increased. Europe needs financial
assistance for reconstruction. Our
best assistance in healing her eco
nomic wounds lies in the promo
tion Of the great processes of pri-
vate commerce, not in loans from
our government. except the minor
amounts required in humanity to the
starving. Friction between mer-
chants over the higgling of COM
merce does not involve nations, but
the higgling of treasures does. Eu-
ropes best assistance to her own
recuperation lies in abolishing the
barriers to the flow OF business
processes and in the stimulation of
production.
We have the great responsibilities
of sympathetic character to some
of our sister democracies in Eu-
rope. They involve no political
commitment. They spring from the
human heart. Had we not inter
vened. Europe today would be gov
erned by autocracies from the Baltic
to the Mediterranean. We gave
freedom to many nations.
Aided Their Aspirations.
we assisted tnelr aspirations TO
democracy, not only for liberty's sake
but as being the foundation from
which We could best hope for the
maintenance of peace. We felt that
wars would be less likely from free
peoples. Some of the cities of Poland,
Finland, Czecho- -S1ovakia and Austria
are today struggling with sheer
starvation amongst their men. women
and children: Their recuperation has
not proceeded far enough to enable
them to find food through private
credits. The chaos that threatens
them does endanger. the primary sta
bility of that form of government
which We considered was vital should
be established. We have no right to
deny them the small amount of food
credit pending their recuperation. II
We. fail to do this we are not true to
cur sons who lie buried On the con-
tinent OF Europe. They gave their
lives for the downtrodden. The Amer
lean people-who have been the advo-
Gates of human liberty and OF de-
mocracy during this whole 10 years
cannot stand here, having stimulated
all these efforts, and then desert them
to starvation after we have launched
them forth on the road to freedom
We have a plain duty SO long as we
have a surplus.

Crisis Not New Event.

tenn Is not a new event, ana II Is ap-
propriAte to this day and subject
that should quote George Washing
ton, who at one time said:
Tn a. country like this, where
equal liberty is enjoyed, where
every man may reap his own
harvest. which, by proper atten-
tion, will afford him much more
than is necessary for his own
consumption, and where there
is so ample a field for every
mercantile and mechanical ex-
ertion, IL there cannot be found
money to answer the common
purposes OF education, not 20
mention the necessary CONNER
cial circulation, 1t Is evident
that there is something amiss
in the ruling political power"
That passage was apparently
written in slump instead of ar in-
flation boom, but the complaint Is
the same.
Various solutions have recently
been proposed. in order, as George
Washington says. to find the money
for the common purposes of educa-
tion. Many of them revolve around
Federal appropriations. Many favor
able arguments are adduced for
such a course. But our school sys-
tenn has gained its greatest luster
as the development of local gov
ernment and voluntary effort. Its
inspiration to community life would
be in large measure lost IL we in
terposed Federal bureaucracy. Such
measures can only undermine a de-
mocracy that must receive its in
spiration from below, and not from
above. Such cure would be worse
than the disease. We must secure
remedy by the awakening of those
local communities who are at fault
know of no greater mission to the
great enfranchised women of Amer
lea.

Was So Run Down She Could
Hardly Get Around But
Feels Splendid Now.

"Tanlac has brought JOY to our
family since it has restored my wife to
health and happiness" said John
Pidgeon, one OF the best known and
lmost prosperous farmers of South
Hero Vermont, while telling the facts
of his wifes recovery since taking the
medicine
During the past two years my wife
had her share Of suffering; why, she
had ind gestion 30 bad that she hardly
ate enough to keep her going. Right
after eating she complained of pains
and burnings in her chest and she was
so choked up she had to gasp for breath
She had awful pains across the small
Of her back and at night could hardly
s.eep. She suffered from constipa-
ton and had terrible headaches and
often she had such fainty, dizzy spells
II thought she would fall before
could get to her Her sleep was so
restless she would roll and toss half
the night, sometimes, and then in the
mornings she always complained OF
tired, draggy, feel ng. The least ex-
ertion wore her out, she seemed to
have no strength or energy and look
ed thin and pate.
"One day | bought her bottle Of
Tanlac as | had heard so much good
about it and she started taking it, and
IN declare, she just seemed to improve
right from the first few doses. She
has taken only two bottles so far but
she has changed so much that it hard
Iy seems possible. II makes no diff
ference what she eats now she never
complains one bit afterwards and her
breathing is as free and easy as ever.
The pains in her back have gone and
she is not constipated and never has
headache or dizzy spell. She has
gained eight pounds in weight, sleeps
fine at night and can do her homework
by herself Tanac has certainly been
a blessing to her and 1t gives me pleas
ure to join with her in praising the
medicine that brought back her heath

FURTHER RECOVERY
 MADE IN STOCKS
 WITH MUCH TRADING
Success of Polish Offensive and Improvement In For eign Exchange Were
 Too Big Factors
By Associated Press

New York. August 2O-The stock mar ket made further progress towards re covery today, yesterdays rebound from low levels of the early days of the week being very substantially enh4nced on a pronounced expansion of business.
 Not only were the days transactions the largest of the week but they en- compassed a more diversified group of stocks, including investment rails, as well as many speculative specialties re- gently subjected to severe pressure.
 While the rally was effected chiefly at the expense of an emboldened bear fac ton, commission houses reported signs of moderate, revival of out-of-town in terest in steels, equipments and high grade transportations.
 Among the developments which evf- dently contributed to the greater stabil- ity of the market were the further sue cess of the Polish offensive improve ment in the important foreign exchange quotations and relaxatiens in money rates.
 Local banks manifested a more liberal attitude regarding time loans, though holding to long-prevailing rates and cail money upset the calculations of the shorts by loaning over the weekend at z per cent, that figure ruling through out the session
 Steels equipments and oils were the most active stocks, followed by motors and their subsidiaries. rails and ship pings.
 Sugars recovered part of their loss and tobacco, leather and paper issues fea. tured the specialties metals also harden ing.
 Profit-taking caused the usual irregular recessions towards the close, but many gains were registered.
 The, bond market failed to keep pace with stocks either as to tone or ac- tivity, although Liberty issues, excepting the 311s, were mostly higher Among foreign bonds United Kingdom and Bel gian issues eased slightly with Anglo French 5s, while Paris 6s made a frac- tonal gain. Total sales (par value), ag- gregated s7,575,00o. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York. August ,20.--The cotton market has been very weak during the past week and there has been very rapid decline in prices. Profit taking by previous sellers resulted in
 m oderate rallies from time to time, but the selling had both heavy and per sistent with October deliveries making a. new low record for the life of the contract during today's trading. while
 the price of both May and July broke below the 25c level. In the case of October this made a decline of over $50 per bale. as compared with the high record of last April. while the quotations for middling cotton in some of the southwestern spot markets nave shown similar or even greater losses. According to local brokers the sell ing has been influenced chiefly by tendency to increase estimates or the crop, the continued depression of the goods trade, and the reported failure of demand to develop for early new crop shipment combined with in creased offerings from the south. The
 weakness of the raw~cotton market is said to have increased the disposition of goods buying to hold off and manu- lecturers are credited with having liquidated cotton contracts previously held as a hedge against forward sales of goods.
 In some instances spinners are also believed to have sold hedges against yarn stocks and considerable hedge Iselling has been reported for southern account The more optimistic view of the crop prospect was encouraged by the weekly report of the weather bu- reau, which said weathers conditions had not been satisfactory but which was taken by local traders as indicat- ling less than the average August de- ,erioration. Data for the next gov ednment report lis to be collected newt
 "Wednesday and while, traders here look
 for some falling off in the condition, they
 have been talking an increase in the crop indication.
 Unsettline Polish news was con-
 .ldered a factor 6n the earlier week de-
 cline, but better reports from that
 quarter seemed to attract very little
 attention later in the week and the
 continued unsettled weather in the
 south also appeared without much i'm
 mediate market influence.

Dun's Review
By Associated Press

By Associated tress
 New York August 20.-puns revleW tomorrow will say:
 While no single element fully accounts for the continued hesitation in business, it is even clearer now than recently that the price question remains the dominant factor in the situation. Resistance to market yielding persists. in some auar- ters, but fails to offset she influence of natural economic forces, and declines ;n commodity quotations this week. as Dun's list demonstrates, again outnum- Der advances by a considerable margin.
 Liquidation of goods that could not be moved at previous extreme prices is still d feature in various wholesale and re- tail channels, the prevail monetary re- strictions hastening the offerings in some instances and it is significant that open ngs of new lines of merchandise for forward seasons is being made appreel- able reductions from former levels.
 That most buyers have not rushed to operate at the first sign of price re- action, but have adhered to theii policy of limiting commitments as closely as possible as an indication that further deflatation is expected and predictions ,of scarcity of supplies to follow, based chiefly on the curtailment of production in some leading industries, are being largely disregarded.

LIQUIDATION IN
 CORN CAUSED A
 FURTHER BREAK
Pork and Lard Botb Made Big Dips,
 While Ribs Were Shade Higher
nu As.n.iat.d pr...

BY Rstoctateo FTesa
 Chicago. August &.--Further breaks were in evidence in all grains today be- cause of the liquidation in corn. At the finish wheat for December delivery was unchanged from yesterdays finish, at s. S7; while March was off &c, at g. 2Sia; corn showed let loss of 7sc to 41sc. while oats were up 1zc to Nc. There was decline in pork of 2n cents and loss of 15c to lie in lard. while ribs were a shade at 121ec higher.
 Buying by strong commission houses caught the wheat market after 1t had broken three cents at the start and prices were carried back to about yesterdayr finish, the market closing firm.
 France and the British commission were still out of the market. but Ger many took 2Do,o00 bushels at the gulf. Offerings from the southwest were larger toward the last and houses with seaboard connections became good buy CTS of rye futures, seaboard bids being on a firm basis
 Germany and Sweden have been the best buyers of late.
 Overconfidence on the part of the bears led to their undoing in the corn trade Early in the day the market with September in the lead. declined re- cause of highly beneficial rains over part of the corn belt. It soon became an oversold market and free buying of the September delivery by strong commis- sion houses absorbed the surplus in the pit. causing a rally which carried this delivery up seven cents from the low point of the day.
 Oats showed stubborn resistance to selling pressure from the start, there being persistent buying by commission houses for several days and an oversold condition developed here also.
 Country offerings were small and the
 F-I1 t.. kE-~ near future.
 Provisions declined after an early bulge and the average of prices was lower, with packers buying some lard.
