 The report concludes: "A most i'm mediate and important problem for this country is how to extend further credit to foreign nations without bringing about added imitation at home. It is generally conceded that further imitation of our credit struct- ure must be checked if commodity prices are to decline or even to remain
 stationary. Advancing commodity
 prices would more than offset any
 gain to European purchasers through
 better exchange rates. In other words,
 this country is in position to extend
 further credit to foreign nations solely by curtai1ment of it's own expendi- lures and by increase in it's own pro- duction To create increased pur- chasing power by the creation of ad- ditiona1 credits without at least a | corresponding increase in the amount i of commodities available for export l is of no advantage to foreign nations | and is dangerous to our own country. 1 Far better would it be to leave the 1 situation to find it's solution iD~the l natural course of events than to ere l ate new credits and purchasing power | the effect of which would be merely | to increase the cost of living here and | abroad and the unrest resulting there 1 from.
 ''In the United States 1t is quite | clear that at least two things must ] happen to improve our domestic sit 1 uation before we can safely grant further large credits abroads. (a) l The first is diminished home con- sumption and the saving resulting
 tI4erefrom, and if possible increased production. (b) Second, there mus be a revision of our system of in come taxation.
 Another means of granting cred it is through bank credits, which al are agreed should not be so employ
 ed except in cases where the credi
 does not extend beyond the period of consumption of the goods agains which the credit is granted.
 I stAs to the machinery to be employ
 ed in facilitating foreign trade, pro
 ducers of raw material and manufac
 turers who are engaged in exportini their respective commodities ant
 who therefore derive therefrom no
 
 pect of future business should, to :;
 great extent, preferably with, but
 necessary then without, the help o
 capital obtained from investors resi-
 dent in the districts in which the pro ducing properties are located (whic, . districts greatly benefit by such ez port trade), organize companies fo : the purpose of extending cred abroad, or else they should them
 selves directly supply the capits needed for that purpose
 "Where no substantial risk is ir volved the investor may properly b invited to invest his money abroad Where, however, there are risk \ those deriving profits from these risk should themselves assume them. ] with full knowledge of the risk incur e red, the investor for reasons of ser !, tinent or because of the possibilit = of profit chooses to hazard the yer q ture, no criticism can be offered, bl r it is highly important that the 1T = vestor does not embark on a ventul = involving substantial risk in the b.

THIEVES LOOT U. s. EXPORTS

Chicago, April 2s-Omcials of the Treasury Department have been for months trying to trace a gang Of thieves who have been footing United States exports. From Italy, France, Scandinavia, England and Argentine come continuous complaints of the receipt of freight that had been p1undered.
 A Massachusetts leather company consigned a big shipment to Gothen- burg, Norway. Six cases of $40 pounds each, supposed to contain high grade leather, on being opened were found to contain American newspapers, coal, scrap iron and rags, but each case weighed the amount shown in the in- voices.
 Six Christiania shoe buyers declar- ed that they had not received for six months one shipment which had not been plundered. The Grand Shoe Co. opened today three cases of shoes from St. Louis. Two supposedly containing 120 pairs of shoes held great wads of packing paper and only one pair of shoes.
 Eiinert Lund, a Christiania importer received on April 1 several cases o1 stockings. Every case was broken and some were nearly empty. James F. CoInnS, manager TOT G W. Sheldon & Co., custom brokers said investigations show that most ot | the stealing is done in transit in the ! foreign country from the port to the 1 final destination, though some wa& i done aboard ship.
 "It is possible that this is the worH | of an international band of experts 1 This is indicated by the fact tha- I packages bear traces of exactly the

MOST PROLIFIC HYMN WRITER
Fanny Crosby Credited With the Conn.,
position of More Than 5000 Pop
uiar Religious Lyrics.

Fanny Crosby. the blind writer OF
more than 5000 hymns, had an inter
eSting if uneventful career, according
TO a recent sketch in "Along Broad
way" musical magazine. She lost her
eyeSight when only six years old and
10 years later, at the New York Insti-
tute for the Blind, she met and fell in
love with the blind musician, AleNan-
der Van Alstyne. They were married
and lived happily, Mrs. Van Alstyne
nfterward becoming a teacher at the
institute.
Many Of Fanny Crosby's best known
hymns are to be found in the popular
Moody and Sankey gospel hymn books.
The simple earnestness and true re-
ligious spirit of her hymns make them
as popular as ever. Some of the best,
including Jesus Is Calling" "Oniy a
Step to Jesus" "COme. Great Deliv-
ercr'' and others have been sung by
great artists and recorded for the
monograph.
