According to a recent traveller in China, if that country had 100, GOO miles of railroad and a similar length of good roads, there would be opened up vast empire of rich resources for settlement and development. The Chi nese people greatly prefer to extend their own developments and relieve their congested cities by settling their own country than by obtaining oppor- tunities abroad.

FINANCE HOME BUILDING
PROPOSITION At PITTSBURGH
BY The associated Press

By The Associated Press
PITTSBURGH. April 22:-Impor-
tant industrial corporations in the
Pittsburgh district are financing
home building operations by their
employees to relieve the house short
age in mill and mining communities.
For the general public, trust compa-
MES have adopted similar plans, and
are now accepting what they term
installment mortgages" to encour
age, house erection.
The most ambitious program of
the lot is that. of the United States
Steel Corporation. Under this plan
tial investment of ten per cent. of
the total cost, is permitted to select
from a large number of plans the
kind of house that will suit his fam
lily. He then picks out a lot, usually
near his place of employment, and
the corporations architects and
builders do the rest. When the house
is completed 1t is turned over to the
employee who pledges himself TO pay
for IL in monthly installments cover
ing a period of ten years, the total
cost being just what the cost has
been to the corporation. Although
the plan is scarcely a month old, the
bureau in charge of building 10 Al
ready swamped with applications.
The Westinghouse Electric & Man
u%facturing Company also has a build
ing plan, and has just completed and
sold to employees fifty houses at cost.
They too are TO be paid for on the
installment plan. Another and much
larger program is in preparation.
The merit of these plans, builders
say, is that materials can be pur-
chased in large quantities, n the

home for less money than IL he had
bought the material and erected the
house as an individual.

estate and renting agents. Rents
have advanced steadily during the
past two years until now they are
from 20 to 100 per cent. higher than
in the early days OF the val. A rent

Judging by the estimates made bv the

to be paid TO the government in taxes.
Senator Harding also fayors repeal
of the excess profits taxes but says he
has no solution to propose, this probably
means that he is awaiting the advice Of
the country before making a recommended
tion of his own.
But before the campaign is over, it is
anticipated that both the Republican
and Democratic candidates viii be pinned

WASHINGTON, Aug 12.-Poland
with its back to the wall in its fight
against Soviet Russia. win ask imme

it was announced yesterday by Prince
Lubormirski, the Polish minister. More
than that. it will seek to develop pre-

meant by the announcement in its note
of Tuesday to the Italian government
that il would employ all available
means - to maintain a free Poland.
Expressing complete satisfaction
with the American note, the minister
declared he was convinced that it has
inspired Poland with ga new spirit of
hope. - He added that his country
was sorelv in need of war materials
of all kinds and that it probably would
first seek credits from the United
States with which to purchase them
simultaneously with the minister s
announcement, the legation made pub

council of national defense at Warsaw

STA itself
Diplomats generally regarded the
doctrine as having a three fold pur-
pose:
First, the extension of moral support
to the Polish government and people.
Second, an appeal to the masses in
Russia to throw off the Bolshevik yoke
and establish constitutional govern
ment
Third, the influencing of other ma
tions to refrain from recognition of the
Soviet regime.
The despatch of the note to Italy
followed series of informal CONVEX
sations that have been in progress for
several weeks between officials of the
state department and the Italian en-
bassy Early in the course of the nego-
tiations between the entente powers,
preliminary to the Hythe conference
between Premiers Lloyd George and
Millerand, the Italian government had
made it known that under no circum-
stances would it be ready to enter into
any engagement to go to war with So

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. l2-Governol
Cox having made completes exposition
of his views on the league of nations
plans for the immediate future to discuss
taxation and other issues that interest
the business men Of the country.
The governor is satisfied both from Re
publican and Democratic press commend
that the nation understands clearly that
he favors going in the league of nations
with reservations that safeguard AIneri
can rights and make it impossible for tbs
United States to be summoned to swal
against the wishes of her people

Of the East where the paramount thought
is about labor and business, he intends tc
give specifications as to his own course

When he goes to Wheeling, W. Va, Oh
Saturday of this week, he win take oc
easion to discuss in detail his attitude to
ward labo., the general principles oil
which he outlined in his speech Of ac
ceptance last week. But the main theme
Of his speeches next week viii be the re
lationship of government to business.
The subject of taxation interests the
governor more than any other of our do
nestle questions for he believes it fun

cost of credits The governor has been
engaged in large business operations and
some of his intimate friends and sup

mess men Indeed one of the evidences
of Cox strength in Ohio which had Sc
much to do with his election three times
as governor was a diplomatic attitude III
handling industrial disputes. As peace
maker and conciliator, he has won the
friendship Of both sides though those who
know him hest say it is not merely due
TO his resourcefulness- but to the fact that
he inspires trust and confidence
With respect to taxation, the governor
is prepared to show not only why the
excess profits tax should he instantly re
pealed but exactly what should be sub
stituted for it as a means of raising an
equivalent amount of revenue. As was
Indicated in his speech of acceptance, Mr.
Cox believes it would be far more equit
able to put a tax Of from one to l Il
per cent on every going concern" and
make every profitable business pay that
tax, than to destroy the initiative and
pcnaliza the genius Of business men by
excess profits taxes that eventually fine
their way TO the consumers bill. The
phrase going concerns was used bv Gov
ernor Cox because it was pointed out
to him that a fiat tax OF II per cent
