(Rv Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Changes in
the constitution of the American man.
ufacturers' export association making
banks and insurance and steamship
companies eligible for membership
were voted on at the annual conven-
ton Of the association here. This de-
parture from the policies heretofore
governing the association was said
to have resulted from the organiza-
tion's desire for closer cooperation in
foreign trade problems
William c. Redfelds, former Secre-
tary OF Commerce, was elected presi-
dent to succeed w. L. Saunders.
In his valedictory address Mr.. Saun-
ders sounded the keynote of the con
vention, which he said was: In or
der to obtain world trade. American
manufacturers must now take lead
ing part themselves"
Banks Must Be Liberal.
He called especially on banks to
facilitate this leadership in foreign
trade by adopting liberal financial
policy.
"American manufacturers are not
bankers" he said The critical sit
uation in our foreign trade itself is
one Of finance. 1t involves banking
and investment problems This is not
our job. If it were we should prob
ably be less efficient in production.
Sure we do not wish to adopt the Ger
man system in which the banks con-
troll the industries"
Lauds Webb Law.
Mr.. Saunders lauded the Webb law
which provides international banking
and investment machinery, and urged
exporters to take advantage of facili
ties offered in expediting the financ-
ing of foreign business.
The following additional officers
were elected: Vice-presidents, H. S.

WASHINGTON. Oct 14-Houstcn
reiterated today to representatives OF
agricultural interests in conference
here that the treasury would not be
party to the Withholding of any conf
modify from the markets in order TO
maintain artificially high prices.
Spokesman for the delegation were
frank in their criticism of Mr.. Hous-
tons recent statement that prices had
begun to recede. but the secretary
told them as frankly that his state
ment properly represented conditions.
The delegation sought mainly 20
have the treasury revive the war Il.
nance corporation, arguing tina.
through it they would be able to OBJ
tain funds to finance exports which
they claimed were falling off creating
a stagnant market.
Explains Measure.
Secretary Houston explained that
the treasury was constantly in the
market to borrow money for the pay
ment of current bills. He told them
that the war finance corporation
could obtain money only from the
treasury and that if it were to loan
it, it meant only that the treasurys
borrowings would have to be increas-
ed, and the government would have
to call on the people continuously IUi
more money
Senator Smith of North Carolina,
declared that if such were necessary,
it was the proper course to pursue.
He said he had no objections to an
other popular loan if the exigency
required it.
Hope to Meet Board.
Prepared to press their demand for
more liberal credit policy, repre-
sentatives met today with the expec-
tation that they would be granted a
hearing before the full membership of
the Federal reserve board and its
agents, assembled for the boards reg

to the agricultural convention hoped
to be able to present their arguments
before the board formulates it's policy
insofar as it affects credits to farmers
Governor Harding of the Reserve
Board, yesterday told a committee,
which appealed to him for relief that
the board was preparing a statement
of policy covering all phases of the
credit situation.
Issues Statement Saturday.
The statement, he said, probably
would be made public Saturday Gov
ernor Harding denied that the board
had issued instructions which would
result in curtailing farmers credit.
For three hours a committee from
the reserve board listened to a delega-
ton from the agricultural conference
describe conditions which they said
threatened the life of the nation
through a reduction of food produc-
ton. Inability to obtain financial as
sistance is working the greatest hard

QUARREL over IRISH
QUESTION MAY Divide
ENGLISH STATESMEN
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct determination of
the governments Irish policy by the
liberal forces of the country, repre-
sented by the recent statements OF
Viscount Grey, former premier AS
quith, and Viscount Morley. seems
likely to grow into formidable move
ment.
The latest recruit IS Lord Robert
Cecil. one Of the most respected of
the Unionist leaders who has joined
Niscount Grey in letter to the precs
calling for an investigation by a con
stitutional tribunal as to whether the
government is responsible for the re-
prisals.
Refers to Lloyd George.
The letter begins by referring to
Premier Lloyd Georges Carnavon
speech as assuming that the reprisa!s
have been confined to the shooting by
police of those reasonably suspected
Of an intention to attack them or have
been incontrovertibly guilty of the
murder of their fellows.
1t proceeds: That is very in
complete account of the reprisals as
reported in the press. 1t is alleged in
apparently overwhelming evidence
that the armed forces of the crown
have for months past systematically
burned or destroyed buildings and
other property in towns. villages and
farms in Ireland; that they have fired
rifles and threw bombs at random,
and wounding the inhabitants and
driving women and children Of eli
ages and in all conditions of health
in terror to the fields and mountains.
AIlege Revenge.
These acts were undoubtedly CON-
mitted in revenge for horrible out
RACES perpetrated in the districts con-
cerned, but they have not been con-
fined to the individuals who have been
guilty of such outrages. On the con
trary. the victims have included Pro-
testants and Unionists who used to lie
bitter opponents of the Sim Fein.
ut is further alleged that the policy
which produced these results was
sanctioned by the ministers of the
Crown, including the prime minister
himself. These are grave charges, and
require full open and immediate in
vestigation by constitutional trh
bunal."

honored next week by Il representa-
tive Of the king of Italy, who will con-
fer on him the decoration of officer
OF the order of Saints MauriZio Z LaZ-

Friends of Mr.. Carr have let out
the secret of the new honor that is

work on the allied purchasing COM
mission during the great war. This
is the second decoration conferred on
Mr.. Carr in recognition of his valu-
able services to the allied cause. Six
months ago he was made a Chevalier

for distinguished services.
Called to Washington
Early in 1918 Mr.. Carr was called
from his business by the American
government to become dollar a
year" man as manager of the allied
purchasing commission at Washing
ton. For the remainder of the war
and some time after, IN this capacity,
Mr.. Carr and his associate members
made purchases for the allied nations
totalling several billion dollars. More
important even than this was the great
aid rendered by the commission in Sc
curing prompt delivery of materials
and supplies bought and so vitally
needed by the allies.
The Italian decoration will be con.
ferred on Mr.. Carr next week at the
offices OF the Italian government COM
