IN WAVE OF
HIGH COSTS
Individual Thrift Is More
Important Than Gov
ernment Economy.
By DAVID LAWR-NCE.


Washington. D. c.. April 60
Economic conditions in the United
States, including the whole range
OF factors from the high cost Of
living to the unrest in the ranks of
labor and the tremendous financial
burdens left by the war are show
ing a distinct tendency toward i'm
provement. They are not chang
ing rapidly but such changes as
have been noted are for the better
This. in substance, is the under
lying thought of the responses that
have been given the writer in the
inquiry just completed among Of
ficials of different branches OF the
government as to the business out
look in the United States. The
railway strike served to crystalize
opinion. There seems unanimous
agreement that while mischievous
persons have taken advantage of
labor troubles to interject their
own ambitions and doctrines. the
outlaw strike was but another man
Hesitation of the economic troubles
brought by tie war.
Ills That Follow War.
Searching beneath the surface,
conservative and thoughtful men
in the government find much that
ails America-all sorts CT ills that
follow in the wake of war. And
where political promise and parts
an defense is not involved. but the
viewpoint is broad, there is an ad-
mission that time alone can bring
relief-that an immediate readjust--
ment cannot be eype' Amer
lea, as one member of ,:e cabinet
expressed it, thought the price of
human liberty was worth paving
and she is now suffering the pain
and feeling the effects of her sac
rifices in the war.
Both in congress and in the e1-
ecutive branch of the government.
there is a recognition of and re-
Spect for facts. OngresS is
wrestling in vain with heavy gov
ernmental expenditures, some of
them inherited from the war and
some of them too delicate to be
cut out because of the fears of po-
litical disaster that may attend the
party that performs the surgical
operation.
All sides seem to be agreed that
the United States j carrying a
heavy burden OF financial credits
and that to strain the load with a
bonus TO the eX-soldiers would be
to impose a weight that might
carry crash i'll the status of our
credits, but on the other hand the
votes of the soldiers cannot be ig-
nored by ever SO many members Of
congress. Therefore. the treasury
department is watching almost
with bated breath to see what con-
gress will do. And it goes with
out saying that President Wilson
himself will probably veto the
measure if congress doesn't see fit
to kill it.
For OF one thing the public may
rest assured-the financial situa-
tion of the United States has given
folks at the executive end of the
avenue in Washington many wor-
risome days and sleepless nights.

can leaders of congress and the

RIVER MEN ASK
FOREIGN MAR1S
FOR u. s. TRADE

st. Louis, Mo, April 20-Pursuit
Of an aggressive foreign trade pol
icy by the United States, and enact
ment of federal legislation to guar
antee industry against strikes,
were advocated by speakers at the
opening session of the Mississippi
Valley assocition convention here
today.
The United States is producing
far more than is needed for domes-
tic consumption, it was asserted,
and foreign market must be
found for this surplus.
Ask Strike Guarantee.
Federal legislation guaranteeing
industry against strikes was de-
manded by Harry H. Merrick, pres
ident of the association. Mr.. Mer-
rick referred to the outlaw rail
road strike and recent steel and
coal strikes as criminal attempts
to stop production" and insisted
that the resources of the q states
in the Mississippi valley be coor-
dinated to effect this legislation.
I'VE must pool our resources,
he asserted. 80 that only those
favoring legislation against these
criminal attempts to stop produc-
tion will be elected to congress"
Opposed To Ship Sale.
Mr.. Merrick declared the asso-
citation should vigorously oppose
the sale of "any portion of the
United States shipping fleet, to any
but thorough Americans" and he
advocated equalization of rates tc
allow gulf ports to compete with
the North Atlantic gateways. One
of the most important propositions
he declared, for the consideration
of the association is the "lake-to-
the-ocean" project via the st. Law
renee river. BY thus establishing
a direct connection between the
Gulf of Mexico and the port of New
York, se said, shippers in the
northwest would be greatly bene-
fitted.
Edward A. Biggs Of Chicago
chairman of the foreign trade sur
vey of the association, was another
speaker.

EXECUTION
OF TREATY
UNCERTAIN
Allies Are Still Unable to
Agree on Ultimatum
to Germany.

San Reno, April 20.-(By the AS
sociated Press. The premiers of
the allied powers in conference
here, although busy with the prob
lens of the Turkish peace treaty,
have found time to resume the con-
versations begun Sunday afternoon
upon what warning or ultimatum
shall be sent to Germany respect
ing the execution of the treaty Of
versailles. 1t does not appear, how
ever, that their consultations have
led them beyond an agreement in
principle that something of a man
datory character must be sent to
the Berlin government, differences
in view as to the exact nature per-
sisting.
George for Blockade.
Premier Lloyd George, it is un-
derstood, is holding tenaciously to
the view that economic penalties
shall be imposed if Germany does
not conform to the treaty's terms.
The French contention, on, the 9th
er hand. is declared to be that it
would be more cruel to cease send
ing food supplies into Germany and
put stop to her industries by
shutting off raw materials, than to
occupy few districts with the al
lied troops until Germany can reg
ulate her attitude.
From the standpoint of internal
order in Germany, the French
statesmen also consider that limit
ing food and trying to prevent the
factories from working would be
more dangerous than restricted
occupation.
Nitti Supports George
Premier Nitti supports Lloyd
George. That is the situation on
that question this morning.
The council continued its exam
ination of the Turkish treaty at the
formal session.
An official statement issued by
the premiers says:
This morning the conference
discussed and approved the finan-
cial clauses Of the Turkish treaty.
The conference afterwards discuss
ed the Armenian territorial ques-
ton, especially the frontier ques-
ton. Before adjourning the con-
ference" took up the question OF
Batum."

upon speedily. he would put a
message on the. wire which would
