GIANT LOAN SOUGHT
FOR GREAT BRITAIN.
Sir George Paish, British Finan-
cial Expert, Says U. S. Must
4 Keep Europe Alive
ARRIVES AT NEW YORK CITY

New York, Jan. 1.--Sir George
Paish, the British financial expert and
formef editor of the Statist, who came
over as a member of the original war
loan commission, with Lord Reading,
arrived yesterday from England on the
Holland America liner Nieuw Amster-
dam to discuss the international fnan.
cial situation with bankers in this coun-
try, with view to raising further
loans, and he hopes to improve the ex-
change rate between Great Britain and
the United States.
The financial expert appeared to be
pessimistic about the outlook in Eu-
rope, and expressed the firm conviction
that the United States was the only
country in the world which could supply
the remedy to the conditions existing
over there, and that vas money and
plenty of it. Sir George believes thai
long time loan of an amount greater
than any previous national loan ever
negotiated is needed to carry on the
gigantic task of reconstructing and
rehabilitating Europe.
The United States must lend Eng
land the money, because England is
buying, here extensively and reselhng
virtually to all Europe" said Sir
George. "The condition of Central Eu
rope is something that most people do
not understand and the situation is most
serious. The economic situation in
Austria will be reflected throughout the
entire world unless aid comes to that
country at once"
England is the financial clearing
house for the whole of Europe" he
continued, 'and for that reason needs
enormous loans which must be fur
nished by the United States. If suffi-
cient money is forthcoming England
and Europe will be all right, but if it
Is not furnished then bankruptcy and o
scourge threaten the countries over
there.
No Hostility to Reservations
Sir Georges survey of the economic
conditions of every nation of Europe
and his intimate knowledge of the actual
views and hopes of the statesmen and
fnanciers of Great Britain, France and
Of the other important Allies, con
vince him that there is neither re-
sentiment nor hostility in those coun-
4 tries toward the course taken by
American public opinion in withhold
ing assent to. the treaty and the
league of nations until reservations
necessary to the sovereignty of the
United States are welded upon the
] treaty.
4 On the contrary, he is satisfied that
Europe comprehends the precise rea-
sons for Americas careful examina-
tion of the treaty and for Americas de-
sire to safeguard her own future with
out prejudice to any nation of Europe.

DELEGATES AT CHICAGO TO
WEIGH QUESTION

Hope To Benefit Both Farmer
And Consumer In the
Plan Adopted
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.1

Chicago, July 24.-Two groups Of
delegates gathered today for the Sec
ond day of the convention Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
One meeting took up the problem OF
marketing grain; the other, that OF
livestock.
Delegates represented grain grow
ers and meat producers of the Unit
ed States and Canada. Organized ag-
riculture was represented by farm
bureaus, farmers unions, grange and
equity associations.
]. r. Howard, president, explained
that the bureau did not intend to 90
into the marketing business but that
the aim was to help form the market
ing organization in order to encourage
production, stabilize prices, and get
square deal for the farmer and
consumer"
Eliminate the Broker.
The new plan will eliminate the
broker and middle man that go be-
tween the farmer and consumer, he
said. Speakers included Benjamin
Drake, secretary Of the Farmers
Equity Union; DR.. E. E. Ladd, psesi-
dent Of the North Dakota college OF
agriculture, and R. w. Barnaby
president of the United Farmers OF
Ontario, Canada. Mr.. Drake told how
the farmers Of the northwest had
been forced to cooperate in selling
their grain, explaining that the whole
situation had grown out of a monopo-
ly which resulted in a loss to the
producers.
THE business turnover Of the Far
mers' Cooperative body in Minneso
ia was more than $4e.000,00O last
year and the estimate is placed al
more than $00,000000 for this year.
he said. I'VE are taking over the To-
cal elevators charging for the cost OF
selling the farmers grain. We buy
their grain on a margin sufficient to
carry on the business and turn back
the excess at the end of the year."

That Kind In City. -.
Faribault, July 2S.-After a review
of Belashazzar's- feast, notorious for
wine, dissertation and revelry, Rev.
F. o. Peterson, pastor of the First
Baptist church, in his Sunday even
ing serman scored local conditions,
charging that liquor is being obtained
and that drinking Is rife.
1--WE need not go back $500 years
to spend our vengeance and condem-
nation upon a heather monarch who
disgraced himself by wine and drunk
enness," Mr.. Peterson said. What
about our own city? Would anybody
think this was dry nation If they
visited Faribault? Is there a legiti-
mate reason why booze should flow
freely In our city, and that in VIOLA
ton of the federal law? What are
our local officials doing to remedy this
fragrant violation of the law?
"A prominent evangelist who has
a very wide acquaintance in Mime
sofa. visited us last week, on his way
to Iowa. While conversing, among
other things, he said that he had
seen only one intoxicated person since
the federal law took effect. If he had
lived in our city his impressions would
be different. / have seen as many as
four In a single evening.
"The handwriting is on the wall.
The people Of Faribault are not going
to tolerate. this condition much
longer. a4 =
