HOUSTON PUTS
BAN ON FUTURE
FOREIGN LOANS
Allies May Be Allowed to Post.
pone Interest Pay
ments for Three
Years.

| Washington, March l0,-An-
nouncement by Secretary Houston
that no further loans would be made
to the allies was believed to indicate
the adoption by the treasury of the
policy favored by the debtor nations
deferring interest payment for the
next three years or more.
Under authority granted by con-
gress to extend $10,000,O00OOO
credits to the allied nations, the
treasury has made loans amounting
to So, ,65o,834,64o. Secretary Houston
said that the remainder of the credits
authorized would not be granted as
it was thought sufficient advances
had been made
Discussing the question, treasury
officials said that in view Of the ex-
change situation and the unsettled
economic condition of the European
nations during the reconstruction
period, it would seem advisable to
permit them to postpone interest
payments for at least three years.
Then, it is believed, they would be
in a position to meet their obliga-
tions.
Enormous Sum Due.
With the interest on the loans
computed at S per cent the total
due the United States yearly is
about $47O,000,0O0, an enormous sum
tor the war-wearied countries to pay
at present. If interest is funded into
long term obligations the interest on
tile payments thus deferred will
amount to only s23,0OO,OOO yearly.
which can be paid and the credit OF
the debtor nations maintained.
Treasury officials are working on
recommendations to submit to con-
gress as to the course to be followed
it deferred payments are permitted.
1t has been suggested that the in
terest on the interest be charged off, !
but the proposal has met with |
strong opposition in congress.
Americas chief debtors are
Great Britain with $4,277, 900, 600;
France. $3,047,e74.777, and Italy, |
$l.62l .338986. Belgium's debt is |
$345.445000 and Russia is charged |
with $lS7,729750. Roumania, Ser
bia, Greece, Cuba. Czecho- -Slovakia |
are other countries listed on the
books OF the treasury.

ritories. Here. again, the United
States disappeared, and to protect
the populations against massacres
in Constantinople, Anatolia, Ar
menia and Cilicia it was again
France that was called upon.
Therefore, ! repeat, it is unjust
to accuse us of imperialism. No
one in France protests against the
continual increase of the American
navy. Our army, like the Ameri-
can navy, is what circumstances re-
qaire it to be and it is not France
that created those circumstances.
1T is the debate going on for
months in the United States over
ratification of the peace treaty that
created them. Every one knows my
respect for President Wilson, but
think that in his last letter to SEN
ator Hitchcock he has been unjust

This was the encouraging conclusion
OF Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, presi-
dent Of the National American
Woman Suffrage association, in a
statement issued here on receipt of
news that West Virginia had rati-
fed the federal suffrage amendment,
With West Virginia won and the
Washington and Delaware legisla-
lures meeting soon in special ses-
sion, the opinion expressed at head
quarters was that "the struggle is
over"
"People who have followed the
course of woman suffrage from the
outside with indifference or small
understanding OF what has been at
stake" said Mrs. Gait, "will have no
comprehension of the real message
which the West Virginia victory
carries to women. To US it means,
that the nation is won, that the
70-year struggle is over, that the
women OF America are enfranchised

"!And now whatever comes out OF
granting the suffrage to women, it

SIMS SAYS Navy
DELAY IN WAR
COST MANY LIVES
Reiterates Statements Before
Senate Committee Prob
ing AdmiraI's
Charges.

Washington, March l0.-Rear Ad
r,iral Sims gave the senate naval in
vestigating committee today what
lie asserts. was indisputable evidenc.
that the Navy department fell dowr
almost completely during the hrst
-ix months Of the war.
Numerous messages sent by the
. admiral to the Navy department
during the early days of America;
participation in the conflict and other
documents were offered as proof
that despite the officers urgent and
reiterated requests that every avail
able vessel be sent to the critical
area OF submarine activities, the de-
partment neither followed his rec
concentrations nor informed him oi
its plans and policies
The lack of whole-hearted Ameri.
can cooperation with the allies
from the start. the admiral said, re-
suited in prolongation of the war
until November, 1918, when 1t could
iiaye been ended in July; needless
sacrifice of 100000 lives; expenditure
OF Sls,00a. 100000 which might have
been saved. and gain of 2,500,00O
tons OF shipping.
Information Accidental.
Most OF. his information regarding
American naval plans, he said, was
obtained accidentally at the admiral
ty or through visiting armed guard
officers.
When he advised that the convoy
system proposed by the British ad-
rnitalty be put into immediate opera
ton. Admiral Sims said he received
a cablegram from Secretary Daniels,
stating that ''in regard to CONVOY

sells having armed guards are safer
when sailing independently" Later
adoption of the convoy system he
said indicated the wisdom of his
recommendation.

miral said that in June, 1917, he

Status of Wheat Crop.

Prospects are that the winter
wheat crop Will exceed 5o0,000,0O0
bushels. Should the government re-
port due June raise the condition
four points, it would show b46,0G0,000
bushels
The first report on spring wheat
acreage and condition will be made
in the June returns. A reduction OF
20 per cent in acreage on a condi-
ton of .95 would give 2So,000,00J
bushels, which with 525,000,000
bushels of winter would make, the
total wheat crop s60,o00,00Q bushels
if maintained to harvest. This. with
the 15,000,000 bushel carryover from
the last crop, would make u total
supply of 100000 bushels, Or
nearly equal to last year. 1t would
be enough for normal domestic con-
sumption and good exportable sur
plus.
1t will be no surprise to see wheat
prices move up and down within a
wide range under existing conditions.
with no hedging it will mean a wider
spread between the price obtained by
the producer and that paid by the
exporter than at any time In years.
Margins OF 25 cents are expected to
be common and they may be larger.

URGES KANSAS PLAN FOR U. s.
Governor Allen Wants Government
TO Set Up Industrial Courts.

|sGovernor Allen wants Government
TO Set Up Industrial Courts.
Washington. June Establish
ment OF q federal court Of industrial
relations. patterned after the Kan
sas plan, was recommended to the
senate committee on education and
labor by Governor Henry J. Allen.
Governor Allen has put the kan
sas plan" into working effect in his
state. He was called to testify in
connection with the education and
labor committees effort to find an
antidote for strikes and lockouts. The
committee will hear William j. Bry-
an tomorrow. He Is expected to out
line the position he will take at San
Francisco in relation to the problem
OF Industrial unrest.
Governor Allen said that he would
establish an Industrial court in
Washington inferior only to- the SUI
preme court Of the United States
and would make decisions Of this In
dustrial court subject to appeal to
the supreme court. Regional indus
trial courts could be established in
other parts OF the United States
where found necessary, he said. The
court would not be founded to In
terfere with business or to fix prices
or to establish wages. but would be
established for the primary purpose
OF adjusting such Industrial disputes
al might seem likely to affect the
the general public adversely, and the
process OF fixing wages would be
only an incidental part Of the courts
|dYties.
0The court would have jurisdiction,
Governor Allen said. over only such
disputes as involve industries en-
gagged in the production of the nec-
essaries of life, but the definition -
such Industries would be made pur-
posely broad to take in any industry
in which a strike might cause great
inconvenience or serious financial
loss to the public. He was asked
what general jurisdiction the court
would have and replied that it should
have the same jurisdiction as all
federal courts, namely, disputes in
volving commodities or transporta-
ton In interstate commerce. He said
he would not attempt to interfere
with the establishment of state
courts for the regulation of strikes in
interstate commerce.
''How would you establish code
for such a court?" asked Senator
Smith. of Georgia.
1.-THE code would be established in
the same way that our common law
code has been established, namely,
by the process of building up thru
the decisions as they may be render
ed" answered Governor Allen.
The Kansas governor declared that
he was in full sympathy with the
findings of the second industrial con-
ference in regard to industrial dis
putes and he said these findings con-
stituted "a beautiful book of SER
mons" He said, however, that the
Industrial conference had only gone
half way by recommending what
ought to be the relations between
capital and labor and had not pre-
scribed remedy in case the rela-
tions in any particular case did not
happen to be as recommended.
What intend to do" he said, 'is
to establish the principle that the in
terests of the general public is para
mount. I want to protect capital
against labor; labor against capital;
and the public against either or
BOTH"
