East have been running at the rate of 1000. .OG0 to 10,000,000 ounces month. In August exports 10 China reached the larger figure, and in September they exceeded 1000, 900 ounces. China is bidding asainst the world for silver at present and is wiling to pay q higher price than England. That is the principal factor in the market at the monent, and the demand from that quarter is expected to centtnue. heavy fer some time.

BUSINESS MEN TO LIMIT MEMBERS TO
 LEAGUE NATIONS

One Of the far-reachng results of the International Trade Conference held recently at Atlantic City was the inauguration of an interna tional or ganization of business men in which rep 'esentation shall be limited to countries included in the League of Nations. The purpose of this or ganiZation was declared to be ito pro- mote international commerce, to fa- cilitate the commercial intercourse of nations, to secure harmony of action on all international qlestions involving commerce and industry, and to pro- mote peace, progress and cordial re- lations between the countries and their citizens, the co-operat ton of business and their association devot- ed to the development of commerce and industry The specific aims of the organization were declared to be "(a) To create a permanent interna- tional headquarters which will cen tralize all data concerning economic subjects and social conditions, the facts relating to respective needs, present productions, and future pos abilities of each country. Cb) To act as an instrument of coordination which will suggest regulations and legislative measures to facilitate and encourage the development of eco homie intercourse. (c) To inform public opinion through publication of facts concerning business conditions, and through disseu nation of the views of technical experts and busi- ness men. (d) To put at the disposal of all official organizations any reports and conclusions prepared by those experts and business men"
 This conference was attended by -N Great Britain. France, Italy, Belgium, and the United States. The European representa- lives took the opportunity ferees their ideas concerning the needs of their countries for credits here if we are to continue supplying them with food, raw materials, and machinery. The total Of these de- sired credits was estimated ct some thing more than billion dollars for the year 1920. Naturally no definite answer could be given the foreign delegates as to just how, when, or to what extent these indicated needs could he met. It was proposed by Secretary Redfeld of the Departrn ent of Comm cree that Q foreign finance corporation e capitalized at from s500,- 900, DOC 10 $E.00Q, coo, ,000 Le organized to finance exports to Europe and the world, accepting long term securities and obtaining additional funds by the sale of bonds to the investors of the United States. The Committee on Credit and Finance of the conference. 10 which the requests for credits -vo-e ~efcrred, expressed confidence that he needs of Europe cou7a be met. E'7d urged the formation Of barge corporations for financing foreign trade.

ILLITERACY IS FOUNDATION 0F
 SOVIET ORDER
Russia Has No Machinery Or Tools and Has Reach
 ed Stage of Ruin.

Ornsk, Sept 13.. via VIadivostol1. Nov. 11.-CBy The Associated Press), -IIliteracy is the horror Of Russia and it is on this soil that BoIshevism flourtshes, says Professor \. A. Os- sendofslly. the Polish chief If the In telligence Department of the Ali Rus sian government.
 He defines the Bo1shevilz order as: There is no more law. Go forth, burn, pillage. kill and you will be creduIous believe this and after two years the world sees the ruin of Rus sta.
 According to the professor, they have TO axes. scyrhes, sfovels or nails in Soviet Russia. The Council Of Ma ttoraI Comrnissartes is ordering that all the valuable English textile ma chimes in Russia be converted into such utensils as there is no cotton in Soviet Russia and all textile, works are idle.
 Of the chemical industry there is not Q trace. All manufactured goods have been exhausted Machines are idle.
 The professor estimates that all the debt or Russia could be paid up by exporting it's vast supply of timber and that its great stores of hard and soft coal would suffice the world for 1J years.
 Rusaia's surplus of iron, copper, zinc, naptha. gold and the wealth in fish Of the Pacific and Northern Oceans and Siberian rivers and it's fur industries could be utilized as a. firm fouhdatfon for any economical and financial policy that might be adopted by any Russian govern Ir4enE.
 But to accomplish this, 1t is neces- sary to have normal living conditions, continuity of work and assurance of the integrity of person and property p says Professor Ossardofsky. Toward attainment of these conditions. he be- Eeves the Au-Russian government at Oulsll is king progress.
 Having freed from Bolshevisn, one-tnird of Asia" he says, ''the Onlslz government has preserved un- touched the whole of the gold reserve belonging to the former Russian en- pire, preserved-it for the whole of the Russian people. Immense sums have been assigned for the purchase of agricultural machines and fertilizers The government has sworn to con- vere a constituent assembly which shall decide the age-Iong question of distribution Of land among the peas ants.
 "The Bo1shevikt having promised and actually given land to the peas- ants. began to introduce the eom- n1unal principle into it's asrarion policy and its method of distributing supplies with the consequence that all Soviet Russia has been shaken by peasant uDrisings-"

HUN PR0FITEERS SELL WHEAT TO
 DUTCH DEALERS

Berlin, Nov. 11.-"Economic trea- son." is the term applied by German writers to those who in the past month since the gathering of the wheat harvest have sold great sup plies of grain to Holland, obtaining a better price than the grain sells for in Germany and yet allowing the Dutch buyers to make a huge profit
 The smuggling of grain across the border is a fairly easy matter, and so the German farmers in the west have been sending tons across into Holland.
 There is a legal provision forbid ding the exportadon of wheat, and other cereals, and & punishment of from a month to a year imprison- ment. as well as fines up to 10000 marks, but threatened punishment is insufficient to stop the practice.
