FARM PRESIDENT SUCGESTSCRED|T. BE GIVEN GERMAN
 AND RUSS BUYERS
Recommends Opening Of Foreign Markets By Handling Of Securities Through War Finance Corporation
rRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wIre1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Opening of the markets of Russia, Germany and other foreign countries to Amer ican farm products through the han ding of securities of those nations by the war finance corporation was sug- gested by J. R. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau Fedora ton today to the senate agricultural and banking committees.
 Mir. Towards plan. as outlined to the committee in joint session, would provide for the extension of credits. by having such securities as foreign countries might be able to give for the purchase of American farm products handled by the war finance corpora ton either through selling them to American investors or by issuing de- bentures based on such securities. Mir. Howard emphasized that his plan did not involve putting the treasury behind such credits.
 In the case of Germany. the farm bureau federation president suggested that the American credit be made a first lien on all the resources and in- come of that country by taking prior ity over the claims of the allies for reparations. Such a step, he said, would be possible under the Versailles treaty and the only thing necessary would be to obtain the consent of the allied governments.
 The federal reserve board. through Governor Harding. suggested to Chair man Mclean of the banking tommit- tee. introduction and consideration of a bill authorizing federal land banks to make direct loans to the public for agricultural purposes and authorizing the secretary of the treasury to de- posit funds with. or purchase the de- bentures of these banks.
 w. w. Brauer, New York, who claims to represent the GerNan gov ernment with authority to secure a loan of a billion dollars for the pur- pose of buying American farm pro- ducts was presented in the committed room and did not appear as a witness

Plume Residents War Weary After
 2 Year Isolation
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

FTUME, Dec. 23-Captain d'An- nunzio has refused to receive any further communication from the Italian officials outside of Plume, either oral or written, considering that hostilities have begun. When ever the commander" as he is called here, moves, trumpets blow while his wild march "eja eja ala ala" Pesounds.
 Most of d'Annunzio's time is oc- cupied by ministerial and war councils, and in issuing -Rroclama- tions and addresses to what he de- scribes as his '1oyA population of F'iume." The people here have declared themselves tired of sit nation in which they are deprived of voice. and their exasperation is increased by the almost com plete Restitution to which the city has been reduced by two years paralysis of it's commerce. They disapprove of d'Annunzio's policy in risking a conflict with either Italy or Jugo Slavia, especially as they believe at this time General Caviglia means business.

join her hance and the message
announcing the marriage was the
first known of their intentions.
The happy groom is the son of

BreaZeale is In Convention
Race
Former Congressman After Presidency
of Constitutional Body

Former Congressman Phanor Brea-
zeale of Natchito:hes, delegate from
the Eighth District. is candidate for
president of the Constitutional Conven-
tion, and in entering the race for that
Office he has eliminated himself from
state politics by declaring that he will
not be candidate before the people
for any Office at the next or any future
electi- n.
This formal announcement came from
Mr., Breazeale himself in signed state
ment given out by him Wednesday
prior to his departure for his home at
Natchitoches. He has been in New
Orleans several days on professional
business, and while here took advan-
tage of the occasion to hold series of
conferences with friends in the city
and from other sections of the state
As result of these talks he decided to
become candidate for the presidency
Of the convention. and gave to the
press an announcement to that effect.
'In response to the request of friends
throughout the state" Mr.. Breazeale
said in his statement, 'that submit
my name for the presidency of the
Constitutional Convention. have con-
cluded to become candidate for that
high position.
In doing so, am guided solely by
The desire to bring to that position al
that ! possess of ability, energy and
in the construction and adop-
ton of constitution, the welfare of
the state demands.
Believing that politics in any form
should be eliminated from both the or
and deliberations of the con-
1ention. now unreservedly declare
will not be a candidate before the peo-
,le for any Office within their gift at
he next or any future election. Item

.s us reasonable
aa.r WAS everything still on am

81 additional indRm TO meet it's cost of
operation, and Rere was justice in the
argument that, New Orleans rates
having been Increased to standard,
country rates Should be brought up to
Or ,portionate ssvel.
Now the company is asking another
increase, applying both to New Orsan5
and tae country. But this time the
argument is against rather than in
favor Of the advance. and in justice to
the people, we cannot see how the
Railroad Commission can afford to put
this additional burden on them. New
Orleans is paying all it ought to pay for
IS telephone service, and we presume
this is also true of the country, mas
much as last years increase, was in
tend ID to put the city and the country
on the same relative basis.
One reason why there should not be
an advance is because the trend OF
| prices must now be downward. The
peak has been passed and all materials,
except newsprint, and labor, if not al
ready moving downward. are inevitably
headed for decline. 1t is illogical for
telephone rates then to go up.
| The other reason which justifies an
adverse decision by the Commission is,
the unsoundness Of the argument OF
the company.
1t maintains that in order to improve
and extendit business additional build
ings and equipment are required. II
will be conceded this is true. But it
is not in accord with sound business
principles to ask those who are already
paying top prices for the character OF
the service rendered to submit to still
higher charges in order to supply the
company with the revenue necessary
to make the enlargements and i'm
provements. The logical course for
the company to pursue is to seek new
capital to extend and better its service
1t enjoys a monopoly and the tele
phone is no linger luxury but an es-
sential. If the increase is allowed the
telephone user must either pay the
price or see himself deprived of the es-
santial. He can go nowhere else for
service. Only extraordinary merit in
the case of the company would. there
fore, justify the Commission in order
ing the increase, and there is no such
merit as the facts are before us

.uLlonal Convention.
That the announcement was re-
ceived with favor is shown in the
gracious and complimentary way
il which all three of the dailies
handled it.
The people of this, Mr.. Brea-
zeale's home parish, read the an
nouncement with appreciation and
satisfaction, and will lend every
effort TO its success; and we take it.
without. anything to the contrary
being known, that Mr.. Breazeale's
candidacy will have the earnest
and active support of his four
colleagues from this parish.
That Mr.. Breazeale's ambition
is worthy and laudable can not be
gain said. That he is we'll quail
fled for tie responsible duties is
admitted. His long experience in
public affairs,-six years service
ia the National House of Repre-
sentatives,- twice a delegate in
Constitutional Conventions, his
intimate knowledge of the States
Conditions and needs; his acknow-
lodged ability as a lawyer; his
familiarity with parliamentary US
age and practice pre-eminently tit
him for the position as directing
head of the most important body
every assembled in the State,-thc
work of which means so much to
the welfare of the State and the
future generations.
That Mr.. Breazeale is looked up
on as the logical head of the Con-
vention is not surprising: As a
candidate for Governor he deter
mined the platform that became
THE ISSUE of the campaign and
resulted in a triumphant victory,
in the election of Mr.. Parker:
and was the issue that reclaim
ed the City from most potent
political olIgarcby. During that
campaign Mir. Breazeale insisted
that if successful, the full fruits
of the victory could not be realiz-
ed unless a constitutional conven-
tion be held and a new organic
law adopted making a recurrence
of such conditions impossible.
The people voted to hold such a
convention despite most powerful
opposition, and we feel and believe
5he people want and expect him to
be the directing head Of the Con-
vontion that will draft New Con-
stltutlon.
In this opinion and idea his
