Middlesboro Ky. October Ex-Governor Coolidge urged a return of self govern ment" in an address tonight here at the start of the Old Wilderness trail. near Cumberland Gap. We emphatically con- demn." he said, invasion by one branch
 of the government of the powers and duties of another branch. We will re- pudiate those who make solemn promises in our name, which they neglect or refuse
 to observe, who seek to commit us to adventure upon uncharted seas without
 council with others equally responsible
 to us and which our common sense
 warns us to be perilous to our existence"
 Discussing foreign relations in general. he said: We demand adherence to those principles of right and justice and unself- isbness in our relations with other peo- ples which shall assure their friendship and their cooperation in the working out of the destiny of all humanity.
 Addresses were also made by Governor Morrow of Kentucky. Governor Lowden of Illinois and Job Hedges of New York. Both Governor Morrow and Mir. Hedges denounced the League of Nations, the former branding it ''foreign-born baby and the latter condemning itas perma- Hent political alliance with Europe. Mir.

FOREIGN TRADE IS
 BENS0N'S SUBJECT
Urges Development Through Merchant Marine to Secure
 World Peace
By Associated Press

Chicago, October 1s.-Pleas for the
 development of foreign trade through
 the American merchant marine as
 means of securing the peace of the
 world and returning this country to
 stabilized condition were made at the
 National Marine Exposition tonight by
 Admiral w. s. Benson, chairman or the
 shipping board and f1dward N. Hurley
 chairman of the board during the war
 Both speakers characterized the
 merchant marine as promoter
 peace, but each took up the subject
 from different angle.
 Mir. Hurley advocated an interna-
 tional credit plan patterned after ex-
 isting cooperative marketing associa-
 tions, with the American merchant ma
 rine as the nucleus of the plan and an
 international bond issue of from $loo,- O0O 00O0 to $150,000,000 to finance IL Admiral Benson saw in the merchant
 marine means of uniting the nations
 of the world and bringing them into closer contact, thus stimulating better relations and promoting peace. If the social economic conditions of the world are to become more stabil- ized if will be possible when the na-
 tions of Europe have worked out their economic and financial problems" said Mr. Hurley.
 Most of the nations of Europe will work out these problems in the next few wears and we who are abundantly able should be the ones now to supply them with credit and materials that we may later have them on our books as permanent customers"
 MT. Hurley explained his plan, which would provide for the issuance of $100, 1S year bonds to be secured by obliga- tions of private European purchasers, these obligations guaranted also by the purchasers government
 Admiral Benson after reviewing tho work of the merchant marine and pleading for its support by all Ameri- cans said:
 Commercial intercourse promotes peace. Increased overseas shipping facilities mean increased opportunities for peace promotion. Commercial con l tact spreads intelligence. Spread the gospel of honest communication over land. overseas through the air and | under water. Each of these are mod ern weapons against world ignorance, ! the cause of many wars
 P. H. w. Ross, president of the Ma tional Marine League. urged develop ment of inland waterways, calling at tention to Americas great ocean frontage which should be placed in contact with interior points through opening up inland waterways" Charles Piez, former director gem eral of Emergency Fleet Corporation, urged that foreign trade and the rher- chant marine should be developed hand in hand, but that Americas shipping should, for the time being at least, be under control of the shipping board.

Competition i'm Fall Hats
Public Expected to Resist
HIGHER Prices for Autumn

Indications of competitive prices
among, leading hatters sfor autumn
styles have caused the trade to believe
that retailers are not altogether salts
ned with the early season demand and
fear that the buying public may be
inclined to resist higher pxices.
Many believe that business on large
scale will be impossible in soft hats
priced at SIS or more-the figure gener-
ally mentioned for medium priced goods
short time ago-and consequently
new hats have been marked under this
price, except for the best grades. An
nouncement of leading chain stores Of
prices ranging from 1886 to slightly
above 81 has been followed by word
that another chain of stores would
offer both soft and stiff hats at SO. so.
Many took this action to forecast
lively. competition among popular
priced stores and believed that lower
prices would result.

price campaign to start the new season.

Better Tome i'm Silks

Coincident with cabled reports of a
slight increase in the price of raw
silks in the Yokohama market, a
better tone was noted in the trade
here yesterday. For the most part the
improvement was attributed to a con-
viction that business would be better
after the weekend holidays, as actual
sales both In raws and manufactured
goods continue on small scale
Raw silk men say that while sales
have not been large, inquiries have
increased and business has been in
greater volume than for several weeks.
This is taken to mean that mills are
again In a position to buy and stocks
are low. Increased activity in the
manufacturing end of the trade is
believed impending.
Wholesale prices of goods continue
as unsettled as the raw market. but
many manufacturers are refusing to
make concessions to stimulate busi-
ness and Quotations ruled firm.
