BUFFALO. N. Y, Oct. 21.-Charging that the Democratic party had at tempted to blind" the voters to do- mestic issues by devoting its cam paign energy to an already rejected foreign program. Senator Harding told an audience tonight that the first real duty of the nation in discharging it's obligations to the world was to put it's own house in order.'
 Tn a wofld readjusting itself after the trials of war, he said, the United States could best lend its aid to dis tressed foreign nations by setting an example of steadfast democracy and equal opportunity. TerseIy he re- viewed the program for domestic re- habilitations presented by him in his many campaign speeches and de- clared the progressive thought of the country should turn to such a program rather than concern itself longer with the Versailles league covenant
 Tonights meeting also was ad- dressed by Judge Nathan l.. Miller, the Republican nominee for governor.

(Republican Associated Press Leased wire)


 WASHINGTON, Oct 21.-Blanket endorse ment of the federal reserve system coupled with a pledge to aid the national railway equipment corporation, organized to help the carriers obtain equipment, marked the conclusion today of group meetings of the American Bankers association convention.
 As an outgrowth of the convention, how ever, bankers and others from cotton states took steps preliminary to the organization of $12,00O,000 crop export financing corpor-N ation to meet the situation which led to num- erous appeals from cotton growers for gov ernment relief. The corporation will be formed under the Edge act and start oper- ations with an initial paid in capital and sur plus of $6, 100000.
 The federal reserve system was given un- stinted praise by the national bankers group in resolutions, while the approval of the equipment corporation and the pledge to go before state leg islatures where necessary to obtain revision of laws prohibiting investment of trust funds in such securities was voted by the savings banks section.

Action Not Final

Endorsement of the federal reserve system. which included approval of it's administration, brought the national bankers again in sharp opposition to the stand taken by the state bankers, who yesterday denounced several phases of the reserve boards work. All. resolutions adopted in sectional meetings will be considered by tks- association committee and final action be taken by the convention as whole.
 The question of par clearance, with which the state bankers dealt in their section resolutions yesterday. was passed over today. The special com mittee considering it reported prog ress" and was instructed to continue its work. Its chairman, NJ. J. Bowling of Olivia, Minn., however, said the only remedy he saw for the country bankers who favor a collection charge on all checks was amendment of the federal reserve act.
 Committee Report Favorable
 The crop financing corporation pro- ject took shape at an informal meeting of the several hundred bankers and representatives Of the cotton inter- ests. A special committee presented favorable report.
 Tentative plans would enable the corporation to handle all kinds of agri- cultural commodities, but leaders in the movement aimed at the relief of the cotton industry as its primary ob- ject. Speakers. however, pointed out benefits which they believed would be derived by all producers of farm prod ucts. The plan provides for stock sub scriptions on the basis of $1 a bale on cotton produced in the various states and the payment down of half of the amount, or $6,000, 900, of the incorpor- ated capital. Under the Edge act such corporations are permitted to handle trade acceptances or purchasers agree ments to the extent of ten times the paid-in capital, which would enable the corporation to deal in such com mercial obligations to upward of s6o.- GOO, ,000
 Means Early Cotton Market
 Speakers indicated that establish ment of the corporation would mean an early opening of sales negotiations with European manufacturers, who were said to be in the market for around 3,O00,00o bales of cotton
 It was declared that the corporation was not proposed in any sense as a vehicle for the holding of crops, but as a facility for their marketing.
 The national bankers elected officers today, choosing H. II. Mckee. presi- dent of the National Capital bank of Washington, D. C.. as president.

how he might have the three baths by elm

the building materials industry instead of

statement they point out that Government
officials in the war time survey of the build
ing materials industry laid special stress on
the great rivalry they found. The official
reports state for instance, that the lumber
men in various sections fight each other In
trade and all of them fight the cement peo-
pie. In another instance the report says;
"The concentration of production at one
of the largest cement mills equipped with
the most modern machinery would have en-
abled the Government to fix cement prices
at a lower level, but the pooling necessary
to bring this about involved too many prac-
teal administrative difficulties to Justify the
adoption of this policy"

others. fluctuates at all times, but the slump
in lumber and brick and the leaning ten
oency in other basic articles were enough to
give the builders serious thought
When the average increase Iver prewar
prices stood at 100 per cent. builders and
students of the building industry could see
no prospect of a permanent decrease They
declared the chief hope for reduction In
the cost OF materials rested in a decrease
In wages paid to labor and they voiced the
opinion that wage reduction, in the nea'
future at least, was improbable.
One predicted that the peak of prices
would not be reached until the spring of 1921
and that from then they would remain
at a high level indefinitely. Another pre-
dicted that by 1922 reason would be thrown
aside and construction forced regardless OF
costs with prices in all lines of building and
real estate at figures higher than those in
1920. Still others expressed the belief that
we would not see any reduction In the prices
of building materials for several years, pos
sibly a decade.
These predictions are not outweighed by
any new ones since the recent slump in a
few of the basic building materials.
Say Slump Is Not to Last.
With the nation eighteen to twenty
months behind in its building programme,
leaders in the industry in New York are not
ready to believe that a permanent slump
in prices is due. They still declare that the
demand in an oversold market is so great
that a lasting reduction in prices is exceed
ingly unlikely. Some concede that there
might be somewhat protracted slump, but
they believe the law Of supply and demand
prohibits a permanent one.
Intimatons that the high costs Of building
materials are the result Of a trust or price
fixing combination are secuted by builders
here, many of whom declare they would well
come an investigation such as proposed by
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-10-03

The low average OF cost per square foot
as shown In the foregoing table Is explained
by the fact that il includes the cheapest
kind OF factory construction, which has the
highest percentage of floor space. The aver
age cost Of high class buildings of fireproof
material ranges from $3.50 to $1,000 per
square foot.
Allowing for increase In population and
TO catch UP with the shortage as figured
from the 1911 TO 1919 record of building, IL
would require the construction this year in
the United States OF dwellings, factories and
offices equivalent to 1897 200 900 square feet.
The actual building so far i'm 1920 has been
at rate of about $4,000, 900 square feet a
year.
In residential building in Greater New
York this year the rate of construction has
been only half that OF 1919 figured
on a basis OF floor space. High costs of labor
and materials, poor freight service and the
tightness of the money market are soma
tf the chief deterring factors The construc-
tion OF commercial and Industrial buildings
has been brisk in comparison to any that
would relieve tho residential shortage.
